Drag Open
Women Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And dragging vice
Your lungs expand
So don't feel blue
She did out your voice and lips
You're such a drag
Open
Sit on your back
We'll see this through
Your chartered trips
You're smaller than sand
She did out your voice and lips
You're such a drag
Open
The Women's song "Drag Open" delves into the struggles that women face while breaking out of the societal norms assigned to them. The lyrics describe the journey of a woman who has come too far in life and has collected vices along the way. Though her road to success was bumpy, and she's dealing with some of the repercussions of her past, she's told not to lose hope as her lungs expand. It's a message of resilience and hopefulness which will inspire women to be strong and fight against the odds.
The lines "She did out your voice and lips, You're such a drag, Open" seem to refer to the idea that women often have their voices silenced and their desires suppressed. However, the song encourages them to break free and be themselves, suggesting that women can 'drag open' their true selves and reveal the passion that was once denied to them. The lines "Sit on your back, We'll see this through, Your chartered trips, You're smaller than sand" symbolize that the support of other women and the power of sisterhood can help them get through the journey, no matter how hard it may be.

@n0vi
rest in peace. I've listened to this song thousands of times, so sad that we'll never get anything like it again.
@kchaste7423
+Bryant unless you get SY back together to play some old material and get Epic Soundtracks and Nikki Sudden to do vocals together.
@wordsisnukes

This could easily end up on either 'EVOL' or 'Sister'
@ultrahero2115
Eugene Kuznetzov I could almost agree but Sonic Youth would never write something quite like the outro. And Kim is a little less present on bass than this.
@stevemeyer6343
