Cover art for First Class lyrics by Rainbow Kitten Surprise

My take on this is that, from the partner who is signing’s perspective (Person A), this other person (Person B) who is depressed, comes from a hard life/broken background, is stuck in a life and job they hate, surrounded by people they despise. Person B thinks that their cynicism and rejection of everyone around them makes them hard or untouchable. But really, Person B is just a scared addict (alcohol) either numbing themselves or lashing out. But Person A still sees something so special about Person B, that Person B can’t see for themselves. Person A wants to whisk Person B off to a better life, with the house/kids/trips, the whole idyllic life; Person A is basically begging Person B to put love before self loathing, but Person B can’t. They are stuck, perpetually unhappy, bringing everyone around them down too. And Person A realizes that the offer of the wonderful life is actually just their own dream that they have to let go of.

@yarrowXyarrow oh, and Person A realizes that Person B will eventually leave this life without anyone ever really know who Person B is

@yarrowXyarrow wow I was really wrong with the above comment. So… Person A thinks they belong w Person B, which could be true but Person B is set in their path. Person B is trying to be someone they aren’t, probs engaged to the looks good on paper” person. There is love between Person A and Person B, but Person B won’t forgo what’s expected of them, even though they are unhappy.

Damn.
