about

This is my reflection on the pointlessness of marriage. I have no problem with love, and I understand marriage is a statement of love between two people. But, to me it seems that marriage is some type of box to be checked in the “successes” of life. It’s social coercion. It’s a conservative and archaic institution, where people can be forced to “make it work” when there’s no real need to. You get a job, get married, buy a house, have kids, try to pay off your accumulating debt and die. And society encourages it. It’s suffocating. It feels like there should be more to life.

lyrics

Another aspiration that’s doomed for failure
A chokehold in the arms of embrace
So raise your glass to the unhappy couple
Throw away your life and throw your bouquet

Down the aisle, down the rabbit hole
A dead-end road all have walked and wed
In sickness and health as you both shall live
Until you’re made to wish you were dead

Get a job, get married
Get a house, reminisce
Have kids, get buried
There must be more to life than this

Make the leap
An afterthought, of the darkness we fell into
Lo-o-ove is a noose for two
Stick out your neck
Tie the knot, become entangled till we turn blue
Lo-o-ove is a noose for two

As the happiness fades away with the years
And the bitterness starts to augment
In your houses built on foundations of debt
Homes built to cover resentment

Insecurities build up with time
Ticking bomb of mutual loathing
And every step you take is like a fucking landmine
Here’s to your simmering betrothing

Get a job, get married
Get a house, reminisce
Have kids, get buried
There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this
There. Must. Be. More. To. Life

Make the leap
An afterthought, of the darkness we fell into
Lo-o-ove is a noose for two

Stick out your neck
Tie the knot, become entangled till we turn blue
Lo-o-ove is a noose for two

Here’s to another failed union
Here’s to another rolling stone
Here’s to your dated institution
Here’s to your future broken home

She was hanging high with me
She was hanging high with me
We were hanging high
