Lazy Situation Lyrics

We kill one another for love
Does it have to, does it have to be
That we kill one another of love?
A year after, a year after
We met up by the powers above
If you want to you can wear my glove
And if you like you, and you like me
We've all got eyes but we cannot see

It's a lazy situation
It's a crooked, ended room
It's a mask of information
'Cause he wants her, and she wants me
And we wanna be with the one that we need
And he wants her, and she wants me
And we all wanna be with the one that we need
And he wants what she wants
And I wanna be with the one who thinks I'm her brother

And we kill one another for love
And we grace it so gradually
And we kill one another for love
And we make it, yeah, we make it bleed
And I see we're all looking above
Are we crazy?
What are we thinking of?
And this ain't you
And this ain't me
We all got hands
But we cannot feel

It's a lazy situation
It's a crooked, ended room
It's a mask of information
'Cause he wants her, and she wants me
And we wanna be with the one that we need
And he wants her, and she wants me
And we all wanna be with the one that we need
And he wants what she wants
And I wanna be with the one who thinks I'm her brother
Thinks I'm her brother...

Sounds like a love triangle to me.

"'Cause he wants her, and she wants me And we wanna be with the one that we need And he wants her, and she wants me And we all wanna be with the one that we need And he wants what she wants And I wanna be with the one who thinks I'm her brother"

So this guy wants her, and she want the writer, and they're all obviously in need of SOMEONE, but the writer feels that he needs to look after her like a brother would look after another sibling [a sister, especially] yes, he wants to be the one with her.

The third paragraph makes me think of how crazy people act trying to be, or staying with the one that they say they love [or do in fact love] and do things that they normally wouldn't do.

The last two lines are strange to me, it's almost as if he's questioning the whole thing. Does he really want to be her brother [metaphoric to look after her] or maybe she's starting to think of him like that, rather than a lover.

I go back and forth.
