Transmission
Violent Delight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Short skirt, skin tight
What you want? She said
Ten quid, money spent
Trousers down in the dark
Caught a feel of something hard
What's that? I didn't say, I carried on anyway
On the streets and in the allies
Will I never ever learn?
Although I'm always getting burned
Why do I end up with a tranny?
After that, I'm high, having such a good time
I think I've scored till I find
A little bulge, between the thighs
Two balls, fake boobs, I've made a wrong move
She says goodbye, and I've done another guy
Every weekend is the same, over and over again
On the streets and in the allies
Will I never ever learn?
Although I'm always getting burned
Why do I end up with a tranny?
Transmission, transmission
Oi, oi, oi
Transmission, transmission
Oi, oi, oi
Transmission, transmission
Oi, oi, oi
Transmission, transmission
Oi, oi, oi
It's over now, he's gone
But is it really that wrong?
I guess it's hard to admit
That I'm quite into dick
Does it mean that I'm gay?
I don't care either way
Real girls are hard to find, if he can do it, so can I
Every weekend is the same, over and over again
On the streets and in the allies
Will I never ever learn?
Although I'm always getting burned
Why do I end up with a tranny?
With a tranny
With a tranny
With a tranny
The song "Transmission" by Violent Delight tells the story of a man who goes out every weekend to pick up prostitutes. The lyrics detail a specific encounter where the man pays a woman for sex, only to realize later that she is transgender. Despite this revelation, the man is not deterred and continues to pursue transgender partners in the future. The lyrics express the man's confusion and questioning of his sexuality, but ultimately embrace his attraction to transgender individuals.
The song's theme highlights the complexities of gender identity and sexual orientation, and challenges societal norms and expectations. The lyrics suggest that the man is comfortable with his attraction to transgender individuals, but struggles with societal stigmatization and labeling. The repetition of the phrase "every weekend is the same" reinforces the idea that the man's behavior is habitual and compulsive, further underscoring the need for society to have a better understanding and acceptance of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities.
