Jennifer
The Blood Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
340 beats a minute
(x4)
1..2..3 GO
Those slit throat confessions licked by randy flames of persuasion,
The shaving of the bone, the lingering taste of signed enamel.
The negatives... Jennifer.
The negatives... Jennifer.
Such uncompromising...
I said, "You don't need a doctor honey, you need a mortician.
Because(this aint no black mail) I don't want your money(this aint no blakmail), I don't want your favors. (This ain't
no blackmail...) This aint no blackmail well this is for amusement."
(you don't need a doctor honey, you need a mortician baby. You don't need a doctor honey, you need a mortician)
Don't shady pasts make interesting broadcasts?
And human error is never an acceptable answer
(x2)
... Jennifer.
The Blood Brothers' "Jennifer" is a song that explores the depths of a toxic, abusive relationship. The opening lines, "Her heart throb/ 340 beats a minute," set the pace for a song that is filled with confusion, chaos, and violence. The singer is stuck in a manipulative relationship with Jennifer, who seems to have a dark past and a desire for control. The lyrics "Those slit throat confessions licked by randy flames of persuasion/The shaving of the bone, the lingering taste of signed enamel" evoke vivid images of self-harm and masochism.
The chorus, "The negatives... Jennifer/ Such uncompromising positions," suggests that the singer is trying to break free from the relationship but is unable to do so because of Jennifer's possessive and controlling behavior. The singer acknowledges that Jennifer needs help, but not the kind that a doctor can offer. Rather, she needs a mortician, implying that she is already dead inside.
The repeated line "Don't shady pasts make interesting broadcasts?" is a commentary on society's obsession with sensationalist news and the idea that human tragedies make for good entertainment. The final line, "... Jennifer," leaves the song on an ambiguous note, suggesting that the singer's fate is still uncertain.
