| Twin Shadow – I Don't Care Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
One of the most visceral relationship songs I have ever heard. A promiscuous past is something no one really wants to ponder. That bathroom stall line actually made me cringe on first listen. |

| For added hilarity imagine the protagonist as Humbert Humbert after his wife's been hit by a car. | |
| The Smiths – I Know It's Over Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song reminds me of unrequited love. A guy who's in love with a girl who has friend zoned him, and the girl he was in love with is going to marry another guy. "Sad veiled bride, please be happy handsome groom, give her room" The marriage suggestion, though it doesn't have to be taken literally, the bride/groom reference could just be a poetic way of saying she's found someone else. "loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly" "it takes strength to be gentle and kind" It's common for a nice guy to be turned down for a more outgoing, brash, confident guy. "although she needs you more than she loves you" I think this isn't so much aimed at the "loud, loutish lover", but the protagonist talking about his experience. The girl needed him as a friend, as a shoulder to cry on, someone for attention, for her to feel attractive and wanted, but in the end she needed that from the protagonist more than she loved him. "and it never really began but in my heart it was so real" It never really began because it was never a relationship, their love was only on his behalf. "I know it's over still I cling" He know's it's over, but he still clings to the hope that she'll split up with her "groom", realise what a great guy the protagonist is, and they'll live happily ever after. "while they are in each other's arms" This lyric kills me. So sad. |
