The Decemberists – We Both Go Down Together Lyrics 9 years ago
@[inconstanti:3694] There's no real evidence in the song that she's in love with him. He talks of her like a white knight who saved her without asking. When he first lays with her she weeps. He decides they should both die because his parents (not both their parents, just his - the ones he thinks matter) won't consent to it. He doesn't say anything particularly nice about her other than that she's "sweet" and "untouched". He insults her parents, her childhood, her background, and then kills her.
