My interpretation: dodie at the beginning is delivering messages. Not only were they unanswered, but trying to send them was getting so difficult (sitting still with a brain on fire) she does some of it blindfolded (eyes closed isnāt helping). She had to send these messages, she wants to. But itās so difficult, no responses, she cuts her hand, falls under the weight of her messages and what she wants to express.
I believe the song is about realising you have dated a pattern of partners who perhaps arenāt artistic or on the same intellectual plain as you are. They donāt want to talk about deep things, you do. You feel you canāt share you thoughts (I donāt think they get me dear) but you tried to make him/her ābloomā. And it ends up feeling like youāre the one with the problem.
I believe at the end when she gets the uniform thatās her accepting exactly who she is and confidently goes about delivering her messages exactly as she wants without all the issues. Sheās able to see herself differently, as a strong person who will indeed send her messages out all over the world as loud as she wants, and perhaps is realising she would need a partner to be as loud and unapologetic as herself.
Great song, great video. LOVE this new era of Dodie. Gone is the yellow and the soprano uke. Dodie has clearly studied music a great deal and Iām super proud of the talented woman she has become. Her self awareness and journey are pretty amazing really.

As someone with ADHD, this song encompasses the feeling of RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Disorder) where if i perceive any form of rejection from someone I care about I immediately overthink and get immense anxiety. If someone I care about who usually opens up to me suddenly shut down around me I would probably sense myself into a spiral like the lyrics of this song

I love that she used a rural Cornish fishing village, the village I live in no less, even used my dad and stepmums letter box! Loved the music video

Edit: This is a quote from the pre-livestream video. Please read the comments below for link and important notes :)
āItās actually about passive aggression, itās interesting, itās more about when- I think itās like a feeling that I have to deal with when someone else in my life, be it a partner or a friend, like, goes quiet, like, thinks introspectively and deals with their problems internally, I freak out, ācause Iām like, āIām the problem,ā like, āwhat have I done, to make you feel upset?ā And thatās probably coming from past trauma.ā She also mentioned a comment describing it as āfinding anxiety in someoneās silence.ā -Dodie (https://youtu.be/EC3M1j-jOJQ?t=1635)
I love everything about this. That last line is chef's kiss Whenever my social anxiety kicks in, or i've just come out to someone, or in an argument, even just in a casual conversation... my mind fills that silence with anxious thoughts I know are probably not true but I can't help it! So relatable.

This is a clear hat tip to Kiki's delivery service and I am shocked that no one is commenting on it. The deliveries, the costumes, the cat, the stairs, the floating in the end

As someone who struggles with compulsively trying to meet the needs of my partners, this song hits. To me, the meaning is literal, and when people are quiet and I can't read their vibe, I blame myself for doing something wrong and hate myself - even when I didn't do anything wrong and everything's actually fine. Thanks dodie. I feel seen. I don't think I can help it, but I'm working on being kinder to myself.

I hate myself too wow

I love the metaphor in trying your hardest to deliver a message to other people so much :) when other people fall silent and you feel like it's your fault you want to overcompensate in communication really bad (at least that's how I interpreted it)

[Verse 1]
Could it be different? Did I ruin the day?
Oh, do you look angry? Oh, what did I say?
Filling in the gaps, build a problem that
Neither of us needs, something wrong with me (Mmh-mmh-mmh)
I'm getting desperate, losing my mind
Oh, how do we get here, every time?
One will fold their arms, one will do the dance
Really is no need, something wrong with me
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don't think I can help it (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!)
(Nope)
[Chorus]
Oh, so illogical, I'm not magical, I can't read your mind
But how can you not hear the whole conversation?
I have, sitting still with a brain on fire
I know, it's a me-thing
Eyes closed - isn't helping?
When you go quiet, I hate myself
When you go quiet, I hate myself
[Verse 2]
Look at you sideways, playing a game
Oh, what if I laugh now, think I'm insane
Filling in the gaps, build a problem that
Neither of us needs, something wrong with me
Pushing a boundary, something to prove
Strong expectation, you already lose
Oh, one will fold their arms, one will do the dance
Really is no need, something wrong with me
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don't think I can help it (K)
[Chorus]
Oh, so illogical, I'm not magical, I can't read your mind (Read your mind)
But how can you not hear the whole conversation?
I have, sitting still with a brain on fire (Brain on fire)
I know, it's a me-thing
Eyes closed - isn't helping?
When you go quiet, I hate myself
When you go quiet, I hate myself
[Bridge]
Give me a mystery
Maybe they'll bloom for me
It's always the quiet ones
Oh, something here must be done
I'm hoping I'm ready here
Don't think they get me, dear
I'm only proving how
I'm only worth losing now
Give me a mystery, maybe they'll bloom for me
It's always the quiet ones, something here must be done
I'm hoping I'm ready here, don't think they get me, dear
(When you go quiet, I hate myself)
Don't think they get me, dear
(No I don't...)
Give me a mystery, maybe they'll bloom for me
It's always the quiet ones, something that must be done
I'm hoping I'm ready here, don't think they get me, dear
(When you go quiet, I hate myself)
Don't think they get me, dear
[Outro]
No, I don't think (Don't think they get me here)
I can help it (Don't think they get me here)
No, I don't think (Don't think they get me here)
I can help it (When you go quiet, I hate myself)
(Don't think they get me here)
No, I don't think (Don't think they get me here)
I can help it (Don't think they get me here)
No, I don't think (Don't think they get me here)
I can help it (When you go quiet, I hate myself)
No, I don't think
I can help it
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)

For me, this song is about overcoming struggles with mental health. Dodie has to practice being a good postwoman over and over again and it's difficult work. She fails a few times but eventually, she gets to the part where she is able to let go of the letters (maybe a representation of her thoughts) and sees the light at the end. I know there are lots of interpretations of this and I think it's beautiful that Dodie has been able to relate to so many through her music in so many ways!
