Deathly Lyrics

Lyric discussion by overanalyzed 

Cover art for Deathly lyrics by Aimee Mann

The singer is clearly aware that she is attracted to men who are very unhealthy. It's almost like she is saying, the more I like them - the more screwed up they are. Clearly, she feels intense desire and longing for this new man. This can only portend trouble and the healthy part of her is all too aware of this dysfunctional pattern. My favorite part is that she goes so far as to say that if she still falls in love with him she wants him to kill her. I once met a girl at a dance who I was attracted to and asked a friend if she was singlle. He said, stay away from her because she is crazy. I said, oh did you date her? He said, no - but I'm attracted to her. I think this sums up Deathlly perfectly. Thanks for sharing your comments.
