Generator Lyrics

Cover art for Generator lyrics by Foo Fighters

the guy in the song is in love with a girl, this girl is not in love with him, he cant get over her but she has gotten over him.

she goes on into other relationships, but they never work out, and he is always there for her when shes down and out after another love again

"I'm the Generator, firing whenever you quit Yeah whatever it is, you go out and it's on"

it doesnt matter to him that she no longer loves him, he still loves her and will always be there for her

the bit about the noose is not suicide in its entirety, its saying that he is with her till the end and would do anything for her. from a song by catch 22 - "i loved her and for us i shot him down", that also shows how much one man can love a woman, a love so great he would do anything not to lose her, even if it means he can only ever bring her back up after having her heartbroken over and over again, and hide his true love for this girl

reminds me of my current situation

I see this song in that way to as I was in that exact same situation. I was the "backup" guy. The hard part is finally saying enough is enough and moving on. but it is so worth it when you do. Really makes you appreciate when someone doesn't treat you in that way.
