What do you think this lyric means?
The song is "Post Blue" but Placebo. The line in question is: "I break the back of love for you." I think it's expressing a positive emotion, but I'm not competely sure. Help?
Here is the whole song:
It's in the water, baby, it's in the pills that bring you down
It's in the water, baby, it's in your bag of golden brown
It's in the water, baby, it's in your frequency
It's in the water, baby, it's between you and me
It's in the water, baby, it's in the pills that pick you up
It's in the water, baby, it's in the special way we ****
It's in the water, baby, it's in your family tree
It's in the water, baby, it's between you and me
Bite the hand that feeds, tap the vein that bleeds,
Down on my bended knees, I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you! (x3)
It's in the water, baby, it's in the pills that bring you down
It's in the water, baby, it's in your bag of golden brown
It's in the water, baby, it's in your frequency
It's in the water, baby, it's between you and me
Bite the hand that feeds, tap the vein that bleeds,
Down on my bended knees, I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you! (x3)
I break the back of love for you...

it basically is a personification of love. the artist is personifying love with structure. A strong relationship has structure (i.e. backbone)
he or she bends over backward to make sure that their love stays forever strong.

It means..."I work hard for your love"..I think your first answerer nailed it...
here's another way of saying it.....
Calico Skies
Paul McCartney
It was written that I would love you
From the moment I opened my eyes
And the morning when I first saw you
Gave me life under calico skies.
I will hold you for as long as you like
Ill hold you for the rest of my life
Always looking for ways to love you
Never failing to fight at your side
While the angels of love protect us
From the innermost secrets we hide
Ill hold you for as long as you like
Ill hold you for the rest of my life
Long live all of us crazy soldiers
Who were born under calico skies
May we never be called to handle
All the weapons of war we despise
Ill hold you for as long as you like
Ill hold you for the rest of my life
Ill hold you for as long as you like
Ill love you for the rest of my...
For the rest of my life
