This song works really well as a foil to "Hearts A Mess" by Gotye. Whereas his is about keeping all of your pains inwards, and not expressing yourself and your love to anybody else, her song is a charge to that same character to finally reveal himself, all of his pains and joys and true feelings. The contrast even carries over in the musical moods of the songs.
Perhaps this is just me connecting Gotye and Kimbra after a few hundred listens to Somebody That I Used to Know, aha.
