Navigating Love's Turmoil: Unveiling the Emotional Struggle in 'Gas Lighting'
Lyrics
It's easier to say that I hate you
Expressing that it's easier to claim hatred than to acknowledge love.
Than admit that I love you
Suggesting a difficulty in admitting love, possibly due to vulnerability.
Are we both too messed-up?
Raising the question of both individuals being emotionally troubled.
No-one else can handle us
Implying that their relationship is challenging for others to handle.
And will I ever feel too beaten to give-up on us
Wondering if there will be a point of feeling too defeated to continue the relationship.
It's easier to say that I hate you
Reiterating the ease of expressing hatred over confessing love.
Than admit that I love you
Repeating the difficulty in admitting love.
