    love how quick you were to get the meaning of the song. "she was sleeping in your clothes, but now she's got to get to class, how dare you? and how could you? will you only feel bad when they find out?" such haunting lines yet many people didnt pick up on it.

  • @horsehollerer

  • @neon75105
    @neon75105 3 роки тому +7

    A few things that might explain the video and the lyrics better,
    1. Imagery: The snake, representing evil, and the constriction on her that seemed suffocating, are all representing the abusive relationship she had.
    2. Psychology: Victims of child abuse are groomed by the abuser to make them feel shame and guilt. It's a manipulation tactic that ultimately leads to the victim feeling responsible for the abuse, when in reality is the abuser who takes advantage of the minor. This is why sometimes you hear victims of sexual abuse defending their abuser.
    3. Dissociation: When you hear her talking in the 3rd person and later in the 1st, is often a defense mechanism. It's difficult to come to terms with the idea that someone took advantage of your need for love, and for this reason, it's easier to talk about it as something detached and impersonal. Extreme feelings of shame and worthlessness usually invade the victim's mind, which later generate other psychological issues.

    • @limner123
      @limner123 2 роки тому

      You speak truth. On 3, also (as someone with trauma) it's easier to be mad on behalf of someone else who is mistreated, and so it's easier to be mad on behalf of that person who was/is me than to be mad for myself. (To be fair I'm also quite dissociated, but I've found this to be true.)

  • @candycooopa
    @candycooopa 3 роки тому +12

    I think when she says “try not to abuse your power” shes talking about when you’re in a relationship and you’re in love. Your partner has some level of power over your emotions, and they choose how they use that. So she’s saying to try not to abuse the power you have over someone who loves you. And I think the change in tense is an artistic thing where she’s expressing that this happened directly to her but that it’s also a tactic used by the person when they’re in relationships. For example “keep her in a cage” implying that he does this to every girl that loves him. Not just her. Just my take. And at the end, “power isn’t pain”. Power doesn’t have to equate to pain. You choose how you use the power that you have.

    Having experienced something similar, I am pretty certain the reason why she is writing from a 3rd party perspective in some parts is because it is a lot safer mentally to speak that way.. judging the situation from that point of view protects yourself when you talk about it sometimes. This also could be parts her brother wrote as well and she is simply singing it. They spoke about it on Howard Stern.

    wow that song hit differently.. When i was 13 my uncle started being around a lot, not having a father around he very fast became my male figure to look up to, well turned out he wasn't around for me but for my 14 year old best friend. he was bad news, spend time in prison regularly, an alcoholic and drug addict. i desperately tried to tell people around me that im worried about her spending so much time with him. in the end it ruined our friendship and she fell into addiction as well..
    i really hope she just wrote this from the perspective of someone going through this and didn't have to live it herself

    @stacyh3441 3 роки тому +2

    Also just spot on take of the message here. I saw a lot of comments saying this was about a Weinstein type incident. Now, while that is touched on- this goes deeper about her own personal relationship with being groomed by an older man and taken advantage of. It is never ok for a man to be in a relationship an underage girl! That age gap is HUGE when you’re talking about levels of maturity and is not only an abuse of power....it’s statutory rape! This is such an important message because young girls think it’s ok and feel special when an older guy takes interest, not realizing how wrong it all is until the damage has been done.

  • @hlfghst
    @hlfghst 3 роки тому

    I really like how you commented on the manner that she is talking to the abuser. I think that aspect really cements how personal this song is to her since she (as an artist) understands how someone in her position has power over others. And how even if they didn't ask for this power they have to take such things into account. Boiling this song down into an "okay, you may have been ignorant on your position of power but do you regret it?"

    Sometimes I feel like I'd be better off dead..n sadly she's been 'there' too!💔💔
    I've sang my whole life. And my big brother used to do the music to the songs I wrote and we'd record it, I promised him on his deathbed I'd keep going for our DREAMS...but, nobody will HELP me because I'm nobody and I don't have money to pay to them...FML!!😰😭💔🙏💀

      @stacyh3441 3 роки тому +2

      I think her own intimate relationship with an adult while she was still a minor was traumatic, and as she has matured she has realized how she was taken advantage of (this is not uncommon). She wanted to spread awareness. Many men abuse their power with underage girls, whether through intimidation, promise of a better life, etc. and it’s sick as fuck and needs to stop. Time to call out the pedophilic behavior.

And yes THE ABUSE (of power) and abuse all the way around..she touched on that a little earlier about the contract...he seems to be a complete narcissist! He made her push her family n friends away, would do a lot of really shitty things to her it was bad all the way around! Idk if anyone has actually said it but I believe he physically n sexually abused her as well, like in NDA she says you hit me so hard, I saw stars, I saw stars...she touches on all that in parts of other songs on the album and talking about it now to some ppl. 💔

    when she shifts from 1st person to 3rd it could be disassociation as lots of victims of sexual abuse disassociate in the aftermath. It could also be how it is not rare that this happens just that it gets found out is rare so it could be she is saying it happens to herself and others because that is the reality. There is also this feeling of deep sadness in women how they go through this sexual abuse for the man's pleasure and then because of the man's power to get away with it there is no justice or even sort of closure at an emotional level for the female. I think this idea of change is also about how we are only now starting to stand up to it and how the only power the female victim has is to stand up to it but to no avail because it is a taboo subject and the victim blaming culture we have means that standing up to this power that they have to commit this act and instead of going to prison they just lose their fame, wealth, platform or reputation and the woman can never do right. She allows it to happen and doesn't speak up and that makes other women vulnerable but yet the message at the same time is if you speak up nothing gets done and you are blamed for ruining this man's life who has more power to manipulate because of his position in society and the power we as a society give that position. Though simple lyrics I do think the meaning is a lot deeper than it appears.

    @6:45,@H, So basically her 'first' love was a narcissistic psychopath! I feel for her like a little sister in a lot of ways but I truly wish this wasn't something she had in common with ME!😞😰😳😥💔💔🙏 I was almost killed by someone like THAT!, And now have no teeth as well! It's changed who I am and I'm embarrassed to even be seen in public and when ppl do see that I have no teeth automatically judge me as if I am a drug addict when I've never touched anything like that in my LIFE! I wish they could SEE the rest of the damage he did like the fluid in my brain for instance! I'm an only parent so I don't have the money to get my teeth or I would have a long time ago! My insurance doesn't pay anything for semi or permanent teeth and I can't wear dentures because of a condition fr it so I can't even eat right or eat hardly anything!😭💔🙏👼💀💀💀 I know she's gotten help with going to therapy n stuff which is great I'm truly proud of her!

      I LOVE her voice! 😁 And no, her voice is not crappy, she's amazing live and has great songs. Just because you don't like her doesn't mean she sucks.

      Feel bad for you. Listening to only one type of music or one type of voice, you miss out on so many wonderful music.
