Jeremiah 46:10 10 But that day belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty— a day of vengeance, for vengeance on his foes. The sword will devour till it is satisfied, till it has quenched its thirst with blood. For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice in the land of the north by the River Euphrates. |

The lyrics, to me, sound angry, and for whatever reason I've ALWAYS thought they were about him having a fight with his wife...about sex, actually. Ahem.
Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's too late tonight To drag the past out into the light... That sounds like something pretty specific, and not very loving. (He wants it, she doesn't.) Did I ask too much? More than a lot. You gave me nothing, Now it's all I got And, we hurt each other then we do it again... I can't be holding on to what you got When all you got is hurt I like the song...I like the tune, but as I said, the lyrics, to me...well. This is no love song as far as I can tell. .. Ah, but the lyrics are about love, read over the entire lyrics in this song. Love isn't just about the good times. Love can be painful at times. Love can break as well as heal. Imho the song is about trying to face the pain of not only a relationship, but a world if division and strife in humanity. The overall message is to keep trying to love and to mend/heal/ over come the pain we cause each other. |
