    "We Both Go Down Together"
    Here on these cliffs of Dover
    So high you can't see over
    And while your head is spinning
    Hold tight, it's just beginning
    You come from parents wanton
    A childhood rough and rotten
    I come from wealth and beauty
    Untouched by work or duty
    And oh, my love, my love
    And oh, my love, my love
    We both go down together
    I found you, a tattooed tramp
    A dirty daugher from the labour cans
    I laid you down on the grass of a clearing
    You wept but your soul was willing
    And oh, my love, my love
    And oh, my love, my love
    We both go down together
    And my parents will never consent to this love
    But I hold your hand
    Meet me on my vast veranda
    My sweet, untouched Miranda
    And while the seagulls are crying
    We fall but our souls are flying
    And oh, my love, my love
    And oh, my love, my love
    And oh, my love, oh my love
    And oh, my love, my love
    We both go down together

    My beloved chipmunk Sergeant Jitters and i used to love to listen to this song together before she died of mesothelioma and is now dead, having passed on to the land of death and the dead, deadly. I can't hear this song without seeing her smile. Rest in power in that great birdfeeder in the sky, Jitters, for you're now dead.

    while jumping off the cliffs of dover or other forms of dramatic pact suicide have occurred the message in these songs so often is for the living.
    how far is devotion? how much can love be measured?
    if your passion is serious enough can it live through utter rejection by those around you? can you die to the world and all its expectations in order to gain each other? can you survive your own expectations of each other.
    can you not only die for love, but in all the years that follow can you live for love? can you live for each other?

      dude it was a murder suicide, the narrator raped his "love"- "you wept but your soul was willing"

    • @essimathews9056

      Hard to say. Lots of people cry when overwhelmed by a lot of things. It’s possible that he assumed that it was consensual, and it wasn’t. It’s also possible that they had an emotional moment and he says “her soul was willing” because he asked. There’s not a lot of context either way

      @@essimathews9056 I'd say that both interpretations are possible, but given the song is narrated by the wealthy guy her soul being willing is probably his perspective, not fact/her perspective. As you say, he may have gotten some kind of verbal consent, or she just may have been emotionally overwhelmed but none of that is explicitly stated. Ultimately, it's art and I think it's best to stick to whatever interpretation you like best.
      That said, I think that Colin has commented before that the narrator is a sociopath so that suggests the murder suicide perspective.
