Utopia, by Goldfrapp
Utopia
It’s a strange day
No colours or shapes
No sound in my head
I forget who I am
When I’m with you
There’s no reason
There’s no sense
I’m not supposed to feel
I forget who I am
I forget
Fascist baby
Utopia, utopia
My dog needs new ears
Make his eyes see forever
Make him live like me
Again and again
I’m wired to the world
That’s how I know everything
I’m super brain
That’s how they made me
I’m not a native speaker of English and have always wondered about the meaning of “fascist baby”… Maybe somebody can help me out? Is it an address to the lover? Why ‘fascist’ - if ‘baby’? Thx in advance
Jules, did you get the answer to your question?
I have the same doubt.
My personal view, it is indeed being addressed to the character’s lover, and by calling them “fascist baby” it refers to the addictive and often prescriptive nature of love/enfatuation.
Love has charisma, and strong charisma can be perceived as fascism when those around have an unhealthy level of admiration.
