White Knuckles by Tegan and Sara
In "White Knuckles," Tegan and Sara explore the turbulent dynamics of a close, intense relationship that is both binding and damaging. The imagery of white knuckles and broken mirrors symbolizes the strain and self-destructive nature of holding on too tightly to one another, leading to emotional bruises. The repeated cries of "wolf" suggest a pattern of false alarms or exaggerated threats within the relationship, which ultimately undermines trust and stability. This song poignantly captures the painful realization that love can sometimes lead to one's own undoing. #RelationshipStruggles #EmotionalTurmoil
