    Genesis’ Carpet Crawlers (lyrics) wants a word.

    One of the most graphically sexual songs I’ve ever heard. The only other contender is literally about pet play.

    Edit: the Carpet Crawlers are literally sperm. People never believe me until I start breaking it down, and then they’re like, “holy fuck, how did they get away with this?”

      considering peter gabriel’s other stuff idk if that’s the correct interpretation.

        Considering the previous song on the album was painfully obviously about sex, and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is a rock opera…

          i mean it may tie in, but it doesn’t fit with the track after if it just continues the metaphor.
