Yeah, that one word change is absolutely the crux of it.

It actually re-reminds me of a live performance of the song I mentioned that I really wish I could find now. Before the song the singer is doing some banter with the audience (which he is super good at), to tell them to sing along and says something along the lines of, “Someday you’re gonna need this song, and I want you to remember when the time comes…and you’ll know when it comes…that I gave you something. And you can say, ‘so much I love you. So much I want you to die now.’” And then they kick in to the song.

On the super super off chance that anyone who sees this knows which mountain goats show that was, let me know.

In my life I hope I lie And tell everyone you were a good wife And I hope you die I hope we both die

No Children by The Mountain Goats.
The entire song is lyrically amazing. It’s about a divorcing couple who were frankly broken to begin with. And while just reading the lyrics make it seem like a big downer of a song, it’s in a major key, and there is catharsis to be found in its hatred.
