Also,
"people talk to me, i’m slipping out of reach now,
people talk to me and all their faces blur,
but i got my fingers laced together,
and i made a little prison,
and I’m locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me"
and then straight into the chorus
woo lawd the absolute PUNCH. I'm slain.

I don't get this part of the chorus too but overall the song is perfect. The production, the melody and especially the lyrics: the Oscar could be hers. But these are my favorite lyrics:
''We’re at the start, the colors disappear
I never watch the stars, there’s so much down here''
This verse gave me chills. It really made an impact on me. Her power is unmatched
