He's an asshole and I hate him.
"AcTuAlLy I'Ll Do It AlL" fuck off already Paul.
so i was wondering who 50 ways to leave your lover could be about.

according to this 2011 independent article it’s not about peggy harper, who was paul simon’s wife at the time.
and in the 1972 rollingstone interview simon said peggy helped him build up the courage to leave simon&garfunkel and set off on his own, which resonates curiously with what the unnamed woman says to the narrator in the song.


the chorus is interesting too, considering that garfunkel has said that he wasn’t even aware of the simon&garfunkel breakup initially - they parted ways and that was that. simon just left, much like the narrator of the song.

the implication is there is all i’m saying 🤔
