Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Sucker love is heaven sent
You pucker up, our passion's spent
My heart's a tart, your body's rent
My body's broken, yours is spent
Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed I lie here charmed
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Sucker love a box I choose
No other box I choose to use
Another love I would abuse
No circumstances could excuse
In the shape of things to come
Too much poison, come undone
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Sucker love, who's known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for heaven's sake
There's never been so much at stake
I serve my head up on a plate
It's only comfort, calling late
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love, I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind
All alone in space and time
There's nothing here, but what here's mine?
Something borrowed, something blue
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
You pucker up, our passion's spent
My heart's a tart, your body's rent
My body's broken, yours is spent
Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed I lie here charmed
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Sucker love a box I choose
No other box I choose to use
Another love I would abuse
No circumstances could excuse
In the shape of things to come
Too much poison, come undone
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Sucker love, who's known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for heaven's sake
There's never been so much at stake
I serve my head up on a plate
It's only comfort, calling late
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love, I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind
All alone in space and time
There's nothing here, but what here's mine?
Something borrowed, something blue
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me
Every me and every you
Every me

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
In order to understand "Sucker Love" by Placebo you have to realise that what mr Brian Molko is talking about is the vision of HOMOSEXUAL LOVE.
Let's get into a throughout verse by verse analysis of this wonderful song;
"Sucker love is heaven sent." (The vision of homosexual love is heaven sent) "You pucker up, our passion's spent." (As long as you (the partner) pucker up - you retreat, the passion is spent - there is no interest for further completion) "My hearts a tart, your body's rent." (I ,who want homosexual love, am immoral and I have rent your body meaning that I have made it mine although it does not belong to me) "My body's broken, yours is bent." (I who want homosexual love have a broken body when yours who retreats is only bent - I am weaker)
"Carve your name into my arm." ( Make your stigma permanent) "Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed." (Instead of stress I feel charm) "Cuz there's nothing else to do," (Homosexual love is inevitable) Every me and every you. (It is inevitable for every me and every you)
"Sucker love, a box I choose." (Box is slang for vagina. I will go straight) "No other box I choose to use." (Monogamy) "Another love I would abuse," (I am not suitable for another love other than the straight one) "No circumstances could excuse." (No circumstances could excuse another love other than the straight one)
"In the shape of things to come." (Things will come in this straight love I chose) "Too much poison come undone." (There will be hurt in this straight love) "Cuz there's nothing else to do," (It is inevitable) "Every me and every you. Every me and every you, Every Me...he" (It's inevitable for everyone)
"Sucker love is known to swing." (The vision of homosexual love is known to be everywhere) "Prone to cling and waste these things." (Prone to cling on my mind and waste all my saying about straight love) "Pucker up for heavens sake." (Retreat for heavens sake) "There's never been so much at stake." (The vision of homosexual love puts me at stake meaning that I am in an inner stuggle without peace of mind)
"I serve my head up on a plate." ( I commit suicide) "It's only comfort, calling late." (It's the only comfort from this inner struggle) "Cuz there's nothing else to do," (It's inevitable) "Every me and every you. Every me and every you, Every Me...he" (Generalization)
"Like the naked leads the blind." (The like for the naked (the truth) leads the blind (the ones who cannot see it)) "I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind." (I made a selfish and unkind conclusion) "Sucker love I always find, Someone to bruise and leave behind." (I (the vision of homosexual love) will always find someone to hurt and knock out)
"All alone in space and time." (The vision of homosexual love is alone in space and time) "There's nothing here but what is here it is mine." (The vision of homosexual love is void and belongs to man) "Something borrowed, something blue." (The vision of homosexual love is inherited and it is blue - depressing) "Every me and every you. Every me and every you, Every Me...he" (Generalization)
The song is called "Every You, Every Me" - a generalization - meaning that whatever mr Brian Molko sings applies to everyone.
