Girls - Vomit
Aquele momento em que uma música nova vira *a nova música da sua vida*
(e eu só descobri hoje, porque baixo as coisas e sou preguiçosa pra ouvir)
Pitchfork: Why did you name that song “Vomit”?
CO: Well, it’s about an obsessive, unhealthy need for co-dependency. I wrote it because my girlfriend at the time would go out constantly and never invite me or tell me where she was. I would literally go around town, [sings] “Looking for you, baby.” I played her that song one night and she was like, “Aw, you poor guy.” And I was like, “Fuck you.” But that was not a time of my life I was proud of. That relationship failed because I was immature. Try landing in San Francisco from podunk Amarillo and not knowing anybody, then you meet the coolest girl in town, go out with her for two years, and suddenly she stops talking to you. You’re living together but she’s never home. It’s unhealthy; I didn’t need that. I should have been like, “I don’t want no scrubs.” But I didn’t and I was whining this Nick Cave whine, like, “Isn’t the way I whine grand?”
But, as far as the title “Vomit”, in the Bible there’s a book called Proverbs which is written by King Solomon, son of King David, during the time when the Kingdom of Judea was at peace and flourishing. King Solomon was known for his great wisdom and he also fancied himself a poet, a songwriter. He wrote this verse that goes exactly like this: “As a dog returns to his vomit, so does a fool return to his folly.” So, to me, “Vomit” is about me, the fool, returning to his folly. This girl is mean and she doesn’t want me anymore, but I was like a dog returning to my vomit every time.
