| Faith No More – Midlife Crisis Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Beautifully and subtlely written poem basically describing being used by someone you love. Signing up for their problems (inheriting, or being sucked into a family tree) by being with that person in a relationship, giving his/her life up for that person and getting nothing in return. Two dynamics are represented in the song, first the narrator is used up, then the narrator gives up. Second, the person the song is about only thinks of themselves so they never understand why or how the other person feels empty from all the giving. So number one has to figure out to stay or to go "You're perfect, yes its true" (yeah you have everything you want) but without me you are only you (what do you really have in the end) Your menstruating heart It ain't bleedin' enough for two (you only have enough love for yourself) so, hense, it's a midlife crisis, by the time you found out you are with a person who sucks the life out of you, you've pretty much had all the life sucked out already, so now what do you do? |
