"Love Interruption"----> a song review

I want love to: roll me over slowly,
Stick a knife inside me, and twist it all around.
I want love to: grab my fingers gently,
Slam them in a doorway, Put my face into the ground.
I want love to: murder my own mother,
Take her off to somewhere, like hell, or up above.
And I want love to: change my friends to enemies,
Change my friends to enemies, and show me how it's all my fault.

because of a certain relationship, the singer is now addicted to pain & the intense sensation of feeling threatened.. he is saying this: i love the feeling of rolling around on the ground, so lost in my own heightened vertigo, and then someone thrusts me with a jinzhou filleting knife. don't we all love that feeling i often wonder. if we don't we should because no one has experienced the pinnacle of life until you've been poached and ravaged deeply by sooo many people. i love getting my delicate digits smashed and broken in a metal doorway as well. i think the singer is speaking about a certain type of love that can occur between two regular people or say a woman & her grandpa rarely. sometimes the loved one feels as if she has had her face smashed and pulverized into the asphalt. it is not an "interruption" of love, but a manifestation of some deep latent hiccups, really. the love is always there.. it just emerges in a more violent form than say, a gentle caress or the cradling of our buttocks. sometimes we need to get these things out of us that we have been yearning to do for years. the singer is saying that his loved one should murder his mother, possibly admitting that this is an unusual type of love... unless he calls his girlfriend mommy, in which case it is completely normal. he is also saying that he wants love to transform his great friends into a tribe of slobbering, fanged savages.. he thinks that it would make him a more well-rounded person if his pals hate him too. he realizes that most everything in life is his fault, so at least he is self-aware. the singer cherishes feeling bludgeoned by love and he does not believe this is a problem. in fact, it's the state of mind he has learned to love.

And I won't let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I won't let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
Yeah I won't let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me, anymore.

two things happening here: 1. he is trying to appease the people who tell him that his philosophy regarding love is "wrong". he is telling them what he thinks they want to hear, in order to get them off his back. it is as if he is saying, "i won't allow love to make me into a beast anymore" and "i won't hurt her and she won't hurt me" and "you are right and we won't allow misery to interrupt our love anymore", etc.. but.. now we come to 2. he knows veryy well that he will continue his course of loving his loved one in exactly the manner he has been demonstrating -only more visibly. so what he is REALLY saying is that he won't let his friends attempts to control his actions, which some consider to be loving, interrupt him anymore. he is saying that he will never take a break from his determination to love his lover in every way possible, even when his actions are viewed as "non-traditional" and torturous. he knows she and he share an unspoken pact about their love. sometimes certain individuals THINK he behaves in ways that appear as if he is disruptive & corrupt.. but their abrupt eruptions are the interruptions. they are guilty of premature evaluations. basically, these people all need to get to know him better and then they wouldn't judge him so harshly. he is saying that their attempts at controlling him are the "love interruptions".. let him love her in his own way. he doesn't want anyone or anything to halt or hinder his attraction to suffering. he is saying, "don't interrupt my pain with your attempts at 'love'".

I want love to: walk right up and bite me,
Grab a hold of me and fight me, leave me dying on the ground.
I want love to: split my mouth wide open,
And cover up my ears and never let me hear a sound
I want love to: forget that you offended me,
Or how you have defended me when everybody talked me down
Yeah and I want love to: change my friends to enemies,
Change my friends to enemies, and show me how it's all my fault.

he asked his love to please tell his friends to desert him and treat him like dust.. he wanted her to lacerate his nerfish lips and fight him with an army and leave his blind eyes glazed & agog.. his oozing sores are covered with dirt & grim and he only imagines hissing cockroaches in his acidic brain matter. this is more evidence of him being addicted to agony because his lizard brain ASKS for it. when he gets hurt, his adrenaline surges and he only wants more. he begs his love to please kill him, so that he can feel the burn of actual death. when a person has been living under severe stress for a very extended period of time his brain transforms into a gigantic pre-frontal cortex. this part of his brain, his "primitive" brain, has been in charge for far too long & it totally takes over. his chemistry has been altered due to constantly feeling threatened & abused by love and he is now hard-wired to desire constant pain. this state of high-alert has become "normal" and it appears as if his calm, reasonable, thinking brain has been disabled. the reptilian portion of our brain is only usually supposed to be active in small doses. normally, it does not think about life in the long-term as it is the section of our brain which protects us in a fight or flight mode. over the years, his brain has trained him not to think anymore, it just wants him to act by screaming "bring me torment!" he is now a complete reptile and he doesn't want anyone to screw with the pain he considers to be love.

Yeah I won't let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I won't let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
Yeah I won't let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me, anymore.

he is addicted to the excruciating feelings that his love brings him and he would never want anything to interrupt this. now: bite me, hard.
