This turned from a cutesy filler I forget about but don't mind to intense and unforgettable when I heard the lyrics properly.
It's a woman who is afraid of her husband. The song draws you in with the narrative of her with a man and a dog. Quickly the settled image starts getting puzzling with the period lines. Looking back, we can tell these refer to her hoping she doesn't get pregnant with her abuser at home. When she gets her period, she's not pregnant. She's less stuck.
In real life she has mace and pepper spray and can outrun any rapist. It's at home she is defenseless and hence needs chemical castration, hope and godspeed.
Aaaaand chills every other time hear NaNaNa after realizing what she's saying...
(Sadly this is reality for so many women. Millions of child brides for one...)
