Sweetie Pie Lyrics

Cover art for Sweetie Pie lyrics by Morrissey

I don't think it's as simple as a suicide. I think it's about falling in love, and genuinely in love, realizing what an oxymoron it is. As we all know, Morrissey is quite a hermited man, so perhaps falling in love, just so scary because finally, he needs to let his defences down, which aren't in his mind, but out there in the world as a lyric in the final verse shows. I think when he sings "I'm ending my life" I think he means life as he knows it. He's diving into the unknown and he's asking his sweetie pie to be there to meet him, love him.
