"the only options that song gives us" Nah, I'm sure others can find an explanation. But then again, they would be as "accurate" as anyone else. That goes very every DG line. Sure, the same can be said for any line of any song to ever exist. But I'm just saying: What other possible interpretations could there be for a line that straight up says "Your wife has a lovely neck" and "My people suck" right next to each other? If there's some hidden meaning in there, it's hidden so far behind the obvious correlation between those words that it would almost be a stretch to reach it. Also, don't you try to tell me that the group that said these lines... "Teachin' bitches how to swim" "Bitch please, you must be smoking rocks" "I'm the coathanger in your man's vagina" "I got a black hat, It might live. It's got a black hat, It goes big" "Fuck this bird bitch, drink this bleach" "Have a sad cum bb" "Too many hoes in my muthafuckin' meal" "I'm a shitty stripper" ... isn't above vampire references. |

I wouldn't call "I'm the coat hanger in your mans vagina" a dumb as fuck line. It may be cryptic as fuck, but it does everything a cryptic line should; If you really think about it you can infer a bunch of interesting meanings from it. Its probably my favorite lyric in any DG song ever. I do agree on the vampire thing though, I don't think you can really infer anything else from the "your wife has a lovely neck/what would my people suck" line. I think the 'interesting meaning inferences' could be applied to any random assortment of words, though. At that point the lyrics "poop pipe got kid bikes and mad trikes said the man in the purple pike with the book, right?" contain oceans of depth because you could infer so many different things from them. I think being able to interpret lyrics in different ways is good, but at some point you get so out of any sort of context that there's nothing concrete to really set up a point of inference from. I'm always going to be a big proponent of lyrics like those on Beware; there's room for interpretation, but also a very real cohesiveness to them that makes reading those lyrics hair-tingling. When I read "I'm the coathanger in your man's vagina" there's just nothing that I can get from it that I couldn't otherwise conjure with my own imagination. |

What's your deal with vampires, haha. To me there's no reaching involved with interpreting DG lyrics as long as you provide some context, or have a crimson cape with fangs. It's really not that impossible to come up with other explanations. I would but I just woke up. Don't feel like it atm.
Also I hope everyone understands "teaching bitches how to swim".

... Vampires? Really?? Come on guys, think higher. Stop watching Twilight. If Ride could get his 'cure' (Jenny's neck) he would, but to do so would kill her. How do you not see how symbolically relevant that interpretation is to the concept of vampires, ESPECIALLY if you're thinking about the symbolism that made vampires so effective in poetry? |

I do have a huge imagination to start with. There's a lot that comes to mind with lines like "coat hanger / mans vagina". Deeming it one thing is not my thing.

Some of DG's lines are a bit nonsensical and don't have much meaning sure, but you have to give Coathanger in your mans vagina a little more credit than the example you gave. Without stretching too far it's already making statements about abortion and gender, but the best thing about that line is the imagery. I do kinda miss the lyrical approach they had in Beware, that was true poetry right there. I also can't help but think their changing lyrical style was intentional. In Exmilitary it's more coherent, but gradually from album to album it starts sounding like schizophrenic cryptic ramblings (in a good way) Look at the lyrics in Beware then look at Birds and just see how much it's changed. |

Well when you do that, look at Beware and Birds, just remember what which albums those belong to. I believe every LP has a theme to each and everyone of them are different.

I agree they're both conveying entirely different things, but I can't shake the feeling that each LP's lyrical style has gradually become more minimal and cryptic. |

man this line's easy. men don't have vaginas. ride is aborting your man's child. his inner child. ride is showing you shit that will stunt your maturity and fuck your mind up. I don't know if I'm on board for that one. Here's my honest interpretation... "I'm the coathanger in your man's vagina." I think the person Ride is speaking to is a woman, and he's giving the woman he's talking to an abortion. To illustrate: Let's say you're a woman with a boyfriend. If you would say that you are "my man's woman", or if your man would call you "my woman", then by extension your vagina would be "your man's vagina". That's not some super stretch or anything, it just seems like a natural language thing. So when Ride is saying, "I'm the coathanger in your man's vagina" he's saying "I'm the coathanger in your vagina, you know, the one your boyfriend has sex with" or something like that. I think that whole verse is him talking about the fact that he's part of what society persecutes or calls "gross". He's got yellowman jaw compared to our pearly white teeth, he's the raw ODB to our bourgeoisie, he's that gross abortion issue we like to skirt around. He's that part of our world that we try to sweep under the rug. But anyways, the reason I brought up this line in the first place wasn't to say I didn't know what it meant, it was to illustrate that Death Grips would not be above a line that references vampires. Some people seemed to get really uncomfortable when I brought up that idea, I was saying "Look, Ride called himself a coathanger in a man's vagina, calling himself a vampire wouldn't be out of character." |

he likes her neck, but he will only suck it if he can confirm that his people would
the songs about how people constantly worry about what "there people think" (john n shelly know what his people are for, so he should prob ask them)
(just my opinion i'm sure it's wrong but fuck it mang)
