This is one of those songs that’s going to be entirely misunderstood, much like “Every Breath You Take Was”. I’ll put money on it showing up at weddings, even.
And don’t miss some of the coldest lyrics about marriage I’ve ever heard:
i want to settle down
It’s time to bring you down
on just one knee for now
let’s make our vows
But it’s critique of marriage, competition between women, and that mannequin-like man spouse: It’s so spot on, no?
