The lyrics in the chorus shows how there are two meanings in someone's words like when she says pushing me the background says bone are crushing(possibly saying that the abuser is physically hurting the victim but the victim is wording it in a less extreme way to cope)

[@gnicks1183]

The blood is pumping / pulling me part possibly shows the fear aspect of it the abuser is pulling the victim towards them to cut them off from loved ones or to control aspect of the victim most likely using fear to prosuade them to fall in line

[@gnicks1183]

Feeling nothing/fuckin me part is obviously saying that the victim feels nothing emotionally or mentally during intimacy

I am completely taken aback at the amount of praise and the depth at which you have connected to this story. Truly, I am flabbergasted and humbled. The raw emotions and deep inner reflection you have given this story shows how deeply you have connected to the characters, the plot and the story behind it. The fact that I have written something that can bring so much joy, heartbreak, and even deeper emotions is a honor and a privilege. And to be called a master piece? My heart is utterly speechless. I am so incredibly moved and so very grateful. Thank you, with my deepest sincerity. :)

This song is about a relationship that you want to stay so you always bend for that person even if you don't feel like you're you because you are just pretending because you are afraid that the person you are with in a relationship will leave you if they find out your true selves that value yourself. So it connects to Evil and Battle of the Larynx. Ahkkk

I loved you, even when you held a gun to my head. Even when you tossed me away at my offers. Even when i watched you die. But now?..I..I don't. I dont feel sorry. Not anymore. And i wont be sorry ever again. And you..wont come back...ever again. -Monika
