| The Cardigans – Lovefool Lyrics

This song is about a girl who is in love with a guy who no longer loves her. Sometimes when someone is over you, you'd rather have them lie to you and tell you that they still want you than hear the truth. It doesn't solve the problem, but it helps the pain go away. She sounds like she blames herself for their breakup and just wants to stay in this false reality. |

I got something way different out of this song. I think it's about a guy admitting his imperfections, and telling a girl not to expect much out of him. The girl is probably expecting an ideal, traditional relationship with her knight in shining armor who's going to come rescue her out of her tower ("I don't want to meet your dad/ I don't want to be your dream come true") and I think he's trying to get her to just be what she is. He's saying that he'll be there for her when she needs him ("I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape" rain...fire....rain puts out fire...maybe?), but as far as being perfect, he's far from it and isn't even gonna try. |

This song sounds a lot like something that happened with me:
I was dating a guy and broke up with him. He was really crushed about it for many months and it totally tore him apart. We had spent a few months apart after that, and in that time, he decided that the only way to get over me was to have nothing to do with me. When I saw him again, he was so indifferent to me that it just killed me, and I realized that I couldn't live without him. I became just as depressed and messed up as he had been, but I refused to tell him how I felt, because I knew that I didn't deserve to even tell him that I still loved him. Eventually, I couldn't bear the pain anymore, and I confessed my feelings...the first 2 verses of this song are almost exactly what I had said to him when I started out the conversation. He had still had some feelings for me, but he just couldn't take me back, because I had hurt him so badly. A lot has happened since then, but I still think about him everyday. We still have feelings for each other, but neither of us would ever admit it. This song just seems to spell out my relationship to a tee. |
