When relationships end, to the person being dumped it can feel like their life is over and the other person killed them and/or the relationship. To the person ending the relationship it can be a relief, even if there were strong feelings at the start.
"Misery is all we know lately, Saturdays are all the same. Sympathy is overrated, Like a snapshot when you've lost the game."
They have both been miserable lately, and he is tired of it. He has to get rid of his sympathy to end it, the game is lost.
"Now it's all the funeral, I've become a serial, Killer of us both"
this is a sarcastic statement to display the other persons exaggeration of the breakup. In the other person's eyes he murdered the relationship.
"No, I Don't want to get thrown in your ocean. Don't try, You know that we already know it.. It's over"
He feels like the other person is trying to drown him with their drama, its unnecessary, they both know its over.
"At your own burial, Don't forget to cry, At your own burial"
another similar sarcastic statement about the other person's over reaction.
"Licking up my eighty-first birthday, Every day this body goes to waste. Remembering how I would raise an army, When we went back to your place"
when he is old and his body is failing him, he will still remember the big fights they use to have.
@dkrauter i think he meant "raising an army" like, they would seriously get it on, in an "intimate sense" when they got back to her place...i've never heard the term "raise an army" used in either sense...in the usa we just mean like we're going to war when we say that i guess. hahaha (sad)
urs makes more sense. since he'd probably call it "raising a soldier" vs "an army" if he meant it the way i though...
I would like to add though, even though yes we are addressing a fictional narrative poem... jeeze, imagine-he's now 81 and what he...

I would like to add though, even though yes we are addressing a fictional narrative poem... jeeze, imagine-he's now 81 and what he recalls the fights? I sure do hope they broke up like when he was 79 and a half...that'd be acceptable but still already time to let go. otherwise, what a bitter old guy....we really should not hang on to the negative parts of the distant past. It severly affects your ability to have a positive outlook on your life- i am speaking from experience. First, your most likely just bitter at urself anyway...so immediately address that, and then, just keep the memories of the good stuff in the forefront of your mind, because after all, you were just having a go, first time and all...it never works out perfectly. Good enough has to be that.
@CaptSibigeu I am also from the states(midwest) and I'm pretty sure than in no language does "Raise and army" mean have sex. It either means that he is preparing to go to war(have a big fight) or that he is building up defences because he expects an attack is comming.
To me, "licking up my 81st birthday" means he's licking his wounds on his 81st birthday and you dont have to be dark or jaded to remember past mistakes/things that you wish would have gone differently or relationships that you stayed in too long....
