| Dear and the Headlights – Midwestern Dirt Lyrics | 8 years ago |

I like the interpretation of it being an abusive relationship, but I almost feel as if it's one between a father/son instead of romantic. "I want to bury your face in the Midwestern dirt to dull the shape And cut that hand that changed my name" Want to dull the shape of his face, because he looks like him. Also references name, which makes more sense for wife/husband BUT could still be true. Maybe stepfather? "And my next words could be my last My clumsy mouth and the egg shells cracked" Volatility of an abusive father "Did you ever want to start? Or just watch my love I'm just some impulse buy You couldn't take your eyes off of Some clean white slate for you to fill in the blanks Then show me off, you show me off" Trophy kids are definitely a thing, impulsively deciding you want children to live out the life you wanted. If it were a female singing, it would make sense as an abusive marriage but I think given it coming from a male and this album referencing his family and childhood I think it's plausible. |
