Is "Iris" a Love Song?
Some people seem to think that the Goo Goo Dolls' song "
Iris" is a love song.
Personally, I think it's begging for a restraining order. Hell, I creeped out women with mere
sonnets describing their beauty, much less anything with the lines of
You’re the closest to heaven that i’ll
Ever be
And I don’t want to go home right now
Or
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
John Hinckley, Jr., might have hummed this tune were it around in 1981.
