Everybody's Breakin' Up
Love's Demise: Navigating the Modern Breakdown
Lyrics
It seems we're headed for a total breakdown
There's a feeling that a complete breakdown in relationships is imminent.
It keeps on getting harder to connect
It's becoming increasingly difficult to establish meaningful connections with others.
If this is not a war between the sexes
There might not be a direct conflict between genders, but something like a curse or negative influence is affecting relationships.
Well then some kind of hex is in effect
If it's not a gender-related issue, then some kind of mysterious spell or negative force is impacting relationships.
The ones we used to call the happy couple
Couples who were once considered happy have completely given up on romance.
Have given up on romance altogether
These couples have abandoned the idea of romantic relationships entirely.
How that perfect one could come undone
Even the most seemingly perfect relationships are falling apart.
Looks like love's in for a run of nasty weather
Love is about to face a prolonged period of difficult and unpleasant circumstances.
Lines are down, streets are redded
Communication is disrupted, and tension is high.
Pipes cracked, apartments gutted
The situation is in disarray, symbolized by damaged pipes and apartments.
The tough are gettin' goin', 'cause the goin's gettin' tough
People who are resilient are taking action because the situation is becoming challenging.
Everybody's breakin' up
Many people are ending their relationships.
It seems we've come upon some kind of impasse
There's a deadlock or obstacle in relationships that seems insurmountable.
An ending to this fractured fairy tale
The conclusion of what was once a beautiful story has turned into a difficult ending.
What once upon a time were little home sweet homes
Homes that were once loving are now being put up for sale due to broken relationships.
Are now just houses up for sale
Once cozy homes are now just properties available for purchase.
Streets ahush, a grim reminder
The streets are quiet, serving as a sad reminder of lost love.
No lovers laughter, no organ grinder
There's an absence of joyous sounds and familiar romantic symbols.
He's out of work, the monkey run off with the cup
Someone is unemployed, and a symbol of joy (the monkey) has vanished.
Seems like everybody's breakin' up
It appears that everyone is ending their relationships.
Seven year itch, or mid-life crisis
Whether it's a seven-year itch or a mid-life crisis, relationships are falling apart.
We're comin' unhitched, goin' back to old vices
People are separating and reverting to previous habits or behaviors.
The tough are gettin' goin' cause the goin's gettin' tough
Resilient individuals are taking action due to challenging circumstances.
Everybody's breakin' up
Many people are ending their relationships.
