This poignant track by Tove Lo delves into the emotional tumult of a toxic relationship. The lyrics suggest a cycle of emotional highs and lows, symbolized by the recurring motif of passion and pain tasting the same when she's weak. This vivid metaphor encapsulates how moments of intense affection can blur into periods of deep suffering in an unstable relationship. The line "You're gonna get what you've given to me" indicates a desire for retribution, hinting at her partner's negative actions towards her. Yet, despite recognizing this harmful pattern, the singer struggles to escape it, expressing feelings of forgetfulness and self-destruction. Ultimately, this song underscores the complex dynamics of unhealthy relationships and the difficulty in breaking free from them.
Passion and Pain Taste the Same When I’m Weak
Lyrics
Love on my moods and keep me off the deep end
Mid-summer's pool and I fill it with secrets
You're gonna get what you've given to me
You're gonna get what you've given to me
Watch me break down and then you'll say it against me
Watching me drown like a beach on the concrete
You're gonna get what you've given to me
You're gonna get what you've given to me
Pleasure's got a thousand faces
But none of them will play the realest
Mirror all the ways, I'm lone
Spiking all my right princesses
I'm not even pulsive
Even, falling too fast
I'm forgetful
When it's hurtful, why let it last?
You're gonna get what you've given to me
You're gonna get what you've given to me
All that good shit on the table to eat
Passion and pain taste the same when I'm weak
If you break my bones, if you
I'mma hurt my soul, I'mma
Broken cassette where the love songs repeating
Follow my pattern in darkness, I see it
I see an end, though pretend that I don't
Sayin' I'll stay unafraid that I won't
If you break my bones, I'mma hurt my soul
Gonna fuck it out again and again, hmm
Stop me fooling lies, that I'll swallow down
You're gonna get what you've given to me
You're gonna get what you've given to me (hmm)
Pleasure's got a thousand faces
But none of them will play the realist
Mirror all the ways, I'm lone
Spiking all my right princesses
I'm not even pulsive
Even, falling too fast
I'm forgetful
When it's hurtful, why let it last?
You're gonna get what you've given to me
You're gonna get what you've given to me
All that good shit on the table to eat
Passion and pain taste the same when I'm weak
If you break my bones, if you
I'mma hurt my soul, I'mma
Break my bones, all way down
You're gonna get what you've given to me
You're gonna get what you've given to me
You're gonna get what you've given to me
All that good shit on the table to eat
Passion and pain taste the same when I'm weak
