So What
Love's Toxic Spiral: Breaking Free from the Chains
Lyrics
Well I've been going out of my head
Expressing frustration or confusion
Since I met you
Linking the emotional state to meeting someone
But you drive me up the wall it seems
Describing the source of frustration or irritation
What more can I do
Conveying helplessness in the situation
You're just no good for me
Labeling the person as detrimental to the speaker
So lock me up and throw away the key
Metaphorically suggesting imprisonment to escape the relationship
Cause I've just about had all
Expressing reaching a limit in enduring negative aspects
I can take from you
Conveying the speaker's inability to tolerate more from the person
Well I've been going out of my head
Reiteration of emotional distress linked to the person
Since I found you
Connecting the emotional turmoil to discovering the person
But you turned out to be poison
Revealing disappointment or betrayal in the person
Now I'm feeling blue
Expressing sadness resulting from the toxic relationship
But everything will be alright
Optimistic outlook, anticipating improvement
If I can keep you out of sight
Suggesting that avoiding the person will bring relief
Six feet under where no one will have a clue
Metaphorically placing the person in a distant, hidden place
So what, you never even gimme one shot
Dismissive attitude towards the person's impact
I don't want to rain on your parade
Acknowledging the person's achievements but maintaining distance
You're really somethin'
Admiration for the person despite the decision to distance
But I'm nearly jumpin'
Expressing a desire to escape from the situation
Well I've been going out of my head
Reiteration of emotional distress linked to the person
Since I met you
Connecting ongoing distress to the initial meeting
