*This interpretation is about the new video-clip that came out November 29th.* https://youtu.be/sBzrzS1Ag_g This song is about a one-sided love story. There are 3 people involved- Heather (The girl), Trevor (The guerrilla), and our Hero (He's imagination). Our Hero and Heather are attracted to each other, they had a "thing" (probably sexual) in the past, that made the hero fall in love with Heather (1:13). The problem is that Heather is in a relationship with Trevor, and wants to stay in it. The hero is picturing Trevor as a wild barbaric animal- A gorilla. The rejection makes the hero want her even more. He can't get Heather out of his head and gets bummed that she's with Trevor instead of him. He knows that Trevor uses her, and tries to convince her that she's better with him then with Trevor. She says to him "It's not now or never" -Meaning that the fact that they can't be together now, doesn't mean they can't be together somewhere in the future. He replies- "Just don't make me wait forever." At (3:25) You can see Heather dancing with the gorilla's hand wrapped around her, as in she's "tied up", or "taken" , literally. - The meaning of the sentence that repeats (the name of the song), is that our hero doesn't want to know what Heather and Trevor are doing Together. (2:11) The Less I Know The Better. |
