This is probably one of the most hauntingly amazing songs I have ever heard about one's first true love and the after effects of losing that first true love. You experience so many firsts, so many truths about life, so many things that are seemingly bound to your core with that true love, that even long after they are gone and things are over they linger in the depths of your heart. The struggle this song embodies is that of holding on and letting go, but I think it goes much deeper than that. I think it stands for the fact that even after you have moved on and found love again you will never be able to fully shake that first love. It is a reassuring and haunting concept all at once. |

Stefani has it right. This song is about an incompleteness in one's life. She loves this man more than anyone she has ever loved, but for some reason she still does not feel complete. No matter how bad she tries to get rid of the doubts, they keep popping up, little voices telling her to cut and run, even though the man in front of her is everything she could ever want. At this point it isn't about the guy, for all intensive purposes the guy is perfect, but as Stefani said above, there is a lack of wholeness within herself. And no matter how great her life is with that man, she will never be happy because she is incomplete. Until she steps away from him and figures herself out she will never be fully happy, and she realizes that in that process she will most likely lose him to a woman who can actually love him with all of her self. This song will stick with me forever. As a guy who refused to "leave without a fight" it is one of the toughest things in the world to realize that no amount of love you give can fix the situation, it is just something she has to go do for herself, and you have to move on and continue living. |
