Iris likes this song. Do you? What is it about?

 
Give me love like her
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt
Told you I'd let them go
And that I'll fight my corner
Maybe tonight I'll call ya
After my blood turns into alcohol
No, I just wanna hold ya
Give a little time to me or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
Give me love like never before
'Cause lately I've been craving more
And it's been a while but I still feel the same
Maybe I should let you go
You know I'll fight my corner
And that tonight I'll call ya
After my blood is drowning in alcohol
No I just wanna hold ya
Give a little time to me or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
Give a little time to me, or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My my, my, my, oh give me love
Of all the money that e'er I had
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of width
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that ever I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that ever I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ought to be
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all

  2. You don't have to be sorry. Music, like all kinds of art, is purely subjective.

    1. BTW, try to find the meaning of the song on Google and tell me if you understand.

  3. The problem is not that understanding Poetry is subjetive. The difficulty is that poets are always telling stories so personal that they keep the meanings for themselves.

  4. There can be two interpretations, the simplest is that the girl commits suicide after being abandoned by her lover and since all she wants is to give and receive love, she has the opportunity to be a guide for many by transforming into a cupid/angel.
    On the other hand, it reflects a sad love story, a story of loneliness, of frustration, of not knowing how to deal with the feeling of abandonment or the ups and downs of love. There is an internal struggle of not knowing if you should fight for something that has already been lost or if you should let it go. Since the girl wants love so much, she metaphorically becomes a cupid to at least help others, since we all need a little of that romantic love and many times, we don't dare to take the step. This song with its video clip illustrates precisely that moment of uncertainty in which you want something, but you don't have the necessary tools to launch yourself. Unfortunately, despite sharing so much love, she is the most affected, since she is alone and, in an attempt, to use the same magic on her, she dies as it doesn't work.

    1. This is very good as usual.
      There are a couple of things I don't understand.
      - almost at the end when you say the necessary tools to launch..., maybe you mean to achieve what you want?
      - the most affected? The one who gains the least?
      - after attempt you don't need a comma.
      Thanks so much.
