This is a song that scrutinizes abusive relationships by dramatizing methodologies commonly implemented in said relationships from the viewpoint (both conscious and subconscious) of the abuser. People like this are assholes and I hope you don’t ever have the misfortune of getting involved with one or you’ve already had such an experience and are able to identify when a relationship starts heading toward that path. However, the tune of the song is pretty upbeat and cheerful. I like clashes. I think it helps get a point across better. The name implies aborting a relationship (not medical abortions).
lyrics
I would like to rip out all of the pages from your favorite books and burn them in our fireplace so I can heat up your cup of tea and I would like to change out your shampoo bottle and fill it with Nair, so that your self-confidence is shattered, but that’s why I’ll always be here and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me, or never find out, that it was me that left the windows up and killed your dog when we had that drought, I just want you to need me and have nothing else or anyone, complete dependence, yeah that’s my interest, and I won’t stop until I’m done.
Don’t you see that no one else will love you more or ever will, I’m the best that you’ll ever have, so don’t even think of running away, I already systematically have fucked your brain to do as I please, never arguing through all the pain and I’ve destroyed all of your dreams, from your anguish I derive so much goddamn pleasure, it’s like a drug, I probably need you more than you need me, though I’ll never admit to the fact of, if you truly left me then I’d have nothing left, no revival, that is of course ‘til I found someone new and then continued with the same cycle.
