| Matthew Good Band – Indestructible Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I could be way off, but I'm going to play Devil's advocate here. What if, like the majority of his manifestos, proclaiming "I'm indestructible" is completely satirical. I agree that the main theme is love and relationships, however I lean towards the notion he's referring his own personal insecurities, while appearing fine on the surface, his introverted nature aids in tearing him a part, ranging from feeling inadeqaute compared to his girlfirend/better half and the relationship suffers. Hence the generalized statements that refer to dying, symbolizing the relationship's tumultuous nature. The kicker is that they love each other so much that they're willing to work towards salvaging the relationship, and are unfortunately stuck in a cyclical loop, where Matt constantly gives into his insecurities, trying hard to reach what he feels his girlfriend deserves. Ultimately, while their bond is strong, characterized by Matt's proclamation of feeling indestructible around her, the other side of the coin plays a dehabilitating role as the relationship continues to fall a part. In the end, he wants the best for her, and while he loves and will be there for her (the stereo), he continues to breakdown ("I'm into, I'm in two") under the immense pressure he puts himself through....I could be way out in leftfield, but it's a thought. | |
