Felis, thankyou for sharing that, it was a beautiful story.
This song hits home in a way for me as well. I was not ever abused myself, but 2 of my friends were, and my mother was a therapist for victims of sexual abuse/rape.
"Don't touch her there
She told me
She remembers how it felt"
These lines hurt the most for me. My friend shared the events of her abuse, she told me, she remembered what she did. And then the girl moved away soon after that- "Like you left us without notice."
In another case, I heard the story of a girl I used to be best friends with, how she was raped by a friend. "It's not you" for me relates to my utter shock of who the person was who did it to her.
"This is not happening" is an excuse many family members use to cover up the truth that someone they love is being abused- they don't want to admit what's really going on.
In the video, the bear is killed by an evil being, and the young woman transforms into a little girl. I saw this as the girl's innocence being stripped from her (bear dying) and she'd been forced to grow up to fast when infact she's simply a child.
This is such a gorgeous song and means so much to me. Everything about it is brilliant.
