song interpretation, abuse, The Cure
For years I thought Lullaby was about childhood sexual abuse. Turns out it’s literally about a child-eating spider-man Smith’s uncle told stories about.
This is a little like how I was sure The Hanging Garden was about shamanism and environmental destruction, and Smith intended it to be about animals fucking.

@Leucrotta ... I'd always assumed "Kyoto Song" was about drugs, but now I'm thinking it's probably about, like, a really good coffee or something. 9___9
