This song is about a woman who is falling for a man she can’t game.
She’s never played a fair game, because she’s smarter. She says she wants to play a fair game, though.
The part about ‘take the reins, Watch me squirm, you are just what I need.’ She’s saying the idea of being with someone who is her match, her equal, is terrifying. She can’t use him, can’t treat him like a toy. And though the thought of someone having her number, maybe even being smarter than her, is frightening, she thinks that’s what’s been missing. That’s what she really needs.
Sia girl, I hear ya. There’s nothing for terrifying than being totally vulnerable to someone else, especially when you’ve always run the show and had control. But that’s love, right?
I believe this song is about an intelligent yet codependent girl who is falling for a narcissist. She knows the taste of his trap well and she is desperate to escape it this time, but she is powerless to escape the same old patterns of self-destruction.
This song totally validates the "Red Pill" community. Women despise, scorn, disregard, look down on, flout, misprise, fleer and let down men who have the weakness to love them. "I've always had the upper hand" "I can't respect any man"
She pines for a man who doesn't love her, and thus on whom she has no power, and can submit to.
