Does anyone else feel the lyrics could be about something deeper than being bored of partying?
I reckon it could be about unrequited love. He loves a woman, she used to love him but nothing happened because all of a sudden she moved onto someone else. It uses the backdrop of a party to symbolise the mundane ritual of love.
"Entertainment can sometimes be hard when the thing
that you love is the same thing that's holding you down"
He loves her but she is clearly holding him back from finding someone else because he's so fixated on her.
"This man is dangerous, he just shed his load on your best party frock"
The other guy has shown his intent, he is "dangerous" whilst the narrator is boring.
"I was having a whale of a time until
your uncle Psychosis arrived."
He was happy until she decided she liked someone else. There was just no logic behind her actions.
"I'm here whenever you need me & whenever you need me I won't be here."
He still wants her, but at the same time, he should sack her off considering how she's treated him. He's in two minds.
"If you didn't come to party then why did you come here?"
If she doesn't love him any more what was the point of even trying with him? Why waste all that time just to decide that he's not worthy of her?
"When the party's over will you come home with me?"
When she breaks up with the other guy, could there still be a chance of him and her getting together?
It's probably because I'm going through something similar at the minute and I've been listening to This Is Hardcore a lot recently, but when I listened to the lyrics something just clicked.
I never got why people might think that "being bored of partying" is less of a deep topic than a love story. The disgust with his own hedonism seems pretty relevant and interesting to me, at least more so than "damn, i can't get that girl"
