How Much (You Want Her)

Isaac Delusion's song 'How Much (You Want Her)' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the struggle to move on from a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has been deeply affected by a past lover, describing how she 'took the light out of your mind' and left the protagonist feeling 'cold and burnt.' This imagery suggests a profound sense of loss and emotional devastation, as if the person has been drained of their vitality and joy.

The recurring question, 'How much you want her out of your mind?' highlights the internal conflict and the difficulty of letting go. The song acknowledges that breaking free from such a powerful emotional grip is not easy and can drive one to madness. The line 'Sometimes failures help us to learn better' offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that through these painful experiences, one can gain wisdom and strength. However, the overall tone remains melancholic, emphasizing the 'empty long sad days' and the tears that accompany this emotional journey.

The metaphor of emotions being like a 'roller coaster ride' captures the intense highs and lows that come with love and heartbreak. The repetition of 'When it burns, burns, burns' underscores the pain and confusion, questioning whether this intense feeling is love or something more akin to hell. Isaac Delusion's haunting melody and poignant lyrics create a powerful narrative about the complexities of love, loss, and the arduous path to emotional freedom.
