Lust
hey you gender nectar sifting
through the grain of gold >>>>>>
tripping at your door is that
you. alpha in her blood >>>>>>
and whenthe woman lies you
don't believe her >>>>>> rolling
and unrolling coiling emerging
running free >>>>>> running
through the underworld into
your room
is he real or a ghost-lie she feels
she isn't heard >>>>>> and
the veil tears and rages till her
voices are >>>>>> remembered
and his secrets can be told
hey you gender nectar
crystalline from the vine >>>>>>
you know you'll drink her
rolling and unrolling >>>>>> coiling
emerging running free running
through >>>>>> the afterworld into
your room so she prays >>>>>>
for a prankster and lust in the
marriage bed >>>>>> and he waits
till she can give and he >>>>>>
waits and he waits
I think this song is the epidemy of the merging of souls when making love. "Rolling and unrolling. Coiling, and merging. Running free." That's all about your freeness when you really love someone and you've decided to become vulnerable to them. It's the lust and the love coming together. And in this case, it's the marriage bed.
Here's Tori's description of it:
"Lust has a really strange effect on the piano and in the voice, so it feels like she's in a shape she can't get out of, but it's a shape that's able to bleed in to itself. Creating sounds like that--it's pretty intangible to try and talk about it."
“I really got that what lust meant to me in my 20s was very different. I’ve loved people and not lusted [after] them. But I found that I hadn’t experienced lust until I had some kind of trust for someone.” [Los Angeles Times - September 23, 1999]
SONG CANVAS: "LUST"
I had to bring performance to the sacred for myself. That doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of sensuality and sexuality involved, or that you don't get passionate. There is a primal thing that goes on when it's hot, as they say. There's this magnetic quality. It's like you're having an emotional affair with thousands of people, if you look at it like that. It's funny--we do these little meet and greets sometimes before a show, and I'll hear people say, "She's a really lovely lady" backstage before I go on, after they've just met me. But they're quite surpised that lovely ladies can go do what I do onstage.
If we can just for five seconds get past Bodily Functions 101, get past that first step of masturbation and into a higher level of eroticism, maybe I can explain it. I think we hav eto walk into another culture for a minute. Let's talk about the Kundalini being activated. At the base of the spine, the idea of the snake is coiled. And that's what a song like "Lust," which I wrote after marrying Mark, was really tapping into. The idea of rolling and unrolling, coiling and merging--energy moving through the underworld to the real world. Under flesh into the heart, then taking it back to the real world.
Similarly the song "Sweet the Sting," on The Beekeeper, makes my hips sway. This to me is a musical example of the marriage of the sacred and the profane.
