Other People Wouldn't Stay Other People Don't Obey You And Me Are Both The Same You Should Really Run Away
this confirms that this song is being sung from the perspective of
Billieâs
abuser. it explains
the tone of the song, and completely changes the way you look at it. Lines like âIf you find it hard to swallow, I can
loosen up your collar, âCause, as long as youâre still breathing, Donât you even think of leavingâ make it very overwhelmingly clear that this is the perspective Billie is portraying
Also, while some people think the Spotify interview thing from the lyric version disproves this, it just doesnât. She says the song was made to be âinsane liveâ, not a fun song in terms of concept. She said she was going through crazy feelings at the time and youâd understand if you looked at the lyrics, but doesnât say what the feelings were. On an album where Billie is
venting about her trauma, a song like this would have no place in the project. I donât know how she could have made this more obvious then by saying
me and you are both the same
