They shush me (sssh), walking me across a fragile line" "they rush me, telling me i'm running out of time she's starting to take more dominance in the intercourse, but the rapist comes back even stronger. She's fallen into it now, and is starting to take pleasure in it as well. I'm helpless, clinging to a little bit of spine" "selfish, taking what i want and call it mine Not only does he find it humane to do this, he takes pleasure in it. "throw me in the deep end, watch me drown" Now he's trying to give her drugs, and attempting to convince her that this is what she wants. Saying that i want more, this is what i live for"

the rapist is covering her mouth so no one hears her pleas for help. He's got her, and now he's not letting her go. Sneaking out the back door, make no sound" Upon her first encounter with this guy, she thought he was nice because he had a very clean appearance. she's angry now because of him ("ignite me"), but it just turns him on, and forces it further. When she rejects what the raper says, he forces it onto her. Ignite me, licking up the flames they bring about" "they fight me, vigorous and angry, watch them pounce He's telling her to open her mouth to suck his cock, and that she needs to do this, because it's best for her. I need them, mechanically make the words come out" "my demons are begging me to open up my mouth I believe this song to be about rape from a man. This is what I get when i'm listening to this song, it just makes so much sense when you think about it like that. She talks about how she sold her soul to a three-piece (a man wearing a suit) and he told her she was holy but he has got her down on both knees, she needs his help and would at this point do anything he tells her to do but she still knows that he is the devil who is just trying to hold her down. They are begging her to open up her mouth as in rushing her to write another song but she needs them so it makes the words come out mechanically, she is in a way forcing herself to write a good song for them. They are supposed to be helping her, walking her across a fragile line, trying to help her finding the right way in a tricky business but they are not quite right for her because they are rushing her and shushing her and so she refers to them as demons and the devil. General CommentI think this song is about some people in her life that are helping her getting famous in the music industry, maybe a producer or something like that. They shush me (sssh), walking me across a fragile line They rush me, telling me I'm running out of time I'm helpless, clinging to a little bit of spine Selfish, taking what I want and call it mine Saying that I want more, this is what I live for

The result of her focus and dedication is a tone that is both enchanting and seductive, along with a riveting, honest stage presence. This song describes the struggle many have in relationships, the struggle between a heart that want to stay and a mind that want to go.ĭanielle has spent the past few years rendering goose bumps by perfecting her style, with charismatic performance. I wrote this song one night at 2 am sitting at my dining room table. This album is probably my most vulnerable work.
