End of Love Lyrics
You're so sophisticated
Your mind's been liberated
You're the first to notice when a movement's come and gone
Just as the curtain closes
I strike authentic poses
Now that we know all the words to history's sad songs
So don't be apocolyptic
There's still time to get your last licks
But very soon the glory will make shameful what is true
And dont be apologetic
So what if it is genetic?
The cowards still breathe easy as their secret's safe with you
Are you still feeling bad
That your mother left your dad?
Are you so sure that everybody lies?
Guess what your pains been done
Took perfection by everyone
And the first thing every killer reads is
Catcher in the Rye
You're so sophisticated
Your mind's been liberated
You're the first to notice when a movement's come and gone
So maybe you should just release the doves
'Cause no one will survive the end of love
Maybe you should just release the doves
'Cause no one will survive the end of love
No one will survive the end of love
No one will survive
Your mind's been liberated
You're the first to notice when a movement's come and gone
I strike authentic poses
Now that we know all the words to history's sad songs
There's still time to get your last licks
But very soon the glory will make shameful what is true
So what if it is genetic?
The cowards still breathe easy as their secret's safe with you
That your mother left your dad?
Are you so sure that everybody lies?
Took perfection by everyone
And the first thing every killer reads is
Catcher in the Rye
Your mind's been liberated
You're the first to notice when a movement's come and gone
'Cause no one will survive the end of love
'Cause no one will survive the end of love
No one will survive
I'm pretty sure that it's "To perfection by everyone" as in everyone has felt what she's felt, so it's not that special.
pretty sure also that this song is about taking the piss out of pretentious people that think they've seen and done it all...
I think he's telling someone who's lost their love (parents' marriage, boyfriend/girlfriend) that he's not the first person to feel like it's the end of love (or the world) and he won't be the last, but people get over it. He's also being sarcastic about it "maybe you should just release the doves..."
the first thing every killer reads is Catcher in the Rye -Mark David Chapman, the killer of John Lennon, was crazy obsessed with the book. A little reference there...
