Mating Ritual Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there's no reason to wonder which side you should take
You're pushing my buttons and putting my back to the wall
That you thought was too solid to break
If there are, life for you to tell me you're hoping
Without being irrational
I'm dust, everything you say become over
Dramatizing leave it on
Hey, how fast, wanna fight
Enough's enough,
You live in a bad, bad, bad, dream
You live in a sad, sad, bad dream
Hey, how fast, wanna fight
Enough's enough,
You live in a bad, bad, bad, dream
You live in a sad, sad, bad dream
I know it's not easy to be in my head when I'm gone
But you know I like it whenever I feel far away
But it doesn't matter if we are miles apart
I can still see the crazy on your face
If there was, a way for me to tell you it's always
Being a little comical
There's no way for me to tell you
It's over, it's over
Hey, how fast, wanna fight
Enough's enough,
You live in a bad, bad, bad, dream
You live in a sad, sad, bad dream
Hey, how fast, wanna fight
Enough's enough,
You live in a bad, bad, bad, dream
You live in a sad, sad, bad dream
Hum hum baby, I'll be down, down, yeah
Hum hum baby, I'll be down
Hum hum baby, I'll be down, down, yeah
Hum hum baby, I'll be down.
The lyrics of Mating Ritual's song "Mating Ritual" speaks about the complicated relationship between two people. The singer acknowledges that it is not easy to be with them and they know it causes problems for the other person, but they believe that there is no reason for them to choose sides. However, the other person is continually pushing their buttons, and the singer feels trapped, and their back is against the wall. They never thought that they would be in this situation, and up to this point, they believed that their relationship was solid, but now they realize it can be broken.
The singer tries to communicate with the other person, hoping they will listen without being irrational. They also ask for the other person to stop dramatizing everything they say, and just leave it. They plead for the other person to stop fighting and accept that they are living in a bad, sad, bad dream. The singer knows the other person struggles to deal with their absence, and though they appreciate it, they fear it's not healthy for the other person to keep living in a dream world. They believe that even though they might be physically far, they can still see the crazy on the other person’s face.
Overall, the song speaks about the struggles of a complicated relationship where both people are struggling with their emotions, and one person is trapped in their dream world while the other person feels suffocated. It is a great depiction of the feelings that people can experience in relationships, especially when all the emotions come to a head.
