Riff: Tegan and Sara – “Now I’m All Messed Up”

Jan 29, 2013

Sick inside wondering who/Whose life you’re making worthwhile

from Now I'm All Messed Up lyrics by Tegan and Sara

Part tender torch song, part dubstep-lite power ballad, the schizophrenic sound of the album’s premier breakup anthem is in keeping with the track’s push-pull sentiment as the duo implore their cheating other halves to put them out of their misery, only to then unashamedly beg them to stay.
