God, all I can think of is Ibsen and how over the top some of the lines in his plays are. For example, in "Hedda Gabler," the title character says, as she throws herself backwards onto a sofa, "Why must everything that I touch become ugly?" Gets me every time.
That's not to say that i don't like the song; it just reminds me of Scandinavian melodrama.
"Why is my bleeding heart beating?"
