This strikes me as somebody she’s scared of, someone who tramples her to keep her in line, has her dote on him.
“Perfect beauty” laid before me…. Is he a narcissist?
“I’m too scared to breathe I might do something wrong”
“I feel every second is a lifetime long”
When I lay with someone I love, every hour is a minute long. This seems the opposite for her.
But then…
“ Living underneath this guilt
I can't leave a house that I have built
Though I feel it sinking further everytime
And the weight of my mistakes
Means that everything I touch breaks
I don't want to see you as the next in line”
Did she cheat on him?
Is she leaving him for someone else?
Has the lyrical focus switched to somebody else?
Maybe she cheated on this dude in the past and as a result he has become controlling and psychotic to the point where she’s afraid to leave him because of what his insecurities and trust issues turn him into.
Sadly, that last paragraph could just be projection, because that’s exactly how it was for me.
The problem is now whenever I hear this song I can’t help but relate to that last verse so heavily it’s hurts to think about
