Having ZERO concept it reflects a real past situation, I totally put together a different concept of the relationship between the lines. I thought a man found himself in a dive bar with a younger woman with daddy issues who wouldn't refuse him. "She could never say that flat-out she don't want me". He thought he was doing HER a favour despite himself, because she was perhaps figuratively a runaway and there was drugs involved. And he had to help put her back where she belonged as he realized this was somebody's daughter, whatever her true age. But he felt a bit like a whore and diminished. And there was some kind of sea change for the man through the experience of dealing with her shit, but ultimately he felt like she had major daddy issues because her father made other plans than being a dad and abandoned her so she was adrift in life. "And the life you would not give or break your plans" was that the young woman was like her father, "a squatter". The end. I am so sorry to butcher the meaning with my BS interpretation lol. Also "For your lies at night to sleep between my hands" representing the lack of trust with a lover. Also "Go put it in the ground" reminds me of burying the yoyo in the Kate Bush song Cloudbusting. I mean why not bury it. |

Being in an on-off relationship because the guy can't see it himself that he's being abusive. So there's this girl putting up with behaviour from a guy that is making her uncomfortable. He doesn't say "oh I'm sorry I talked to you like I did and I didn't mean to". Instead he's like "girl what is your problem today hun? What you wanna go making me feel bad about it - you're so mean girl!" Now she's gonna "put it on the line" and confront him finally, knowing it won't be easy because he's done something this time that's super upsetting to her and it comes out like accusations. Then she has to actually confront him and that's the "fire". Now I interpret that it's actually abusive because of the line: "I know if I fell down, you'd change the way that I saw it." To me it means this girl is told all the time that the way she interprets things that happened is usually wrong, because what he does is tell her she's got it all wrong...and that she's actually the abusive one blaming him for stuff all the time! He's so unwilling to take the blame and realize he's got Red Hands in the matter. But then he feels guilty about everything else except for what she's saying he did to her and he's actually being a big jerk and carrying on. Not taking responsibility is the loaded gun and he's chasing excuses. If he'd just apologize this once for this thing "only" - not because he's at fault for every other darn thing in his head. Eventually he apologizes he was blind to "wounding you." But maybe he's still an abusive person and she'll be mad a long time now that he actually admitted he did what she got so mad about! She feels ammunition for her anger now. In the end the fire keeps on burning because instead of feeling better she got new ammunition for her anger. The fire burns, I'm not the one with the match, man That gun is loaded, but it's not in my hand The girl suddenly realizes he's not that dumb - he might actually be a controlling jerk. He really does want to take responsibility and not be so blind to how he hurts people, but can he do it? But she puts up with it again because she knows it's his fault not hers?? Now she got mad about it ans so it only takes a little match to start a real big fire, and they might just explode like a gun (start fighting) when they're under pressure. |
