    I thinks it's about love of something or someone, and being ashamed loved hated/hating needed wanted and rejected and many more things all balled into one. I think she does an awesome poetic job of describing pain in love. It's like she's battling herself as well as the person she loves. The war is what she can't say aloud or maybe afraid to or won't. I love how bare bones she makes it, how she is lashing out, how weak and strong she is. This is my poetic interpretation, i hope this finds you to see yours.
