After The Fall
Sex Gang Children Lyrics

The lyrics to Sex Gang Children's song After the Fall can be interpreted in multiple ways, however, the most accurate one seems to revolve around chaos and destruction that is born out of power and control. The first two lines suggest that some people believe that shouting is the only way to get their voices heard, instead of listening to others. Saint Barbarone, who could be the voice of the powerful, is represented here as a man who is swollen like a drum which denotes excessive power and ego. The blood and bullets on the floor suggest violence and mayhem, with cruelty unleashed upon everyone. The next lines hint at the fact that love and hate can both dominate and take over in such an environment of chaos. The singer goes on to express his fears for the actor and screams for the stage, which could represent the larger world stage where this drama is playing out. There is a sense of helplessness as the angels and insects are trapped in their cages, unable to do anything in the aftermath of the fall. The lyrics conclude with phrases such as 'bad leg religion', 'queen of assassination', 'stand on a drum, give up the throne', and 'hammer the wind that makes you sing', which all add to the sense of madness, chaos, and violence that is a fallout of those in power.

One interesting fact about this song is that it was released in 1982 and was one of the band's most popular tracks. It was included in their debut album, titled Song and Legend, which was released in the same year. Another fascinating fact is that the band didn't start as a music group, but rather as an art collective, which also included performance art and avant-garde theatre. The band's name is said to have been inspired by the Situationist International movement, who used similar names for their publications. Another interesting fact is that the lead singer and songwriter of the band, Andi Sex Gang, was heavily influenced by the punk rock, glam rock, and gothic rock movements. This was reflected in the band's unique and eclectic style, which blended elements of all three genres. The band's music was also notable for its use of unconventional instruments, such as violins and cellos, which were rarely seen in punk or rock music at the time. After the Fall was one of the band's most political songs, and it dealt with issues such as power, control, and violence, which were common themes in their music. Over the years, the band went through multiple line-up changes, and Andi Sex Gang was the only constant member. They released several albums in the 80s, but their popularity waned in the 90s, and they eventually disbanded. However, the band has since reformed several times and continues to perform today.
