There is a real attitude in this song. It is in the vocal delivery, the way words are spat out. It is in the lyrics, how there is a forced necessity to take action. Musically, this attitude can be found in the lower end, with the drums kicking up a storm.
The song describes a person finding it difficult to enforce boundaries: “You're forcing feelings on me / I perk my lips / I can't breathe.” The aggression of the song comes from a place of affirmation, the explanation sign in the title entirely appropriate.
When this song was born, I imagine it came into the world screaming. Despite the terror of such emergence, this baby would have been loved straight away.
