A talent hits a target everyone can hit, a genius hits a target no one else can see.

I relistened to the whole Fight Like A Girl after watching AHS Season 2. :)

Reminds me of Repo! The Genetic Opera...

Lydia Ginley

I'm disappointed she doesn't make reference to Burke and Hare in this song!

This was, in fact an issue right up until the 1940's in the states, if you can believe it. In the UK as well. I wouldn't put other western cultures out of the game, either. {Say, Nazi Germany... But with them, it wasn't illegal.} But the idea of mad scientists did actually have roots with individuals {mostly women} that disappeared because of the black market for illegal cadavers.

This song really gave me the creeps.

This is cool.... I've heard Grave Robber at Large by Creature Feature, which is upbeat, fun and kind of silly, but this is dark and delicious... I love it. :)

Love the undertones of this song. The literal overtone is about the medical field paying people to steal body parts (obviously, though the undertone is exposed the farther you get), but it's more obvious when you put everything in the perspective of a sexual abuser and take it more figuratively as him taking what he needs piece by piece from his victim. A lot of her songs have this undertone because of her past, but god it's so harsh in this one.Just imagine being a little girl with the scavenger as your dad.The door you shouldn't lock is the door to your room. The street you shouldn't walk is the way you act / the path of your attitude. The stone and family are symbolic of people knowing something is wrong but not doing the most they can to stop it; he's always there, patiently waiting (often more excited due to the wait and "anticipation") until you're alone again.The diamonds are your innocence and self-love. Your kisses are the love you would have given to someone else. The supply and demand is women; when he has no woman to put out, he always has a little extra stock back at home. Saying it's not personal is a way to make the scavenger's actions seem normal and not worth being concerned about.You're just "trash" that "another man" would never treat right, so he scavenges after you - takes what he needs while you're under his wing. The "cash" is the worth you would be to "another man"; the reason why the scavenger gets to use that other man's cash is because he's keeping you from anyone else, holding that worth for himself. The blatant reference to human trafficking can be applied here as well. Children are trafficked all the time, often under the guise of prostitution or adoption. The sexual abuse in these situations are usually the sole reason they're being trafficked.And so on and so forth. Overall, it's another great EA song with an interesting meaning.

I really need to get that book.

Am I the only one reminded of the killers Burke and Hare? They started out grave robbing, and then moved onto "fresher corpses"

Emily Autumn Fritzges (Born 09/22/77)She is the 2nd oldest of 5 children (all of which are still alive). Her mother is world renowned costumer Janice Longmire (still alive as well), who dropped “Fritzges” after a separation from Wolfgang Fritzges, her estranged husband and father of all 5 children, and returned to her birth name “Longmire”. Wolfgang passed away after a brief yet fatal battle with lung cancer in the fall of 2004. EA, who had simply gone by “Autumn” her entire life before taking on her current persona, was the only member of the family who had refused all communication with her father throughout his illness, and did not attend his service. “Liddell” was the married name of EA’s maternal grandmother, who had little to no contact with the family throughout the children’s upbringing. Being that Liddell was actually the step father of Janice Longmire, there is no biological connection between Liddell and EA whatsoever. As for the connection to Alice Liddell, there’s absolutely zero proof, and this was never something that was claimed, promoted, or encouraged within the family. EA’s decision to change her name is strictly cosmetic, and for promotional purposes, as is much of what she claims to be her past. She grew up in the loving environment of a lower-middle class Southern California family. Aside from the separation of her parents, which was handled peacefully and without putting any tension on the children, she experienced a positive upbringing with absolutely zero underlying mental conditions or elements of alienation. EA chose to be home schooled which allowed her to devote nearly all her time to practicing violin and music composition. This was a desire and commitment that was met with no opposition by any members of her family. After repeated attempts to secure recording contracts in Los Angeles throughout her late teens, all ending in failure, EA left her family for a 2 week trip to Chicago in hopes of establishing a deal. This would be the last time her family saw her. Like a child running away from home, EA soon cut off all communication to her family, only reconnecting when in need of money or favor. Her mother, who had already designed and produced all of EA’s original theatrical outfits (pre-fairy wings) was asked to make several more pieces and send them back East. Upon completion of the costumes, all ties were cut and EA began experimenting with vocals, face-painting, falsifying her past, and branding herself as an emotionally and mentally damaged orphan with fictitious accounts of abuse. The singular truth is that EA is a fictional character, with fictional interests, fictional illnesses, and a fictional past. The hordes of fans and followers who’ve spent a great amount of their time idolizing her and researching her past have ultimately done so in vein, to her own amusement, at their expense. It’s an intentionally and maticulously manufactured facade, created to engage a niche market of subculture, after she was unable to secure success in her previous attempts at the world’s larger audience. As weak-minded people observe her stage and social performance as genuine, there exists an underlying insincerity that only manifests from something so forced. Her fans identify with her as an act of fantasy, now turning her self-manufactured success into legitimate success. This is the type of person who updates their own Wikipedia…

Repo! The Genetic Opera. Oficial Trailer. I'm pretty shur this is it. It's only the trailer. It's called : Repo! The Genetic Opera

Frankie Samaniego

Minds me of a movie I watched, it was about body parts being sold for plastic surgery these body parts could then be repossessed.... meaning keep your money straight or die. this song is exactly what the movie is about. I can't remember what it was called, I think it's was gothic opera or something like that.

This song gives me chills. I love it.

My kingdom for a Repo! sequel with Emilie as a graverobber who sings this song...

La Folia

@Megan Tvenstrup the whole album takes its themes from Emilie's book The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls. I do not KNOW what these lyrics mean but how i see this song is that the Scavenger goes and indeed robs graves for body parts for experiments but also takes children from their cradles to be used later on.. If that makes any sense. And again this is just me thinking.

Megan Tvenstrup

So what, exactly, do the lyrics mean? She 'resurects' dead bodies to harvest their organs, and she steals parts from 'the cradle' for the hospital?

Barely any dislikes! :D
