“Am I Wrong?” – Meaning
The two people in “Am I Wrong” are suffering equally, with the narrator offering advice to the person he’s addressing even as he suffers through his own torment.
His opening words, “There’s too much – That I keep to myself,” suggest that the self-examination and confessions that he undertakes are not actually shared with this other person.
And it seems like the duo are the participants in a romance about to run its course: “It’s like glass/ When we break/ I wish no one in my place.”
1994 – Richard Butler Discusses Love Spit Love, Psychedelic Furs & Todd Rundgren
The distinctive lead vocalist is interviewed on the afternoon of December 3, 1994 by Ken Owen, a TV news anchor in Indanapolis. The talk took place at the bar of The Vogue, where Love Spit Love performed that night.
This couple is unable to make the commitment necessary to get through these hard times, and it seems to frustrate them both: “On my fate/ You give no guarantees/ There’s no promise I can keep.”
The narrator’s angst is represented by an almost complete paralysis and deadening of the senses, as he feels unable to stand or see in the presence of his heartbreak.

“Am I Wrong?” – Conan O’Brien
And yet he reaches out to this other person to try to help her through her own malaise.

In the closing verse, the narrator seems both disappointed and saddened in the transformation that has taken place: “You’re so tired in your face/ You let life get in your way.”
He keeps asking, “Am I wrong,” as if he hopes he’ll find out that he is incorrect, that there is somehow a way back to happiness for the pair.
Love Spit Love – Am I Wrong (live on Conan)
One of my favorite bands that no one seems to know. They released 2 CDs that are simply amazing and surpass anything the Psychedelic Furs have ever done. Damn I wish Richard would bring this back! What a waste that Fortus and Frank are playing in GnR.
But his refrain of “Goodbye, lay the blame on luck” is the final word, these two people writing off their failure to the winds of chance when they both know chance had nothing to do with it.
