Lyrics
The seven year itch has come for the middle class father to some
The seven year itch symbolizes a point of dissatisfaction for the middle-class father.
Castle built from sand and stone is now crumbling into the dust
A metaphorical castle, representing stability, is falling apart for the father.
Evening time has come
The evening signifies a time of reflection or change.
Tuck the children in and steal the sun
Putting the children to bed and ending the day, possibly signaling a significant event.
Execute the plan, make no mistakes
An imperative to execute a plan perfectly, implying a critical situation.
Should we just refrain or start again?
Pondering whether to refrain from a course of action or start anew.
Love is relative
Love is discussed as a subjective concept.
But are relatives so loved that a father or mother won’t take a sister or brother,
Questioning the strength of familial bonds in deciding whether to sever relationships.
Cut bait and move on?
Pondering whether to move on from family ties.
Carry on...
An encouragement to continue despite challenges.
Let no man put asunder
Expressing determination to prevent any separation or division.
I’m gonna love you ‘til you’re six feet under
A commitment to love until death, suggesting a deep connection.
For seven years, bitch and moan
Reflecting on seven years of complaints and dissatisfaction.
And coming through the door, following on
Someone entering, possibly bringing further challenges or changes.
Take the time to bond and play before a tired mind gets to unwind
Emphasizing the importance of bonding and play before dealing with a weary mind.
Evening time has come
Repetition of evening time, reinforcing a sense of closure or change.
Tuck the children in and steal the sun
Repeating the bedtime routine, suggesting a cyclical nature of events.
Execute the plan, make no mistakes
Reiteration of the need for precise execution of plans.
Should we just refrain or start again?
A repetition of the choice between refraining and starting afresh.
Love is relative
Reiterating the subjective nature of love and relationships.
But are relatives so loved that a father or mother won’t take a sister or brother,
Repeating the question of whether familial bonds justify breaking ties.
Cut bait and move on?
Repeating the consideration of moving on from family connections.
Carry on...
A continuation of the encouragement to persist despite challenges.
Let no man put asunder
Reaffirming the commitment to prevent any separation or division.
I’m gonna love you ‘til you’re six feet under
Reiterating the commitment to love until death.
