Formed in 2003 by former London/Sire recording artist John Lardieri, Twin-A… Read Full Bio ↴Formed in 2003 by former London/Sire recording artist John Lardieri, Twin-A picks up where Lardieri left off, but with a new rhythm section and a raw exuberance that the original seemed to lack. Paul Ogunsalu (of Wax Poetic) and NYC session drummer Jorge Pertuz compliment Lardieri’s powerful and compelling voice perfectly. The trio’s unique sound has been described as “widescreen pop rock” Introspective lyrics and melodic hooks set against ringing guitars and breaking beats are what sets TWIN-A apart. Some of the their most recent achievements include an amazing SXSW performance at the Hard Rock Café and a highly attended industry showcase in the UK, as well as a handful of stand out opening performances for national acts like Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze, Vanessa Carlton, The Samples and Fuel. Their music is regularly spun on radio including NYC's Q104.3 and WBER 90.5 in Rochester, New York where their single "Sugarcane" made the Top 50 most requested songs for 2003.

Twin-A played their final show on May 13, 2006 at Crash Mansion in NYC.

Sucker
Twin-A Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I know you don't think much of me,
Although you say that it's in my head.
But it's apparent in your blatant disregard for me
Apparent when we lie in bed

And I lie awake half the night,
Trying to be a better man,
And then I toss and turn in my regrets

Thinking you might understand.

But I will make you love me or die trying

Because you make me feel so worthless
And yet so inspired
I will never be quite good enough
And the damage that you do turns into
Blind desire
I am just a sucker for your love.

So you run around with your crown of thorns,
But don't think I haven't got mine.
I know you found it hurts the ones
And everything you left behind.

But I will make you love me or die trying

Because you make me feel so worthless
And yet so inspired
I will never be quite good enough
And the damage that you do turns into
Blind desire
I am just a sucker for your love.

You just don't seem to know
Where I am coming from
Where I am

But I will make you love me or die trying

Because you make me feel so worthless
And yet so inspired
I will never be quite good enough
And the damage that you do turns into
Blind desire

I am just a sick and twisted fuck,
I am just a sucker for your love.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Twin-A's song "Sucker" convey a deep sense of longing, insecurity, and desperation for love from someone who may not reciprocate it. The opening lines, "Well I know you don't think much of me, Although you say that it's in my head," hints at a disconnect between the singer and their love interest. Perhaps the love interest is dismissive, curt or critical, and the singer is struggling to come to terms with their feelings.

As the song progresses, it becomes apparent that this romantic relationship is deeply unhealthy, and the singer is aware of this. "I will never be quite good enough / And the damage that you do turns into / Blind desire," expresses a toxic push-and-pull dynamic between the two parties, with the singer feeling both inspired and worthless as a result. The line "I am just a sucker for your love" suggests that the singer is willing to endure this pain and damage for the sake of love.

The repeated phrase, "But I will make you love me or die trying," is a powerful reminder of the lengths to which the singer is willing to go to achieve this love. It connotes the idea of self-sacrifice, of putting everything on the line for love, even if it means losing everything in the process. Despite this, the song ends on a somewhat resentful note, with the lyrics "I am just a sick and twisted fuck, / I am just a sucker for your love," hinting at an awareness of the emotional toll this relationship has taken on the singer.
