Divorce
Cameron Alex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess I got the gift of gab
But when you shine your spotlight on me
My little microphone turns to sand
And I've killed little baby rabbits
I've killed microscopic crabs
But I never killed a feeling
Like the one you and me had
Now, did you see where my love went?
Because it ain't here in my hand
You need to jet there, darling, between your legs
I couldn't bear another needy man
I got friends in Kansas City with a motherfucking futon couch
If that's how you want to play it
I'm drinking in the dark because my battery's all ran out
All you got to do is say it
Divorce
I could leave your ovulation
To meet Elon and his clan
With his batteries full of sunlight
And his cars that run on sand
And I go weak with constipation
From all the pills and the spam
Though we drink our Mother Energy
There ain't no women for the needy man
Oh, did you see where my love went?
Because it ain't here in my hand
You need to jet there, darling, between your legs
I couldn't bear another needy man
I got friends in Kansas City with a motherfucking futon couch
If that's how you want to play it
I'm drinking in the dark because my battery's all ran out
All you got to do is say it
Divorce, divorce, divorce
All you got to do is say it
Divorce, divorce, divorce
All you got to do is say it
Divorce
The song "Divorce" by Cameron Alex is about a relationship that has come to an unhappy end. The first stanza talks about the singer being good at talking and expressing himself but when it comes to his former lover, he feels muzzled. He has done bad things but has never destroyed a good feeling like the one he had with her. In the second stanza, the singer asks if she knows where his love went because he doesn't have it in him anymore. He mentions his inability to deal with another needy man and offers to leave her to meet Elon Musk and his battery-powered world. He also talks about how alcohol has become his go-to, as his "battery's all ran out." The chorus repeats the word "divorce" as an evident clue that the relationship has ended and he's ready to move on.
Overall, the song is about a relationship that has become toxic and has left the singer feeling drained and unable to cope. He knows that the right thing to do is to separate and start over. However, he feels powerless and stuck in the situation, hence his need for the former lover to vocalize and make clear their intent to end things for good.

Well, in the age of conversation
In today's society where people talk a lot
I guess I got the gift of gab
I'm good at talking, expressing myself
But when you shine your spotlight on me
But when you draw attention to me
My little microphone turns to sand
I become nervous and unable to speak
And I've killed little baby rabbits
I've done regrettable things
I've killed microscopic crabs
I've gone through difficult times and experiences
But I never killed a feeling
But I've never stopped loving someone like I love you
Like the one you and me had
Like the strong emotional connection we shared
Now, did you see where my love went?
Do you know where my love for you has gone?
Because it ain't here in my hand
I don't have it anymore
You need to jet there, darling, between your legs
You need to leave, go away
I couldn't bear another needy man
I can't handle another man who is constantly in need
I got friends in Kansas City with a motherfucking futon couch
I have friends in Kansas City who can offer me a place to stay
If that's how you want to play it
If that's what you want to do
I'm drinking in the dark because my battery's all ran out
I'm feeling hopeless and helpless
All you got to do is say it
Just tell me
I could leave your ovulation
I could let go of our relationship
To meet Elon and his clan
To join Elon and his group of people
With his batteries full of sunlight
With all his energy
And his cars that run on sand
Driving cars that are eco-friendly
And I go weak with constipation
And I feel overwhelmed and anxious
From all the pills and the spam
Due to the medicines and other unwanted stuff
Though we drink our Mother Energy
Even though we drink to feel energized
There ain't no women for the needy man
There's no one to comfort or help a man who is needy
Divorce
Separation from marriage
All you got to do is say it
You just need to agree or tell me
Divorce, divorce, divorce
Getting a divorce
All you got to do is say it
You just need to agree or tell me
Divorce
Separation and ending the relationship

Do you like Alex Cameron ?
His early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Forced Witness came out in '17 I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Cameron has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
In '19, Cameron released this, Divorce, his most accomplished album. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "Marlon Brando", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the Cameron himself

@TheRaybouldBrothers
Alex Cameron is making the most exciting, interesting music right now. It's unique pop music written from the perspective of oddball characters–yet still feels genuine and honest.
