@[Obsessed_Oppressed:48756] The song is probably about drugs but personally, it really relates to my relationship with my mother. "If you want me hold me back" she pretends that she loves me but she doesn't accept me for who I am so she likes me better when I'm not myself, when I'm held back. "I'll die alone but not for you" she always hates any friends or partners I have and I'm sure she'd be happy if I died alone and I also happen to be really antisocial. "Speak but don't pretend, I won't defend you anymore you see" I used to think she was the most intelligent and greatest person, I thought she could do no wrong. I learned from my mistake and I won't defend her anymore. "My eyes don't need to see that ugly thing, I know it's me you fear" she always tries to show me things to get me to be scared of what I am, to try to scare me out of being queer. I know she's just afraid of what I am. "Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail" this one is kind of just emotional neglect and distancing but also the mental and physical abuse. "And so we go back to the remedy" she's an alcoholic and has other addictions(not anything illegal thank god) and really bad habits and I had self harm and self destruction, also later she introduced me to pot through my stepdad and while pot isn't necessarily bad I did it to escape my issues and my bad thoughts. "Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie" Personally, this has a double meaning. One, it's my mom and stepdad guilting me about wanting to leave when they were the only ones who "supported" me, how ever hollow their "support" was and is. And two, it's my friends and many other individuals telling me I should leave and get out of that situation. "And tell yourself you'll be the death of me" essentially just being constantly put down and belittled by her and my issues being seen as just a nuisance. "I don't need a friend, I need to mend so far away" She started to try to be friends with me and tried to get me to open up to her after literal years of being blocked out and having my opinions and thoughts and ideas essentially being viciously shredded. So obviously I just needed to get away so I could fix myself. "Come sit by the fire and play a while, but you can't stay too long" the moments of happiness and love and then the emotional neglect and block outs. "I see my heart explode, it's been eroded by the weather here" watching myself loose my ability to freely love others, feeling like my heart is missing or gone, caused by the situation or the "weather" I was in. "Hold your eyes closed, take me in" The want for acceptance, for love. She thinks she's so intelligent but she just needs to close her eyes for a second to see that I'm not as black and white as she tries to say I am. |
