The guitars are tuned in the same way on both tracks. At that time, we didn't want to make B-sides of them, we kept the original recording for this album, just with vocals redone and more overdubs. Brian Molko: "It's about destructive, violent relationships. After having written it, I realized that it might be a family relationship as well as a love one. A lot of songs - mostly country - talk about women beeing hit by their husbands.
On the contrary, in Pierrot the Clown , the target of the violence is a man. A vulnerable man, trapped in a violent and destructive relationship. The title of this track reflects my obsession with clowns and my passion for the circus. In high school, I even thought about getting into a school for clowns and become a Thomas Rabsch, Brian: Laughter But fortunately for everyone, I was accepted at university! When I was a kid, I would go to the circus.
It was a celebration, but a person, Pierrot, was always sad. I felt compassion for him. It's a powerful image for me, with which I wanted to express how you can feel alone in a couple, how much you can let yourself being beaten physically and mentally by someone.

But there was a tour to achieve, then we marched to the front lines, as if nothing had happened. I hoped it would heal the wounds: it bruised them. For two years on the road, I really felt alone. I had no choice but to continue - I know nothing else, it's my destiny, my only value With Stefan, we decided to get our band back, its spirit, the innocence it had when we were composing, in in a city housing We could no longer continue in this cynicism.
