Ethan's Song (Fr
Jason Schwartzman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which brings to mind how much I love you
We could've worked things out you know, in a little room... in a little locked room.
I'm sorry you had to settle for Dave, the one dimenson man.
He's filed under cocksucker in my little black book.
Sweetness can rot your teeth; bittersweet cacophony.
But
You hold the key, you hold the key to my little locked room.
You hold the key, you hold the key... to my little locked whoa-oooh.
Please let me out soon.
I luh you!
The lyrics to Jason Schwartzman's song Ethan's Song are emotionally packed and complex. The opening line, "I love you but I hate you," immediately sets the tone of ambivalence and confusion that runs throughout the rest of the lyrics. Ethan loves someone, but it is not clear whether they are still together, or if they have broken up. The line "which brings to mind how much I love you" suggests that Ethan may be remembering the good times they had together, but this memory is tinged with sadness and regret.
The lyrics suggest that things may have gone wrong between Ethan and his lover, as he talks about how they "could've worked things out...in a little locked room." This reference to a locked room suggests that their relationship was not open and honest, and that there were secrets and hidden emotions that never surfaced. Ethan regrets not being able to work things out with his lover, implying that Dave, the current partner, is not the right person for them. In fact, he refers to Dave as being "filed under cocksucker in my little black book," implying he thinks little of him.
