We cant even say two words without a fight anymore

The lyrics of Derrick Harriott's song "The Undertaker" speaks about a couple who are facing trouble in their relationship. The singer addresses his partner, telling her that there is no need to look through his phone, as if something was happening, she would already know. This implies a lack of trust between them. The couple is unable to talk without ending up in a fight, and the singer seems confused about how they reached this point in their relationship. He wants to know what happened and how to fix it. The chorus, "On the other side of love, you tell me you hate me, and I hate you more" highlights the bitterness and resentment they both have towards each other at this point.
The song portrays the downside of a relationship when trust is broken, and communication becomes impossible. It expresses the feelings of hurt, anger, and frustration that come with the collapse of a once-loving relationship. Ultimately, the song serves as a reminder that love can be a double-edged sword, capable of bestowing happiness and sorrow, and that the only way to work through it is with communication, trust, and understanding.
