wow no one commented BEST SONG EVER

it is about how two people like each other but one is hiding it completely being scared maybe for social reasons she will not accept her own love for him and he is saying I dont want to just be friends I want to be something more

I think "and though you're the lion. I'll drag you down " means that she is too proud and he will drag her down to the level everyone shares I dont know kind of a confusing line kind of taking it from the perception of lions being the king/queens of their habitat.

"I'm nothing, like an urn. I'm filling my body with flesh the you’ve burnt" I picture this line being about how everything he does for her she just shoots them down and that is the burning flesh building up inside of him, which is his anger, sadness, all his fading love.
