Prince Johnny is a party boy who Anne Clark knew, probably well. She likes him, but eventually knows to keep her distance because she can't help his self destructive nature, and if you have friends like that, you have to be careful because you can get sucked down with them, even if you're intentions were to help the person. Ultimately, he wants to be a real boy, but doesn't know how. he doesn't even know who to pray to. Sad, touching song. (Also, the real boy reference reminds me of that creepy android kid in Spelberg's movie, A.I., yuk) '...

A woman lost her husband and so far, has not opened up to this new man who wants to be in her life. She needs help as her farm is failing and has a field that has not been plowed. She has a crippled cow and a leaning fence, but this has a 2nd meaning. The new guy is hanging around like a fox under the kitchen floor. He is like a cat on the prowl. He’s the sprightly chickadee who is hanging around the tree. She is the tree. However, she is still grieving her deceased husband. The stream...

A woman lost her husband and so far, has not opened up to this new man who wants to be in her life. She needs help as her farm is failing and has a field that has not been plowed. She has a crippled cow and a leaning fence, but this has a 2nd meaning. The new guy is hanging around like a fox under the kitchen floor. He is like a cat on the prowl. He’s the sprightly chickadee who is hanging around the tree. She is the tree. However, she is still grieving her deceased husband. The stream cannot contain withering rain- her tears. The kettle sings its tortured song - she is crying. He is explaining she will not need to forget about her husband as the memories will remain. He is explaining that loss is a part of life and nature. The trees leaves turn from green, to gold, and then to brown before feeding the ground and yet they make no sound and it is best to adopt this way of nature. Being sad is normal but her life has not ended yet, so he has gathered his money to buy her a gown and bring her to the county fair to cheer her up.

There's two different ways I look at this song, the first one isn't so deep, for the most part I just like to look at this song as one of those funky yet creepy songs, and was in a lot of brony animations I watched when I was younger, especially the ones about the Pinkamena Creepypasta, so when I was younger I didn't think of it as anything much, though like any song and depending on my mood, a song can mean anything, but there is another, more sadistic, not so funky way of looking at this song that I...

There's two different ways I look at this song, the first one isn't so deep, for the most part I just like to look at this song as one of those funky yet creepy songs, and was in a lot of brony animations I watched when I was younger, especially the ones about the Pinkamena Creepypasta, so when I was younger I didn't think of it as anything much, though like any song and depending on my mood, a song can mean anything, but there is another, more sadistic, not so funky way of looking at this song that I sense by listening to it.

The main character in the song "The killer" (No targeted gender, race, age, they are however you want to see them as) is someone with psychopathic tendencies (I believe the "killer" in this song isn't actually a killer, I'll get more into that in a second.) is scared because they are in love with the Victim of the story, and since the singer has psychopathic tendencies/ is a psychopath (not the serial killer kind) , they don't know how to truly love their victim and express their love towards them, so instead of opening up and expressing their emotions, they get intense sadistic feelings about the victim, having intrusive fantasies about doing cruel things to their victim, for both comfort because they know they will never be able to love them, and for their own personal sexual gratification. This also explains the gaslighting the Sadist does to the Victim in the song.. They want to hate the victim so much and so bad so they can:

>1 let them go. They're so madly in love with them and know for whatever reason they can’t have them so they try to trick their brain into hating the victim. But it does nothing and only worsens the obsession because psychopathics usually don’t know how to handle their emotions (especially if in love) so they gaslight the victim to their groups of friends (toxic people tend to have a dozen of friends) to make the victim seem way more evil and cruel than they actually are, when in truth, the victim did nothing wrong.

2: This is probably the sadist’s first love. (or one of them) so the psycho is probably fairly young (teens maybe) and this victim is probably one of their first. So this makes the situation much more intense. Especially if the psycho doesn't have a bad label yet.(hence why they have a lot of friends)

3: There is probably some envy and jealousy going on here. Although deep down the predator loves the victim they probably see their victim as highly intelligent, beautiful, etc. Overall much more valued over the pred.

The second character, the victim ( this character also has no targeted gender, race, age, etc, however you want to see them) was probably someone who formed some type of friendship/relationship with the sadist. And by the way the song is played, they were probably close for a very long time, or the sadist wouldn't really have such deep feelings about their victim. And both of them probably got along very well, suddenly one day:

>1 The Sadist just couldn't handle their overwhelming growing feelings for the victim and just snapped

2, Or either the victim rejected the sadist one way or another, causing the sadist to spiral (or a bix of both) either way, they finally both separated.

(It’s also interesting to mention how later the psycho could later on become some killer and this is simply just their first victim, but sense this is, like I stated, one of the psycho’s first victims, nothing intense in that sort of sense is involved yet, I don’t really think the psycho would soon become a killer, but it’s cool to think about how this could lead to a much darker path for the sadist.)

By the way the singer is singing the song, I strongly doubt the song is actually about the sadist having their victim tied down telling them how they're going to harm them like the song implies if you take it literally. More or so this song is about the emotional psychopathic's intrusive thoughts and fantasies about the victim, that explain why in the song the sadist is debating if they want to hate their victim, or finally accept their feelings for them. They Can't Decide.

(P.S. I would also like to add there is something deeper going on here than just the sadist can't love simply just because they're a sadist etc etc,, there's probably something deeper going on here that makes it impossible for the sadist and victim to get together either it be because they’re both the same sex, different races, religious reasons, or because it’s illegal for them to get together in a sexual and romantic way; if you ask me. IMO I think the song is about two girls. But it's just however you want to see it.)
