PLUMP by Hole The trick here is that funky upstroke/downstroke strumming pattern which is probably the only difficult part to playing this song. The upstroke/downstroke is on an F#m barre chord and the trick is to alternate between lifting your index finger off and then placing it back on the fret (listen to the song for timing). Other than that it’s all fairly simple chords. It sounds like Courtney Love is probably playing an open A chord on that main riff while Eric Erlandson’s playing a barre chord. Note that during the bridge (the "do you fake it for me" part) there is one guitar quietly strumming the chords and another one playing arpeggios. Intro: He shakes his dead rattle Spittle on his bib And I don’t do the dishes I throw them in the crib I’m eating you I’m overfed Your milk’s in my mouth It makes me sick And I’ve stumbled here Failed to make it mine They say I’m plump But I throw up all the time I’m eating you I’m overfed Your milk’s in my mouth It makes me sick Do you fake it For me like I... Do you fake it For me like I... Do you fake it For me like I... My baby’s in her arms Crawlin’ up her legs Like a liar at a witch trial You look good for age I’m eating you I’m overfed Your milk’s in my mouth It makes me sick

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une lutte intérieure intense, où le protagoniste se sent écrasé par des attentes et des pressions. On y exprime une sensation de dégoût, mêlée à des réflexions sur sa propre image et la façon dont les autres le perçoivent. Les métaphores autour de l'alimentation et du dégoût soulignent un malaise psychologique, un besoin d'authenticité dans un monde souvent trompeur. Le ton est brut et sans fard, avec des images qui renvoient à des douleurs émotionnelles et à des relations compliquées. Cela reflète un contexte de désillusion, où la question de la vérité face à l'illusion devient centrale. Les références à la maternité et aux attentes sociales ajoutent une dimension supplémentaire, mettant en lumière un combat pour l'acceptation de soi.
