Yes, the lyrics are about wanting to kill his wife, and about his feelings at the time.
But neither of those things is wrong. You’re allowed to want to do those things, the important part is what you actually do. Such as writing a song about it instead. The entire point of art, or at least one of them, is to take these strong, raw emotions and do something with them besides the strong, raw thing you truly want to. These violent lyrics don’t mean he believes murder is right or others should murder. If he thought that, he’d probably have murdered his wife, instead of writing a fantasy, a fiction, about it.
Now, we can make an argument that using Hailey in the song is a bit off, sure. That is not, and has never been, your argument however.
Indeed.
Point to where I said anything about it’s morality, I’ll wait.
No part of your speech was ever my point or even mentioned by me.
If it’s not wrong, what’s your point? Why’s it got you all in a twist if it’s not wrong? People don’t put in such a show condemning a thing if they don’t think it’s wrong, so either grow a spine and stand by what you’re clearly projecting into the world, or stop moaning.
This shit is art, not a literal retelling of a thing that happened. Even if it does mirror the thoughts and feelings at the time, it’s absolutely still embellished, and even if it wasn’t, no one was hurt (except arguably Hailey, again different argument) so I really don’t see the problem.
My point was it is not more nuanced then that, that’s all. Stand by your bullshit argument and point to where I condemned it or shut the fuck up big man.
No one says it is always literal, in this case the very post your commenting on has the artist admitting that is the way he actually felt at the time so in this case it’s quite literal.
You don’t know what you’re even arguing about but I do enjoy the unearned confidence.
