    This song and basically the entire album Magdalene was surrounded around love, heartbreak, release and finding yourself back in regards to the highly publicized relationship she had with Robert Pattinson. The entire video is metaphorical and adopts imagery to tell a story of what led to the downfall of their love. When the two dated, the internet mocked her for the longest implying she wasnt good enough for him. Fka twigs is very creative but quirky in general and it's evident in her aesthetics and creative work. She comes out onto a stage to dance wearing a traditionally sexy/beautiful outfit, perfect curls, and makeup (unusual for Twigs who is usually dressed very much in her own unconventional style). That's because in a way, Twigs is giving the public the image exactly what they wanted from her this entire time: a perfect, feminine beauty that is there to give and entertain, just like the song's lyrics (they want to see us). The relationship was highly publicized and scrutinized, and she's essentially putting on a show for everyone because that's what the media, papparazzi, online expected her to be. hence the pole dancing as a metaphor for putting on a provocative, alluring show for the public eye. Then, as the pole begins to warp, she tries harder and harder to keep up with it... I think the robot that comes up is her true self, odd, offbeat, and not so 'perfect'. When she stomps into it to get rid of it, she loses balance and falls downwards. There you can see an arm trying to hold her (presumably her ex-lover) but she keeps falling and falling until she lands into a pit of mud. The word cellophane implies a packaged good, like sweets or chocolate, meant to be consumed. Celebrity relationships are a lot like that too - the line between personal and public is so distorted and their actual private life becomes a commodity to be consumed. I think that the pit of mud and the women crawling towards her are wearing masks to represent the vile anonymous online hate Twigs received. Finally, they managed to pull her down to their level, reducing her to the color of her skin aka the brown clay (her being a woman of color was a big reason behind the majority of her online abuse) Note their eye makeup is green too, like the color of envy. I love that she uses the masks to symbolize the deceitful nature of anonymity over the Internet... I feel like Twigs tried really really hard in her relationship despite all the eyes that were on her, but in the end she just could not become the puppet that the public eye wanted her to be for them. Eventually, this tore apart at her relationship and she had to let go and chose herself over her partner

    by the way this song is allegedly about her relationship with Robert Pattinson, who played Edward in the twilight series and he’s the new Batman. When they were together, a lot of his fans became racist towards her and were mad he was in a relationship basically, so it was like people were waiting for their downfall! 🥺 like I think “share our love” refers to how the public affected their relationship

  • @vulniguta
    @vulniguta 2 роки тому +98

    This song is very emotional and it makes a lot more sense when you listen to the whole album; FKA twigs received incessant criticism for her relationship with actor Robert Pattinson, mainly from his fans, and also, in that time, she had uterine fibroids, so she was in a very emotional and vulnerable place. You could say this song is about being desperate for someone to be there for you, because she does everything for them and she doesn't receive the same, but I'd definitely add that some parts of this song refer to the pressure she had from racists, who consistently undermined her and called her ugly. She refers to the fact that those critics waited and watched for her to ‘mess up’ in the relationship to prove that she wasn’t a good partner for him, while Pattinson didn't take his part on defending her from the public eye.

    She had been engaged to fellow UK celebrity Robert Pattinson (Edward from Twilight). She is black, he is white. Pattinson’s (mostly uk based) fans/new outlets/gossip rags and so on “Meghan Markled” her….except instead of Robert mimicking Harry…and supporting/defending his love…he made no comment. She was basically lynched in the media and he just watched her hang. She eventually stopped preform this song because it hurt her too deeply. This song is tragic.

      @@ijustneedmyself Yes also It hit me much later that "why don't I do it for you" is meant to be like "why am I not (pretty) enough for you". For all this while I thought it was about her saying "why am I not caring for or doing anything for you anymore''.
      Because "why won't you do it for me" is about him not caring about her. The complexity of language in this song is sooo damn good.
      Now it feels sad that she was being harsh on herself just because he was giving into those "thousand eyes"

    The pole is the slippery pole of a relationship viewed by public gaze and judgements. Then the fall represents the fall from the grace of the public, because they can't stand to see thier idle. Patterson with any women aside from the girlfriend in the movie.Hence the words." their watching and waiting, and they want to see us alone and apart."
    just my interpretation.!!
