Sadly, this song reminds me of my relationship with my mom and sister. I've always been the black sheep, the one who's seen as the odd man out, and the one who is always blamed then tossed to the side when things get rough. If not for my nieces and nephews I would have cut them off years ago. Just happy to see that my eldest niece is at the age where she sees how I'm treated and is on my side.

[@PorscheDad]

I'm really sorry to hear. Like the saying goes, you can pick your friends but not your family, rings so true here. Whatever happens make sure you do you and what gives you the least amount of stress. Peace & Love from our family in Northern NY to yours.

[@auroravictoriadelvillar2695]

After all this years I've finaly realise. What if the song isn't about him killing people for a girl, This a song about him killing himself metaforicly, changing himself for what she wanted him to be. I know it is literally in the lyrics but I didn't realise this and I know that a lot of people don't know. Because we all used to hear it back then but a lot of us don't hear the lyrics as what he actually says.

When I first heard this song I thought it was about murdering someone for the person you love, or murdering someone just to get the person you love. but after understanding the lyrics, "you have to undestand that, the one I killed is me" (2:11) is just heartbreaking :( imagine loving someone very hard that you are willing to change yourself just for them to love you back. That's just sad.. people can love, but please don't lose yourself on the way.. know that there's always someone out there that will love you for who you are.

[@ReeReeNickname]

My interpretation is that he has a girlfriend that judges him and shuts him out after she finds out he killed his inside self but he did it bc he loved her he wanted to protect her but she slowly starts back trusting him. And he just wants to know if she'd love him the same stick by him and support him... But she's not buying it or understanding and he's begging bc love drives us crazy sometimes

[@ReeReeNickname]

And also if he does get caught paps involved the news and evidence but for now he's on the run no one to turn to him and her is all they got is each other and she might be mad but she's still supposed to be there...

[@PorscheDad]

@@ReeReeNickname I'd agree 120% UNLESS they're not as close as he thinks they are. I'm pretty sure if my gf/wife showed up at my door with bloody hands wearing a disguise I'd definitely still know it was her. Alec says, "...I tell her that it's me, but she doesn't recognize." This could mean both physically she couldn't tell it was him, and metaphorically like she doesn't really know him even though he's madly obsessed with her. Either way this song has a nice bob ya head type of flow mixed with his vocals which are 🔥. I also like how it's up for different interpretations - the key to any form of beautiful art.

_Actually_ Alec let many hints before the twist : *I'll be a better man* He's not enough for her so he's going to get rid of his true self to be "better" *I stare at my reflexion, I don't know who I am* He's not himself anymore, he became her creation, the addition of her desires, she took so much space inside of him that there is nothing left for himself, he has disapeared completly and he doesn't control anything anymore, he's not who he used to be and he is lost bc he let her redrawn him completely So clearly he doesn't know who he is now, who he became (for her) *I learned my lesson* He probably understood the hard way that he's not enough for her, so he "learned his lesson" and changed himself to be loved by her *Wearing my disguise* to escape to the police, he doesnt even have to hide as he's not himself anymore. If he cant recognize himself in the mirror, who would ? *I tell her that its me but she doesnt recognize* Indeed he is not himself anymore so why say "its me" if its not true anymore ? ( *No I wouldn't tell you lies* well you just did T_T) She cant recognize him for the same reason he could recognize himself : hes no more who he was *I did it all for her so I felt nothing at all* either he is empty cause hes not himself anymore, he became noone, or he is so blind by his love for her that hes not even feel sad for himself, or bad for litteraly got rid of who he was *I'm sorry that I did this* He understand that it wasn't worth it, and that he should be loved for who he is and nothing more. So he's regretting doing it all but its too late ( *cause there's just no turning back* ) This song is both a so-much-well-written warning and a lovely and essential advise : _don't change yourselves for someone else_ and _be who you are and love yourself_ Thats how I understood this masterpiece ❤❤❤ Edit : @Maxwell Steinbruckner added that there is also a play on words when he says, "My face is on the news." With the idea of killing yourself a common way is through hanging and, you get hanged with a noose. "My face is on the (noose)." Therefore he hung his old self.
