I think this is the best album they ever did and my favourite one - Doolittle But whatever it means it's an awesome song! Love The Pixies. I've been listening to the Pixies for a long time and this song is freaking awesome. I watched Zack and Miri make a Porno yesterday and this song is in the background of one of the scenes.

I thought the song made perfect sense in the context of this scene! I can now say that I might have an idea of what Hey means! Maybe not the best film but that scene is really good. I had to go and buy it on itunes then so i will never forget it soooooooooooooooooooooooo good!

If you go, I will surely die We're chained We're chained We're chained We're chained We're chained We're chained We're chained We're chained We're chained We're chained We're chained We're chained We're chained We're chained 'Uh' said the man to the lady 'Uh' said the lady to the man she adored And the whores like a choir Go 'uh' all night And Mary ain't you tired of this?

Hey song meanings. Add Your Thoughts Comments. General Comment general theme is sex. There was an error. Friend: facebook. General Comment I think the song is somewhat about the various sexual partners he has had, but even more about the woman he wants. There's whores all over his bed, but if she leaves his life, he will surely die.

It's about a woman he can't have, and he feels chained to her, even though he tries to fill the void with meaningless sexual escapades. The whores in the choir taunt him because he can't have the real thing he wants, because the woman and him can't be for some reason. Yeah, you basically nailed it.

General Comment I don't think this song is necessisarily about sex. The indications that sex is the main theme of this song is strong, but I think it is mainly about love gone wrong but still miserably alive. The opening line, "Hey, been trying to meet you" is like a plea to reconcile with this person, even though it might be like trying to be with someone who has drastically changed, almost like meeting a new person.

The whores aren't literally whores, they're more like ideas and preconceptions about love and relationships the speaker of the song has given into. Whores can be beautiful and alluring, but illogical and eventually devoid of truth, and they are the ideals the person in the song has clung to, and that person is realizing that it is damaging the realationship he is in.

Despite how illogical and harmful it is to be together with this person, he still wants to cultivate his adamant view of love with his lover; they are chained because they are avoiding the cold truth about their love. The second part is more about the sexual part of their realationship; the "whores like a choir", their ideals keeping their futile love alive.

The whole part about Mary might be a religious reference. The lovers in the song may view thier love as this immaculate and beautiful thing, like the way Jesus was made.

But the baby is aborted, and their love is something that never will be complete nor immaculate, there isn't any use for it to be alive. So the lovers are held together forever, they still love each other even though they'll never be together again. Despite how illogical and harmful it is to be together with this person, he still wants to cultivate his adamant view of love with his lover" yes.

My Interpretation I think the meaning of this song has been mostly fleshed-out over the course of the comments, but I wanted to add one thing. I've seen a lot of comments about the "Mary, ain't you tired of this? Mary Magdalene has been traditionally miscast a prostitute who, after meeting Jesus, reforms her ways and joins him as a disciple.

Now, put that in the context of this song: "Mary, ain't you tired of this? Aren't tired of being a whore? Change your ways and be with me. Despite calling the girls he sleeps with "whores" throughout the song, it is actually the speaker that is the whore! Pretty amazing that Black Francis has the lyrical ability to write a song comparing a man's love for a particular woman to Mary Magdalene's love for Jesus, all while filling it with sexual imagery, grunts, and one of the best guitar riffs and solos in history.
