For the Hell of It
Love's Dilemma: A Reflection on Insecurity and Long-Term Commitment
Lyrics
Give me a sign 'cause I'm done trying
Expressing a desire for a clear sign as the speaker is tired of guessing.
To guess where this will go
Expressing uncertainty about the future direction of the relationship.
I'm in then I'm out 'cause I'm terrified
Describing a pattern of being in and out of the relationship due to fear of love ending.
That love dies in every home
Expressing concern that love tends to die in every household.
'Cause there's always some insecurity
Reflecting on the presence of insecurities in the relationship.
I'm overthinking you and me
Admitting to overthinking about the speaker and their partner.
30 years down the line, will I wish you were never mine
Pondering whether, 30 years later, there will be regret about the relationship.
I spend too much time trying to figure it out
Expressing frustration spending too much time trying to understand the relationship.
If I'm not the one for you, leave me now
Encouraging the partner to leave if the speaker is not the right one for them.
I want to get ahead of this
Expressing a desire to proactively address relationship issues.
Don't love me for the hell of it
Emphasizing the importance of genuine love, not just for the sake of it.
Just to please your dad
Rejecting the idea of being loved to please someone else, like a father.
To make her mad
Rejecting love used to provoke someone else's anger.
To fit the plans you made with someone else
Rejecting love based on plans made with someone else.
'Cause I'd rather be irrelevant
Preferring irrelevance over insincere love.
Just don't love me for the hell of it
Reiterating the plea not to be loved for the sake of it.
I'll admit, I've been staring at our ceiling
Admitting to contemplating the relationship and questioning personal responsibility.
Am I the one to blame
Questioning if the speaker is to blame for stirring up issues in the relationship.
For stirring things up and questioning us
Reflecting on questioning the relationship when there are no external obstacles.
When there's nothing else in the way
Highlighting insecurities and concerns about the partner wanting to leave.
'Cause there's always some insecurity
Reiteration of the presence of insecurities in the relationship.
I'm worried that you'll wanna leave
Expressing worry about the partner's potential desire to end the relationship.
30 years down the line, will you wish you were never mine
Wondering if, 30 years later, the partner will regret being in the relationship.
I spend too much time trying to figure it out
Feeling overwhelmed trying to understand the relationship.
If I'm not the one for you, leave me now
Encouraging the partner to leave if the speaker is not the right fit.
I want to get ahead of this
Expressing a proactive stance in addressing relationship issues.
Don't love me for the hell of it
Reiterating the importance of genuine love, not for the sake of it.
Just to please your dad
Rejecting the idea of being loved to please someone else, like a father.
To make her mad
Rejecting love used to provoke someone else's anger.
To fit the plans you made with someone else
Rejecting love based on plans made with someone else.
'Cause I'd rather be irrelevant
Preferring irrelevance over insincere love.
Just don't love me for the hell of it
Reiterating the plea not to be loved for the sake of it.
I don't want to just be loved like this
Expressing a desire for meaningful love, not superficial or insincere affection.
Don't love me for the hell of it
Reiterating the plea not to be loved for the sake of it.
Just to please your dad
Rejecting the idea of being loved to please someone else, like a father.
To make her mad
