The song literally called “sex (adult action) & candy (child product/classic predatorily lure “stranger w candy”)
Ok so right off the bat the song sits uneasy, surely the connection and symbolism would end there as one small coincidence?
Wrong. How does the song begin?
Before any music starts you hear the sound of children laughing and playing on a playground, followed by the opening line.
“Hanging round. Downtown by myself. So much time. To sit and think about myself (sociopath) then there “she” was. (Who is “she” did she happen to be one of the laughing children on the playground?)
Like “double cherry pie” (pure virgin/untouched totally)
Like “disco super fly”
I smell “sex” and “candy”
Who’s that lounging in my chair (throne/old man sitting in a chair)
Who’s that casting “devious stares” (how a child might look up to an adult not knowing the full nature of their reality/sexuality)
Sex and candy...C'mon.
Song and video packed full of symbolism.

Yeah momma this surely is a “dream”
Even when I was younger that song made me feel uneasy af.
The whole concept is literally to make you feel uneasy that’s the “artistic” angle.
But as we know in the entertainment/music/Hollywood industry
LIFE imitates their ART.
Now go watch the video, dismembered head (body “parts” doll “parts” dismemberment/trafficking)
The black and white checkerboard floors which are all warped and causes a sense of vertigo.
And the band's name? Marcy Playground. They've got a lot of interesting song and album titles that follow this trend.
Yup should have mentioned that. Sort of ties the whole theory together. Thanks for additional info from this one hit wonder!
