No one has another view of this song?

How bout a more abstract, sinister interpretation of an abusive relationship, one who controls his partner, forcing her into situations and making choices for her. Someone who doesn't have the self esteem to live his own life with his own personality, instead taking a woman's over. "strumming my pain with his fingers, telling my life with his words."

how bout dat shit

@BigJerty Of course we all know the backstory of the song and how it was written about Don McClean, blah blah blah. But I agree, how about we think a little more deeply!!!
