      There’s something similar to be said for being lost in the woods and seeing the same tree over and over, yet you trek on in the same direction, certain that you know where you’re going until you pass that same god damn tree again. That line though, definitely powerful.

    I remembered when my mom used to play this album, mostly this song in particular, in the car all the time when I was a kid, it was the early 2000s and my dad had divorced her, I grew very attached to this song and enjoyed it but didn't think about the lyrics too much because I was naive. I'm in my 20s now and re-listening to this for the first time in many years and now have a better understanding of the lyrical concept, it made sense to me why my mom used to always put this song on at the time. It's kind of saddening now I fully understand the relation between this song and my mom's feelings over the divorce, but I'm also glad she introduced me to this band and be a part of my childhood. So thank you, mom.

I still can't get over her a decade later, even try to rekindle things from time to time in weird moments of desperation, but she didn't love me when she cheated and as much as she wants to act friendly she doesn't want me now either so I feel at least a bit of your pain. I hope you are doing okay man.

    I love this song because of the strong characters and the subtle humor. The male's hyperbolic professions of his pain ("will someone please call a surgeon? who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart") are just so perfectly contrasted to the female's over-the-top logical attitude to the situation ("I've made charts and graphs that will finally make it clear; I've prepared a lecture, for why I have to leave"). Many of us have been on both sides of this situation, but seeing it from an external perspective really gives it a lightness that is both unfamiliar and refreshing.

    Will someone please call a surgeon
    Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
    That you're deserting for better company?
    I can't accept that it's over
    And I will block the door like a goalie tending the net
    In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry
    So just say how to make it right
    And I swear I'll do my best to comply
    Tell me: Am I right to think that there could be nothing better
    Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together?
    I feel I must interject here
    You're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself
    With these revisions and gaps in history
    So let me help you remember
    I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear
    I've prepared a lecture on why I have to leave
    So, please back away and let me go
    I can't my darling I love you so
    Oh, oh
    Tell me: Am I right to think that there could be nothing better
    Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together?
    Don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future
    Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures
    I know that I have made mistakes
    And I swear I'll never wrong you again
    You've got a lure I can't deny
    But you've had your chance so say goodbye
    Say goodbye

    As an emo highschooler I can say that the one thing I loved about this song was that the male was able to feel so much emotion and heartbreak, where the female wasn't the one being emotional. She was being rational about why their relationship wasn't working, thus making the heartbroken guy look like some kind of a fool. In doing so she also came off really cold and distant. But he still carries on being a hopeless romantic for her. I remember as a lonely emo highschool girl, I used to listen to him and wish I could take her place and grow old with him instead. Now that I'm older I've wound up with someone who's equally as much of a hopeless romantic as me, and we're really happy together ♥

    I used to go through girls back when I was in my teens and 20s like I didn't care. Now being 32, I want things to just go back to how they were but with this frame of mind knowing I should have treated the loves of my life better.
    I broke hearts when I was young..and now mine has been breaking for almost 8 years.

  • @modera.torrent_
    @modera.torrent_ 2 месяца назад +1

    This song was, and is, so anthemic of a time, this short lived band whos one album got a surprising lack of airplay, and even is seldom remembered by even those who were young in that era. But of the ones who knew, and couldn't discount its significance even if they tried, it remains truly iconic, and nearly every fan seems to have a slew of memories associated with it, be it old heartbreak, or a reminder of the nature of time and how everything passes, but what is always consistent is the nostalgia of a very distant feeling time from not long ago, which I think many of us are driven to prevent from re-entering the forefront of our memories, in order to cope with the rapid pace of progression and digression in their infinite duelist existence that we only observe but stand soo helpless in, for time can be made more or less efficient, more or less significant, but can only be experienced at one immutable speed, and any perception outside of that fact is merely illusion.
    Side note: Kamala could take a lessen from my comment. When you remove all poetic qualities and relatable relevance from a monologue, all that remains is word-salad without substance. Her biggest flaw seems to be the compete lack of relatability, and I had this realization literally as I was writing it, and noticing the similarities in my word choice and hers. But mimicry cannot triumph pure passion, and performance cannot be genuinely expressed to an audience who gains awareness of the deception and emotional manipulation from the speaker.

    This song fits my break up perfectly. There has been such a long history of abuse and manipulation, now that I’m completely broken and empty towards the situation, he wants to do anything to fix it. Too little too late. I wish things were different from the beginning, he’s one of those people no matter what you’ll have a connection with & you’re magnetic towards each other. We’ve tried for over a year to make it work after we broke up but there’s been too much damage, I don’t see him the same. “Your heart won’t heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures”.
