Issues
Navigating Love's Quirks: A Tale of Relationships and Resilience
Lyrics
Why you coming round?
Questioning the reason for someone's presence
Why you coming here?
Expressing curiosity about why the person is coming
You tell me that I'm worthless as I turn to get us a beer
Reacting to being called worthless, while going to get a beer
You're living at the top
Pointing out the other person's elevated status
I'm dying underneath
Feeling overwhelmed or oppressed in comparison
I don't need anyone at my grave laying their wreath
Desiring solitude even after death, without others mourning
So don't insist
Rejecting insistence or unwanted intrusion
You tried to tell me 'bout your issues
Expressing disinterest in hearing about the person's problems
I don't need to know about them anymore
Emphasizing the lack of willingness to know about the issues
Your issues
Referring to the other person's problems
And why you're standing in my kitchen door
Questioning why the person is in the speaker's space
I don't want to talk about it
Declaring a reluctance to discuss the matter
I don't care
Asserting apathy or indifference
But what's that glistening in your stare?
Observing something unsettling or insincere in the person's gaze
They say the world is round
Referencing the spherical nature of the world
Will you have another beer?
Suggesting having another drink
Killing time all the time isn't what brings you here
Commenting on the unproductive nature of killing time
Life is at the top
Highlighting the positive aspects of life
Death is underneath
Contrasting life with death, expressing a desire not to disturb the peace
So I don't want anyone digging up from beneath
Rejecting interference from others, especially in death
Darling, insist[?]
Unclear expression, possibly referring to resistance
Do not tell me about your issues
Reiterating the refusal to hear about the person's problems
Oh god you're gonna talk about them more and more
Anticipating an unwanted continuation of discussing issues
I'll get some tissues
Preparing for emotional distress with the mention of tissues
'Cause soon you'll be crying on my kitchen floor
Expecting the person to cry in the speaker's space
I don't need to talk about it I don't care
Reiterating disinterest and indifference
But what's this hovering in the air?
Noticing something in the air, possibly tension or discomfort
How can you be so cruel?
Questioning the cruelty of the other person
How am I just a fool?
Expressing self-doubt or realization of being deceived
'Cause I'm glad you came around
Expressing satisfaction with the person's visit
So good you stopped by here
Appreciating the person's pointless visit for bringing them closer
It was really pointless but it proved to bring us more near
Reflecting on the positive outcome despite the purposeless encounter
Now you're in the top
Noting the reversal of roles with the other person now on top
And I am underneath
Feeling inferior or burdened in the relationship
What the fuck's going on? I know this will bring us grief
Anticipating trouble or sadness despite the current closeness
But I can't resist
Acknowledging inability to resist the situation
You and your issues
Revisiting the mention of the other person's problems
I wish I didn't have to hear them anymore
Expressing a wish to avoid hearing about the issues
But they're your issues
Acknowledging that the problems belong to the other person
So now as were lying on my kitchen floor
Describing the current vulnerable and intimate situation
Go ahead and talk about it I don't care
Allowing the person to talk about their issues without personal concern
While I'm running my fingers all through your hair
Engaging in a comforting gesture while the person talks
