I love this song but my wife somewhat ruined it for me by pointing out this line
"Honey, it's your son, I think I borrowed just too much
We had taxes, we had bills, we had a lifestyle to front
And, tonight, I swear I'll come home and we'll make love like we're young"
I think the line is supposed to be "Honey, it's your SUN..."
Indeed. He sees himself as the center of her universe and the reason she's able to exist and maintain her lifestyle.
Literally every version of the lyrics has it as son
"
The first single from American Electro-Pop band Passion Pit's sophomore album, Gosammer, finds singer Michael Angelakos singing of family financial struggles, including an immigrant relative selling flowers outside Penn Station. "It's about very specific family members, the male hierarchy, and how the men in my family have always dealt with money," he explained to MTV News. "I've always been really fond of a lot of my family members and not so fond of others. All these men were very conservative; socially very liberal but for some reason, they all came here for capitalism, and they all ended up kind of being prey to capitalism. And I'm not making any political statements or anything, but it's ironic and it's sad."
One of my favorite songs from them.
