Casuality Lyrics

Give me my dream and give me a scene where you have a past of which you
are clean.
Oh, give me a lie.
Tell me you fell 'cos of my grace and not to help you erase her face.
And oh, make it your best lie.
'Cos I'm holding up a crystal glass dove in my hands and if it does
fall, if you do fall, it's my fault

So I don't wanna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you're gonna give me is pain
And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you see's a human bandage

Tell me I'd find you're happy inside and if I end this you'll be fine,
Oh, tell me a lie.

Just look at me and say honestly that I'm all you want, not what you need.
And oh, make it your best lie, love,
'Cos I'm holding up a crystal glass dove in my hands
And if it does fall, if it does fall it's my fault.

So I don't wanna be with one more casualty,
'Cos all you're givin' me is pain
And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you see's a human bandage

And I've been playing games
And now I've change my ways
The character I always played
Helped me to forget my name
But now I know,
So get out of my way!

'Cos I'm not gonna be one more casualty
It's been too long since I looked after me ...
I'm not gonna be with one more casualty,
'Cos all you're givin' me is pain
And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you see's a human bandage
I'm not gonna be with one more casualty,
'Cos all you're givin' me is pain
And I'm not gonna be with one more casualty
'Cos all you seem to give me is your pain
I'm not gonna be, no ...

This song to me, is pretty black and white. The lyrics are about not wanting to be with another lover who's only with her to try and get rid of any feelings for a past lover...and that she doesn't want to be held responsible for hurting anyone, when it was reall ythe fault of their past lover. any thoughts?

Perfectly said. In addition, though, I think when it says "one MORE casualty", it sounds like she's been through this before. And this verse:

And I've been playing games And now I've change my ways The character I always played Helped me to forget my name But now I know, So get out of my way!

It sounds like she's putting whoever she's dating ahead of herself, at the expense of being true to herself or taking care of herself at all. But now she's tired of it, and has probably realized that it's not healthy.

Of course,...

Rebound!

Well aware of the feeling this song has behind it. lol. Yeah, pretty black and white as anaethetise said. Although I would personally say that it's really the fault of the person putting the pressure on her, not the ex. It sucks being stuck around someone that sees their ex or someone they're in love with (that isn't yourself) when they look at you, let alone being in a "romantic" relationship with someone like that. "'Cos all you see is a human bandage" is an excellent line for how it feels. Of course a part of you wants them to tell a bold face lie and say that you're the one they want, but no matter what they say, it's evident that they want that other person and are just using you as a substitute. Eventually somethings going to give, and when it does who's fault is it? Yours of course! Not the person that threw you into such a crappy situation. The joys of rebounds~
