A brilliant cinematic song, packed with so many sensible insights.
Opens with a scene from a black and white thriller/horror (reflecting confusion and a shaken sense of self)… Driving alone on a rainy night… alone, except for her expansive troubled mind (crowded head)… She knows she must work on herself… to move forward through conflict…
Her mind’s eye sees (reflects on) her old crying foolish self, the mistake-maker. The ‘I am my enemy, mowing me over’ … The paranoid ‘I’ whose imagination gets her into trouble, ‘towing the light away’ …
She tells herself to remember the confused state she’s in! Not to let it happen again! To learn not to repeat mistakes. To leave behind silly patterns. To keep an eye on the ball so not to let mistaken ways back in again… She must keep a grip on her emotions, her spite, and her crazy imagination…
