So, I heard this song today, and I never get tired of listening to it. Oddly enough, I hadn't really paid attention to the lyrics very closely. All I remember hearing is the chorus, and the part where he sings, "When I said that I love you, I meant that I love you forevuuuuuhr." Okay, so that's just the way "forever" sounds to me when Kevin Cronin sings it with such awesome intensity. Come to find out, he wrote this song when he found out that his wife was cheating on him. I couldn't believe it. I mean, who would cheat on him? He's Kevin Cronin!!!! Ugh, so sad. Meanwhile, I took a look at the lyrics after learning that tidbit, and it all made sense. I can't believe I never paid attention to the verses. Wow. He even compares her to a snake in the grass "all coiled up and hissing." Ouch. That burns. Guess she really deserved it. And "those men?" Sounds like it was a habit. Yikes. Well, I guess it's a plus for the rest of us, because it inspired him to write this amazing tune. She probably ripped his heart out and smashed it into a million pieces...which he picked up and wrote about in the lyrics. Touché! Very well-done, Mr. Cronin -- you win!!!!
