I don't know - there is just something a little sinister or dangerous about this song that, while appealing in its own right, sits a little off on an album that has a very specific mood.
oh shit, you're right! I confused the two songs for the first time

I see love and devotion in the lyrics, not obsession.
SBWM, on the other hand, is EXTREMELY creepy to me.

SBWM has those moments but then also refutes them throughout that song. It rejects that kind of entitlement

that's an awfully generous reading of a song that reads like the conflicted rantings of a lunatic

I don't see them as refutations, I see them as "splits"; the speaker is chaotically divided between his violent and righteous impulses -- between revenge and compassion; this "back and forth" is what this song's energy is about, for me

agreed, but I think it's clear where the song's sympathies ultimately lie

Upgraded to 3 stars for now. It'll never get higher than that, but I really didn't like it initially.
