I like how a this and "hang you from the heavens" both just sound like songs of hate and contempt between Jack White and Alison Mosshart. Both of these songs straight up frighten me.
Specifically it sounds like a girl that learned how to manipulate the guy: dress like, act like, and make reference to his mother. He can't lie or disrespect his mother, so when the girl acts like his mother, she can pretty much get him to do whatever she wants.
However, the guy has the girl figured out too. "you blink when you breath and you breath when you lie. You blink when you lie." So basically its just this standoff of two people who may or not be in a relationship that both know just how to manipulate the other. And neither of them are backing down.

Thats a pretty messed up concept.
