This song is about this person in a relationship with someone who's treating her badly.
"It's funny how I found myself in love with you"
(He's doing all this stuff to her, yet she still loves him)
"If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose"
(Even if she could reason with herself and walk away she wouldn't)
"One half won't do"
(She wants this person to commit fully to her, she doesn't want just half)
"I've asked myself
How much do you
Commit yourself?"
(She wonders how much he really commits himself to her and their relationship)
"Funny how I blind myself
I never knew"
(She refuses to see the flaws in the relationship or in her partner)
"If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose"
(He's probably lied to her a thousand times, but she refuses to call him on it because she's afraid to lose him.)
"I'd tell myself what good do you do?
Convince myself"
(She wonders what good he really does her)
"It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends"
(In the chores I think she's saying that it's her life je shouldn't forget that she can end this relationship anytime, but she doesn't want to.)
That's what I think it means, I don't understand what people are saying when they say this song is about animals. There were animals in the original video video with Talk Talk, but I'm not sure if the song has anything to do with animals. I think they were just showing life in all it's forms when they showed them in the video.

>We all need to be heard and understood

You make great points, the part I quoted from your post is the most interesting. Instead of breaking up her relationships- admitting failure she would rather kill her partners. She can't admit she made bad choices or can't come to terms she needs guideance in choosing her mates... insecurity plays a big role.

I heard that Talk Talk was fighting with their record label for artistic control. The zoo animals in the video symbolized the band and how they felt imprisoned by the record label's restrictions.
