Perfect song.Ĭompletely Live & Well Heart and Souls Why I Sing the Blues A Night of Red Hot Blues Ghosts of Mississippi Classics Blues Collection The Masters of the Blues King of the Blues 3 for 3: B.B. Overall, the song is about a man coming to terms with a toxic relationship. Perhaps his emotional state has changed.anger, sadness, acceptance. Third Callback: He feels too hurt to try and break the loneliness from verse 2, and hopes with time that all the negative feelings holding him back will be suppressed for another try at romanceįinal Verse: He feels relieved that all the things preventing him from leaving her are over, but at the same time, he feels like it's the mature thing to do to let her go, wish her good luck on her future endevours and all that, even though in the first verse he was clearly resenting her. Second Callback: He does still have positive feelings and memories of her, but he has to live without her, despite his instincts to the contrary, or at the very least, instincts for social validation and liveliness He also feels that eventually she'll miss him, or he'll be an example of her failure through his future attempts at finding a working relationship. Thrill being happiness, social fun, sex or any number of things.įirst callback: He felt hurt or betrayed by an action - cheating, or perhaps just allowing the relationship to disintegrate through boredom.
