Leaether Strip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I can roam freely and I'll never stop
Dirty little secret
I know what to look for in their innocent eyes
They're so fucking naive, they believe all my lies
I find them in chat rooms or outside their school
I offer them dreams of money and fame
Then they do what I want, my favourite game
They don't run to mama or no one else
It's their dirty little secret they keep to themselves
Dirty little secret
Show me some skin, girl, show me some skin
I'll make you a star, make you a star
Show me some skin, boy, show me some skin
I'll make you a star, make you a star
They know they are bad girls and I know that they like it
I do it cause I can, no reason to fight it
As long as the media makes fame the main goal
Then I got a future and I'm in control
As long as the parents, they don't give a fuck
Then I can roam freely and I'll never stop
Dirty little secret
The song "Dirty Little Secret" by Leaether Strip is a disturbing insight into the mindset of a sexual predator who preys on young and innocent children. The lyrics speak about how easy it is for the predator to manipulate and groom their victims by offering them dreams of wealth and success in return for their compliance. The predator is aware of the vulnerability of their victims and sees them as mere objects to be used for their own gratification.
The lyrics "As long as the parents, they don't give a fuck, then I can roam freely and I'll never stop" illustrate how the lack of parental attention or care allows the predator to continue their reprehensible behavior without any consequences. The lyrics are a pointed critique of a society that idealizes wealth and fame over the safety and protection of its youth. The repetition of the phrase "dirty little secret" highlights the shame and guilt that both the predator and their victims carry, and how the abuse is perpetuated through silence and secrecy.
Overall, "Dirty Little Secret" is a chilling commentary on the insidious nature of child sexual abuse, and the responsibility that society has in protecting its most vulnerable members.
