| The Antlers – I Don't Want Love Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Such a beautiful song... It could surely be about a relationship that one person wishes to keep on a sexual level only, as suggested above, but... I also wonder if it could be about a person struggling between sexual attraction and falling for someone. The person is so caught up in keeping things meaningless because it's easier than actually that falling for someone. I feel that is suggested when he says "But I let you inside" and "I should have built better walls." Truly, to hook up one doesn't have to let someone in or let down walls, and since he mentions it here, it makes me think he is struggling to find his personal balance between sex and actually letting someone crawl inside his heart and mean something in his life. I actually envision a defiant person fighting to not fall for someone, and a little sour about actually having feelings and what that really would mean to him or her because the person is afraid to let go. I look at the song as told from this newly defiant perspective, because if he doesn't want something out of the experience with the person he is with, he wouldn't have to go and sing about it. Along the lines of "You're So Vain". :D |
