| The Beautiful South – You Keep It All In Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
In general, I agree with the abuse angle -- though not necessarily physical. The song feels like a cynical response to a "You keep your feelings bottled in" barb from a "loved" one (and I think they've kept it open ended so that either gender and your adult/ child/ parent can connect): "Of course I keep my feelings bottled up! What do you expect after years of systematic abuse where you neglected, bullied, failed to love me (or years of watching your miserable, failed relationship if you're seeing things from the daughter's angle)?" I guess, what I'm saying is that the song seems to be about the damage inflicted over time by a vast majority of relationships which causes us to shut down emotionally. |
