i think the song is about jealousy. basically she likes a guy and he at some point corresponded it, but soon he traded her for another girl (kind of explicit in the demo version when she says "Think before you blurt out the words you say to her/Because next week you'll be over her"). she still has feelings for him and whenever he's with the other girl she feels extremely jealous and she can't control it and that makes her feel weak. people around her noticed she was acting weird, maybe getting sad or angry for "apparently no reason" (obviously it was the jealousy consuming her), and since she's often portrayed as a good and kind girl, they started saying ("you used to be so kind/ I never knew you had such a dirty mind"). she went to the doctor, probably a psychiatrist, because she was having all these bad thoughts she never had before and it felt like the devil had possessed her. she used to have control over her bad thoughts and feelings but now she can't help but be extremely jealous over this girl ("Finding it hard to fight the feeling") she gave all her heart to the guy and he left her sooner than she expected. she previously knew the guy and must've seen this girl coming, but she still had hopes that he'd fall for her and gave it all to him (notices how she blames herself for her broken-heart "I broke my glass balloon/I let go of my glass balloon") he's a loner and he "was looking for a dog" = somebody to play with. she wonders if he found his "bitch" in her because she feels like he played with her feelings. she says she's loner just like him, implying she has a lot more in common with him than this other girl. the other girl is proud of making her jealous and brags that around ("you used to be so kind/Well baby I give you your dirty mind"). marina says that logically he should love/like her more than this other girl, because they knew each other for a long time and this girl just appeared out of the blue. she's become sassy and telling people (maybe the guy?) things she shouldn't about this girl and she can't help it because "the devil" (jealousy) has control of her heart. at the end, she kind of gives us advice. the chances of having a "sooner" heart-break and losing control of our feelings are higher if we give ourselves to someone all at once :-) |
