@[jamlad:43374] : Same situation (first listened in Suits) here. I like to imagine the song was written for that very episode of Suits. For me, looking to closely at your blind spot is dangerous because you might find out that you are meeting your own high moral standards. The inner voice therefore tells you not to look to closely pretending this song was about somebody else though it is not. It is about the cross everyone bears to have done things he or she would prefer to not have done. In that episode the song can be applied to every of the main characters: Louis, Harevey, Mike & Rachel, Jessica. All of them did wrong and their guilt is coming back to the surface although they tried hard to hide it from the world and themselves. The devil in the details does that the camouflage isn’t perfect or lasting. While the Suits characters need to worry about themselves they keep pretending they need to fix their friends‘, partners’, colleagues‘ problems and give comfort to them instead to their own mind. They put their arms around the others, they protect their secrets although they have their own secret to be kept. Finn as their inner voice leads them to continue believing the others were in need of support although each one knows that he or she is living on the edge and might fall deep and would need to use all their energy on themselves. Although they would love to believe the song was not about themselves they are reminded of their own problems when they look at themselves in the mirror because there they see that „somebody else“ the song is about. They cannot deny the truth like a murderer with blood underneath his fingernails cannot deny his crime. There is not denying against the painful proof: the dead victim’s blood the police can see as the murderer can see it himself. Oh no, no, no! Louis in that episode doesn’t want to look too closely to not see that blood, but he finally does, which is painful, and resigns. Harvey and Donna feel that pain but don’t punish themselves; for the moment they think the problem is about somebody else (Louis). Mike and Rachel are the lucky ones because the painful look at the their moral mistakes opens them up to forgive the partner his or her moral misbehaviour. |
