She is obsessed with them and is trying to prove to herself and others that she is fine despite them. She pleads with the listener to believe her and trust that it's not their time to die. The singer talks to herself and finds comfort in the balance she has found within herself, but also finds it destructive as it "rapes everything." She again pleads with the listener to trust her.
The singer admits to being bitter and angry and not wanting to be like everyone else. She wants to hold on to the bottom, despite the times she will go down by herself.
