| I Prevail – Worst Part of Me Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
I see how the lyrics can be interpreted to be directed at something that's within the narrator's personality, like the previous comment that's talking about a lack of self love. To me, however, it tells the story of an abusive relationship that the narrator was finally able to break free from. Out of personal experience, my interpretation is that the narrator was subject to narcisstist behaviour and/or gaslighting. They let their ex-partner "in so deep" into their perception and personality, which made them "so defenseless". The following lines describe typical behaviour for these kinds of situations: "You pulled me in with a warm embrace To drag me down to the darkest place" "If we’re being honest you broke every little promise That you made to me, I was too blind to see" "You had control of me for far too long Manipulated me but now I’m gone" After being free from the abuser, working back through what happened: "After all these years, it’s finally crystal clear" - it's like a veil being lifted, realizing the behavioural patterns and how they altered the narrator's perception. |
