What's meaner: Wrong or GYOW

Gerald, that's a reference to the lines, "Do you ever wonder/do you ever hate" in The Ledge.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I am leaning toward concluding The Ledge is the most vicious song of them all. Lindsey is saying bluntly, "You're never gonna make it, baby." As if he's saying: "Hey, foggheddaboutit if you think you can go solo and be successful without me." Ouch. Even I have to admit that's pretty mean. But, hey, it's a great song to my ears nonetheless.

"What Makes You Think You're the One" pales in comparison. It's more of a sardonic, "Hey, just who the hell do you think you are? Some kind of star?" Seems to be pointing to the perceived hubris of the target subject.

Great, powerful stuff.

I never took these as references to her career. I always heard "never gonna make it baby" as a reference to her as a person. And this song is whiney, too! "You can love me baby/ but you can't walk out"...wah! And of course, she DID walk out!

And while we're on this, what do we think about "six feet under/ someone who can wait"? I mean obviously someone who is dead can "wait" but what do we think he's getting at?

I'm still going with WMYTYTO, and part of this is the delivery. Even the title! And of course the live versions of this I've heard are heart wrenching! He's just up there bleeding!
