"Slut Child" by Psychefunkapus
Look into my eyes as the lights go low
Can you see the perilous flame?
Take me to the place where your wild friends go
Let me fill your body with shame
You can say what you want to
You can tell me that you must be free
You can say that you're righteous
But you'll always be a slut child
To me
Your mommy's in the kitchen with your dad's best friend
Your daddy's in the office with Sue - working overtime
You hear the phone ring at a quarter past ten
It's your cousin, and he's calling for you (isn't it a crime?)
You can say what you want to
You can tell me that it's not your style
You can try to play it off
But you're gonna be a slut child
For a while
For a very long while
Why are you a
Slut Child
You're the kind of girl my mother warned me about
Slut Child
Wearing tight jeans with the knees worn out
Slut Child
Looking for adventure down the pants of a man
Slut Child
No one tries to help you 'cause they just don't understand
Oh no, they just don't understand
You took me for a ride on a saturday night
I saw your panties in the back seat
I thought it'd be cool, "outta mind, outta sight"
But the stench knocked me off of my feet!
You can say what you want to
You can tell me that you're really trying
You can tell me you're a victim
But we know that you're a slut child
And you're probably dying
Dying
Dying
Stop crying, baby
Slut Child
You're the kind of girl my mother warned me about
Slut Child
Wearing tight jeans with the knees worn out
Slut Child
Looking for adventure down the pants of a man




Slut Child
No one tries to help you 'cause they just don't understand

Overall Meaning

"Slut Child" by Psychefunkapus is a song that delves into the theme of promiscuity and the impact it has on society’s perception of a woman’s character. The song begins with the invitation to the listener to look into the eyes of the subject of the song, hinting at the possibility of danger. The lyrics suggest that the subject is engaging in sexual activities with numerous partners, putting her body and reputation at risk. Despite this, the subject of the song is dismissive of any criticism, insisting that she is entitled to her freedom.


The chorus of the song makes it clear that, despite her protestations, the subject of the song is seen as a slut child by the singer, and by extension, society. The verses of the song give examples of the lurid behavior that the subject engages in, such as sleeping with her cousin, her father's best friend, and taking the singer for a ride presumably involving sexual activity. The song concludes with the singer admonishing the subject for her actions, suggesting that she is dying as a result of her promiscuity, but also conveying a sense of helplessness at the situation.


Overall, "Slut Child" by Psychefunkapus is a cautionary tale about the dangers of promiscuity and how it can lead to a negative perception of one's character. The song also suggests that society is not always empathetic to those who engage in such behavior, and sometimes sees them as worthy of scorn rather than help.

I actually agree although I worked for Atlantic Records at the time. They did have a lot of support from a lot of the employees at Atlantic in most of the departments - we tried real hard for them. But it was mostly the "low-level" employees that got them.....
