Aftermath

My song ,"In a Sweater Poorly Knit", deals not so much with a romance, as with what follows when a romance has come and gone. The first verse uses juxtaposition to show the singers vacillating interpretation of what this failed relationship meant to him. He struggles to recall whether his love tasted "sweeter than any wine or as bitter as mustard green", torn between remembering the positive or the negative parts of the relationship. In the second verse of the song the artist uses the extended metaphor of the two separated individuals farming to symbolize the differing prospects they face in life after love. The singer believes that he will be okay (plants a row of peas) only to find that even with time his life is still lacking. At the end of each verse he repeats the line "the trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead", implying that he was expecting to come out on top after they split, but found himself suffering far more than he could have predicted. I think many people can relate to the same sentiments espoused by the singer after a particularly anguishing breakup, finding that motives they were once so resolved in were not so concrete after all.
