    “If I loved him any less I’d make him stay” that hit me so hard. Loving someone enough to know that holding onto them means losing who they truly are, so you lose them either way. At least letting them go lets them go on.

    I know this is a lyric video and the real music video is coming soon but honestly if this was only video she made for this track i wouldnt mind. The simple imagery of her being "vulnerable" to someone strong but unfeeling, her knife in hand to attack conveys the story the song tells perfectly.

    I love all the symbolism in this, especially how shes naked and holding the player, very much in love and activly giving him love while he stands there in a full suit of armor, not touching her, not even tilting his head forward to show any love towards her. his hands stay on his sword and by his side. The one sided love she must have felt, but it could be an act as she keeps herself armed and ready for an attack.

      The woman is also holding a knife behind her back, which means there is a possibility that she can hurt the knight. Hence the armor? To save himself from any kind of pain that he may or may not come across.

    A woman accepts to make herself vulnerable in love. Feeling small, naked and fragile in front of a man who most oftens keeps his armor on, never accepting to make himself vulnerable to anything. Not even love. But every strong and intelligent woman knows the secret to loving a man. Make him feel powetful by appearing smaller and weaker than him...all the while keeping a secret weapon hidden to protect herself always. This secret weapon is the spear of destiny. The one who will succeed in finding it hidden in her heart, will hold the keys to her Universe. It takes years but only a true Hero can succeed. Some heros are destined for something else than love.

      @@christeenabean659 np 😊 if you happen to be into sci-fi i would recommend the series. Just get through the first book. Banks was an early writer then, his writing improves immensely after that, then the series really takes shape. Gives a lot of interesting context to the present state of affairs--beyond the common political takes for and against space colonization--as it's influenced Bezos's vision of the future as well.

    Mark Twain is famously quoted as saying "write what you know", and with that in mind it is no mystery who this song is about. My only hope is that in her time spent with the not such a mystery man is that she didn't focus all her energy outward and that she at least spent some time focusing her energies inward and was able to explore and discover more of herself because, in my opinion, she is much more a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

      I hope we all spend some time focusing our energies inward. Who are we? What are we? What causes our unintentional behavior? How deep do our wounds go? What is our ultimate potential? ... Each and every person is an enigma.

    Playing the game will always result in a winner and a loser, no boundaries leads to endless pain, never give up your identity, guard your heart dear one, the song is very melancholic with touch of hopelesness 💜

      I don’t feel melancholy at all out of this, tragedy yes, but not pain, not a loss of identity. Just tragedy

      I think knowing your identity is a very rare and special wisdom. People play endless games with that; identifying with their intellect and their trauma... We don't teach people to find their actual identity, their true power. People who go inside are questioned on their productivity and mental health. People who share their inner journeys are often met with awkward conversation roadblocks. Our society dismisses the subjective and mistakes strength for weakness. We've got it all backwards. Identity is everything.

      I feel like you're right, this isn't a breakup song.. At the end of the day, how can it be? They have a child together.. They're eternally linked by that child now.. This is her reaching out in the best way she knows how to... This is a masterpiece showing of the feminine energy working through its whole toolkit to secure what it loves..... I'm in awe.

    This song is definitely about someone working hard at their passion, and what it’s like for someone to be so enveloped in that passion that they forget to consider their partner.
    But even more extreme, that passion is literally travelling the galaxy. And you don’t wanna crush someone’s passion but it’s so difficult in relationships.
    I’m the other person in this song. I am so enveloped in my passion that there is nothing else in my eyes. Relationships are hard because I just can’t see anything else but the goal.
    But even more so- imagine you love someone- who’s two loves are the literal galaxy and you. I’m sure we often compare ourselves to ex’s but imagine having to compare yourself to the entire galaxy.
    This is such an interesting future situation.
