It’s not more nuanced than that, millions of people deal with those issues and don’t directly threaten their significant other/baby momma with literal murder you reaffirm you actually wanted to commit.
Tell me you don’t understand art without telling me you don’t understand art.
It’s not my interpretation it’s literally his words that are sourced above this shouldn’t even be an argument.
-
Writes a song he explicitly states in the above sourced interview that it’s specifically about killing his baby momma.
-
Says don’t take it literally but also that he wanted to do it at the time.
I’m not saying it’s right or wrong I’m saying it is exactly what it is and meant exactly what he meant it to mean art or not, but in this case why aren’t you willing to trust the artists word.
Think about it. If the only purpose was a desire to kill the person, why write a song, why not actually do it? The obvious answer is, because he knows that would be wrong, so writing a song about it instead is a way to vent and express emotions.
The topic of the song is literally about killing someone, but that is not why it was made (how could it be, writing a song doesn’t kill someone) and it’s not why people listen. There is more to art than the literal subject matter.
I think what you’re missing is that just because many people don’t threaten those kinda actions doesn’t mean that nobody wants to do it.
Describing feelings and situations is one way to understand and handle them. For oneself, of course, and for others dealing with similar stuff. That’s why people write diaries, for example. This is one basic function of communication.
Lol wow doubling down on not understanding art and then explaining exactly what you don’t get is peak irony, and frankly simply hilarious.
Waaait guys, folks, hold up easy solution to this dilemma:
Why don’t you give us the lyrics you are referring to. That should clear this all up, right?
He didnt threaten her with murder. He wrote a song expressing his emotions. He exaggerated how he felt to the fullest extent.
I once told my dog that I wanted to eat her cause of how cute she is. I’m afraid to tell you that cause you just might think I run around eating pets just because I think they’re cute.
Read the caption again.
But they statement he admits it’s about killing her, take his word.
