I've been thinking about this song for a few days, as I cannot get it out of my head. I'm finding what makes music so meaningful is our independent ability to relate to lyrics and melody. The two singers are in love with each other, they both feel the strong connection. She's more guarded than he (which is why I tink we see the sickness reference in the first lines), but seems to give it shot, yet still not completely letting her guard down. They go around and around w/ their emotions. she's confused and conflicted if she wants to pursue things still, and he calls her out on it--that's when we see his frustration. On his end, he's frustrated b/c he knows how he feels, but just can't seem to understand what needs to happen in order for each of them to just let go. To me it's obvious that each of them has been hurt in the past as well as hurt others, and there's this fear that it will happen again, which again is why there's this dance in their relationship that they each know they truly want to get past, but are confused as to how to do so. You see this in parts of the song where it's a duet--that verifies they're thinking the same thing and have the same fears--just in different manners, and the video helps explain this because they're both alone, but in similar settings w/ the bathtub/bathroom. It's amazing that they can have the same exact lines, but with completely different meanings behind them...in the end they're in love. Love, its a Mother F&*ker.... |
