And here it is summed up nicely in a quote by Neil Peart, drummer and lyracist for Rush:
"Along with Frank Zappa, I think that love songs are not only dumb, they're also actively harmful. They invent this fantasy that people expect their own relationships to live up to, and when they don't they result in divorce and low self-esteem and sense of failure and all that, so it's not healthy. Trying to express how a relationship really works, I invented a situation and personalized it. Madie it like a conversation between two people, of whom the woman is the smarter of the two, and made a complex little personal story."
