Love Is A Bitch

Two Feet's 'Love Is A Bitch' is a poignant reflection on the complexities and contradictions of love, set to a backdrop of bluesy, minimalist beats that have become the artist's signature sound. The lyrics convey a sense of being emotionally overwhelmed and the struggle of dealing with love's challenges. The song's title itself is a blunt expression of the frustration and pain that can accompany romantic relationships.

The opening lines, 'I'm flyin' / I'm flyin' high like a bird,' suggest a feeling of elation, often associated with the early stages of love. However, this euphoria is quickly tempered by the reality of the situation, as indicated by 'But my fluttering wings / Can't keep you from pullin' me down.' This imagery captures the gravity of love's difficulties, pulling the speaker back from their high. The mention of the protagonist's lover's mother considering him a fool adds a layer of external judgment to the internal conflict he is experiencing.

As the song progresses, the artist touches on the theme of self-conflict and the effort to maintain self-control with the lines 'I'm tryin' / I'm tryin' not to forget my words' and 'I promise myself not to slip.' These lines reveal the speaker's struggle to stay composed and not fall back into 'old habit,' suggesting a history of heartbreak. The closing line, 'Cause heartbreak is savvy and love is a bitch,' serves as a candid summation of the song's message: love can be cunning and cruel, leading to heartbreak that feels both familiar and inescapable. Through 'Love Is A Bitch,' Two Feet captures the bittersweet nature of love, with its capacity to lift us up and pull us down, often leaving us feeling both enchanted and ensnared.
