An alternative view of a catchy song
If you haven't encountered this song in the last six months, I don't know what rock you've been living under, but it's time to get out.. NOW. Listen to it and watch the video.. The detailing blows my mind :)
So the obvious interpretation of the song is about a guy (Goyte) who's still upset about a previous relationship and his current beau (Kimbra) who's fed up with him constantly reminiscing about his ex.. Well, that's what I think is the general accepted view of this song.
Here's what I think:
Goyte: The thoughts in my mind... all sad and pessimistic and screwy.
Kimbra: My heart that's fed up of being screwed over by my mind's constant over-analysis of EVERYTHING.
Yup... think about it.
Lyrics:
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't want to live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
I used to know
That I used to know
Somebody . . .
Actually, on second thought... this song represents my relationship with STATISTICS :(
Y U CUT ME OFF? MAKE OUT LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED AND WE WERE NOTHING? Y U TREAT ME LIKE A STRANGER?
Y U NO LOVE ME, STATS? :(
I go cry now. Bye.
