| La Dispute – New Storms For Older Lovers Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
What I get from the song is a husband confronting an wife's past lover who wouldn't back off when they got married (Now when you saw your lover wore a ring around her finger, why didn't you stop). Apparently the cheater used to have a life with the woman, including kids, and disregards their happiness to be with the woman (Think about your children they'll never believe what you've done). Knowing that the current marriage is potentially over, the husband condemns the man to guilt for the "wreckage" he's created. Rather than blaming the wife, the husband blames the man. The next portion is painting a scene with the two men in a room, the one taking the assault completely unphased. The final speech by the cheater explains that the marriage is doomed and he has to accept it, and further rationalizes that she's happier with him now. The song ends with the cheater apologizing for what the husband is faced with. Excellent song by an amazing band. |
