Love Ruins Everything
Love's Wreckage: Unveiling the Bittersweet Symphony of Lloyd Cole's Melody
Lyrics
Hey, hey, hey
Expression of attention or greeting
Look at me now
Reflecting on the present moment
I`m unrecognizable
Feeling changed beyond recognition
My trademark frown has grown
His usual serious expression has transformed
Into the strangest easy smile
A peculiar and easy smile has replaced the frown
Oh, my, my,
Expressing surprise or realization
Where did I go wrong?
Reflecting on personal mistakes or regrets
Ask all my drunken friends
Turning to friends, possibly for insight or support
"who`s going to carry us home?
Concern about finding someone to take care of the group
Who`s going to drink `till the morning?
Emphasizing the desire to continue partying until morning
Who`s going to carry us home?
Reiterating the need for someone to ensure a safe journey home
Love ruined everything"
Suggesting that love has caused significant problems
As the ladies line their eyes
Observing the actions of others at the party
And the gents make their excuses
People offering justifications or excuses
And the talk is going cheap
Conversation is insincere or lacking depth
I`ll be smiling in my sleep
Despite external appearances, he finds inner contentment
Hey, hey, hey,
Repeating the initial expression, possibly for emphasis
Look at her now
Shifting focus to a female figure at the party
She`s the life of the party
Describing her as the center of attention
Oh, my, my,
Similar to line 6, expressing surprise or realization
Where did she go wrong?
Reflecting on the woman's perceived mistakes or regrets
Ask all my drunken friends
Similar to line 8, seeking input from friends
"Who`s going to carry us home?
Repeating the concern about finding someone to take care of the group
Who`s going to drink `till the morning?
Reiterating the desire to continue partying until morning
Who`s going to carry us home?
Reemphasizing the need for someone to ensure a safe journey home
Love ruined everything"
Repeating the idea that love has caused significant problems
