The Loved Ones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we had it all worked out
we had the bad years planned in advance
we had our hearts tricked
we'd worked it out
but then it all fell apart so fast
the power surged
we had it ripped right out of our hands
it took her hostage
and wore her down
we made a wish that no one could grant
and now we're huddled here
naked sore and cold
it's been severe
she had her heart tricked
she had it all worked out
she had her bad years planned in advance
he had his heart tricked
they had it all worked out
that they had years left of happy romance
but then all the needles
and damage done
in the end just lessened the chance
they had their hearts tricked
the power surged
they had it ripped right out of their hands
and now we're huddled here naked sore and alone
and we can't see clear
just the thought of this is sickening
to live out all our years without you here
just the thought of this is sickening
we had our hearts tricked
we had it all worked out
we had the bad years planned in advance
she had our hearts tricked
but the power surged
and she was ripped right out of our hands
all in advance
The Loved Ones's song Sickening is a haunting track that deals with the loss of a loved one due to death or a breakdown of a relationship. The lyrics are filled with emotions of regret, despair, and heartbreak. The opening stanza shows how the singer and the loved one felt like they had their future all worked out and planned, but things didn't turn out as they thought. The wires tripped, and everything fell apart so fast that they couldn't even grasp what was happening.
The second stanza describes how the loved one was taken hostage, worn down, and how the singer made a wish that could never be granted. The third stanza changes the perspective from the singer to the loved one, showing how she too had her heart tricked and thought they had years of happy romance left. However, the needles and damage done lessened the chance of a future together. The final stanza brings both perspectives together, showing how they are now huddled together, naked, sore, cold, and alone. The thought of living out all their years without each other is sickening.
Overall, the song Sickening is a powerful reflection of how even the best-laid plans can go wrong, and how devastating it can be to lose someone you love. The lyrics are filled with metaphors of electricity and power surging, symbolizing the loss of control and the suddenness of what happened.

we had our hearts tricked
We were deceived by our own hearts
we had it all worked out
We thought we had everything figured out
we had the bad years planned in advance
We anticipated tough times ahead
we'd worked it out
We had a plan for dealing with difficult situations
but then it all fell apart so fast
But our plan failed miserably
we watched the wires trip
We saw the warning signs
the power surged
The situation got out of control
we had it ripped right out of our hands
We lost control of the situation
it took her hostage
The situation had a devastating impact on her
and wore her down
And she couldn't handle the stress
we made a wish that no one could grant
We desperately wanted things to improve but there was nothing we could do
and now we're huddled here
We're emotionally and physically drained
naked sore and cold
Exposed and vulnerable
it's been severe
The situation has been extremely intense
she had her heart tricked
She was deceived by her own heart
he had his heart tricked
He was deceived by his own heart
they had it all worked out
They thought they had everything figured out
that they had years left of happy romance
They believed they had a bright future ahead
but then all the needles
But drug addiction took its toll
and damage done
And they couldn't undo the harm caused
in the end just lessened the chance
In the end, their chances of a happy future were reduced
they had their hearts tricked
They were deceived by their own hearts
they had it ripped right out of their hands
They lost control of the situation
and now we're huddled here naked sore and alone
We're in a state of despair and isolation
and we can't see clear
We're unable to see a way out
just the thought of this is sickening
The idea of living without our loved one is unbearable
to live out all our years without you here
Spending the rest of our lives without our loved one is unthinkable
just the thought of this is sickening
The mere idea is too much to handle
