In a poignant exploration of toxic love, this song delves into the complexity of a relationship that is both passionate and destructive. The repeated phrase "dancing on the broken glass" serves as an apt metaphor for persisting in a harmful relationship, highlighting the danger and pain involved. The lyrics express regret over the couple's inability to prevent their love from turning into conflict, despite their shared potential for something better. This self-destructive pattern is emphasized through phrases like "destroying everything we ever touched". The song ends on a note of melancholic acceptance, suggesting that although they are aware of their doomed dynamic, they choose to continue 'dancing', or engaging in their dysfunctional relationship.
