What effect is created by the song’s combination of violence and tenderness? How would you describe the attitude of the speaker?
What will be an ideal response?
- The speaker’s feelings toward her lover—and, consequently, the effect that the song creates—are quite complex, much more so than we may be accustomed to finding in the lyrics of popular songs. Clearly there is desire, as shown by the repetition of such statements as “I want you” and “What will make you believe me?” and especially the title phrase. There is a suggestion that the speaker’s destructive impulses may be fueled, at least in part, by the frustration of seeking and not finding the loved one. There may even be a hint that some of the speaker’s violent rage is directed at her lover (the word passion, after all, connotes not just emotional and physical desire for another, but strong feelings of all kinds); such feelings toward a loved one may be more common than is generally acknowledged, motivated perhaps by resentment at the lover’s power over one’s emotions and needs.
