"[The Dresden Dolls] electrify audiences with their lusty
sets, merging the playful eroticism of Weimar-era German
cabaret with the intensity of modern rock opera. To call
their performances provocative would be an understatement.

    Review about The Dresden Dolls

    the lyrics for the kill by dresden dolls | Reviewer: Alan
        ------ About the song The Kill performed by The Dresden Dolls

    ok i just want to say i have listened to the song many time and the part right here....I have a tendency
    To exaggerate
    Just a little bit
    I am a plagiarist
    Apologist
    A lawless calculator
    Ah oh
    I am an optimist
    A closeted misogynist
    I fought the British and I won
    I have a wishing well
    A living will
    A magical eight ball
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh


    is wrong its not A lawless calculator the real thing she says there is a walrus cokehead lizard so that needs to be changed but other then that they are perfect!


    Anthem for the Broken-Hearted Female | Reviewer: Angelique
        ------ About the song The Jeep Song performed by The Dresden Dolls

    For "Paint it Black," I don't think she was inspired by the Rolling Stones song but, since she saw all of the black trucks, she wanted the red ones to be black, too, so it could be a possibility of him driving by.
    This song is, basically, my theme song.


    Half Jack | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Half Jack performed by The Dresden Dolls

    Guys... why can't it be about both? Why can't she be talking about both the father aspect and the gender aspect in the same song with the same words? I think that's what this is. And really, it's not about what I think it's about what YOU think.


    I Get All My Bad Habits From Watching You | Reviewer: L
        ------ About the song Bad Habit performed by The Dresden Dolls

    Well, let's try and ignore the fact that I've just used lyrics from a different song as my title (I've been listening to that particular song for a couple of days and it seems to fit at the moment), and go into my comment =].

    I'm 17, just to let you all know. It really doesn't matter, but hey - age seems to be a big factor in most of the comments written. Oh - and to that 11 year old grammar freak ... I think I'm in love. Not in the creepy pedophilia way, just ... well, I'm a grammar freak too! I get so annoyed when people write comments and insult people all the while making themselves look like complete idiots because they suck at grammar. So kudos to you ^_^.

    And this song ... It may not be about cutting, but people who have experienced it are going to interpret it that way, and people who bite the skin around their nails will interpret it in relation to that. Art is all about interpretation ^_^. I myself relate it to self mutilation (I'm not 'emo' at all, just to let you know ... and I was also 11 when I started that too, so really age has nothing to do with it - everyone has their reasons ... although I couldn't really find a reason -__-. To this day I'm not sure what it was that made me wake up some days and just be completely down and disconnected. I'd like to point out that I'm 7 months 'clean' though!) ... geez, long bracket. I apologise. I like the 'anonymous' factor of this commenting thing ^_^.

    I've always love the Amanda's lyrics, and this song is no exception =].


    Never thought of it as a divorce song | Reviewer: Grachel
        ------ About the song Truce performed by The Dresden Dolls

    I always saw it as a break up song between friends. How some people return things they gave to each other after an ending relationship the parts of the world could symbolize CDs or dining plates.
    To the part of "split between parents" at a certain time in most relationships when they get serious the parents are met and not all women hate their step mother's. Like everyone else I was a divorce kid but I didn't immediately see that in this song.


    dude... | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Half Jack performed by The Dresden Dolls

    this songs cool. if jack is her father, then jill must be her mom. but jack might not be someone she wants around. she might not want that half of her so she does what she can to get it out. but, this song could also mean two personalities. eh. i just listen to it cause amanda's voice is cool sounding.


    same emoteen time, same emoteen place | Reviewer: i am emoteen, hear me roar
        ------ About the song Bad Habit performed by The Dresden Dolls


    SOME RANDOM SNOB SAID:

    "as for that eleven year old, you're just plain emo! and don't express your love for a royal class music such as this if you don't even understand it. i suppose with you're brain capacity i should put it this way, shut the hell up!"

    Lovely. I am sorry that we cannot all be as "royal class" as you are you little *insertbadwordhere* . Way to go, insult the "emo" eleven-year-olds brain capacity, with people like you why does anyone even bother offer their opinion?
    If you fail to realize how a preteen could have such good taste I wonder what kind of eleven-year-old you were? Still in diapers and watching barney, perhaps?

    *being a grammar nerd i cannot help but notice your misuse of the word "you're", being the 'o incredibly smart and royal class person that you are.*


    a hormone-fueled rant on all you snobby old people | Reviewer: i am emoteen, hear me roar
        ------ About the song Bad Habit performed by The Dresden Dolls

    Just reading the reviews...personally I love this song, but being 13 I guess that it is too COMPLICATED for me to understand, way over my head.

    I started listening to the Dresden Dolls when I was 11, if you have problems with preteens listening to something that is not the popular crap off the radio then you obviously think that everyone was just as stupid a teenager as you were. Hey, maybe you wouldn't of understood this song as an 11 year old and maybe some other 11 year olds DO understand it, (isnt that an amazing idea!) you don't have to be so snobby about it.

    I bet you are the same people that think Coin Operated Boy is about a sex toy and think that it is WAY too mature a topic for 11 year olds.
    Lots of people misunderstand this song, no matter how old they are.

    Let the young un's have their crappy pop music...

    *just letting my emo teen spirit out on yall...run and hide, everyone! its the emooooooooooooooooooteeeeeeeeeen*


    yeah | Reviewer: mackinack
        ------ About the song Missed Me performed by The Dresden Dolls

    man. i love this song because it's so creep, and i love creep. i draw creep, i write creep, and i choreograph creep. i love creep! and i love the content as well, obviously. i know i have been into "misters" and it's wrong and it's dirty but you love it.
    like you love this song.


    I think too much-scratch that, not enough | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Truce performed by The Dresden Dolls

    Doesn't it sound like the "Amanda, You're telling me a fairy tale" bit at the end is from an old video or something? Like of someone saying that to her when she was young. That's what I always thought.


    Clever | Reviewer: Aspen
        ------ About the song Dirty Business performed by The Dresden Dolls

    I absolutely love this song. Like all of their other songs, it was very clever and original. I especially enjoy how they use intelligent words in their songs like masticate and socialist in Night Reconnaisance.


    Sex Changes | Reviewer: Willie
        ------ About the song Sex Changes performed by The Dresden Dolls

    I first heard The Dresden Dolls with their song - Coin Operated Boy, but since hearing it i've delved deeper, their 'weird' or 'freaky' themes for their songs, their expression, very much understanding with similiar features as my life. this song in particular, expresses so much in the lyrics it's unbelievable. great song


    My life. | Reviewer: -Me
        ------ About the song The Jeep Song performed by The Dresden Dolls

    This is basically my life. I'm a car geek. I'm that guy you know who can name cars and rattle of a spec sheet when they see one. So every ex, every lost friend, every fucked up story I tell when we're drunk is translated into a car.

    How do you get away from your own life if you see it following you?


    .... | Reviewer: Skye~
        ------ About the song Half Jack performed by The Dresden Dolls

    How do you know that...? :\

    This song CAN relate to a lot of people - depending on how you look at it.

    It's not that it doesn't have a meaning, it just has MULTIPLE meanings. I highly doubt Amanda wrote this song for no reason...;\...


    oi..erm. | Reviewer: kateh
        ------ About the song Half Jack performed by The Dresden Dolls

    just in case nobody realised. her dad's name is jack.
    not that that necessarily means anything related to this song
    but it fits in with your stupid pointless theories.
    god dammit cant you just listen to it?
    its MEANT to not have a meaning
    makes it easier to relate to if everyone can.


    Hmm... | Reviewer: Blah
        ------ About the song Truce performed by The Dresden Dolls

    Interesting song. Although, speaking as a divorce kid (I smell a new phrase in the mix!), I didn't really feel like it was emotional in the "parents splitting up" sort of sense...in fact, I would have never guessed that her parents had been divorced if I didn't already know it. Then again, I've always looked at my parents divorce as a positive thing...sure, at the time, it was devastating, but seeing all the destruction they had caused to me, my brother, and their selves while they were together makes me rather happy that they split.

    I love the Dresden Dolls. I love how each song has a mix of both innocence and chaos, and this song is a perfect example of that.


    Half Jack. | Reviewer: kurea
        ------ About the song Half Jack performed by The Dresden Dolls

    I don't see the entire thing about it being about her father.

    It just seems so obviously about either being transgendered or a hermaphrodite. Pills are hormones, corrective surgery and reference to biology are quite obvious. There are even references to stitches and destroying her body to get the jack part out. It just seems that she wants to get rid of that part of her body, no matter what.

    The whole 'half my mother's daughter' just seems to me that the opposite is half her father's son. And "I see my mother in my face
    but only when i travel" could just be about femininity, and when she travels no one is aware that she may have once been a different gender. The jack comes tumbling after part could be about her past catching up with her.

    The one thing that clinched it for me was "on 83rd he never found the magic words to change this fact:" As there is a sex change clinic on 83rd street in New York.


    I relate more that I'd like to | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Truce performed by The Dresden Dolls

    That's why I love this song and half jack. My parents divorced when I was five... and lately my father has become quite cruel. I want to tear the Je- Jack part out of me...

    But yeah... amazing song. Astonishing...


    I'm Clueless | Reviewer: karenkurtkatedresdenclouddec
        ------ About the song Dirty Business performed by The Dresden Dolls

    I love this song so much!
    I love Amanda so much!
    Me and my band are covering this, i'm excited!

    Anyways, I honestly DON'T get the line "To all the girls at pearl the surly boys who get to masticate them"


    Halfjack | Reviewer: Liz
        ------ About the song Half Jack performed by The Dresden Dolls

    I've read a lot of reviews of this song. I think all the interpretations are plausible. Maybe Amanda and Brian meant it that way. People tend to see their own situations in music. For me, I saw a bad father-daughter relationship because that is what I am familiar with. I can see how it might mean different things to different people, but it's up to individuals to find their personal connection in the lyrics.
