Gemini Feed
Banks Lyrics
Open up your eyes
There's nothing on my body left to see
I tried a thousand times
I tried to say "I love you", but you didn't hear me
And you're passive-aggressive
Convinced me other people didn't care about me
And you're passive-aggressive
You're passive-aggressive
You're passive-aggressive
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it that you wanted me smaller
If you would have let me grow
You could have kept my love
Ode to my two thighs
I still want you to kiss 'em 'cause they're lonely
And why are you so surprised?
And when I said "I miss you," you never believed me?
And we were so depressive
You and me together we were gemini feed
And we were so depressive
We were so depressive
We were so depressive, hey
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it that you wanted me smaller
If you would have let me grow
You could have kept my love
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it that you wanted me smaller
If you would have let me grow
You could have kept my love
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it that you wanted me smaller
If you would have let me grow
You could have kept my love

[Intro]
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it, you just wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow, you could've kept my love
[Verse 1]
Open up your eyes
There's nothing on my body left to see
I tried a thousand times
I tried to say "I love you," but you didn't hear me
And you're passive-aggressive
Convinced me other people, they don't care about me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you're passive-aggressive
You're passive-aggressive
You're passive-aggressive, hey
[Chorus]
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it, that you wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow, you could've kept my love
[Verse 2]
Ode to my two thighs
I still want you to kiss 'em cause they're lonely
And why you so surprised
That when I said "I miss you" you never believed me?
And we were so depressive
You and me together, we were gemini feed
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And we were so depressive
We were so depressive
We were so depressive, hey
[Chorus]
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it, that you wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow, you could've kept my love

This song is a pure form of art!! The details are so brilliant!! I'll sum up the comments and mix them with my own assumptions too. The music video starts with High Priestess, which symbolically means inner wisdom, intuition, enlightenment, spiritual insight and etc. and she repeats these specific words:
“And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it that you wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow you could have kept my love”
Which means she's aware of the situation deep inside, but she can't break the chains yet. Then we see a reference to the “Black Swan” ( I'm not sure if it was inspired from that, it's just an assumption). I haven't watched the movie myself, but as much as I know, it's about self destruction, the main character gets involved in something she likes so much that, she destroys herself.
These two people, one wearing white, and the other wearing black represent the ying-yang energy: a Gemini person or two people in a relationship ( the victim and the abuser).
First assumption may be that, she's in a manipulative toxic relationship, in which she and her partner feed on each other's depression. And she's most likely the victim( the white dressed self) and the other one is the manipulator. But they're lying on a web, and if you notice, on the white side, there are some black ropes too, it may mean that she's getting consumed from the toxicity.
The second one is that, it may represent only one person and their unresolved dark self. As a Gemini, it's more relevant to the situation. She's fighting against her dark self to get free. As in the “Black Swan” reference, the black one is other side, that destroys her eventually. In this mv she wants to get away from the destructive self, she complains about it. As for the High Priestess, she may represent the “ Ego” from Freud theory, the priestess may be the one who chooses which side to be, or the one that sees the situation as a third person. It represents awareness, intuition, so it's calling out to her.
She's also pointing out the stereotypes people associate Geminis with, as for snakes, two-faced, but in reality, they're just unique and not understood by just anyone, hehe.
Please note that these are only assumptions, thank you for taking your time and reading, sending positive vibes!!
And yeah P.S. Gemini feed doesn't necessarily mean the toxic relationship goes between two Geminis, it may apply to anyone

Open up your eyes
There's nothing on my body left to see
I tried a thousand times
I tried to say "I love you", but you didn't hear me
And you're passive-aggressive
Convinced me other people didn't care about me
And you're passive-aggressive
You're passive-aggressive
You're passive-aggressive, hey
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it that you wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow you could have kept my love
Ode to my two thighs
I still want you to kiss 'em 'cause they're lonely
And why you so surprised?
And when I said "I miss you", you never believed me
And we were so depressive
You and me together, we were gemini feed
And we were so depressive
We were so depressive
We were so depressive, hey
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it that you wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow you could have kept my love
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it that you wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow you could have kept my love
And to think you would get me to the altar
Like I'd follow you around like a dog that needs water
But admit it that you wanted me smaller
If you would've let me grow you could have kept my love
