This is a weird song. It's catchy, it's sounds great, yet the lyrics seem like this jumbled mash that make no sense.
"Whatever doesn't kill me doesn't make me stronger" - It hurts like hell and I'm not going to do that again?
"There's one more thing left to try, It scares me and you know why" - What's left to try? The song doesn't explain further.
The only interpretation I can come up with for this song is that it is the inner thoughts and turmoil of a person that is afraid to express their feelings. However, if this is the case, why the hell is the song so "triumphant" sounding?
Here's the scenario:
Verse 1: Man loves girl, but is afraid to express it.
Verse 2: Man proposes to girl in some wild show of affection.
Verse 3: Man still can't express feelings, girl is lonely and bored and feels trapped, marriage breaks up, etc.
Chorus: No matter how many times the man's emotions break through, he builds up the "walls" again and shuts himself down.
Overall...why the hell is this a catchy, "wonderful" sounding song? Is it a play on how our society is becoming simply surface-level relational and that all our emotions are becoming so hard to share because we are so afraid of looking at them and understanding them?
