Casuality Lyrics

Cover art for Casuality lyrics by Missy Higgins

This song to me, is pretty black and white. The lyrics are about not wanting to be with another lover who's only with her to try and get rid of any feelings for a past lover...and that she doesn't want to be held responsible for hurting anyone, when it was reall ythe fault of their past lover. any thoughts?

Perfectly said. In addition, though, I think when it says "one MORE casualty", it sounds like she's been through this before. And this verse:

And I've been playing games And now I've change my ways The character I always played Helped me to forget my name But now I know, So get out of my way!

It sounds like she's putting whoever she's dating ahead of herself, at the expense of being true to herself or taking care of herself at all. But now she's tired of it, and has probably realized that it's not healthy.

Of course,...
