Love Is a Dirty Word
Love's Dirty Truth: Unraveling Shakespeare's Intoxicated Rapture
Lyrics
In the golden age
In a time of idealized love
Of Love's architecture
Within the structure or framework of love
Shakespeare was lying drunk in a ditch
Shakespeare, a renowned poet, was intoxicated and in a state of despair
Scribbling out his rapture
Frantically writing about his ecstatic experiences
While getting his pocket picked
While being robbed of his belongings
He said
Shakespeare expressed
Love is a subscription
Love is a commitment or obligation
Passion's what it's worth
The value of love is determined by the intensity of passion
Greed is a conviction
Greed is a firmly held belief or opinion
Love's a dirty word
Love is considered taboo or socially unacceptable
It'll bring you down to earth
Love has a humbling effect, bringing one back to reality
Love is a dirty word
Love is viewed negatively or with disdain
From a bird's eye view, you can see it
From a distant perspective
It's sublime and its absurd
Love is both exalted and irrational
You can buy it and you can sell it
It can be bought or sold
But nobodies figured out how to make it work
No one has figured out how to make it function successfully
You can talk about it like a lawyer
Love can be discussed in legal terms
Or you can call it a crutch
Or seen as a coping mechanism
But in the end its all buried treasure underneath the mud
Ultimately, it is hidden and precious, like treasure in the mud
It'll bring you down to earth
Love has a humbling effect, bringing one back to reality
Love is a dirty word
Love is viewed negatively or with disdain
Down the snakes and up the ladders
Through challenges and successes
This hot mama here's my crush
A desirable woman is the speaker's romantic interest
This young belle wants me a disaster
A young and attractive woman is interested in the speaker, potentially leading to chaos
But I'm still waiting on the second punch
Despite challenges, the speaker anticipates a positive outcome
Yeah, it's a dirty, it's a dirty, it's a dirty word
Emphasizing that love is morally or socially tainted
Love is a dirty word
Love is viewed negatively or with disdain
You get blind and you get burned
Experiencing blindness and pain in love
Get hung up and you get hurt
Becoming entangled and wounded in the pursuit of love
But it brings you down to earth
Despite its challenges, love brings individuals back to reality
