Navigating Love's Perils: The Academic's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
Love is dangerous
Love is perceived as risky or potentially harmful.
Is it safe enough
Questioning the safety of love and its sufficiency.
When it's pouring rain inside?
Metaphorically describing emotional turmoil or distress.
And blood is poisonous
Symbolizing negativity, suggesting harm or toxicity in relationships.
And we're drowning in drama
Feeling overwhelmed by excessive conflict or intensity in life.
But I won't give up
Commitment to persevere despite challenges.
Oh, his bed is cold
Describing emotional distance and a lack of warmth.
It's like you're always stoned
Comparing emotional numbness to the effects of being stoned.
When did it go?
Expressing confusion and loss in a relationship.
Where did it go?
-Birthday, wearing pink
Recalling a past moment of joy or innocence.
When tears weren't everything
Reflecting on a time when tears weren't the predominant emotion.
Did we get careless?
Questioning if carelessness contributed to the current state.
Who killed the jealous?
Pondering who or what caused the demise of jealousy.
Who killed the jealous?
-Home is silent
Describing a quiet and lonely home.
And coffee's gone quiet
Highlighting the lack of communication or shared experiences.
What's happening to us?
Pondering the deterioration of the relationship.
Empty ashtrays, the static on the TV
Painting a scene of emotional emptiness and detachment.
The noise makes me miss you
Expressing how external noise reminds of the person.
But I won't give up
Reaffirming the commitment to persevere despite the challenges.
Oh, his bed is cold
Reiterating emotional distance and coldness in the relationship.
It's like you're always stoned
Continuing the analogy of emotional numbness to being stoned.
When did it go?
Expressing confusion and loss, questioning the past state.
Where did it go?
-Birthday, wearing pink
Recalling a past joyful moment with a specific detail (wearing pink).
When tears weren't everything
Reflecting on a time when tears were not all-encompassing.
Do we get careless?
Questioning if carelessness played a role in the current situation.
Who killed the jealous?
Pondering who or what caused the demise of jealousy.
Where did it go?
Repeating the question about the disappearance of something.
Oh, where did it go?
-Oh, his bed is cold
Reiterating emotional distance and coldness in the relationship.
It's like you're always stoned
Continuing the analogy of emotional numbness to being stoned.
When did it go?
Expressing confusion and loss, questioning the past state.
Where did it go?
-Birthday, wearing pink
Recalling a past joyful moment with a specific detail (wearing pink).
When tears weren't everything
Reflecting on a time when tears were not all-encompassing.
Do we get careless?
Questioning if carelessness played a role in the current situation.
Who killed the jealous?
Pondering who or what caused the demise of jealousy.
Who killed the jealous?
