i adore this song, it's amazing.
it reminds me of australian author helen garner's book "monkey grip", in which the protagonist is in love with a junkie.
he's addicted to drugs and she's addicted to loving him, even though he has his obvious faults.
and the more she tries to pull away from him, "the tighter the monkey grip".
their relationship, like the one i see in this song, is a constant pattern of ups and downs, blame and guilt,
love and resentment. there is a lot of inner conflict.
