One of the world's real stories I always tend to run away from discussing about is, abusive relationships. Whatever I'll say, anyone in the situation would say I'm not in it so I'll say it the way I did. It's really crazy the high rate of couples who are living in abusive relationships and smiling on the outside to hide their broken heart.
I remember my time in school, I lived next to a neighbor who would let her boyfriend hit her as he wanted, they will break up and get back together again only get beaten up over and over. I couldn't believe my eyes whenever I see them back together, especially after the first time I saw the guy hit her hard like she was a punching bag.
Abusive relationships are rampant, even though many do not come out on it as a lot of them think it won't be a situation that will last long which most of them realize they are very wrong about it. I've understood that a lot of these abusive relationships were birthed from wrong parenting and it's like a cycle that goes down to generation.
A married couple with kids fighting and being abusive to each other in the presence of their kids, trying to prove to them that conflicts can only be sorted out through shouts and blows. I've heard so many stories and witnessed a few to be aware that wrong choices had led many to relationships that harm them physically, verbally or mentally with very limited way of escape.
I've been listening to this song for about three weeks now and it's only until today I figured out what the artist meant with his lyrics in the song. Imagine a song describing an absiove partner as the devil himself, it's a wild description but the artist understood well enough how dark and scary a relationship can be with such a partner.
I'm not so sure but the artist, "Alec Benjamin" seemed to have seen or experienced what it's like to be in an abusive relationship and the song is directed to those who think they can change the abuser for a happier relationship. In his song, he said "He will only do you more harm" said it to the one who may act like he or she would change.
The song advises that you should not wait for an abuser to ever change if you've tried all you possibly can and they keep apologising only to go back to who they really are. It's a hard one for those in the actual situation but there's no sweeter way to say it that nobody deserves to be in a relationship that abuses their whole being.
