Big Deal
Navigating Heartbreak: Peter Salett's 'Big Deal' Unraveled
Lyrics
Big deal
Expressing dismissive attitude towards a situation.
So you didn't get everything you felt you needed
Acknowledging unfulfilled needs but downplaying their significance.
So what
Emphasizing a nonchalant attitude towards the mentioned situation.
I put your cups and your clothes in the middle of the sidewalk
Describing an act of placing belongings outside, possibly as a symbolic gesture of separation.
Bye bye my babe
Saying goodbye to a significant person.
Bye bye my babe
Repeating the farewell for emphasis.
Fuck you
Expressing strong negative emotions, possibly directed at the mentioned situation or person.
Yeah, all these faces on the TV they make me nauseous
Expressing discomfort or dissatisfaction with the media's portrayal.
One view
Commenting on a narrow perspective presented on TV.
Just guys in their ties talking trash liek they mean it
Disparaging the authenticity of people in formal attire talking insincerely.
Oh here they come
Anticipating the arrival of a group of people.
Oh here they come
Repeating the anticipation for emphasis.
Cuz' I know i should move
Acknowledging the need to move on but expressing a lack of motivation.
But I'm in no mood
Stating the unwillingness to change current emotional state.
And that's why I am
Explaining the emotional state as the "lonesome man."
The lonesome man
Reiterating the sense of isolation.
Bye Bye
Repeating the farewell and extending it to thoughts of financial success.
To the thoughts I was gonna make a lot of money
Reflecting on missed opportunities for wealth.
Sometimes
Expressing occasional desires for destructive actions.
I want to throw a red brick through the window of a restaurant
Specifically mentioning a violent thought involving a restaurant.
But here I am
Acknowledging the current, possibly unwanted, situation.
And bye bye babe
Repeating the farewell, extending it to a significant other.
Cause I know I sound rude
Acknowledging a perceived rudeness in tone.
But I've come unglued
Describing a state of emotional unraveling.
And that's why I am the lonesome man
Reiterating the self-identification as the "lonesome man."
Maybe later when this smoke cleas
Anticipating a potential resolution or clarity after a period of confusion or chaos.
We could speak one word or two
Suggesting a desire for communication in the future.
Cause I know I should move
Repeating the acknowledgment of the need to move on, but expressing a preference for brooding.
But I'd rather brood
Stating a preference for contemplation over action.
And that's why I am
Reiterating the self-identification as the "lonesome man."
The lonesome man
Summarizing the persistent sense of isolation.
That's who I am
Concluding with a reaffirmation of the self as the "lonesome man."
