Romeo And Juliet
Fury In The Slaughterhouse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

you don't need me
I don't know if I need you
you don't need me
there is nothing I can do
I don't think that there's
a place in your heart
for me these days
in any case

all we ever need
is everything we never had
and all we want to hear
is what is left unsaid
and all that we can do
is stare at the stars
and dream in your bed
of romeo and juliet

you don't love me
the way that I love you
you don't love me
I haven't got a clue
I don't think that there's a way
that you can make me stay today





chorus

Overall Meaning

The song "Romeo And Juliet" by Fury In The Slaughterhouse is about unrequited love and the pain of not being loved in return. The lyrics suggest that the singer is in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way and that they are resigned to this fact. The first verse repeats the lines "you don't need me" and "I don't know if I need you" emphasizing that the relationship is one-sided. The singer recognizes that there is nothing they can do to make the other person love them and that there doesn't seem to be a place for them in the other person's heart.


The second verse continues with the theme of unrequited love and the desire for something that can't be had. The lines "all we ever need is everything we never had" and "all we want to hear is what is left unsaid" express a longing for something more and the idea that there is always something missing in life. The singer dreams of Romeo and Juliet which could indicate that they crave a romance like the one that ended tragically in the play.


Overall, the song is a melancholy reflection on love and the pain of not being loved in return. The lyrics capture the feeling of being in love but not being able to act on it and the sadness that comes with that realization.
