To me this entire album is a metaphor about being in a relationship with an abusive person, being in love and staying because you think you can "save them", but ultimately failing because some people can't be saved. Even the hospital worker and the cancer feel like metaphors to me. They cancer is her emotional instability that doom all her relationships to death. "Called you a hurricane thunderclap" & "They told me that there was no saving you" are people trying to warn him away from this toxic person. The rest of the album has a ton of lines that feel like metaphors for toxic behavior as well. This is just my interpretation, probably influenced by my past experiences and trauma. Maybe it wasn't his intention: maybe it's a literal story about cancer, or maybe it's both at the same time. |
