| Wild Child – The Tale of You & Me Lyrics | 8 years ago |

Okay so, yes it does refer to suicide multiple multiple times in a very graphic way. However, I believe there's a bigger meaning to it. With the background knowledge of Wild Child's origin (Biggins and Wilson both began writing songs with the same background of breaking up with their significate others around the same time.) With that said, when they sing "Always said we'd die together, now you die alone". I believe the message of this song is both Biggins and Wilson showing their hatred of their ex's. Almost turning the cute saying of "growing old together" into suicide and death through hatred and remorse. Yes, it is a bit of a stretch but it wouldn't make sense for them to write something fully on suicide (unless, of course, there's a story behind it) To add to this, the following verses are "You're always talking about this and that singing rattle a tat taking walks down by the moon" and "Can you think about getting old no I've ever been sold on eternity with you" Which also adds to the whole "I hate you I regret dating you" kind-of tone. Or, it can be taken as their ex always said they would be together forever and die together and grow old together, but something must've happened to generate their hatred especially towards their claims on being together forever. (Obviously they aren't, because they broke up as stated in their wiki-page) You can keep reading through the lyrics and make more connections based on what I've said, however I'm not to sure about the outro so let me know what you think! Also excuse my grammar throughout this. I'm lazy. |
