QuoteI think it's a mistake to assume that Robert Smith's lyrics are autobiographical. And it's also a mistake to assume that if they are autobiographical, that they should be interpreted literally.https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/7515/

Quote from: tanyasmith on March 28, 2019, 02:52:30The Man Inside My Mouth is the first thing that comes to mind. It's also pretty abstract, as if to hide what's happening, but comes clean about its intent at the end:i know this is off topic but something i want to take off my mind. one of the songs pornography siamese twins i heard about in a youtube video that theres some theory that its about molestation or some type of forced upon act that he had to do and he is traumatized from it. ive never heard about robert smiths uncle molesting him but ive only ever heard that one specific song is about it. poor robert :(
"So I was ****, I was **** like a fat lady would
But I couldn't hold it down another second
"Don't twitch, don't shout, don't think, don't even breathe"
She said, "Or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at the head"
So I was sweating, I was sweating like a fat lady would
And I woke up with a man inside my mouth
This won't hurt at all"
I think many of their songs are climactic and though they may not have one sexual lyric, it reminds me of climax and "afterglow." Out of This World is like that, so atmospheric. Also To Wish Impossible Things. I'm pretty sure The Cure didn't intend to write sexuality into some of their more subtly sexual songs, just happened intuitively.
There's differing said things said about Lullaby, but the closest to truth I could find is that it has to do with a child being molested. Tim Pope wrote that off, said that Robert was doing too many hallucinogenics or something, but my impression is that Robert's uncle used to molest him. Of course I don't believe that 100%, just pictures put together from things I've read.
I mentioned Letter to Elise on Twitter, about how he wished he could get inside of her, but never would.
I think one of the more subtle sexual songs is Lovecats. "Into the sea, you and me all the years that no one heard." (I used to hear "into the sea" as "intimacy)."
One of the obvious sexual songs, catch: "And I remember it used to feel soft at the time, but I always used to wake up sore."
The Cure is definitely a sexual band in my opinion, but again I think it's more subtle and tasteful than blatant.
