that literal radio is just a jumping-off point for the fantabulous layers of the song, which to me sing about: Yes, in the FIRST stanza, 'twisted transistor' refers to a radio. In short, I enjoy this song as a layered sort of perfection in the various ways it's possible to interpret parts or as a whole.īut for starters it's clear to me that 'twisted transistor' is primarily the person/listener, not a radio She cries out to be anesthetized, degrading herself at the same time. But despite all of this loneliness, the narrator and the music makes her realize you have to fight back or, "the world will eat you if you let it." But for right now, turn to music to ease your suffering and it won't hurt anymore. It moves her emotionally, "reaching and inside you forever preaching." She shares in the anger of the music.the world has fucked her over, and she can say "Fuck you too." She can scream now in her silent, private, and personal rage, comforted by the fact that the music understands her pain. the image of this girl with a radio between her legs gives us her sense of desperation, intimately letting the music "in." She's at her breaking point, finally understanding what everyone gets eventually - the world sucks. When no one understands you, you have your music, your "radio/transistor" to turn to. The narrator is commenting on how dark, twisted music is alleviating the pain and loneliness that this girl and everyone in the world feels. And there is a dialogue between the girl and the narrator there isn't just one person speaking here.
