Such a gorgeous song. To me, it's about being trapped in a lifestyle or addicted to a person that you know is bad for you, but you can't stop. "Fuck yeah, give it to me. This is heaven, what I truly want".... to me, this doesn't seem sarcastic. It seems like an admission-- what she SHOULD want, and perhaps presents to other people, is a healthy, functional relationship in a land of normalcy. What she really wants is intensity, Gods and Monsters, alcohol and this guy who doesn't treat her right. |

| The Dresden Dolls – Delilah Lyrics | 10 years ago |

"you're an unrescuable schizo/or else you're on the rag" This doesn't have to be literal. I think it's just an intense way of saying Delilah probably says all the time that she's leaving him, and she's done with this guy who treats her like shit, and then she goes back to him. She's probably all over the place emotionally, she's acting crazy. It doesn't have to mean she is literally mentally ill. I've recently come to realize I am a Delilah ( :/ ) in my current relationship/ex relationship type thing, and I my roommate absolutely HATES the guy because of how he treats me. My roommates name is Amanda, and I swear to God, we've had this conversation a million times: "At the same bar, where you slammed down your hand and said "Amanda, I'm in love" No, you're not, you're just a sucker for the ones who use you and it doesn't matter what I say or do The stupid bastard's gonna have his way with you" It's chilling, honestly. Seeing the other side of a bad relationship. Also, regarding literally terms, "He's gonna beat you like a pillow", may very well be a metaphor, he is beating Delilah down emotionally with the way he is treating her. "And if you take him home-- you get what you deserve." Damn. What an intense song. |
