So, I found myself somewhere between reading #1 and #2 as well, but for different, and yet similar reasons. Having recently finished my master's thesis, I felt I could relate to the song in sort of a blissful remembering of the ups and downs of finishing that fucking beast. I found it haunting, but almost in a joyous way, like I was conquering something and revisiting it's pain all at the same time. I read 'bitch' and 'slut' as references to objects or feelings not to specifically people, and not in a negative way, as I don't think bitches and sluts should be negative; although, I am fully aware of the mainstream use of the terms as negative terms for immoral behavior-- I have invested a lot of time writing about this subject. It's also something I go back and forth on in my mind. You know, all the usual things that keep me awake pondering at night. I always think of the best comebacks just before I drift off. So, I suppose I could keep watching this video and go deeper and deeper into it's various interpretations too. Very interesting. Thank you for sharing this video, as well as your knowledge and thoughts.
