Cover art for Glory Box lyrics by Portishead

She is tired of the drama and games that come with relationships that haven't reached the level of mutual respect, caring, and surrender. She has played with her share of men, and she is tired of playing. She wants to be real. She wants a real, authentic relationship of genuine care and surrender. She is asking the man she is currently with to surrender to her also... not have a one-sided, power-imbalanced relationship (like most tradition male-female relationships). She is asking him to be vulnerable for her... i.e., grant her the power to see him vulnerable.
