Mequantum and The Hands - But Not For Love

Copied!edit Lyrics

Not for love she cried when I left her
Not for me she lied to her parents
To get out of her room into the dancefloor
Where she should have taught me to dance

Not for tenderness she held me near
Not for me solitude she feared
When I wanted to die with her
But she wished she'd never grow old

Likе a biliard ball she hit me
And a Trainwreck еnsued
Not for love she called me dear
Just to forget it all

Now you smile as if you don't worry
Not a stab, but a slow burning hit
And you laugh at my innocent joke
As I wonder why you left me alone

Like a biliard ball she hit me
And a Trainwreck ensued
Not for love she called me dear
Just to forget it all

"But Not For Love" by Mequantum and The Hands is a hauntingly beautiful song that delves into the complexities of a failed relationship. The lyrics paint a picture of a woman who cried when her partner left, not out of love but for other reasons. She lied to her parents to escape her room and dance, a place where she should have been teaching her partner to dance. The song explores themes of betrayal, loneliness, and the harsh reality of falling out of love.

The imagery of a billiard ball hitting the protagonist and causing a trainwreck symbolizes the destructive impact of their relationship. The woman's actions are portrayed as callous and indifferent, leading to a sense of abandonment and heartbreak for the protagonist. Despite the pain, the woman seems to move on easily, leaving the protagonist to question why he was left alone.

The melancholic tone of the song is enhanced by the haunting vocals and emotive instrumentation. "But Not For Love" is a poignant reflection on love lost and the harsh truths that can come to light in relationships.
