I’m happy I’m not the only one who is moved to tears by this song. Amazing and emotive story telling, and takes me back to the power lines and cornfields of Indiana x
The “crush yourself into a ghost that I can’t reach when you’re inside me” was so cool to me because I love the image of fading into a ghost of yourself to escape reality and also it’s really cool how there’s a parallel between the act of a ghost possessing you an literally escaping your awareness by being within you and the act of someone becoming more distant and starting to use you for the mindless gratification that comes during sex
i hate that all the music that got me into ethel cain and that i love most is the music she doesn’t want shared anymore. her show in nashville was amazing though
@@alexreax1230 she has a lot of earlier music that she doesn’t like anymore for her own reasons, and doesn’t want that music shared and she’s taken it down everywhere she can. The fans are pretty strict about respecting those wishes and it sucks for me as a fan from that period because those are the songs of hers i love best. This is one of those songs
And that line about “at least you can still stand to touch me and when you throw you never miss” is so sad but well-written like to me she would rather have him abusive than ever risk losing him by even dodging a blow
I was a therapist, I wouldn’t say my reactions are 100 percent therapeutic, as I’m also just responding as me as a person and the therapy aspect may be watered down, also I have no idea what the song is about I’m just interpreting it from my own perspective, I could be wrong
