Tear You Apart

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
