Whore
Pig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Half in darkness she stands in a dress of shrapnel,
Smoke and torn flags.
Dragging off cigarettes of human skin.
Eyes like cracked eggshells empty as life.
Her index fingers drip mothers milk like hypodermic needles.
She stumbles through my veins high on ash
And dry semen fiending for love.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Trojan Whore" by Pig Destroyer are a reflection of the atrocities of war and their impact on individuals. The half-darkness refers to the state of limbo these individuals are caught in, with no clear path to safety. The dress of shrapnel, torn flags, and cigarettes from human skin create a chilling image of the aftermath of violent conflict. The image of the singer's eyes as cracked eggshells is indicative of the psychological and emotional trauma they've suffered. The line, "Her index fingers drip mothers milk like hypodermic needles" refers to the desperation of war and the need for nurturing, even from someone who might do harm. The line, "She stumbles through my veins high on ash and dry semen fiending for love" is a disturbing and difficult line that conveys the desperation that those in war experience. The ash and dry semen seem to represent a loss of hope and a need for connection, even if it is not healthy.


The singer in the song is a Trojan Horse, a term used to describe a person or thing that appears to be useful but is actually harmful. The character is symbolic of the destruction and violence that war brings, and the impact it has on individual lives. The song highlights the psychological toll that war takes on individuals, who often have no choice but to fight. It's a sobering reminder of the pain caused by war, and the need to prevent it from happening.
