while it would make sense for this song to be about an abusive relationship, i think it could also be about rape. "if we can't make it open, we'll take it out in blood" like, if he can't convince this girl to have sex with him, he'll just force it. "we will plant brambles in your bed//just close your eyes and count to ten//this is as good as it will get." like the guy is saying 'hey, you know, you're worthless, i'm the best you can do, so just put up with it, because this is as good as it gets for you.' "and there's our little willow weeping//a flutter to your knees" the girl is really, really hurt by everything that's going on, and she's just depressed all the time because of it. "thank you for the warning//but i still see the sun" this girl is seeing/hearing everywhere that what's happening to her isn't normal, and she shouldn't put up with it, and she appreciates the concern, but, at the same time, she still secretly thinks her guy's a good guy and wants to stay with him. "the insides are all useless, but the rest is fertile soil" this is how her lover sees her...her insides [thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc.] are completely pointless to him, and he just doesn't care...but she's physically attractive [or fertile soil] so yeah...just a thought... |
