Got Shot Down
Love's Battlefield: Confronting Rejection in the Dance of Hearts
Lyrics
stitched up like a wounded soldier
Feeling emotionally wounded or hurt, akin to a soldier injured in battle.
rain falls on my parade
Experiencing disappointment or setbacks; a metaphorical parade being rained on symbolizing negative events.
any time i get the nerve to ask her
Expressing hesitation or fear in approaching someone for a romantic inquiry.
it? two heartbeats too late
Realizing that the opportunity has passed or that it is too late to express romantic feelings.
guys in shiny ties and gq hairdos
Describing well-dressed and sophisticated individuals, possibly symbolizing romantic rivals.
play every angle right
Suggesting a strategic and calculated approach to romantic competition.
designer suits and foreign sport coupes
Highlighting the materialistic and glamorous aspects of the romantic competition.
how? i supposed to fight
Expressing frustration and a sense of inadequacy in comparison to the competition.
shot one - my chance is done
Indicating the first failed attempt in pursuing a romantic interest.
shot two - what? there to lose
Expressing a resigned attitude, questioning the point of making a second attempt.
shot down - i should have known
Acknowledging defeat or rejection after multiple attempts.
i got shot down ?i guess i should have known
Reiterating the realization of being rejected, possibly with a sense of hindsight.
people say i? better off without her
Refuting others' opinions that the person is better off without the romantic interest.
she? way out of my league
Highlighting the perceived difference in social standing or desirability.
she? a killer and i? no contender
Describing the romantic interest as unattainable or dangerous, recognizing personal limitations.
gotta break this losing streak
Expressing a desire to break a pattern of romantic failures.
i always see her at the in-crowd parties
Observing the romantic interest in exclusive social gatherings.
i
Interruption in the lyrics; continuation is missing.
