Soldier Through This Lyrics

Cover art for Soldier Through This lyrics by Garbage

This was written around the time of Shirley Manson's divorce from Eddie Farrell. My thought on the lyrics is that Shirley's sudden rise to fame had caused a great deal of tension in her marriage. Her husband is left feeling frustrated and emasculated. While Shirley feels herself unable to give up the music that gave her stardom in order to make her husband happy. "Believe it, I need this, I feel intoxicated, I love it, I want it, Don't make me leave you for it."
