Sweet Marie
Love's Undoing: Timo Räisänen's Sweet Marie Unraveled
Lyrics
Were we still kissing when you knew that we were through?
Questioning whether the speaker and Marie were still kissing even after realizing their relationship was over.
Were we still holding hands when you began to see us from another point of view?
Wondering if physical closeness persisted while Marie started seeing their relationship differently.
Tell me was I slipping before I even knew
Asking if the speaker was losing grip on the relationship before being aware of it.
Did I fall down and make my mind go black and blue?
Reflecting on whether the speaker's actions caused mental and emotional distress.
Didn't I know, and couldn't I see
Expressing a lack of awareness and insight.
And why did I have to make those same mistakes
Questioning the repetition of mistakes and poor decisions.
My sweet Marie
Referring to the subject of the song as "My sweet Marie."
Did I hit the wall before I knew which way to go?
Wondering if the speaker faced obstacles before understanding the right path.
Couldn't I just understand when you said no no no no no no no no no no
Expressing difficulty in comprehending Marie's rejection despite clear signals.
Were you deceiving me with conscience white as snow
Suspecting Marie of deceiving with a pure conscience.
You should win an Oscar for how aptly you performed the show
Commending Marie's acting skills in the performance of ending the relationship.
Didn't I know, and couldn't I see
Reiterating the lack of awareness and understanding.
And why did I have to make those same mistakes
Questioning the repetition of mistakes and poor decisions.
My sweet Marie
Repeating the affectionate address to Marie.
I've got so many worries I'm afraid my head will explode
Expressing overwhelming worries and fear of mental breakdown.
I'm doing everything to help you get away from this load
Doing everything possible to help Marie unload her burdens.
It's hard and complicated but I never learned your code
Acknowledging the complexity of the situation but not understanding Marie's perspective.
Your code
Emphasizing the mysterious nature of Marie's actions with the reference to "code."
Your code
Repeating the mention of Marie's "code."
Your fucking code
Intensifying the frustration with the use of explicit language.
(So) Were we still kissing when you knew that we were through?
Repeating the initial question about kissing and knowing the relationship was over.
Did I make it impossible for one plus one to equals are two?
Questioning if the speaker made reconciliation impossible.
Didn't I know, and couldn't I see
Reiterating the lack of awareness and understanding.
And why did I have to make those same mistakes
Questioning the repetition of mistakes and poor decisions.
My sweet Marie
Repeating the affectionate address to Marie.
Didn't I know, and couldn't I see
Reiterating the lack of awareness and understanding.
And why did I have to make those same mistakes
Questioning the repetition of mistakes and poor decisions.
My sweet Marie
Repeating the affectionate address to Marie.
