The pain of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate, someone who can't love you for you but expects you to act and look a certain way, which isn't you at all. All the hurdles you jump through, how you physically isolate yourself just to fight for their attention and love. No more.

There's only one thing I hate more than lying. And that's skim milk. And that's because it's water. Lying. Pretending to be milk.

[@BlkHawaiian07]

[@aredgirl1440]

I admire her for the simple fact that she works her butt off. She writes her own lyrics, music and dance moves. She's 100% involved in everything that has her name on it, including her videos. She continues to try hard to improve her voice and performance so she can grow as an artist. But mostly I admire her because in the face of some of the most horrible cyber bullying I've witnessed, all because of who she's romantically involved with, she holds her head high, smiles and continues to work very hard to make her dreams come true. She's been threatened, called racist names and accused of some of the dumbest things but she rises above it all. Who couldn't respect that? I hope nothing but the best for her in the future.

[@fungiadrag2293]

It's beautiful how her hair represents her heart. And, like a pendulum, she's suspended by it and it won't let her go. But she knows that the love she feels for the person is not mutual (not anymore, at least). So she tries to reach freedom from this feeling (by touching the water with her foot). Then she's not suspended anymore, which means that her heart knows the way to forget that person. But, even though she's not tied up in the feeling anymore, it is still there and she's too afraid to let it go, so she won't let her hair touch the water. However, she's tired of the torture. And in a moment of sadness and reflexion, she decides give up and let the water wash the feeling away. She's not a pendulum anymore. And she is now free.

[@celestetrevon5311]

Lisa Pagliei-ventura I suppose you meant "read the bible"? You mean the one with genocide? Or the one condoning slavery? Or maybe it's the one we're god sends bears to kill children for making fun of a guy? Or is it the one we're the punishment of raping a woman was forcing her to marrying her with no chance of divorce, basically forcing her to be with her rapist forever. Or is it the one calling for the stoning of adulterers, gay people, and more? Oh wait! My bad! It's all the same one. And don't come at me with that "but that's the Old Testament" crap. Your god is supposedly all-knowing and unchanging, he couldn't have had a "change of heart" and decided his cruelty was wrong, he probably was cruel for a reason, and a 'god' that uses cruelty as a way to strike fear in his 'children' isn't an all loving, all merciful one, thinking about it with your own brain for 5 minutes makes you realize how it makes no sense. But it doesn't have to make sense, because it's all fiction, and fiction shouldn't make sense. I normally would never talk to a religious person that way, but you shoving your beliefs onto something that has no place for them is insufferable.

Just food for thought.

[@MoonsCamelot]

All I could hear when I watched this is what she's said about the experience of directing this video and how detailed her vision is: "I had to explain to the cameraman that ‘you’ve done it from a man’s eye view’,” she says. “’You’re shooting and you’re going from my face down to my chest and it’s great but it’s not me’. I was like ‘let’s look at my calves, let’s look at feet tied up, let’s look at the marks on my arms, let’s find things that are more interesting’." She's easily one of the most exciting artists I've seen in a long time. What a goddess.

[@jessicacerullo3155]

Shibari is a powerful statement. My favorite part about shibari are the marks on the body left from the rope. Knowing this bit of info really helped me appreciate her use of shibari, especially knowing she intentionally brought in a non-male perspective into sexuality. That's incredibly difficult to do. Thanks!

[@MoonsCamelot]

Jessica Cerullo 100% agree. It's so rare to see any aspect of bondage styles or more broadly BDSM lifestyle treated with respect and nuance. Somehow she's managed to do that in several of her videos, most notably this one and Papi Pacify. And given how she sometimes talks about power and sensuality etc., she's really self-aware about it. It's very cool to see.

[@dylanbuchman8128]

This song is not coming from a position of being invested in a relationship the other person doesn't want. They each want the other, but one communicates very verbally, and the other communicates in silent ways. The verbal one doesn't understand this kind of expression of love, and they want her to change how she voices her feelings. They are both very frustrated by this issue. They do not feel loved, because for them the love she is giving is not enough. They want her to vocalize it. But while she is trying, her efforts are not coming through enough. She just wants them to see her for who she is and accept her form of affection enough to know and feel that they are loved. Because she does actually love them; but they can't accept it without her explicitly voicing her affection.

[@dylanbuchman8128]

She can't have time to herself without them feeling neglected and unwanted, and their constancy and verbal expression of their feelings that is not compatible with her personality is making her become more reserved--worsening the problem. She is thinking about them in a way they would like, but because they are demanding she change so that they can hear her love. Because they are hurting her.

[@meyer3838]

+Dillon Reid very good analysis

[@selahcandelaria19]

Dylan Buchman wow i don’t know who you are and you probably won’t see this because you commented three years ago lol. but thank you so much for your in depth explanation of this incredible form of art. you made me realize something about myself that i’ve been confused about for a while. it has to do with relationships and media these days. and i feel like your explanation relates to that a lot.because people are so used to others showing their love and affection over text or even verbally some type of way and recently someone has told me “ Selah, I really like you but it’s not working how I thought it was gonna work in my head We just say gm, have a dry ass convo then I wait for you to text me several hours later then I say how was your day then it repeats I don’t know what we are, but I don’t want anything to be forced so I just think we should stay friends for now Maybe in the near future when we can see each other more hang out more and just vibe more we can try again “ and honestly i thought maybe something was wrong with me. but i’m not worried about constantly reassuring someone that i like them over text . i feel if that if i text someone atleast once day a day that should be enough and they shouldn’t be so insecure in themself and question my love for them but nowadays people need that form of reassurance over text or even verbalized. and now that i’ve read your comment i can finally realize i can still love someone and be interested while at the same time not conforming to society’s standards of having to text someone everyday to show interest and if someone can’t accept that . then they’re not the one for me if they’re unintentionally “demanding me to change“

[@geenakasonso2596]

@@selahcandelaria19 you probably also won't see this. Lol But I can relate to this also because my way of showing people love has nothing to do with how much we talk to me its about what we feel for each other about how were always going to be there for each other and for the longest time I thought I had a problem I'm still coming to terms with this but now i feel better knowing they're people like me who don't think to prove you love someone you need to talk to them everyday. As long as I'm there for them each time I need them and vice versa I'm good but I guess people have been cultured to believe you talk everyday means showing care. But that's beyond our control. I've actually just lost my bestfriend recently because of this.

[@karinabruschi8070]

I've seen this song not only as he is need her to express her love with more words, but he is demanding, he expects to this introvert woman, to be extrovert as he is, to talk more, to be what he wants her to be, what he expects. She can't be like this and trying to it's painful for her, she found herself trying to say what he would like that she would say, not what she wants, she have to think twice before speak, and this is an exhaustive work for her

I don't think many people are seeing this comment, because it deserves more recognition (I had to scroll farrrr down before I came upon it lol) but just wanted to say you're seen and heard, and I think you're absolutely brave. I'm so sorry that happened to you. It is wonderful and inspiring that you were able to find solace in art and that you are remaining you, remaining strong and worthy as you were always meant to be and always have been. I wish you neverending healing and peace, and if you're looking for similarly healing music check out the songs Healer and Energy by Sampa the Great, Don't Wish Me Well & Cranes In The Sky by Solange, Unison by Bjork (can barely get through it without feeling tears of release) and Drowning and Brain by Banks. Those songs have gotten and still do get me through the toughest moments.

[@ihearjerusalembells]

In my opinion right now we are experiencing a time in the music industry where it's hard to not repeat whats already been done or do things that sound similar. Right now everything in pop music sounds similar and there's not really much that is distinguishing from the crowd. I think that FKA Twigs is the future of music and maybe her music doesn't seem to make sense but atleast it's 10x different then what Flo Rida and Maroon 5 are doing. I think that's why people like FKA, Grimes, Sia and Kendrick Lamar are going so well cause they are offering something new or unseen to the music industry.

I think she's talented and I want to like her, but her songs don't feel finished to me. Her songs are like really long intros to something cooler that never happens. I respect that she isn't creating music to be popular or to pander to the masses, and that she really just want's to represent something honest, but it isn't coming together for me personally. I think part of the problem is that her songs are a lot about the words and the poetry, but I don't really care about that stuff. I listen to music for the melody and the beat, and the instruments.

I sort of agree if I think about the album as a whole. It feels kind of incomplete. But she's new; she's just developing, and we as listeners... we are also developing.

Are you ok?

[@sibongiletasilaphiri7521]

Yes, are You?

[@Olahve982]

I hope you are doing well.

[@victor-zi7bu]

I’m glad & I hope you’re still here.

[@indigoflm]

hope you are okay

[@Tullece]

What an interestingly crafted music video. She is literally/metaphorically restricted by her own insecurities, blinded into thinking she should act a certain way (*sweet little love-maker*). As the video progresses her emotions begin to stir like the waves in an ocean and similarly to the crests and troughs she begins to fluctuate between two states of mind, one being restricted and the other unrestricted (*sweet little love-maker* VS. *what a forsaken cause*). The video culminates in her finally freeing herself from her own restrictions where she is free to be herself and express herself clearly with a sprinkling of resentment (*How does it feel to have me thinking about you?*). She is done with you playa.

[@bensagigi3127]

“So lonely trying to be yours” still hits the same

[@andresa1963]

Mmm.... is this type of music where you need to sit down and really listen to it and maybe more than one time to get used it?

[@Gigipatralov02]

Yes cause I found it strange at first and then BOOM I hear all her pain and her voice is magical you just have to get you use to it

[@annaclikechanel]

andresa1963 depends on the person

[@andresa1963]

eyesturnblueandgreen .... mm...good point

[@Talk2MeNice]

Yes!!! It really is that kind of music!

[@DaughterOfGod78]

Yes. She's the Tori Amos of R & B.

[@rhearhea4848]

I'm today's old when I heard this song... obsessed with her TWO WEEKS and now obsessed with PENDULUM. Both songs, pulls at heart strings and very artistically written.You're younger than I am broken + So lonely trying to be yours. What a forsaken cause - You only want me in other spaces. Come fill your gaps with people -- love!

[@marilync.3425]

LMAOOO I LOVE THIS

[@LadyLime100]

I don't think I'll ever be a fan of her music. But she is an amazing artist. I don't like what I hear, but her work is memorizing and captivating. I love watching her music videos, and I love watching her perform.

[@sumoni]

She's certainly an acquired taste for some. I hated her music at first, except for Papi Pacify, but I listened to a mixtape of all her music on youtube. Then I bought all her songs on itunes. I think it might be especially hard for people who aren't into chill music. I could be wrong.

[@LadyLime100]

***** I've listened to various genre's of chill music. Tycho is my favorite. But I agree with you 100%. I'm still going to follow her, I'll be waiting for the next album to see if its more of my speed. But she is still amazing. I'd love to see her in concert.

[@sumoni]

***** I'll check Tycho out, I'm always interested in something new. :) I recommend her concerts over her MVs. Her stage presence is amazing and she's getting a lot better singing at them from when she first started. I'd love to see her in concert as well, but by the time I actually started liking her music, she just finished a concert in my town.

[@criistopherperez6772]

she so pretty and talented

[@sanasana_5625]

Yes Lana, when twigs does it, she does get called art. Because she is art. I love you but girll....

[@ayeshaerotica9421]

what happened

[@claudia4605]

oh come on, lana is an artist too

[@lucy-vo2lr]

lana was doing the bare minimum on that pole and twigs was like a really elegant spider lol. yes they're both great artists but u cant compare their dancing

[@claudia4605]

@@lucy-vo2lr it's not like Lana ever called herself a dancer so... idgi, Lana's comment made sense, but she shouldn't have mentioned other artists. But she was right imho. I don't get why it's so easy to hate on female artists for no reasons at all

[@mrovvka6882]

Why everyone misunderstood her...

[@ZIONOLOGY]

Music showcased so beautifully, FKA twigs is so refreshing and creative and super weird, love her.

[@bIoomingjasmine]

Every time I listen to her I feel like my soul elevates and I suddenly enter a completely new heavenly dimension. Surreal. Pure gold. A true talent. Wow. Just wow!!!

[@aliciaselh85]

i can't get enough of her it's like i can't find a nother artist like her that makes me so chill and my anxiety goes away just listening to her music ❤

[@asatrumama6055]

[@CINEMARTYR]

One of the greatest pieces of music I have ever heard.

[@drewforeman5025]

she's so amazing and im so upset she just her new stuff leaked. real fans would never do that!

[@大久保喜博]

It is the heart's desire to explore possibilities.

[@WhatsUpMiah]

can we respect the fact that shes doing her and not anyone else? she couldve easily tried to be rihanna or beyonce but shes making the music that she likes and making videos that she is passionate about and doing an excellent job at it. plus as an opinion, i love her vocals and the "unexpectedness" of the beat (if that makes sense) and the look of the video 😍 im ready for some new music videos

[@Vojtakrasa]

This video be like... Nothing... ...oh, she's standing... ...OMG she's fucking hanging on a fucking shitload of ropes!!!... ...OMG the chorus sounds AMAZING!!!... ...Another neck breaking position... ...She's fighting her own hair... ...WTF DID I JUST SEE?...

[@nileciaable]

Its not ropes its her hair. Lol.

[@NthShout]

Vojtěch Krása I dont see the chorus. where? haha

[@jakal172]

This women just puts me in a trance with her voice and dancing. I love it but can't understand why I am so mesmerized by her. It's creepy how beautiful her voice and dancing are.

[@nana-yk6rq]

First time l hear her l said Wow Beautiful.

[@juancarlosvasquezgarcia6134]

THIS woman... She´s just amazing. Wow.

[@logophile92]

She reminds me of Björk. So beautifully artistic. 🎨

[@blair7497]

"So lonely trying to be yours" I get goosebumps everytime I listen to this...

[@2ndhorseman]

WHY have I never heard of this amazing woman until accidentally just now!?

[@erifaerie364]

Just found her today and can I just say? I'm totally mesmerized. This is ART.

[@THATBITCHDEBBIE]

Both.Bjork and FKA twigs are artist that use music to express their creativity. They use videos to make art and do things that people don't necessarily get . What people don't understand is that just because the music industry is filled with a bunch of artist doing the same thing and singing about the same stuff doesn't mean that there can't be a few artist that actually don't copy each other .people compare the two together because they are very alike in the the fact that they are artist . But they are very different artist in general. We need to stop comparing the two and appreciate that they both did and are doing shit that artist nowadays can't fathom doing . When it comes to something as artistic and complex as videos like this there's no way people can copy it . None can copy Bjork because you would need to have the same mind as her and think just like her . But no one can't you need to have a very strong complex mind and thinking power to think of shit that both of these lady's have done . You can't copy a type of art form you can only try and mimic it . But even then it's not to the same standards as the original

[@THATBITCHDEBBIE]

What I'm saying is that FKA twigs is completely different from Bjork Just like Bjork is different from FKA twigs . They are both freaken talented so stfu and just enjoy them separately.or. Together whatever you chose

[@salmaabdullahgb]

fish dupree did you read the comment properly...

[@jocyxo7524]

damn write an essay already . bjork is not a twigs twigs is just like ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¡¡¡¡ Confusing bjork is amazing twigs is like yoko who knows what shes even saying.

[@rokalifeinlondon726]

fish dupree Well said, can't agree more!

[@ruthstephanie923]

Agree with your comments!

[@manuelbranco173]

After Katy Perry FKA twigs has the most beautiful mouth in the history of mouths.

[@ble.bler69]

Jajajajjajaja, so true XD

[@mardain4467]

her voice is wonderful and refreshing indeed!

[@snow-b2d9g]

i literally never ever skip this song

[@isaiscat]

8 years later and im still as delighted as i was when i was 13... i love her so f much

[@josea.laras.8821]

If you're reading this and you're in a relationship with someone who doesn't love you back, let me tell you this. I been there and it's not worthy. No matter how hard you try to like them or how much you change yourself to please them. You can even lose your friends and stop talking to people, witch it's funny cause they won't do the same for you. Stop it. Don't do that to yourself, you can do better. You can find someone who really likes you, someone who trust you.

[@neonlacee]

I think about this video all the time, and it's still the bar that I set when watching others. FKA is an artist's artist

[@yoshyusmc]

Yes another powerhouse combination of music, cinematography, choreography and performance. I cannot believe FKA has all this in one package. What a delight to be able to appreciate her art. Thank you FKA Twigs.

[@TiagoSantosArtist]

I'm fully totally unequivocally aligned with this song !

[@lexp8980]

Unrelated but I have never seen an ugly person with a gap between their teeth. That is such a beautiful quality to have istg. I genuinely wish I had a gap rather than two overlapping bottom teeth.

[@corinnae.7877]

Ehm thanks? I have a small gap and I find it weird when people don't even have a small gap. Idk why.

[@margomazzeo1680]

Gap between the front teeth..usually they are good singers..old saying..

[@ldycop74]

I got braces that closed my gap, regret it ...

[@matteobautista1021]

the way she never misses

[@warmgreytenpercent]

wow 4:19 .... I saw this a year or two after it came out and still, every time at this point i'm like 'she is a STAR'

[@FatimaMakesStuff]

Breaking out of the constraint of yourself. Beautiful

[@rockirichardson7583]

She is extremely fluidly poetic and expressive. A complete work of art. Art makes you feel...something...whether you like or understand it or not.

[@tohru2025]

Everything she does is a visual masterpiece!!!!!

[@brooklynrose2081]

her body is a work of art. she’s one of the most stunning women I’ve ever seen

I am _so_ excited for Cellophane, she is a true visionary

joe a honestlyyyyyyyyy

[@XxxMuseluverxxX]

What did you think? Tbh, I thought it was EXQUISITE

[@joeagger]

XxxMuseluverxxX oh i thought it was fantastic! my fav on the album is either that or Home with You ✨

[@XxxMuseluverxxX]

@@joeagger Cellophane, Home With You, Mirrored Heart, Fallen Alien 👽are some of my faves-honestly, almost every song on there wrecked me. Though I would say that Cellophane really holds a special place in my heart because of what I was going through at the time; god, what a lovely album ❤️ Glad you enjoyed it as much as me ❤️

[@gerardmaurice515]

Her music is so unique!

[@brittanydollss]

her voice made me cry. the healing process is much better with fka twigs voice. i remember seeing the video of her staring into someone’s eyes so intimately at a show and bro idk after that she just has a part of my soul 😭🥰🥰 much love for this artist. imagine her and tinashe on a song bro.

[@runningthroughacastle]

She is so interesting. Very fascinating style and way of thinking.

[@beeztrapz]

Coming back to this song brings me so much memories. Long story short, I was in a place of my life where being with this guy made me a lot more lonely than being with him. This whole song sums up my whole life back then. WOW. The lyrics are still so powerful

[@Sherbby]

LYRICS I'm a sweet, little love maker Finding time, to make my words better (I) Lately I Not so present now Not in love For your constant fun I've got time, but you're tired of waiting You only want me in other spaces Come fill your gaps with people I know no one So lonely trying to be yours When you're looking for so much more You forgot How we fell in love I'm your sweet Little love maker You're younger than I am broken I dance feelings like that sparkle Summer conversations, not enough So lonely trying to be yours What a forsaken cause So lonely trying to be yours When you're looking for so much more How does it feel to have me thinking about you? Wishing the words were enough to consume you So lonely trying to be yours How does it feel to have me thinking about you? So lonely trying to be yours What a forsaken cause So lonely trying to be yours When you're looking for so much more

[@underneaththemoon292]

literally the most beautiful and talented of them all

Her music is a portal to another world 👌💚💚

I swear her and Tinashe resemble each other so much different music tho

[@aneesescott9908]

they look justtt alike

[@kiwigreen7345]

They need to collaborate.

I only discoverd twigs last week and she's fantastic I'm just wondering how did the dude from trasnfomers pull her😭

[@averywallace7114]

Miss Fka a twigs. That was Beautiful.

[@ye4us]

She seems almost timid and introverted in her interviews but her live performances and music videos man. Like.. man

[@jane---489]

People like to compare her, people want to talk of her eyebrows, people feel the need to slate her, just for loving Robert Pattinson... I love to hear her beautiful, delicate voice, while listening to her powerful meaningful words ... She's just incomparably unique ...J x

[@rainabaileyyy]

if it scares you, she's doing something right

[@jknumber5138]

I remember LP1 an Banks "Goddess" album from 2014. Great year for alternative r&b music.
