Insiang is a song about sexual abuse. The film of the same name tells the story of Insiang, a lass in the slums whose mother brutalizes her and refuses to believe her when she tells her that her mother's younger boyfriend is sexually abusing her. She gets her revenge when she turns the tables and seduces her mother's boyfriend which makes her mother murderous and sends the old woman to jail. In the end of the movie, Insiang visits her mother in jail and tells her she did all this because she loves her. Her mother just turns her back and walks away.
lyrics
lover, you're late
breaking
turns to hate
taking
everything from me
including
purity
all the things that i can give
the truest one
the only sound i can hear from your mouth
is a purple kiss
tell me what i missed
the blackened fist
is a purple kiss
tell me what i missed
is a purple kiss
tell me what i missed
what's his name
a given
what's in his stare
scaring me
every fiber of my being
the only sound i can hear from your mouth
is a purple kiss
tell me what i missed
the blackened fist
fingers
stranded
if i can't have you
i'll have him
the only one to make me
come here
said his voice
breath on my ribcage
sending me reeling
is a purple kiss
tell me what i missed
