| The Magnetic Fields – (Crazy For You But) Not That Crazy Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| in my opinion, this song is the story of someone falling out of obsession with the person they\'re with. they loved this person so strongly that they were being a bit intense with it but then they started feeling less strongly for them.\n\nthey talk about all the things they did for their s/o and then go on to say theyre still crazy for them, just not as crazy as they were being before. \n\nthey still love their partner, theyre just not obsessing over it anymore.\n\neither that or its someone falling out of love completely with their s/o.\n\nthey used to love them intensely but now they just dont anymore.\n\n(also this is 100% me projecting but it also kinda feels like coming to your senses after being in a toxic relationship. \n\nfeeling dependent on this person and yet also comparing them to something you dont want to be around, "i treated you like radium, i treated you like god. you were my glass menagerie, did you not find that odd?" \n\n"i dwelt within and went without, and pieced my virgin flesh" reminds me of how in toxic relationships you tend to bottle your emotions inside and go without the comfort you need, sometimes taking it out on yourself in dangerous ways.\n\n"now im crazy for you but not that crazy" finally realizing theyre crazy and even though you still feel like you love them you\'re also not crazy enough to stay with them.)\n\nthis was long, sorry lol. i love this song | |
