Who is this guy who’s so up there it’s making her lower her inflated opinion of herself?Įw. The second means she has self-esteem issues. Does she think she’s not good enough for the boy? Or the boy is too good for her? The first implies an inconsistent self-image with the rest of the song. “Getting what I want” makes it sound like she wants the guy, but “when it comes to you, I’m never good enough” implies that she doesn’t.Īctually, I’m not sure what it implies. Again, I have no idea why she never said “yes”. This song is just like “ Miss Independent“. Or if she’s bi-curious.īut when it comes to you, I’m never good enough Or if she’s just always been independent. Why doesn’t she want to fall in love? Did she have some love trouble last time? Is she one of those girls that falls for bad boys? Or if she was spurned by a boy. The phrase “putting my defenses up” is repeated through the song. And she’s using it as a trite metaphor for your infatuation. I bet all you out there know at least one person, family member or friend, who died of a heart related disease. She’s talking about the number one killer of humans. Why is she covered in black goo? Is that oil? Is that her “good self” trying to break through? Why is the good side black? Is this a mud wrestling thing? Like the “ Dirrty” and “ I’m a Slave 4 U” videos? Maybe she’s becoming an alien? She certainly looks inhuman.įirst, I think “heart attack” is a rather poor choice of words. Throughout the video it drips down behind her, and as she writhes and caresses herself out of passion, her face becomes painted with it. Second, what is with the black goo? She starts with black paint or oil on her hands. That makes it like a car wreck: hideous, but unable to look away from. It suffers from the same over-production and auto-tuned synth vocals meant to appeal to tweens. With all the diva pop vocalizing and voice manipulation, this sounds like a Christina Aguilera song. The song is so damn catchy, but I have no idea what it’s trying to say. She’s a cross between Kelly Clarkson and Miley Cyrus. “Heart Attack” is like that, and it comes from a similar source - a Disney pop princess who’s trying to seem “more adult”.
