The World We Love So Much

Rivers Cuomo

Come and walk with me
Through the world we love so much
And we'll kill all the beautiful things
We're not allowed to touch
We could fall in love
Then hate 'cause love never lasts
And we'll dance on the graves of our enemies
Won't that be a blast?

But oh, I'm ending my life with you
'Cause you're sharp as a knife
We're lost in the forest like Hansel and Gretel
To burn

Come walk with me
Through the world we love so much
And we'll kill all the beautiful things
We're not allowed to touch, yeah
We'll fall in love
Then hate
'Cause love stuff never lasts
We could dance on the graves of our enemies
Won't that be a blast?

Blast, blast
Boom, baby, kaboom

But oh, I'm ending my life with you
'Cause you're sharp as a knife
We're lost in the forest like Hansel and Gretel
Don't mind that sticky stuff
I don't care what's running down your chest

Come walk with me
Through the world we love so much
And we'll love the beautiful things
We're now allowed to touch

    This is probably the best song on the album. Anyone else agree? I love the way he sings it.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
