Love Song
Wingnut Dishwashers Union Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is a love song to every junkie plottin' revolution and to the mutants who live in the ruins just waiting to strike in the night. And we'll struggle. Can only run on desperation, while our livers are rotting, there's banks to be robbing. It's all just empty talk 'till then but I'm praying for something more, laying down on the kitchen floor, or maybe for the end of the world. Well, I'm not really sure. But it seems that's all that's left, to save people like us. To save people like us.
Like us!
In the song "Love Song" by Wingnut Dishwashers Union, the lyrics are an ode to the broken and the falling apart, and also to those who are fighting against the system. The first verse talks about how everything is constantly devouring each other and how it will never stop, but the singer is still hopeful for something more. They pray for an end to the world, or for something to save people like them. The second verse talks about the struggle of the underdogs, the junkies plotting a revolution, and the mutants waiting to strike. The singer acknowledges that they can only keep going on desperation while everything is falling apart. They're praying for an end, or for something that can save people like them.
What makes this song interesting is the rawness and honesty in the lyrics that speak directly to those who feel like everything is falling apart. The song addresses issues like addiction, societal injustices, and the hopelessness that comes with it. The title of the song itself, "Love Song," is ironic because the song is not about love in the traditional sense but a love for the broken and for those that are struggling. This song is a call to arms for those who feel tired of the status quo and want to fight for something better.
