Fun fact: When a clam has an irritation in itâs beak, it covers the irritating substance with layers, creating a pearl. Humans adore pearls for their beauty on the outside when it had a problem on the inside. Therefore they basically adore an issue that is covered in polishing layers. Just proof humans have always fallen for wars. They just arenât aware because of how sugarcoated it is

As a male victim of domestic violence and extreme abuse for nearly 10 years in my first romantic relationship this song resonates a lot with me. Men are expected to be stoic so my difficulty with vulnerability/trust usually goes unnoticed but most of the partners I've been with since then have a hard time understanding why I get very panicky and avoidant any time there's conflict or stress at home. I've tried to explain but usually just get told "you talk about that ex too much" or "well I'm not like her so...". When you've spent half your life always walking on eggshells and just waiting for all hell to break loose that anxiety sticks with you, I can't just let it go. The coping mechanisms and behaviors that helped me survive that are deeply rooted in my psyche. Healing takes time, and I was in that relationship for longer than I've been out, so far. I just wish I could get my current GF to understand that my trauma isn't her fault but my hypervigilance and anxiety aren't things I can just turn off.

You're growing tired of me
You love me so hard and I still can't sleep
You're growing tired of me
And all the things I don't talk about
Sorry, I don't want your touch
It's not that I don't want you
Sorry, I can't take your touch
It's just that I fell in love with a war
Nobody told me it ended
And it left a pearl in my head
And I roll it around every night
Just to watch it glow
Every night, baby, that's where I go
Sorry, I don't want your touch
It's not that I don't want you
Sorry, I can't take your touch
There's a hole that you fill
You fill, you fill
But it's just that I fell in love with a war
And nobody told me it ended
And it left a pearl in my head
And I roll it around every night
Just to watch it glow
Every night, baby, that's where I go
Just to watch it glow

A way I interpret "I fell in love with a war, and nobody told me it ended" is that when someone experiences trauma for such a long period of time and finally gets out of whatever situation they were in, it is so hard knowing that you're safe and out of it, you just need that one person to tell you it's over, it ended, but no one is there to tell you that you're finally okay.

isn't it crazy how kinda everyone here can relate to this song, despite not being connected or anything? hearing the "sorry I can't take your touch" makes me remember my inability to handle affection, and "I fell in love with a war nobody told me had ended" is just the love I had for romance concepts and for the idea of dating and having a partner before I realised I don't experience romantic attraction. the fact that I am left behind, not able to conventionally date or anything because I just can't. the fact that i still adore the idea of being loved, but not the same as everyone else around me, and the idea of someone in love.

I think of this song as falling deeply in love with someone who is not stable. Someone who needs to get themself together before dating another person, yet they can't see it. It reminds me of my Momma and how she stayed married to an alcoholic for over a decade because she did not want to let go. She fell in love with him, but he wasn't in the place to properly love her back. My Papa has his own issues. There is a war inside his head and my mom was the woman who was the victim of it.

I was abused as a kid so I wanted to write about what this means to me.
Most of the meaning I feel is in the line "I fell in love with a war, nobody told me it ended" to me it's as if I was treated like this my whole life and that became so normal. Nobody thought to tell me it wasn't. Hating being touched, hating showing emotions, hating everyone around me, hating affection, hating existing wasn't normal. Nobody told me.
It wasn't as if I wanted to be like that, but my entire life it was my fault. Now it's as if I've 'fallen in love' with that life and it's taking so long to unlearn it. It left me with PTSD and a number of undiagnosed disorders and mental illnesses. Now it's like there's always a place in my head where I go to find out what I did wrong, but it's also an endless cycle because I'm still trying to remember that it isn't my fault so there is nothing to find out to begin with.
I'm still trying to learn that life isn't war.

âItâs just that I fell in love with a war, and nobody told me it endedâ makes me think of caring deeply for someone who is emotionally unavailable and only sees you as a second option, while still hanging onto them feels like a fight and you never seemed to process how horrible they were to you, and how disgusting the things they may have said were. âIt left a pearl in my hand and I rolled it aroundâ kind of feels like all the horrible things they said leaving one big mess of self hatred and being left to work through that on your own.

The idea that trauma is a pearl that rolls around in your head in the night is a perfect analogy for how I would describe my own trauma. I love the imagery of all the grit and sand that I've accumulated in my head rubbing together and mixing with time becoming a pearl. Something solid and heavy that I carry.
Each molecule of sand is a different event, small and insignificant, but as it builds up, it grows into something that can't be separated from the rest of the sand and grit I have collected. It's all one pearl, and in the night I sit on my bed and look at it over and over until I am lost in its sheen.
I fucking love this song so much.
Edit:
I wrote this comment during a time when I didn't know how I was supposed to carry this pearl of trauma, and although I'm still on the journey to recovery, I have learned to live without it constantly in the forefront of my mind.
For me, acceptance is the hardest part of recovery, but I wanted you to know that you will recover, even if you can't see the way out.
I wrote this comment when I was too afraid to loosen my grip on the past, and would often feel too overwhelmed to do anything but stare straight into that heavy, white pearl, but I want you to understand that feeling will not last forever, and what may seem like a blinding light will fade with time and perseverance.

1:39 this part of the song literally takes me to a different dimension
"there's a hole that you fill,
you fill, you fill.."
