Yes, it's dark. Surgery as metaphor. Frontal lobotomized. Heart removal. Only 10% of love is real. Lots of people wounded and in critical condition. Okay, I'm wandering here, but it's pretty obvious what this song is about

Surgery
© 1998 by David Nyro and Holling Girouard
There's a hole in my heart It's been there from the start All the doctors agree
there's really nothing wrong with me that can't be cured with a little surgery
To take away the pain To take away the stain
To take away the rhythmic remnants of this deadly strain that no one ever saw in the MRI,
or heard in the stethoscope and I hear the doctors murmuring
and I know there is no hope for me...
And I feel a hole in my head. . . it's been there since we met
All the doctors agree, she's made a turnip out of me. But I'll be right with a little surgery.
To take away the pain
To take away the rain
To take away the nagging noises in this useless brain...
that no one ever saw in the right light, or heard on a quiet night;
and I see you shake your head free of me and I know there's no hope for me.
So just put me under now. I'll start my countdown at a hundred now.
And when I get to 93, you can cut me. But you know, it really won't be me,
just some kind of temporary inconsequential dream that flew away
There's a hole in my heart; It's been there from the start.
All the doctors agree, there's nothing really wrong with me,
that can't be cured with a little surgery.
