| Scissor Sisters – Almost Sorry Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song is from the perspective of someone whose raison d'être is the feud with a longtime arch rival who has died unexpectedly. The enemy has given the singer notoriety (in that no-press-is-bad-press sense) through insults and vicious barbs, ironically leaving the singer feeling a void, instead of triumph, in the enemy's sudden demise. Furthermore, being the first of the two to die, the enemy has upstaged the singer, because people tend to reflect fondly on (and avoid speaking ill of) the dead. As the survivor of the two, the singer is going to be saddled with this idealized image of the rival. See also "frenemy" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenemy |
