The Smiths - miserable lie

화자는 사랑과 이별의 복잡한 감정을 표현하며 상대방과의 관계가 그를 파괴했다고 고백한다
무엇을 위해 고통받는지 의문을 던지며, 이 모든 경험이 결국 무의미한 방황으로 귀결된다고 느낀다
사랑의 달콤함 뒤에 숨겨진 어둠을 드러내며 현실을 직시한다

So, goodbye
Please stay with your own kind
And I'll stay with mine
There's something against us
It's not time, it's not time
So, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I know I need hardly say
How much I love your casual way
Oh, but please put your tongue away
A little higher and we're well away
The dark nights are drawing in
And your humour is as black as them
I look at yours, you laugh at mine
And love is just a miserable lie
You have destroyed my flower-like life
Not once, twice
You have corrupt my innocent mind
Not once, twice
I know the wind-swept mystical air
It means I'd like to see your underwear
I recognise that mystical air
It means I'd like to seize your underwear
What do we get for our trouble and pain?
Just a rented room in Whalley Range
What do we get for our trouble and pain?
Whalley Range
Into the depths of the criminal world
I followed her
