Arms Around Your Love Lyrics

Cover art for Arms Around Your Love lyrics by Chris Cornell

Well that sounds sensible really. Whether she breaks up because you were holding back or whatever, i think this song is, as the title suggests, mainly about seeing the girl you're still madly in love with in the arms of another, knowing that even though she means the world to you and you've never loved like this before, you're never gonna get her back, and she's through with you forever.

Stuff like that tends to bring about the idea of suicide. I just read an article where scientists had found that suicide rates among heartbroken men were way higher than among girls, and i like the way Chris has through his entire career highlighted that emotional problems do in fact exist with guys as well, they even tend to be worse and more wide-spread.

So yeah i think it's a guy song, there's too many chick songs and girls get over this so easily anyway... I would most likely consider killing myself had i seen anyone with their arms around my lost love...

No fair comparing guys and gals on the plane of depth of emotion. You must be right about this one. It's not totally a "happy ending" for anyone because it isn't a sweet revenge at all in fact in my own case it feels very bitter.
