| Ingrid Michaelson – So Long Lyrics | 11 years ago |

I think it's about an emotionally abusive relationship. He's emotionally abused her to the point where she shouldn't hold a loaded gun, either because people in that situation have trouble controlling their anger or because they can experience suicidal thoughts. He's sitting on her chest, keeping her from breathing properly, essentially controlling her life and taking away her best. Then he impales her with his tongue, which sounds like verbal abuse. Then she looks the same to the naked eye, but inside she's sliced into pieces because he's torn her down and broken her. In the chorus, "So long to no disasters" seems to mean she will never NOT be a disaster. From her perspective, her life is always going to be a disaster, a mess, because her self esteem has been shot and she has major trust and intimacy issues. "So long to ever afters" is her saying she won't have a happy ever after, all of her dreams of the perfect romance and life have been shattered. "And mornings too" could be a reference to new beginnings, starting fresh, and how she won't have that chance anymore because of how much he's affected her with his abuse. Then again it could also be the light thing sagehayley said. Anyway, that's just my take on the song, but it really does sound exactly like the way an emotionally abused person feels. |
