Okay, I am a mom, and from the first moment I heard this song about 2 - 3 years back, it SO reminded me of my son. My interpretation, from that standpoint, may be skewed; I only know that it speaks so strongly to me and what it says, to ME. Here goes the meaning that I get from it.
It really is about a mother and son, and the difficulty we as moms, especially single moms, have in walking that tightrope between love and correction. We want the best for our kids (I only have the one); we want them to be our version of ‘perfect’, and so we have to weigh how lenient we are and try to temper our 'hardness'. The problem, as in my case, is with a headstrong child, which unbelievably makes you love them even more, but it makes raising them so much more difficult. The rope, the 'rules', if you will, are hers, and yet while they kind of detain him, you know they won't hold him for long. Again, he is after all, this strong son. He must make his pwn way, and she is pretty much left with her rope, her rules, staining her.
The next part may not sit well with many, but I do think there will be those that understand what I am saying and do not misconstrue my meaning. There is this Mother / Son relationship, and while in no way sexual, there is a measure of a love and a tie so deep, as to rival that of a man / woman relationship, so to me, the second part of the song is now that Rodrigo is gone (maybe at college, maybe just away) and this once single mom finds someone who she likes and begins a relationship, but, most of her life she has been 'leading, molding, correcting, directing this strong son of hers (“I’m the real animal she says”), and she begins to try to mold this guy into this picture of what she, again, thinks is the perfect man if you will. This guy though, he prefers to just slip away … like Rodrigo did.
And so there you go — my interpretation of it. :o)
@LilMsPurrfect you are fucked up and the type of ice head junkie bitch that only someone like you could possibly relate to the mother in this. I feel so sorry for your kids or anyone else in your life. You are sick in the head
