I think I can agree on love not being all that it's hyped up to be, but that stuff about the shit that it always transmutes into over time...? I get what he's referring to, seen it as well, but I've also seen plenty of cases where it didn't turn out like that. At this point I'm probably only arguing semantics, but I guess he just never got out of that whole messy initial infatuation stage and reached the safe point of a steady and satisfying relationship. Or am I mistaken and long-term love really is just a hoax well played by a billion actors?
And could somebody enlighten me about that Orpheus reference? All I can remember about him is that he blasted the Sirens away with his Greek punk rock. Cute, but not the first thing that would come to my mind when thinking of love.
