Arctic Monkeys - too much to ask

노래는 사랑이 식어가는 과정과 그로 인한 갈등을 중심으로, 과거의 행복했던 기억과 현재의 어두운 감정을 비교합니다
서로의 눈물과 분노가 커져가면서 앞으로의 관계에 대한 불확실성이 커지고, 주인공은 과거의 감정을 회복할 수 있을지 고민합니다
결국 사랑의 미래가 불확실하다는 점이 강조됩니다

The smiles as she walked in the room
Have all turned into frowns
Am I too quick to assume that the love is no longer in bloom?
The tantrums and the tears play a very different tune
To what they did before, her head's red raw
And the ending doesn't sound like the happiest around
When you sobbed before
It felt much more like the product of a squabble
Now there's reason for it to be something more
And there would be, oh, it's uncertain
Whether the curtain has shut for good
She said, "See if it's still raining, I'm not dressed for it"
And, "If you loved me–"
And I interrupted, received a scowl and stare
But still decided to stop her there
Would it be outrageous to say
We're either shouting or we're shagging?
Docked in tempestuous bays
Or at least that's how it felt yesterday
The eyes are getting heavier
And whether you're asleep or awake
