Better Half
Unveiling the Dark Struggle Within: "Better Half" by Jawbreaker
Lyrics
I see him coming
I observe his approach
We hold our rock we are ready
We hold our ground with determination
The thing we'll do to him
We plan to harm him
They aren't fit for anyone
The harm we intend is not suitable for anyone
Hey this is serious business
This situation is grave and should be taken seriously
I'm gonna hate myself
I anticipate regretting my actions
Still I just can't wait to begin
Despite the anticipated regret, I can't wait to start
The monster inside me
There is a destructive force within me
Can't be talked out of anything
This internal force persuades me into reckless actions
He's got an appetite
He possesses a strong desire or craving
Oh no he's hungry now
He is currently eager or desperate
I just gotta restrain him
I must control or hold back this urge
The seam inside me grows
The internal struggle intensifies
Kiss your better half goodbye
A farewell to your significant other is imminent
All those things you trusted in
All the things you believed in
The man that you pride yourself on
The image of the person you take pride in
All the control you think you hold
Your perceived control over situations
Anything that can go wrong
Any situation has the potential to go awry
Will find itself come and gone
Unexpected events will come and go
His body lies broken
His physical state is severely damaged
Hey some harsh words were spoken
Harsh words were exchanged during the encounter
I feel terrible
I feel a sense of guilt or remorse
It just got away
The situation got out of control
Had to make him pay
I had to make him suffer the consequences
For the hole in my heart
There is an emotional void that needs to be addressed
It's been my fault from the start
The responsibility for the situation lies with me
If you think it all makes sense
If you believe everything has a logical explanation
Can you tell the difference
Can you distinguish or understand
Anything that can go wrong
Any situation with the potential to go wrong
Between a quarter and twenty five cents
The difference between very little and a significant amount
Will find itself come and gone
Unexpected events will occur and then pass
