This is going to be really off topic for what the overall theme of the song is actually about (i.e. A mother neglecting her child and choosing a man over the protection and love for her child etc.) But it's something that I always felt when listening to this song.
A while ago I was sexually assaulted (for lack of a better word) by someone that I loved and regarded as a father figure to me. And He is We is one of my favorite artists, I listen to them a lot. While listening to this song in particular I heard the line "Why do I justify what you did wrong to me?" and it really just hit me and brought me back to that night everything happened.
I was so easy to forgive him and I actually tried to placate him and make him feel better about what he did TO ME. It was insane. I just didn't want to believe how much it actually affected me. A mess it grows, really.
