Meat

"Meat" is a song by Poppy from her second extended play Choke. It is the fourth track on the EP.

Background
On June 27th, 2019, Poppy tweeted snippets of every song on Choke to promote the EP.

Theme
In an interview with Gigwise, Poppy explained that "Meat" is not about her own veganism; rather, it is "about the world's consumption and how dangerous the path the world as a whole is on, not respecting the earth and not asking enough questions". She later said: "I don't believe we're the only species here. I think there are higher powers and aliens and I do think they are walking among us." The song exhibits thematic similarities with "Time Is Up" from Am I a Girl?, as both songs describe a dystopian future caused by humans.

Trivia

 * The song's verses are spoken by Titanic Sinclair.
 * In an interview with Gigwise, Poppy revealed that the Choke EP was originally going to be named after this song. However, she later decided against it and chose to name it after the title track instead.
