Brain Weasels - Intervention

from SpinTunes 21 Round 2 by Spintunes

/

about

This is not an intervention, but it is a breakup song.

Elai wrote all the melodies and most of the lyrics on this one, and Joy harmonized them. The verses are in F# minor and the Chorus and the bridge are solidly in E Major, though they borrow a couple chords from A Major.

lyrics

Well I'm fairly convinced
Romance is dead
What a pitiful end
To this story
And even as I undress
Another one in my bed
I can't help thinking way back
To our glory

Well there didn't seem to
Be a spark of grief
You're free to take your leave
And yet
You seem to live in my head

This is not an intervention
Just another way to say I'm sad
Just wanted a notable mention
To validate I'm not a passing fad
I'm waging war against me
And I'm not on the winning side
Our memories seem to drown me
Your voice drifts through the night

Well I'm fairly convinced
That in the end
You were not a contender
Not for me
Just couldn't seem to decide
Or maybe frozen by pride
We've gotta save ourselves now
From our own minds

Well there didn't seem to
Be a spark of grief
You're free to take your leave
And yet
You seem to live in my head

This is not an intervention
Just another way to say I'm sad
Just wanted a notable mention
To validate I'm not a passing fad
I'm waging war against me
And I'm not on the winning side
Our memories seem to drown me
Your voice drifts through the night

You've gotta let me go now
I cannot be the one you need
(This is not an intervention
Just another way to say I'm sad)
I need to be alone now
And so you got what you see
(Just wanted a notable mention
To validate I'm not a passing fad)
You've gotta let me go now
I cannot be the one you need
(I'm waging war against me
And I'm not on the winning side)
I need to be alone now
And so you need to set me free
(Our memories seem to drown me
Our memories seem to drown me
Our memories seem to drown me
Your voice drifts through the night)

This is not an intervention
Just another way to say I'm sad
Just wanted a notable mention
To validate I'm not a passing fad
I'm waging war against me
And I'm not on the winning side
Our memories seem to drown me
Your voice drifts through the night

This is not an intervention
Just another way to say I'm sad
Just wanted a notable mention
To validate I'm not a passing fad
I'm waging war against me
And I'm not on the winning side
Our memories seem to drown me
Your voice drifts through the night
