My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realise


"You Made Me Realise"

What did you say you'd find
Then come, come, come, get the hell inside
You can close your eyes
Well, you might as well commit suicide

Wait for me 'cause I waited for you
No, that's not what you should do
Don't hate me 'cause I don't hate you
Insane eyes
You made me realise

Something in you died
Well, no, no, no, no fault of mine
Something in you died
Well, no, no, no, no fault of mine

Make the hell out of what you can see
Maybe then you'll not hang beside me
Don't ask me 'cause I cannot see
Insane eyes
You made me realise

What did you say you'd find
Then come, come, come, get the hell inside
You can close your eyes
Well, you might as well commit suicide

Wait for me 'cause I waited for you
No, that's not what you should do
Don't hate me 'cause I don't know you
Insane eyes
You made me realise

Analysis 
This song seems to be directed at someone, I personally believe it is about a break-up due to the person being insane in a sense. This is suggested through lines "you can close your eyes" followed by "well you might as well commit suicide". The first line seems like quite interrogative and suggest shock at her being able to close her eyes and ignore things. The juxtaposing of these two lines conveys a feeling of, if you can close you're eyes and ignore the situation you might as well be die as nothing will ever be solved. 
This idea of a relationship/break-up is reinforced through the lines "something in you died" and "well, no, no, no, no fault of mine". This suggests that the person who he is leaving is no longer fully how she used to be however it isn't his fault. This topic of love and sadness is often used within this genre of music and almost creates an attitude of anger when matched with the heavy guitars and music. This anger is reflected through the high intensity drums and heavily distorted guitar riffs. The lyrics themselves are sang quite softly which contrast greatly with the rest of the music, however, this pushes forward this sadness while the music itself carries a sense of anger. 
This is also reinforced through the repeated use of words with very negative connotations such as, "Hell", "suicide", "insane" and "died". The use of these relate to sadness and anger mentioned above.
