| Mesh – Hurt Lyrics

|
This album is about a woman in love with an abusive alcoholic. This song is told through her eyes. He keeps promising he'll stop drinking but he's a liar, he has no real intention of quitting, he refuses to get help, so he ends up getting drunk and belligerent toward her and ultimately abusing her. These drinking binges can go on for days, but when he's done with the binge he doesn't even understand how much damage he did while he was drunk, he doesn't even remember most of it. She's absolutely devastated by the pain he's caused her. She can barely get out of bed, she's had to miss work, and she can't stop crying. But he usually thinks she's overreacting, that it was no big deal, and he rarely ever apologizes for his behavior. Every once in a while it's so bad that he actually DOES apologize, he says that he really DOES want to quit drinking, he doesn't want to lose her, but his words are nothing but a bunch of lies. She wants to believe him, she tries SO hard to make him understand, she forgives him over and over again, she tries so hard to make him happy, hoping he might actually start to care about her, yet he keeps lying to her...and nothing hurts more than when you love someone so much you'd do anything for them, and instead of appreciating you they just keep telling you more and more lies. "Of all the people there could be, you had to tell your lies to me. Of all the people there could be, it had to be you." |

| Mesh – Sympathy Lyrics

This entire Mesh album is about a woman who is in love with an abusive alcoholic. Even though the singer of Mesh is male, I think the songs on Fragile are told through the perspective of the woman. In Sympathy, she's talking about the cycle of him getting drunk, being abusive, and she keeps forgiving him because he keeps promising it's going to stop but it keeps happening again and again, and it keeps getting worse. But all he cares about is himself, he's never there for her when she needs him, and in this song she's really angry about that. She wants him to start to take some responsibility for his actions instead of relying on her for sympathy. She wants him to quit drinking and she wants to be there for him, but he refuses, and she's starting to get fed up. |
