Yuuri 21,636 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Well she really wanted to name it Techno Messy Lover, after her friend Lady Starlight. Her lable made her switch it to something more steampunk and thus Heavy Metal Lover was Born That Way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elijahfan 26,155 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 To me, it is mainly about her life on the Lower East Side, hence those multiple references: "Dirty Pearls", the name of one of the bands that was part of the LES scene with her - "Rivington rebels", as in Rivington Street, which is the location of the bar she used to hang out at - and the "Heavy Metal Lover" himself most deifnitely is Lüc Carl, bartender at said bar and subject of half her discography.

OriginalMonster 80 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I think it is about her relationship with Lüc and also their group of friends and life on the Lower East Side. It talks about the good parts of their relationship, like the attraction and sex ("I want your whiskey mouth all over my blonde south," "Dirty pony I can't wait to hose you down") but also the bad parts, like how he told her she'd never be famous and had such a problem with the money and power she gained it led, at least in part, to their breakup ("I could be your girl, but would you love me if I ruled the world?"). It also paints a picture of her life hanging out and drinking with her friends, the "Rivington Rebels," at St. Jerome's and in the streets of New York ("Dirty pearls and a patch for all the Rivington Rebels, let's raise hell in the streets, drink beer and get into trouble," the whole third verse (the "Whip me, slap me, punk funk, York clubbers, bump drunk, ..." one), as well as "Tonight bring all your friends because a group does it better, why river with a pair? Let's have a full house of leather?", which I think actually relates more to the group of friends hanging out and is just presented as a sexual metaphor for the sake of the song). It also alludes to the somewhat gritty and tough nature of the LES, or perhaps this group of friends, at the time ("You have to earn your leather in this part of town"). It also has some great poker metaphors ("Why river with a pair? Let's have a full house of leather") and is just generally really clever (like "dirty pearls and a patch for all the Rivington Rebels," when some of her friends were in the band The Dirty Pearls). Also, the "Whip me, slap me, punk funk, New York clubbers, bump drunk, Bud Lite, liquors, bar slam, move it, this is our jam, wash the night with St. Jameson like a baptism, heavy metal lovers play, baby we were born this way" is one of my favorite things she's ever written. I feel such a wonderful sense of camaraderie and passion from it. Even if it's not entirely logical, or perhaps even because of this, I feel like it captures the experience so perfectly I can feel what it was like to live it. The title itself I think is a bit of a play on words. Lüc was a "heavy metal lover" (loved heavy metal music), and he was her lover, so she's calling him her "heavy metal" lover.
