Overall Meaning

In this song, Hecuba explores the pain and suffering that occurs when love falls apart. The repeated line, "When love falls apart, more than two people suffer," emphasizes that the end of a relationship doesn't just affect the two individuals involved, but has a ripple effect on others as well. It's a poignant reminder that love and relationships are often much more complex than we may initially realize.


The verses focus on specific examples of couples who are facing the end of their relationship, highlighting the ways in which their pain and suffering is intertwined. The lines "he knows it's over, but she knows she's loving him" and "does love fall apart by itself or does it just find someone else" suggest that while the end of a relationship can be painful and confusing, it's often a natural progression that both parties should accept.
