Sweetheart
Live and Let the Sticks and Stones Define Us
Lyrics
Somebody tell somebody else lies like an avalanche they're gonna make you cry
False information will spread rapidly, causing emotional distress.
Everybody knows when you've been wrong.
Public awareness of wrongdoing becomes evident.
I remember our love was born hanging laundry in a lightening storm
Recalling the origin of love during a challenging moment (hanging laundry in a storm).
hid in the cellar as long as we could.
Seeking refuge in the cellar to weather difficulties.
Well the corn ran out and the water ran out
Running out of essential resources, facing inevitable challenges.
and we had to come out when the honey ran out.
Emerging from seclusion when basic pleasures are depleted.
out of the forest and in to the woods.
Transitioning from a difficult situation into a less challenging one.
Sweetheart they're gonna talk about us
Anticipation of gossip and judgment from others.
Well I say “Live and let die”
Adopting a philosophy of embracing life despite challenges, referencing "Live and let die."
Sweetheart they're gonna talk about us
Reiteration of the expectation of societal scrutiny.
Well I say “Live and let die”
Reaffirming the philosophy of resilience and acceptance.
Will my lucky star shine down tonight
Questioning the possibility of good fortune in the current situation.
on a sleeping town in a northern light
Imagining a positive outcome for a town under the influence of the northern lights.
shut my eyes I can see their words fall down
Visualizing the impact of judgmental words on personal well-being.
I Lay my head on a pillow of stone
Suggesting vulnerability by resting on a pillow of stone.
wrap myself in a sinners robe.
Wrapping oneself in a metaphorical robe of imperfection.
sticks and stones, I'm gonna build myself a home
Building a resilient home using the negative words and experiences.
with their sticks and stones, I'm gonna build my home
Reiterating the intention to build a home despite adversity.
Sweetheart they're gonna talk about us
Repeating the theme of anticipated gossip and judgment.
Well I say “Live and let die”
Reaffirming the "Live and let die" philosophy in response to societal expectations.
Sweetheart they're gonna talk about us
Reiteration of the expected societal discussion and the personal response.
Well I say “Live and let die”
Restating the resilience and acceptance philosophy in the face of judgment.
Somebody tell somebody else lies like an avalanche they're gonna make you cry
Repetition of the theme of spreading false information and its emotional impact.
Everybody knows when you've been wrong.
Emphasizing the public awareness of mistakes and its consequences.
Will my lucky star shine down tonight
Revisiting the hope for good fortune under the northern lights.
on a sleeping town in a northern light
Reflecting on the potential impact of judgmental words on personal well-being.
shut my eyes I can see their words fall down
Reiterating the intention to build a resilient home using negative experiences.
sticks and stones, I'm gonna build myself a home
Continuing the metaphor of building a home despite adversity.
with their sticks and stones, I'm gonna build my home
Reaffirming the determination to build a home with resilience.
Sweetheart they're gonna talk about us
Restating the anticipation of gossip and societal discussion.
Well I say “Live and let die”
Reaffirming the "Live and let die" philosophy as a response to challenges.
Sweetheart they're gonna talk about us
Reiteration of the expectation of societal scrutiny and the response to it.
Well I say “Live and let die”
Reaffirming the resilience and acceptance philosophy in the face of judgment.
