“One hand will wash the other…” An all-time favorite song of mine. While researching it on Wikipedia, I learned that “it was reviewed on Beavis and Butt-Head in a positive manner.” The music video should be watched in conversation with (and lowkey have the same cultural relevance) as the video for “Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden. They caricaturize suburbia in this specific, surreal, hyper-saturated way. Very evil and cool! Both videos dropped the same year, and while I can’t find the exact date, “Savory” may have even come first.
Post-hardcore = best music ever. This track is formative for me in taste, sensibility, everything. This song is also a go-to karaoke pick (if you’re at the kind of place that lets you search it on YouTube). Let me just mic drop with these lyrics real quick:
Hey angel, consider your position
Framed to be consumed
Savory
Savoring your sympathy
Hey angel, fly over and bless me
See you feign surprise
That I'm all eyes
And you're all you need to be
Hey angel, whatever position
We consider fit
To put you in
You'll protest your complicity
Easy now
One hand will wash the other
One hand will wash the other
