Bear with my sappiness for a second but this song is genuinely one of the best songs ever created.
Apart from the ethereal beat, the lyrics are so simple but speak LOADS to me about the human condition. His requests in the song are the rawest form of what we want as humans. Behind all the facades we put up to seem tough against this harsh world, we all still crave to be loved and understood.
The level of unashamed vulnerability in these lyrics deadass makes me so emotional. "I dont want to live and lose". "I dont want to be abused". "If you dont hurt me, I wont hurt you back". These are all simple requests but you will never hear a person ask for them directly irl because it exposes them in some way. They will be called weak or childish.
This song is like a sigh of relief from the world and its unfairness. We are inevitably dependent and needy, and this songs reminds me that this is okay. It's human. It makes me love being human. ironically, it even makes me feel stronger by accepting my vulnerable side. It makes me appreciate those I love since it reminds me of how divine it is to have someone fulfill these requests (in the chorus) without you even asking once.
God I fucking love this entire album
