Sick Muse Lyrics

Lyric discussion by cupidvspsyche 

Cover art for Sick Muse lyrics by Metric

these lyrics aren't entirely correct, but i'm sure they will be fixed once metric's new c.d comes out. this is the titled song, and i really love it from what i've seen of concert/ youtube footage, especially the acoustic version of just emily on piano and james on guitar. i hope that the version on the album will be some semblance of that.

i think the lyrics are brilliant as well, possibly about falling in love with someone but it being an inconveinance and perhaps even getting in the way of a career, and maybe it's about "pulling those arrows out" and choosing that loneliness for the sake of the career and then having to watch other people being in love with each other. i think a fairly negative portrayal of love can be seen in this song, and in the acoustic version the chorus sounds very sad.

regardless, it's bound to be a good one and i can't wait to see what other people think when traffic picks up.

this song is actually called "Sick Muse" on the new album...

and these are mostly wrong.
