I like to imagine this is a song about healthy love after multiple generations of bad ones. She’s been taught to bite the hand of anyone who comes close, to always defend herself. There’s a truama response in this, ‘it’s a habit, I can’t help it.’ refusing love you so desperately want.
She’s warning her lover she can’t love, she won’t love. Even if she can’t show it, she still begs them to stay.
She doesn’t want to be a bad person like all of the people before her. She’s so stressed with meeting the wrong person she’s failing at this. She’s becoming cruel, vain, and angry just to protect herself from an invisible danger.
