Merrill Nisker (born 1966 in Toronto), better known as Peaches, is an electroclash artist whose songs are mainly focused on sexuality. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany. She plays almost all the instruments for her songs, programs her own electronic beats, and produces her records.

Peaches' music is preoccupied with gender identity. Her lyrics and live shows self-consciously blur the distinction between male and female: she appears on the cover of her second album Fatherfucker with a full beard; when asked if she had chosen the title for shock value, she commented:

"Why do we call our mothers motherfuckers? Why do we stub our toe and say "Aww motherfucker!"? What is motherfucker? ...We use it in our everyday language and it's such an insanely intense word. I'm not one to shy away from these obscene terms that we actually have in our mainstream. Motherfucker is a very mainstream word. But if we're going to use motherfucker, why don't we use fatherfucker? I'm just trying to be even."

She refutes accusations of 'penis envy', preferring the term 'hermaphrodite envy', since "there is so much male and female in us all". Nevertheless, she does not shy away from identifying herself as a sexual being, although she rejects the sanitised portrayal of women in popular music.

Although she does not hold a teaching degree, she taught at private schools before her career in music.

Fancypants Hoodlum released in 1995 was released under her birth name Merrill Nisker

Members of her band are known as The Herms - JD Samson, Radio Sloan, Samantha Maloney.

Her songs have been featured in movies such as Mean Girls, My Little Eye, Lost in Translation, Waiting, and Jackass: Number Two. Her music has also been featured on Showtime's The L Word television series. Peaches performed guest vocals on P!nk's album Try This, on the song "Oh My God". Her lyrics are discussed as part of the Queer Studies course curriculum at the University Of Toronto, and she has been invited to lecture at the Contemporary Music Academy in Berlin. Her most notorious song, "Fuck The Pain Away", is also the name of an Electro night in Brighton.

Cum Undun
Peaches Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You cum undun
'Cause of what you've done
This ain't no fun
Slashin' there with my tongue
Can't beat so
You let me go
You cum undun

You cum undun
'Cause of what you've done
You're damaged goods
Since you got your hooks
And you're still fuckin' crooks
'Cause of what you took
You cum undun (x5)

You got your hooks
You still fuckin' crooks
What you took
You're damaged goods
You cum undun
Slashin' there with my tongue
This ain't no fun

'Cause of what you've done
You cum undun (x2)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Peaches's song "Cum Undun" are sexually explicit, but they actually speak of a power dynamic and the consequences of actions taken in a relationship. The repeated phrase "You cum undun" is a play on words, as it sounds like "you come undone," but instead refers to the climax of sexual desire. The lyrics suggest that the person being addressed has become undone, or weakened, as a result of their actions. The line "you're damaged goods" implies that the person has been hurt or made impure by their actions.

The line "slashin' there with my tongue" is a reference to verbal attacks or criticism, suggesting that the singer is confronting the person and holding them accountable for their actions. The chorus repeats the phrase "you cum undun" to reinforce the idea that the person cannot escape the consequences of their actions.

The song can be seen as a commentary on power dynamics in relationships, and the idea that a person's actions can have deep and lasting consequences. At the same time, it celebrates sexual desire and pleasure, but makes clear that these cannot be dissociated from emotional and psychological harm.

Line by Line Meaning

You cum undun
You have fallen apart

'Cause of what you've done
As a result of your actions

This ain't no fun
I am not enjoying this

Slashin' there with my tongue
I am expressing my anger through insults

Can't beat so
You are unbeatable

You let me go
You have given up on trying to control me

You're damaged goods
You are no longer valuable or useful

Since you got your hooks
Since you became addicted or attached to something

And you're still fuckin' crooks
You continue to behave dishonestly

'Cause of what you took
As a result of what you have stolen or obtained

You cum undun (x5)
You have fallen apart repeatedly
