John Mayer - Heartbreak Warfare
Its all about pride, they love or like each other but no one is willing to show how serious that feelings is, instead they are trying to use other means to get the reaction of one another by doing things that would hurt just to know how the other one truly felt, and so the other one will pretend feeling nothing and that the other person will feel bad and the emotional war begins, by breaking hearts. If only one will let go of his/her pride and confess what he/she truly felt then the heartbreak warfare will end.
John Mayer - Heartbreak Warfare
Well, I can see this single represents the whole album since its comparing romance to war. But the interpretation is kinda similar to "Slow dancing in a burning room." but it has a proper plot line."Lightning strikesInside, my chest to keep me up at nightDream of waysTo make you understand my pain"the emotional feelings are keeping him awake since the electrifying anger is in his heart and he's desperate to show how much he is hurt by this harsh breakup"Clouds of sulfur in the airBombs are falling everywhereIt's heartbreak warfareOnce you want it to begin,No one really ever winsIn heartbreak warfare"this metaphor of course describes the relationship/breakup. And it's pointless to make this breakup harmful since no one wins and someone gets really damaged from "Clouds of sulfur in the air [and the] bombs [that] are falling everywhere."If you want more love,why don't you say so?If you want more love,why don't you say so?"She did it because she was mad since she thought that he wasn't interested in her allot "If you want more love." but he really was or can be "why don't you say so?""How come the only way to know how high you get meis to see how far I fallGod only knows how much I'd love you if you let mebut I can't break through at all."he's saying questioning her about how hurting him is going make him love. He does love her, she's not allowing him to show his love."I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonightLet's just fix this whole thing nowI swear to God we're gonna get it rightIf you lay your weapon downRed wine and ambienYou're talking sh*t again, it's heartbreak warfareGood to know it's all a gameDisappointment has a name, it's heartbreak, heartbreak." In this imagery, he simply wants to mend the relationship back by asking her to stop harming and speaking about hatred "Red wine and ambien You're talking sh*t again." Finally, everything is back on track that its just a mistake or thats its not taken seriously anymore since "it's all a game." but heartbreaks do lead to disappointment.
I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonightLet's just fix this whole thing nowI swear to God we're gonna get it rightIf you lay your weapon downRed wine and AmbienYou're talking shit again, it's heartbreak warfareGood to know it's all a gameDisappointment has a name, it's heartbreak, heartbreak. 041b061a72
