Well, folks, buckle up because Poppy's taking us on a wild ride through the paradoxical terrain of human nature. "X" is an audacious mix of saccharine pop and heavy metal that encapsulates the dichotomy between love and violence. The lyrics oscillate between the desire to "love everyone" and "empty every bullet out of every gun," and a darker urge for bloodshed. This juxtaposition seems to reflect our societal struggle with peace versus conflict. The repeated pleas to be made 'bloody' could symbolize a call for authenticity in a world often shrouded in pretense. Meanwhile, the invocation of 'naughtiness' might be a nod towards humanity's inherent imperfections. So, in this sonic rollercoaster, Poppy implores us to confront our own contradictions - because isn't that what being human is all about?
