Suedehead Lyrics

I'm surprised no one has stated the obvious.

The literal meaning of this song is quite simple:

Person "A" broke it off with person "B" cos "B" violated "A's" trust/boundaries by reading "A"s" diary (I'm so sickened now).

Although the relationship has ended, "A" still cares about "B", and feels sorry that things had to end.

However person "B" continues to bother "A", most likely as an attempt to reconcile, by coming around and attempting communication (why do you come here, why do you hang around, why do you telephone, why send me silly notes).

-Just think about your last crazy, controlling, insecure ex and it all makes perfect sense. ;-/

Song Meaning

@medfly Hello from 2022!

I had to sign up to this site just to "hi five" you!

@medfly It is simple but not in the way you think.

It's about a person whose father left the family home. When said father visits it makes things hard for the child. As they have to deal with all the emotions when the father goes again. The father goes into his child's room, and goes through his diary and poem (Lai) The good "lay " is actually a good "Lai" - a good poem.

I can see why people think its about lovers who have broken up. I never got that from it though. Coming...
