I can see why people think this is about manipulation or coercive control and, in some ways, this is true. But that coercion is from within. This song is about depression.

It's painfully obvious to anyone that struggles with depression, that this is all about how your mind twists things and turns you against the world.

Depressed brain twists people's words and actions to make you think they betray you. Depressed brain makes you feel hatred when all you want is the touch and comfort of love. Depressed brain keeps you dwelling in pain even when you are numb to the outside world. Depressed brain tells you that nothing is fair, that you are paying the price for the bad person you are. If controls your actions and you are the one that takes the blame for it, because you are one and the same, yet still trapped within it.

Depressed brain lies to you and, because it is from within, you see it as the truth. The distorted reality you weave for yourself. This reality becomes your truth and is used as excuses to isolate from the world.

But it's all just you.
