Deskribapena:This study delves into the lyrics of three songs by the North American band Pixies. These lyrics explore the subject of sexuality, but they present a series of non-standard or traditionally unaccepted sexual practices related to sexual taboos, otherness, sexual objectification, sexual violence, and the body. Literary analysis is the approach used to examine the lyrics and the subjects explored by the band. Given that the central focus of the analysis is rock lyrics, which is a non-traditional subject of literary analysis, this study also addresses fundamental questions related to the nature of literature and literary expressions. In this sense, this article aims to demonstrate the value of rock lyrics as literary texts with a connection to poetry, both of which have music as the foundation of their form.
