i promise i'm not trying to make your life harder






...It is pretty, though.


Content of song =/= content of video, as far as I'm concerned. There are a whole series of new creative inputs in a video.

It's like judging the book by the movie.
Or worse yet, the TV series.
Then how do you conclude that "Every Breath You Take" knows its problems, whereas "White Flag" doesn't?

The language in EBYT is more blatant, but that could simply be the result of being expressed by a man. I've known stalker women, and they weren't all, "I'll be watching you"; they were more "I will go down with the ship." The linguistic differences between the songs could be based more on gender-training than difference in awareness of the problem of the theme.
I don't conclude anything. There are very few definitive statements at all in what I wrote.

Please reread.
