On the Slaughterfront
Pig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get your PVCs around your knees
I’m the pig
I’m the preacher
Get dirty, I’ll teach you
Throw your pearls before this swine
Loose lips melted mine
Vicious, vivid, Venus fine
Sumptuous joy, so sublime
I’ve toured, whored, been ignored
Gorged, sucked, and fucked some more
I cut a little deeper, never felt cheaper
Hold me slowly, almost felt holy
Way down, baby, get out of my hole
Screaming for a guy to take control
I’m dressing, caressing, leavin’, believin’
Forget it, regret it, please

I need a little foreplay
I need a little more pay
I need a little flashback
I need a little cash back
I got the beauty, she’s my beast
Looks like a leper but she’s my priest
The closer we go
I’m getting tired, my death’s too slow

My deed is where the dirt is
My home is where the hurt is
Baptized in a sewer of swine
Capsized in the chaos of crime
You're appealing, I’m appalling
I keep weepin’, I keep crawlin’
This wedlock is my deadlock
Ripped so wide, there’s nothing inside
And I sold out years ago
Living lower than the belly of a rattlesnake
I dress each day with the finest
Got a a shit-filled grin to kiss your face
Lick your body from toe to head
Where it always leads to your silken bed
Kiss my lover's severed head
Thank the lord for my daily bread

I need a little foreplay
I need a little more pay
I need a little flashback
I need a little cash back
I got the beauty, she’s my beast
Looks like a leper but she’s my priest
The closer we go
I’m getting tired, my death’s too slow

No balls, no brains
Just a bunch of broken veins
I’ll fuck all you hogs
Suck all you harlots
I’m the last, the pig of starlets
Lets rid it for a reason nothin’ to the wise
Sweatin’ for a high that your ass can’t buy
Your ass can’t buy

I need a little foreplay
I need a little more pay
I need a little flashback
I need a little cash back
I got the beauty, she’s my beast
Looks like a leper but she’s my priest
The closer we go
I’m getting tired, my death’s too slow

I dig my toes into the numbness of your life
I leave my foes behind the dumbness of your knife
Told you before, every hole’s a goal
Now you ignore, you're outta control
You messed up, now you better fess up

I need a little foreplay
I need a little more pay
I need a little flashback
I need a little cash back
I got the beauty, she’s my beast
Looks like a leper but she’s my priest




The closer we go
I’m getting tired, my death’s too slow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of PIG's song "On the Slaughterfront" are explicit and provocative, tending towards themes of domination, violence, perversion, and corruption. In the first stanza, the singer refers to himself as "the pig" and "the preacher", possibly implying that he is preaching the gospel of these unsavory traits. He speaks of himself as a sexual deviant who enjoys causing pain and is unconcerned with the consequences of his actions. He goes on to describe a kind of twisted love affair with someone who is both beautiful and repulsive, comparing this person to a leper who is also a priest. As the song progresses, the imagery becomes increasingly violent and grotesque, culminating in a chorus where the singer declares that he needs more foreplay, more money, and more power. He describes himself as a pig of starlets, and implies that he is above the law.


One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that they are a critique of toxic masculinity and the culture of sexual harassment and abuse that prevails in many parts of the entertainment industry. The song seems to be told from the perspective of someone who has succeeded in this world despite, or perhaps because of, his reprehensible behavior. He revels in his power, but is also aware that it is fleeting, and that his "death" (possibly metaphorical) is coming. The repeated refrain of "I need a little foreplay / I need a little more pay" suggests that the singer is never satisfied, and always seeking more. The use of religious imagery (the preacher, baptism) alongside the profane language and grotesque imagery creates a sense of moral ambiguity, challenging the listener to decide whether this is a celebration of rebellion against social norms or a warning about the dangers of unchecked desire.
