- Cupid's Dead Lyrics-you read the papers today?-
I read the news today oh boy,
About a tragic comedy
Newspaper hinted suicide,
The letterhead read Dear Johnny
A tainted truth was all it said,
Sleep tight now that you've made your bed
An arrow that once pierced your heart
Points to the apple on your head
Three sides to every story
Yours, mine
And, Monday morning's
CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
CUPID'S DEAD
CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
CUPID'S DEAD
Oh, Romeo, Oh, Romeo
Where did our love go, Romeo?
If you read between the headlines,
You wouldn't be the last to know
No mystery yet to unfold,
A paperboy left in the cold
A love was said to never die,
Withered away and just got old
"Our top story tonight,
is a crime of passion
The victim, an unidentified man,
is found in bed, wearing only a diaper,
holding a bow an arrow in one hand,
and clutching a letter in the other.
The letter simply read ...
CUPID'S DEAD."
Extra, extra, extra,
read all about it
CUPID'S DEAD,
Cupid is dead, deceased,
I got peace of mind
Still it's hard to forget,
what it leaves behind
A lot of love lost,
your feelings are wasted,
tasted the sweetness,
but now you're faced with,
the thought, of being alone
Nor more companionship,
you can handle it,
just abandon it,
leave it behind,
and look for the brighter day
Give it some time,
cause it won't come right away
You gotta be standing strong,
hold on to your dignity
Don't sit around,
saying look what ya did to me
It's time to move on,
you gotta continue
to look for a love,
of a life that's within you
Cupid is dead now,
it's time to rely on,
yourself to cope
You got no shoulder to cry on
DEAD

Sleep tight now that you've made your bed
An arrow that once pierced your heart

✔️
When we look deeper into its meaning, Extreme's 'Cupid's Dead' is a profound track reflecting the different sides of love and mourning, and through the death of Cupid, the romantic idealism is to be interpreted as the end of it and self-realization the coming forward part. The Cupid's dead lyrics is mostly a mix of reflection, heartbreak, empowerment, love and despair. The song, however, does not stop at talking about love lost, moving on, the hype given by the media, differing viewpoints, and the truth. The lyrics carry along with them the motifs of tragedy, suicide, and crime of passion which are quite grown-up and probably not appropriate for toddlers. The reference to a 'bow and arrow' and 'wearing only a diaper' is also among the reasons why the imagery is considered adult. Therefore, it is not surprising that these elements are a reason for the PG-13 rating which is meant primarily to alert the parents regarding the content.
