I don’t think about puppets when I hear this song. Altho it being an upbeat song it’s very sad. This will be a common song choice for your ex if they have an avoidant attachment style. They will use this song to try to convince themselves they did the right thing by running away and that it is making them happier.

Avoidants feel very triggered about loosing their independence whey they feel either obligated to someone else and feel burdened when the see that their actions have hurt someone they care about.

Being alone, away from a partner who triggers your insecurities is the easy more selfish option rather than being emotional mature and working through your issues by communicating your feelings and looking at yourself to improve. Having no strings doesn’t mean your better off, it just means you have nobody to help you face your trauma. They will do anything they can think of to avoid it.

People ultimately all want to be connected to someone especially fearful avoidants who have a very deep longing for intimacy yet have a visceral reaction to the fear of being loosing their independence and being vulnerable.
