@[CaptSibigeu:541] I am also from the states(midwest) and I'm pretty sure than in no language does "Raise and army" mean have sex. It either means that he is preparing to go to war(have a big fight) or that he is building up defences because he expects an attack is comming. To me, "licking up my 81st birthday" means he's licking his wounds on his 81st birthday and you dont have to be dark or jaded to remember past mistakes/things that you wish would have gone differently or relationships that you stayed in too long. |

When relationships end, to the person being dumped it can feel like their life is over and the other person killed them and/or the relationship. To the person ending the relationship it can be a relief, even if there were strong feelings at the start. "Misery is all we know lately, Saturdays are all the same. Sympathy is overrated, Like a snapshot when you've lost the game." - They have both been miserable lately, and he is tired of it. He has to get rid of his sympathy to end it, the game is lost. "Now it's all the funeral, I've become a serial, Killer of us both" - this is a sarcastic statement to display the other persons exaggeration of the breakup. In the other person's eyes he murdered the relationship. "No, I Don't want to get thrown in your ocean. Don't try, You know that we already know it.. It's over" - He feels like the other person is trying to drown him with their drama, its unnecessary, they both know its over. "At your own burial, Don't forget to cry, At your own burial" - another similar sarcastic statement about the other person's over reaction. "Licking up my eighty-first birthday, Every day this body goes to waste. Remembering how I would raise an army, When we went back to your place" - when he is old and his body is failing him, he will still remember the big fights they use to have. |
