I'd run with the idea. It's original. Expand on the idea being the judge and the firing squad. Use alot of firing squad and capital punnishment cliches, and then toss out the ones that are too much. I like it, now that I "get" it !! Keep going! It's:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I had just come in from work, and I was re-heating some of yesterday's spaghetti,..... I got out of it that you're accepting the fact that she's breaking your heart, and you no longer have the will to fight it, or try to make it work; that it's easier and less painful to let her destroy you emotionally than to try and patch things up.

Actually, the way I interpret it (from the writters point of view) is that she's not involved directly in the causing of pain etc, but rather the speaker is inflicting on himself (regardless of if a relationship actually exists).It's kind of comforting to know that others are interpreting it differently to myself as it demonstrates a level of univerality to the emotions blah blah blah... I like the subjective nature of music... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
