Harder Faster

W.A.S.P.'s song 'Harder Faster' is a vivid and unapologetic exploration of raw, unrestrained desire. The lyrics are filled with intense imagery and metaphors that convey a sense of urgency and primal need. The song's protagonist is depicted as someone who is willing to go to extreme lengths to satisfy their cravings, even if it means enduring pain or danger. This is evident in lines like 'Tie me down spread-eagle / Leave me dyin' in the sun' and 'I scream bloody murder / When you writhe and when you squeeze.' The use of animalistic language, such as 'track me down / Like an animal that's on the run,' further emphasizes the primal nature of these desires.

The chorus, with its repeated calls for 'Harder faster,' underscores the insatiable and relentless pursuit of pleasure. The lyrics 'Lick it hard, lap it up, do it now baby, touch it, touch it / Lick your lips and flash your paws / Suck me suck me eat me raw' are explicit and direct, leaving little to the imagination. This rawness is a hallmark of W.A.S.P.'s style, known for its provocative and often controversial themes. The band's heavy metal sound complements the intensity of the lyrics, creating a powerful and immersive experience for the listener.

The song also touches on themes of rebellion and defiance. The line 'I don't care if it's wrong' suggests a disregard for societal norms and expectations, embracing a hedonistic lifestyle without shame. This attitude is further reinforced by the closing lines, 'Listen to your woman here / She say she don't want none of this slow down crap,' which reject any notion of restraint or moderation. 'Harder Faster' is a celebration of living in the moment and indulging in one's deepest desires, no matter the consequences.
