@[tigress:15128] Just further to that, what I'm saying is reinforced by the lines "do you have a heart of stone" and "do you have a heart at all" She is the one with the hate, or presumed hate. It's not an internal conflict. It's a collision between the two of them. Much simpler than you are making it by over analysing it. Def Leppard are Yorkshiremen and they are known for saying it how it is. Most of their lyrics are very straight forward. Look at Animal! Take care. |

@[tigress:15126] I don't think it's about the conflict of emotions within himself. I think it's a conflict of emotions between the two of them. This is a break up. He's done something to upset her. That's why she won't take his calls. Maybe deep down she still loves him, we don't know, because we only get his side, but right now, at this moment, for whatever reason, she feels like she hates him. But he still loves her and that's what hurts. That is the collision of love and hate. "I can't stop the hurt inside when love and hate collide" ... I can't stand how much it hurts when I love you and want to be with you and know we could make it work, but you hate me and won't speak to me. |

@[Lilandra:15125] I think you're both wrong. The lines "I could tell a million lies but it would come as no surprise, when the truth is like a stranger, hits you right between the eyes" aren't about lying to her during the relationship or being surprised that he loves her. It's about lying to himself. Either telling himself it can still work when deep down he knows it can't as she now has hate for him (ties in with "divided we stand" and the theme of "love and hate collide") OR Telling himself he can get by without her (I ain't gonna make that call) when deep down he knows he can't because he loves her. In either one of these, he can lie to himself a million times but it won't hide the obvious truth (no surprise) which still hits him right between the eyes. |
