I was going to create a separate thread for this, but I would get killed even more. I also want to profess that I'm not trying to be funny or controversial, and nor do I think rape is funny or amusing at all.... but Lock All the Doors is all about rape.
The entire lyrical content. I know Noel didn't mean it, but it's all there. Sorry, just a stark observation.  |

Beady’s Here Now i must be a bit slow please explain how this song is about rape?? I kinda understood... Noel describes a girl and says they should go somewhere else and that they'll probably never see each other... You can interpret it in a 1000 ways, one of them being rape. I prefer Beady's Mighty Eye explanation of how BOTMI is about the reunion. |

First off, BOTMI is most cerainly about finding/saving Liam and reuniting the band. So moving on.... She wore a star-shaped tambourine
The prettiest girl I had ever seen
Was standing lost and lonely on the shore
^Noel sees this attractive bird. And is watching her from afar. I try to catch her every night
Dancing on her own in the candlelight
But I can't seem to reach her anymore^Noel is stalking this bird (like I do with caro) but is having trouble grabbing her and make her his. Lock all the doors!
Maybe they'll never find us
I can be sure, like never before, this time^Noel finally grabs the bird. He locks the door so she can't get out, or anyone else in. And this time Noel thinks he will relive his dirty fantasy in full with her. Get down on the floor!
Turn all the lights off inside
I can be sure, like never before, this time
You know it's mine^Now he demands her to "Get down on the floor!", and with all the lights off not only can no one see, but it's quite clear what Noel has in store, especially because now he wants to make "it" his, as he continues to be quite possessive with the bird that he has now enslaved. She never hears me when I speak
I gotta find out where the magic sleeps
And I can feel you underneath my skin^The bird refuses to obey Noel, and Noel needs to find more dirty "magic" about this bird, as she remains underneath him. And if we take our love inside
Cause I don't wanna sail on the ocean wide
Cause we might never live to meet again^Would be more of a one night stand if ignoring everything that's already happened. But it's not, it's more sinister. This is no relationship, this is Noel showing that once he scars the bird for life, he will cast her aside as he lurks for his next victim. Shoddy, Noel. I expected better. And what would Sara think!? In all seriousness, Romeo and Juliet this is not. |

Do you honestly believe that Noel actually set out to write a song about raping somebody? |

Next album will have a tune about a man fucking a goat. You just wait. |

i'm probably in the minority but the demo to me is too slow, the hfb's version has more attack and urgency. i also prefer the reworking of the lyrics on the proper album version. and the howling guitar at the beginning, although a little subtle and low in the mix, is a nice little nod to what once was.  |

I like both, but you can't really compare an amateurish demo of bad quality to a properly produced album track of 23 years later, can you?

A little of both worlds... Apologies for the shameless plugging. |
