Top Comments of this video!! :3
The "turn me on, turn me down" line always hits me; the way I interpret it is like this; turning on a car radio, then turning down the music. Keeping it on as background noise; as company, but not something you necessarily want to listen to. This relates to toxic relationships; keeping someone with you just so you're not alone, while not really appreciating or loving them anymore.

Interpretation (This explanation may be a bit incoherent, I never claimed to actually be smart hehe): This song is about an unhealthy relationship where one person (namely Phoebe) is giving too much to try to help the other person, so much that this "help" is actively harming her. This video is just an extension of that idea. The man in the video is a person who takes advantage of others and their kindness, seen through how he takes advantage of the man who tries to lend a hand and give him a ride and gets promptly deserted on the side of the road. He also is a manipulator and uses his wounds (be it physical or emotional) to lure people in, but we later see that he is faking even that. The dog, however, is drawn to this man and even after seeing this behavior over and over again continues to stay. It's important to note that the motif of dogs is used throughout Punisher, Phoebe comparing herself to "a dog with a bird" on multiple occasions, so it's safe to assume the dog could be a metaphor for Phoebe herself. The man keeps pushing the dog, Phoebe, away but she somehow always ends up right back by his side. Still, by the end of the video, we see Phoebe and the dog sitting in identical outfits (further solidfying the idea that they are one in the same) having stolen what the man has taken from them and others, finally away from him and all the pain he brings. That's just my take though, and it's still pretty muddy! Feel free to add, I'd love to hear other opinions :)

My interpretation is that the “savior complex” part is obvious, It’s about someone who is attracted to broken people. Thinking somehow they’ll be the one to fix them. What the video shows takes it one step further... that the person trying to do the saving is just the same, if not worse. More sly and coy about their motives and levels of manipulation. That’s why you see at the end that she was the bigger con artist all along. Trying to save others from their problems, but neglecting the biggest problem of all which is herself.
