I have loved this song for however many years it's been out. and finally at 39F, I have my own interpretation.
I was in a situationship from age 24-31 on and off. I finally accepted what it was, it kept coming back around. I wasn't gonna end it. the universe found a way to end it for me (technically I did). I also agree up smoking which I didn't think would ever happen... used to tell myself, when that happens I will be the ultimate human being. I got over him. There was sadness and fear and adjustment, but I did it. I USED THE GUN ON HIM.
for 7 months I was completely sober, even gave up coffee. I was single. happy. like, truly. I would go to the beach multiple times a week and literally feel HIGH on life!
after about 7 months, someone I thought was outta my league (and therefore impressive to me) bc I was just so attracted to him, actually entertained the idea of me. I just went along for the ride. however, I fell off. started smoking again. in the past 8 years I've added so much debt. still smoking. still not over this dude that I feel has added a layer of muck to me . I felt I could see thru his lies but I couldn't walk away. his energy is always there ( is he a part of me?). WE HAVE TO SUCCUMB TO THE FEELINGS WE CAN NEVER FACE. I know to get sober again would likely get me back to my natural high. yet there is a layer of MUCK I can feel (his issues? mine?) that have to be FELT, succumbed to, in the process.
I haven't used the gun on him yet. I WANT TO.
@SilverDoe26 also to add, succumb to the feelings we can never face..... feels impossible and I interpret the music video , him walking TOWARD the fire , which seems totally illogical and unsafe, as this action of facing these things that we avoid facing.
once he gets to the car (faces it) , the fire dies down, he gets in the car and can relax Into it.
