about

This song is partially serious and sad, and also partially a fun nod to sci-fi and monster movies from the 1950s and 1960s. I guess that’s how the person in the song deals with their emotions, by turning something like “love gone wrong” into a monster from a movie and making it feel a little less real. It was really fun to write, I tried to make the start of each verse sound like a title to one of those films - “It Came From The Forest!!”, “It Came Out Of The Swamp!!". The only line that doesn’t follow that rule is in the second verse “I Don’t Blame You For Leavin’”, which could maybe be the title of a romantic western instead?

lyrics

And it came from the heart
Went straight for the jugular.
We're all a little ashamed
As we play the part.

And it came out of the swamp
Headed straight for the drive-thru.
As we all tear up
Think about what it means to you.

I don't blame you for leavin'
With so much out there to see.
And while the world is changing you
I'm still the same way how you left me.

And it came from the forest
Broke into my kitchen.
And I'd kick it out
But these things tend to grow on me.

It came from outer space
Straight in thru my eye socket.
I'd fight it off
But I just keep seeing your face.

And it came from the heart
Went straight for the jugular.
And I'm a little ashamed
As I play the part.
