| I think that this song has little to do with the physical aspect of Rivers' relationships, or to explain the faults of them by any degree. The entire album Pinkerton to me is a self-pitying source of vented frustration for Mr. Cuomo. Similar to how I feel currently, I think it is evident that Why Bother? is a rationalization in which he believes that "This can't be real emotion, this has to just be something sexual." In the quotes "What's the harm in knowing one more?" He has begun an internal conversation with himself in which he begins to actually consider pursuing the woman of his eye, yet he is quickly reversing his mind when he considers the pain that the relationship will perhaps cause him. He is paranoid of the pain of losing a woman. I feel that this is a rationalization to stay single and not act on one's emotions at all, rather than merely speaking of physical attraction. Rivers was considered a "geek" or something to that degree when this was written, so I feel that I can assume that he may have possessed a low sense of self-esteem that would have led him to write this monologue to himself in which he reasons himself out of a potentially long-lasting relationship. | |
