Down With Love
Breaking the Chains: Unveiling the Rebellion Against Love
Lyrics
Down with love, the flowers and rice and shoes
Rejecting traditional symbols of love like flowers, rice, and wedding shoes.
Down with love, the root of all midnight blues
Expressing disdain for love as the source of nighttime sadness.
Down with things that give you that well-known pain
Rejecting things that cause well-known emotional pain associated with love.
Take that moon, wrap it in cellophane
Suggesting a sarcastic gesture of packaging the moon, a romantic symbol, in cellophane, implying a desire to control or limit love.
Down with love let's liquidate all its friends
Advocating the elimination of anything associated with love.
The moon, the June, the roses and rainbow's ends
Listing romantic elements like the moon, June, roses, and rainbow's ends as undesirable.
Down with songs that moan about night and day
Rejecting songs that express romantic sentiments about day and night.
Down with love, yes, take it away, away
Demanding the removal of love altogether.
Take it away, take it away
Repeating the call to take love away.
Give it back to the birds and the bees and the Viennese
Suggesting returning love to nature, symbolized by birds, bees, and the Viennese.
Down with eyes, romantic and stupid
Rejecting romantic and foolish gazes or expressions.
Down with sighs and down with cupid
Rejecting sighs and Cupid, the symbol of love and desire.
Brother, let's stuff that dove
Suggesting stuffing the dove, a symbol of love and peace, as an extreme rejection of love.
Down with love
Emphasizing the overall rejection of love.
Oh, let's go
Encouraging a departure or escape from elements causing emotional pain.
Down with things that give you that well-known pain
Reiterating the rejection of things causing well-known pain related to love.
Take that moon and wrap it in cellophane
Repeating the idea of packaging the moon, reinforcing the desire to control love.
Down with songs that moan about night and day
Repeating the rejection of songs that express romantic feelings about day and night.
Down with love, take it away, away
Reiterating the demand to take love away.
Take it away, take it away
Repeating the call to take love away, emphasizing the rejection.
Give it back to the birds and the bees and the Viennese
Repeating the idea of returning love to nature and away from human experience.
Down with eyes, romantic and stupid
Rejecting romantic and foolish gazes once again.
Down with sighs and down with cupid
Rejecting sighs and Cupid once again, reinforcing the rejection of love.
Brother, let's stuff that dove
