Pheromone

Pheromone.

"I can see the castle, I can see the throne
I can see the beloved and she's not alone
But it's cool like that cuz I'll be diggin' her just the same
I can see the curtain wrestled from the wall
I can see the hands tied, I can see it all
He pulls a gat - this is how they play the game
And I'm 'round the back cuz curiosity, it knows no shame"

"I can feel the tension through the crack in the door
He begs 4 love while she's disgusted more
And I'm on fire cuz I never seen her nude before
I wanna save her (Save her!), I want 2 watch (Watch)
All my vital signs go up a couple of notches
When he unties her and she runs 2 the open door
He trips and grinds her right there all on the floor
She’s so close I can touch her (Touch her)"

"Her eyes are closed but there's no penetration
He just makes her point the pistol 2 his nose while he masturbates
And I see a tear headed down towards her smile
What happens next, it all depends upon your style
(Oh, this is crazy baby!)"


Make sense of this song for me people.
"London, i've adopted a name that has no pronounciation.... is that cool with you?"

"YEAH!!!"

"Yeah, well then fuck those other fools!"

And I'm 'round the back cuz curiosity, it knows no shame"

Actually I think it's:

"And I'm runnin'back cause curiosity knows no shame"

It was supposed to be about a voyuer watching the weird sex between a man and woman he was attracted to.

Honestly, I just don't know.

What exactly do you want translated? The lyrics basically paint a step by step picture of what happens between a couple where the man is abusive and has a gun fetish.

Prince (the voyeur) in song is torn between wanting to save the woman, but at the same time admits that he's secretly turned on by what he's witnessing.

The song ends in whatever way you the listener wants it to end. Either the woman finally the pulls the trigger to end her suffering in the abusive relationship or either the man finally "cums". In either case the womens tears head down towards her smile because the ordeal is over.

Not sure if that answers your question or not.

have you ever read "love on the farm" by d. h. lawrence? seriously, i think of that poem and "pheromone" as being two different aspects of the same thing -dark, primal, sexual obsession. check it out. the literary side of p.
