This song is beyond brilliant. Any intelligent person would conclude that this song is open to myriad interpretations. My take is one of a toxic relationship from the perspective of insidious drug co dependence. Getting drunk and staying up with you along with holding something we don't need resonates greatly in terms of my trials and tribulations related to drug abuse. He says why don't you be you and you be me. That speaks loudly in terms of the drugs taking one away from his or her true self. He says if this is what we're living for, then why aren't we doing it any more? That correlates to opiates and the diminished or non existent sex drives that long term abuse elicits. It's a wonderful song that anyone who has battled drug/opiate abuse can relate to. Outstanding writing. |
