Tear You Apart Lyrics
It appears that most of you people have too overly romantic views on how you make love to a girl. Not everyone is into rose petals, candles and feathers, you know...
You're totally missing the point if you think this song is about rape or murder.
The "hero" has a crush on a girl in shcool, but afraid of falling in love with her. Not because he has low self-esteem, but because he's not an ordinary guy. He has a dark mindset, but tries to act normal. He understands that there's a big chance the girl may become afraid of his true self, so he's being very cautious not to let himself slip.
He accidentally tells about his feelings to her best friend. When she walks in, he gets very nervous and leaves.
Whole weekend he's being tortured by his obsession with her. In disbelief that everything will work out, he hopes that it will just go away, but can't stop it from growing.
There's no way back now. The next time they meet again he decides to face her. After some awkward moments their eyes meet and she tells him that she likes him.
He explodes. It doesn't matter now if it's gonna be a one night stand or a long relationship. He wants her BAD. But in a very sinister and dominant way. He wants to press against her chest, hold her tight and fuck her like crazy till she's completely exhausted. He wants to "do things to her" while she just lie still and submit. Of course, he doesn't want to tear her apart literally.
This song is awesome and I can relate to it. A shame that so many misunderstand it.
I think that your interpretation is spot on.

What I thought of when I heard this song...
This is soooo a song you would play during sex.
I know, right. lol
I know, right. lol
Watch the film "The Number 23". Someone stole your idea. :D

It's just sex. Really, guys? Sex.
So I put myself in the shoe's of the "hero" and superimposed my own life into the song. To me it boils down to a simple crush that this "guy" can't get out of his head. It's an affliction he has that is driving him crazy and no matter what he does to repress the idea of her he is unable to expostulate the idea of "them" to himself. So he hates her; he hates her because he can't control his own life, he hates her because of the trepidation she impregnates in his being and the way she has stolen every waking moment from him. But even with all that hate there is an equal if not greater love/caring. Upon the idea which has been preoccuping his head coming to fruitioa battle must be fought from within to decided which emotion will win. For that reason he wishes he never knew her and that he could just "tear her apart" and be done with her.
But that whole paragraph is leaving out one key line which may be the turning point for the entire analysis. That line is: Cause theres always repercussions when you're dating in school. This could bring a whole new spin on the songs meaning or it could just be an excuse he is using to help combat the longing for her. For my purposes I'll have to side with the latter for now.
But here are what "I" think the lyrics say:
"Got a big plan, this mindset maybe it's right At the right place and right time, maybe tonight In the whisper or handshake sending a sign Wanna make out and kiss hard, wait nevermind
Late night, in passing, mention it flipped to her Best friend it's those saying maybe it slipped But the slip turns to terror and a crush to light When she walked in, he throws up, leave it to fright
It's cute, in a way, till you cannot speak And you leave to have a cigarette, knees get weak Escape was just a nod and a casual wave Obsess about it heavy for the next two days
It's only just a crush, it'll go away It's just like all the others it'll go away Or maybe this is danger and he just don't know You pray it all away but it continues to grow
I want to hold you close Skin pressed against me tight Lie still, and close your eyes girl So lovely, it feels so right
I want to hold you close Soft breasts, beating heart As I whisper in your ear I want to fucking tear you apart
Then he walked up and told her, thinking maybe it'd pass And they talked and looked away a lot, doing the dance Her hand brushed up against his, she left it there Told him how she felt and then they locked in a stare
They took a step back, thought about it, what should they do Cause theres always repercussions when you're dating in school But their lips met, and reservations started to pass Whether this was just an evening or a thing that would last
Either way he wanted her and this was bad Wanted to do things to her it was making him crazy Now a little crush turned into a like And now he wants to grab her by the hair and tell her
I want to hold you close Skin pressed against me tight Lie still, and close your eyes girl So lovely, it feels so right
I want to hold you close Soft breasts, beating heart As I whisper in your ear I want to fucking tear you apart" -Tear You Apart, She Wants Revenge
that's a good idea of the song at the beginning, but i disagree with it. he goes out and wants to get laid, by anyone probably. but he sees this one girl and she mentions to her buddy that she's interested. he's trying to play it cool but they keep meeting and he eventually just gives in to his male feelings. and i'm guessing that when they say "tear you apart" they mean sex. just saying. it's probably not as deep as you think. i love this song either way

In relation to my own life. I had a massive crush on this guy who I thought was SO amazing- basically almost the one... only to find out that he is gay.

Gosh... every time I see him I feel the whole I wanna tear you apart because no matter what I do, no matter what situations come along or change "we" can never ever happen. Like it's almost like the sight of him is too much to bare.

this song is about kinky hardcore sex people!!!!!!!!!! ;)
hey, just a suggestion - when you update and fix lyrics, there is no need to put the changed words in caps. it's an eyesore, but more importantly, it's rather passive aggressive. having the correct lyrics are correct are all that matters. there are some of us that like to copy+paste lyrics into our itunes and having to manually correct things (such as words in capital letters!) is cumbersome and annoying.
thank you! :)
this band is so awesome...they have wicked lyrics that are so relateable because they're issues that everyone has dealt with one time or another. I think the narrator has some crazy fanatsies about this girl but nothing really happened between them. She's only seen from afar.
oh, im sorry for having an opinion. I'd rather not waste anymore of my time here.
why would you find a band you don't like and criticize them in a comment? i always share my opinion, but seriously. i don't go out of my way to. oh, and we really wouldn't want you to waste your time doing it either. we all know you should get back to getting your ass kicked at ventrillo by 12 year olds. since your mom is cooking dinner upstairs you should probably get to that too. but thanks for your opinion. i'm sure i speak for everybody on this comment form when i say we really appreciated it. dumbass.

I didn't hear the Bauhaus influence, at all, and I'm a huge Bauhaus fan. Definitely some Curtis/Joy Division influence there, the guy sounds like Curtis has been reincarnated. Maybe except this guy isn't as good as our lovely Ian. Cool song, but I really don't like the rest of their stuff. The album was disappointing.
I think it's about two people crushing on one another, and there are difficulties. But they get together, anyways. Pretty simple, little, if any, hidden meaning.
