11. Brand New Jude Law And A Semester Abroad
http://youtu.be/ZvzHyHgc4lA There are bitter breakup songs, and then there's Kim by Eminem. However, Jude Law and a Semester Abroad deals with the youthful separation of love; on account of moving away to England (BRITAIN) where of course all the boys are Jude Law. Now, this is graphically enacted murder fantasy levels of separation bitterness but in a far more angsty way, it just might as well be; 'I Hope the next boy you kiss has come terribly contagious on his lips.' Sure, but it progresses from there to 'And even if her plane crashes tonight she'll find some way to disappoint me/by not burning in the wreckage, or drowning at the bottom of the sea.' All the while conflictedly boasting that all the English boys she should meet should know she had an American back in the states she used to date who would do anything she'd say. Oh, youthful love. 10. Pantera This Love (NSFW)
http://youtu.be/tymWpEU8wpM Now, as breakup songs this verges on cruel obsession, intentional love/hate, and hell maybe even a murder ballad murder ballads traditionally contain some serious breakdowns. The opening lyrics in themselves admit that 'If ever words were spoken/Painful and true/I said I loved but I lied.' It doesn't get much better from there in all honesty as the love of which he lied becomes possession and nothing more. Though, of course these could be bitter words trying to save face, but the ferocity with which Anselmo delivers the chorus of hurting her and being made so unhappy with her. This is either on the most aggressive breakup songs or fucked up love songs. Your call. 'I'd kill myself for you/I'd kill you for myself.'
