Well, I do not subscribe to the backmasking interpretation that is provided here. Many artists did/do use backmasking and some have openly used it for comedic of defiance effect (Styx, Pink Floyd, Electric Light Orchestra...). Those cases are well documented. But the general problem with backmasking is that unless it is very obvious, the evidence is usually pretty weak. I can come up with 3 or 4 different backward lyrics that would fit ML better than what has been provided here.
Despite this, it is obvious that LB work is laced with symbolism, occult and recurrent mind control references. His influence is what made MF and Alizée’s career. MF and Alizée have basically been LB’s puppets, but the fact is that most people don’t really want to know about that sort of stuff. When people become fans of popular icons they typically want simple, out of the box images, they don’t want complex multifaceted concepts with people pulling strings behind the scene... They don’t want to see the man behind the curtain.
