Better Off Dead

Printer Friendly Version
Musically, this one has a sort of overblown, heavenly quality to it. but lyrically, it’s another story of a guy getting himself into a bad relationship that he can’t get out of. he says, w
Ou fall in love with someone who doesn’t love you/ someone who treats you so badly it ramifies your head/ someone who doesn’t want you but won’t let you go/ someone who thinks you’re crazy and t
You so, over and over and over/ if this happens to you, you’re better off dead. it’s exaggerated, but there’s a kernel of truth there for so many people. you don’t know what bad is until y
El that. I know what I’m talking about because I was once a woman who loved too much.

I know some critic is going to think I don’t know what the word ramify means, or how to use it. made up an alternate verb form of it here, like a made-up r&b word, like the puppet
Quot of love. wanted to say how there would be ramifications from something that happens to your head in this kind of a relationship. I should’ve said blamifies or something to make
Eally obvious I was playing with the word, but I just didn’t give a fuck.
