STRICTLY FOR OVER 18'S ONLY!!! Every time I look at the famous album cover it seems more and more obvious. A Trick of the eye that's all? Are Genesis secret perverts with most of their songs having subliminal sexual meanings? ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

You're right, by God. The band asked a really nice artist to draw special pictures which were a visual representation of the songs contained within the album. Cheeky blighters, eh? Of course, it could be that I have no idea what it is you are alluding to  EDIT. I note you added another line. I still don't know what you mean, though.

Thinking about it 'Mad Man Moon' is also about Virginity or not having sex. - "Was it summer when the river ran dry, Or was it just another dam. When the evil of a snowflake in June Could still be a source of relief." Obvious reference to masturbation. There must be some theme to the album about fulfillment etc.

"Bored of the life on the city of gold He'd left and let nobody know. Gone were the towers he had known from a child," Looks like a reference to leaving the womb and outgrowing breastfeeding.
"They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance." Sounds like he's describing disinterested women, no tail etc no horniness, 'our existence' seems to suggest he's thinking of his penis and girls not paying them attention, city of gold must be the vagina... "Hello friend, welcome home." Sound like at the end of the song the Tail (beast) entered a vagina, the place he resided 'on' as a child! ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

"After many days journey we came to a peak Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out." Sounds like climaxing! "And wept as they led him away to a cage Beast that can talk, read the sign. The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame And questioned his story again. But soon they grew bored of their prey Beast that can talk? More like a freak or publicity stunt. Oh No." To me this passage is about a penis' owner "the beast" getting masturbated by a woman and he ultimately fails to get fully aroused so they eventually loose interest and ridicule him. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

I've always thought the lyrics were the remainder of Genesis trying their very best to sound as cryptic and profound as Peter. Hell even Collins sounds like him singing.
I'm not really sure I agree with the interpretation on offer in this thread. The lyrics themselves are as elusive as your every day horoscope scribble.

Crikey Dance on a volcano is very salacious! "You're halfway up and you're halfway down And the pack on your back is turning you around. Throw it away, you won't need it up there, and remember You don't look back whatever you do. Better start doing it right." Obviously a condom his stopping him achieve full erection, he doesn't need it as the smoking? hot? woman in the song is obviously too old to conceive. "You've got to go faster than that to get to the top. Dirty old mountain All covered in smoke," Sounds like a right mucky old bewer he's shagging, wants it fast to make her get to the destination too! "Your friends didn't make it through. Out of the night and out of the dark Into the fire and into the fight Well that's the way the heroes go, Ho! Ho! Ho! " Looks like his friends couldn't make her climax, she must be a fat smoking prostitute!!! "Through a crack in Mother Earth, Blazing hot, the molten rock Spills out over the land. And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away. Hey! Hey! Hey! If you don't want to boil as well." This seems too dirty to believe, he's in the crack, she's climaxed, the lava "juice" get's him excited he's trying not to "boil" and spill over. It's all a bit relax don't do it!!! This album is mental. I've always loved it but because it was beautiful and pretty easy listening but crikey it's pretty dark now I'm scrutinising it.

"Not flesh nor fish nor bone A red rag hangs from an open mouth. Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle" Very risky from Genesis - Smelly Fishy vagina, that isn't really flesh, fish or bone. The opening works but she can't conceive. To be honest I think this is another song about prostitution. In this case it seems to be a song about an older prostitute maybe who can't have kids. "His heart was broken long before he ever came to you. Stop your tears from falling, The trail they leave is very clear for all to see at night All to see at night." Clearly visiting a prostitute.

Ripples obviously applies to the ripples of skin on a flaccid penis. I believe the song Ripples is about a man who has ejaculated on a picture of a girl in a porn mag and he realiseshis penis is stopping working. "The face in the water looks up And she shakes her head as if to sayThat it's the last time you'll look like today Sail away, away Ripples never come back Gone to the other side Sail away, sail away" Basically the showered face in the pic is looking at him and through his ever diminishing sex-drive he's becoming no longer sexually attracted to it, he knows his member ripples are getting more common and he wishes the problem away. "The face that launched a thousand ships Is sinking fast, that happens you know"Here the song makes it clear that the girl in the magazine has given him copious amounts of erections in the past. But as pointed out his desires are failing with age. "Angels never know it's time To close the book and gracefully decline"He's a good guy but he needs to close the John Rorno magazine and just grow old as nature intends. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

I might consider it with Peter Gabriel (or more likely Ian Anderson), but think back to Invisible Touch. Phil Collins is not that subtle of a lyricist. It's all actually pretty literal as that's the only way that they have any sort of consistency. There might be some double entendres (less than you're seeing, I think) but it certainly isn't main point of the album. This is my take: Dance on the Volcano: A man is climbing a volcano. "She can turn you to stone" is petrification via lava. The "halfway up/halfway down/pack on your back is turning you around" indicates that he is tired and is attempted to turn back. I have no idea what "crosses are green/crosses are blue" means, but I don't know how that would indicate anything sexual. Entangled: a man goes to see a hypnotist doctor to get rid of his dreams. This one is hard to interpret because of weird phrases like "over the rooftops and houses" (if it's over the rooftops is not already over the houses, and vice versa?) Squonk: the red rag hanging from the open mouth is blood. Red clothing is used often in poetry to indicate blood. The main character is alive at both ends and dead in the middle because he's been stabbed. The character is an animal (called a "squonk"). He is being hunted and turns into a pool of tears when the hunter gets him. The key to interpreting the song is at the end. I doubt that PC was referencing a male prostitute (pronoun "he") Mad Man Moon: If I were going to say that there was anything nefarious about the snowflake in June, it would probably be because I assumed it was about cocaine. I'm too tired to interpret this one right now, though. It's filled with rather vague phrases. Robbery, Assault and Battery: is about a bank robber. Easily. Ripples is about a man going out to sea to find a land of prosperity and getting himself lost. The "pulls you down to your knees" line indicates begging and the pool that appears is the ocean. Basically, before he knows it, he's sailing off to find this land of flowing honey. Bluegirls are bodies of water. The title track is about that satyr on the cover leaving his "city of gold" to find love, ending up in the human world and finding that they have no "horn" or "tail" like he does. They're disgusted and afraid of him, and imprison him. He escapes and goes back home and the humans see a glimmer of that city of gold. Or perhaps it's just a trick of the eye? And why would you say it isn't about a satyr leaving a city of gold? More likely that than from the perspective of a lonely sperm in an owner with erectile dysfunction. ------------- https://dreamwindow.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My Music

Before I went into linguistics I got my Bachelor's in Fine Arts. It was actually a common practice for artists to intentionally incorporate phallic symbols into artwork precisely because of prior far-fetched analyses. It was quite a conscious effort and a little joke on those who want to read an artist's subconscious. I could see Banks being of a mind to intentionally burying sexual references. Whether he actually did here... And whether it was done through the whole album... Well, it seems far-fetched to me too. |

"On your left and on your right Crosses are green and crosses are blue Your friends didn't make it through." It's obvious, it's a references to ejaculating early or going the distance and still not satisfying the harlot in the tail. Green for go, blue for blue balls. Left & right/crosses may be vague symbolisations of balls and the penis/balls combo or a term for sex I can link. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

After more analysis I think it's more an album about sexual goals. Seems pretty obvious at times, especially when you consider the trick, tail elements and the fact the previous album wasn't about Rael but Gabriel himself and the last song Los Endos is a tribute to Gabriel. All seems elementary. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

| Really don't think any of this is true... You can find tons of these sorts of references on any album, practically song, if you want. Just pick out a random song that has lyrics that can be interpreted in many ways (i.e. just about every Genesis song) and I'm sure you'll find a few. |

This thread is hilarious! I understand now that I’ve been misinterpreting the lyrics all the time. I thought Dance … was about carreering, Mad … was about how you always feel that what you don’t have is better than what you have, and that Ripples was about aging (btw, "The face that launched a thousand ships" is a famous quote by Christopher Marlowe, and it refers to Helen of Troy: "Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships, / And burnt the topless towers of Ilium."). I don’t think Robbery … is more than an attempt to write a witty Gabrielesque song in the vein of The Battle of Epping Forest. They even have a musical quote from Battle … : The lines Amidst the battle roar, accountants keep the score and He's leaving via the roof, the b*****d’s got away have the same melody. But by all means, go on and find more sexual imagery. It’s good fun.  ------------- He say nothing is quite what it seems; I say nothing is nothing (Peter Hammill) |

All in a mouses night is about a man going out for sex with a lady of the night but he ejaculates during oral sex. 'Mouse' and 'cat' are euphemisms.
Pink Floyd used recurring themes in their albums that centered around mental illness or war. Most Genesis tracks revolved around sex or mythical tales. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

The palpitating cherry-red organ was returned to its rightful place and began to beat faster as it led our hero, counting out time, through his first romantic encounter. Counting out time has been linked to sex and masturbation by many music reviewers down the years. I'm not so sure though. Obviously http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/1639/" rel="nofollow - is a song about a prostitute. "Lilywhite Lilith, She gonna take you thru' the tunnel of night" "I can hear a whirring sound growing near. I can see the corner of the tunnel, Lit up by whatever's coming here. Two golden globes float into the room And a blaze of white light fills the air." Growing refers to a swelling penis making repetitive rubbing noises, seeing the corner of the tunnel is Rael watching it go in, lit up mean getting moist by Rael's increasing strokes, two golden globes floating means the tightening of the nuts and the last line is elementary. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

The Lamia is one of the most sexual songs I've ever listened to, it symbolises a very sensual orgy. Look at this for a song opening: "The scent grows richer, he knows he must be near, He finds a long passageway lit by chandelier. Each step he takes, the perfumes change From familiar fragrance to flavors strange. A magnificent chamber meets his eye." Obviously performing oral on a female. 'Chamber,' 'passageway' and 'room' are all euphemisms. "Inside, a long rose-water pool is shrouded by fine mist. Stepping in the moist silence, with a warm breeze he's gently kissed." Obviously she's moist from Rael stepping it up and after a soft kiss he's ready to penetrate her "Thinking he is quite alone, He enters the room, as if it were his own," I think this means he's comfortable and is getting carried away "But ripples on the sweet pink water Reveal some company unthought of..." oh oh, more female company, Rael senses it via a tightening or increased moistness!!!! Hmm wonder if the song Ripples is a nod to this in the longing/wistful sense..

Yeah, Freudian slumbers shouldn't be taken too seriously. Often they're empty of sound.

It The Lamb Finishes with a track called It that seemingly declares sex as the be all and end all, the meaning of life. "When it's cold, it comes slow Just a little bit of it can bring you up or down The first two lines describe a penis' reaction to temperature. Though all this has been ascertained from the serendipity of realising an album title's trick name the salacious side of the band is explicitly obvious when you break Genesis down and get in their collective head. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

"Listen, you know I love you, but I just can't take this, You know I love you, but I'm playing for keeps, Although I need you, I'm not gonna make this, You know I want to, but I'm in too deep." Basically here Collins sings about a man who is making love to a woman he thinks is wanting to leave the relationship, he want's to ejaculate inside her but fears it could lead to pregnancy. The Genesis song Tonight, Tonight is also a cleverly disguised song and it covers the topic of addiction... ...sex addiction. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

Honest, most think it's a drug related song but it's definitely not. "I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it's alright Like a load on your back that you can't see, ooh but it's alright Try to shake it loose, cut it free, just let it go, get it away from me. Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh, I'm gonna make it right Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh." "We're gonna make it right Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh." No matter how much he masturbates, trying to shake that load loose, he can't quench his sexual urges, he hopes a visit to a lady of the night will abate his insatiable desires. Plenty of 'oh' and 'ooh's' thrown in for effect too. Collins also explored extreme perversion in his song Thru These Walls: "I can hear through these walls I can hear it when they're foolin' around My favorite moment putting the glass up next to the wall I can see through my windows Life is so lonely and I don't get high off just being me Oo I'm feeling like I'm locked in a cage no way in, no way out And I can hear through these walls Ah yeah ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

Nope, sex addiction, Genesis are very clever. Sometimes when they performed live they'd change the lyrics around or tell stories just to confirm our suspicions! "Ooh she's got a body under that shirt but the only thing she'll rub is my face in the dirt." The Way we walk live revision is slightly more obvious than the studio verse! ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

I am curious what you believe "keep them mowing blades sharp" means, though. Wait, wait wait--I got this... it means circumcise your multiple phalluses, right?

No, the line refers to sustaining an erection. Mowing blade! "Sunday night, mr farmer called, said: Listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for youIn the fire escape trade. come up to town! But I remebered a voice from the past; Gambling only pays when you're winning - I had to thank old miss mort for schooling a failure. Keep them mowing blades sharp... I know what I like, and I like what I know; Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show." Basically Mr Farmer calling at night is his erection popping up, Genesis often use 'night' as code word for time/need for sex. Farmer equals plough/fertilizer/grow etc. Loose terms for 'giving it to someone' etc. At this point he's thinking of anal "fire escape!" to improve his sex life but a controlling female or former conquest at some stage or his life has made him a bit of a limp dick, "gambling (on anal) only pays when you hard/winning" so anal might be off the menu. He knows he prefers anal and the reference to stepping one beyond your show is to step up to the next hole. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |
