I totally agree. It happened to me too. To whom it didn’t happen ? We’re all sometimes on auto pilot with our unresolved traumas. Men and women. To me the first dialogue and the last pieces of the lyrics are very intense and true „But I can't beat ya, 'cause I'm still with ya
"Oh mercy", I implore
How do you do it? I think I'm through it
Then I'm back against the wall“ . She has recognized the pattern, but doesn't have enough .. let’s say self-love , because of our topic :) to break it. She feels naked and maybe abused.. and is in the end allone.
There’s personnel interpretation possible, that’s why it’s a good video and song. But trauma comes from the past, right ? In my interpretation the men she dances a d fights with are symbolic for the unresolved relate traumas she brings into every new relationship. I understand that she blames the man for acting like that. That's human and everything is a process. But she must leave the scenario, she has to protect herself from that destructive and disrespectful behaviour. And that’s hard. If you love, you love. But I guess at some point ..after a leite of time .. it's enough and an open door is just a wooden thing and no longer a temptation. That’s the thoughts I have here.
