Parents need to know that Bell X1 comes across as sweetly and emotionally revealing, while delighting in the occasional "arse" and "s--t" exclamation -- as well as a cynical take on Christianity. Many families will find the brilliant production and intelligent lyrics well worth it, but those who take their religion very seriously may object.
Positive messages:Complex messages that use visceral images and cynical religious references to make serious points about self-knowledge and relationships.
Violence:Some violent images as metaphors: "I've got your blood under my fingernails," and "this is the kind of love that maims us and I won't be happy 'til someone loses an eye"; occasional passing mention of nooses.
Sex:Some innuendo ("cute whores on every corner...putting out" and "your flesh it melts in my mouth") but nothing really explicit.
