Liability

@fra281139 Really? I interpreted something else entirely lol. Wow. Crazy how that works, huh? I see a girl that is fucked up. Someone that always messes things up - somehow, someway, she's a liability. She lies. She cheats. She does everything she possibly can do to always self-sabotage anything good in her life. At first people really like that she is wild and crazy, but after awhile they simply get sick of her antics.<br /> <br /> "Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm"<br /> <br /> Storm = her messy mess of a life and her personality.<br /> <br /> She has a girl at home, that she really connects with - but she was out trying to find someone else??!<br /> <br /> So she goes home but, it turns out, there is no girl. Its just someone she dreamed up in her head - someone she wishes she could have if she wasn't so messed up.<br /> <br /> "In the living room, but all that a stranger would see<br /> Is one girl swaying alone<br /> Stroking her cheek"<br /> <br /> Swaying alone? This supposed girl she is dancing with in the living room? She doesn't exist in real life. Or maybe she DID at once exist, but not anymore. She's gone. <br /> <br /> So essentially, I relate to this, even though I shouldn't. I'm not a fuck up on purpose. But I can see where being a fuck up sucks. You lose friends, people don't want to hang out with you anymore, your gf leaves you - the one that did exist and the one you really loved. Eh. Fucking up sucks.<br /> <br /> So. That is what the song makes me feel, see, and interpret.

@askingtoomuch, I can't see that here. I don't think Lorde is the type of character who would run around cheating on her partner, and the "liability" comes from the fact that emotionally, perhaps, she was a burden. Her feelings were intense, and her intensity was driving love away. She's always claimed to have an introverted person, an observer of society, not really a participant...a wallflower. She said in a 60 Minutes interview that while the song was written about her fame being too much of a responsibility, she felt most people could relate to feeling a little bit too much for somebody at some stage of their life.

@fra281139 lol. <br /> <br /> A) I didn't realize a singers songs HAD to be about their real life sarcasm<br /> <br /> B) I looked up your "interpretation" and it was literally what Lorde said in an interview. So uhm, how about you don't copy her version and come up with your own. <br /> <br /> lol. What a dork. And then you shoot mine down? At least it was original and I didn't copy someone else's idea. Hahaha
