Another Romeo & Juliet
Pop Evil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love to dust.
Sure as the sun will shine,
And I was lost in lust.
Now I am looking in your eyes,
So black and so cold.
Your words don't mean nothing,
This game is so old.
No drama instead,
Your words go over my head.
Let's stop hurting each other,
So we can be alright.
You're so perfect in bed,
But still you're fucked in the head.
Everything you say,
I can't take your lies.
I can't take your lies.
This is just another Romeo and Juliet.
I swallowed my pride.
And way too many times,
I left my heart wide open.
Now I can't take no more.
Now I guess some things
Are just not meant to be - like you and me.
Now my world is spinning faster and faster.
No drama instead,
Your words go over my head.
Let's stop hurting each other,
So we can be alright.
You're so perfect in bed,
But still you're fucked in the head.
Everything you say,
I can't take your lies.
I can't take your lies.
This is just another Romeo and Juliet.
Everything's spinning. We're falling faster than ever.
We're on a one way track to a tragic disaster.
No drama instead,
Your words go over my head.
Let's stop hurting each other,
So we can be alright.
You're so perfect in bed,
But still you're fucked in the head.
Everything you say,
I can't take your lies.
I can't take your lies.
This is just another Romeo and Juliet
The Pop Evil song "Another Romeo & Juliet" tells the story of a tumultuous and toxic relationship between two people that inevitably leads to disaster. The chorus of the song makes reference to the infamous tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet, implying that the love between these two people is just as doomed. The singer of the song appears to be someone who has been hurt numerous times by the person they are addressing, and is now fed up with the lies and drama that seem to define their relationship.
The opening lines of the song ("ashes to ashes, love to dust, sure as the sun will shine, and I was lost in lust") suggest that the singer's feelings for their partner were intense and passionate, but ultimately fleeting. They describe feeling "lost in lust," which implies that their attraction to this person was purely physical and not based on any deeper connection or mutual respect.
The verse that follows, "now I am looking in your eyes, so black and so cold, your words don't mean nothing, this game is so old," paints a picture of a relationship that has become toxic and draining. The singer acknowledges that the person they are addressing is emotionally closed off ("so black and so cold") and untrustworthy ("your words don't mean nothing"). Despite this, they seem to be unable to break away from the cycle of hurt and betrayal that defines their relationship.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was written by lead singer Leigh Kakaty as a response to a relationship he was in where he was being cheated on. The song was included on the band's 2011 album "War of Angels" and was released as a single in 2012. It received moderate airplay on rock radio stations and helped to establish Pop Evil as a rising force in the world of modern hard rock.
Line by Line Meaning
Well ashes to Ashes.
Things have come to their natural end.
Love to dust.
Love has faded away like dust.
Sure as the sun will shine,
It is a certainty that can't be denied.
And I was lost in lust.
I was blinded by my desire for you.
Now I am looking in your eyes,
I am seeing you for who you truly are.
So black and so cold.
Your eyes reflect your darkness and coldness.
Your words don't mean nothing,
Your words have lost their value.
This game is so old.
Our cycle of hurt and pain is repetitive and has been continuing for too long.
Now my world is spinning faster and faster.
I feel like I am losing control of everything.
No drama instead,
I want to avoid any further drama.
Your words go over my head.
I am not affected by what you say anymore.
Let's stop hurting each other,
We should put a stop to our toxic relationship.
So we can be alright.
We need to separate for our own good.
You're so perfect in bed,
You may be good sexually but that's not enough.
But still you're fucked in the head.
You have deep-rooted issues that you need to work on.
Everything you say,
None of the things you say to me are true.
I can't take your lies.
I am tired of being lied to.
This is just another Romeo and Juliet.
Our story is just like that of Romeo and Juliet's tragic love affair.
I swallowed my pride.
I accepted my mistakes.
And way too many times,
I have done this countless times.
I left my heart wide open.
I gave you my whole heart.
Now I can't take no more.
I cannot handle the pain anymore.
Now I guess some things
Maybe there are things that are not meant to last.
Are just not meant to be - like you and me.
Our relationship is never going to work out.
Everything's spinning. We're falling faster than ever.
Things are spiraling out of control.
We're on a one way track to a tragic disaster.
Our relationship is heading towards a terrible end.
