To me, it comes off really direct. I know the meaning of the song could be something deeper, but what I've said in the other post was just too in my face to ignore |
it's a metaphor for a turbulent, dangerous, passionate, strong, volatile, intense relationship.
"he hurt me, but it felt like true love" and "he hit me, and it felt like a kiss."
she's compares the love she feels for him that is strong enough for emotional feelings (true love, a kiss) to feel like physical ones (hurt me, hit me).
this idea of good and bad continues to play out in the hook--dangerous/illegal sirens (the good/mermaid definition, or the bad/police car definition?) vs. beautiful violins are compared, like the relationship (the good and the bad of the relationship).
adam and eve, too. the idea of good vs. bad and the strength of a volatile relationship is constantly described in the lyrics
