Opening on the conflict in the past tense gives us the sense this discord has gone on for some time. With the intro, Frank establishes the lasting toxicity of his decrepit romance. Such is the plight of toxic love, how it sticks to us like thick poison gum between the hair on our arms. We understand where Frank is coming from and are invested in his story. Perhaps we see ourselves in his struggles.
Perhaps not. More importantly, it links us to the chorus and start of the second act, where Frank is increasingly aware of his troubled romance. As he recounts being taken high then taken home, we come to the ultimate conclusion: toxic love cannot be maintained. With this, we are brought back to the first verse, back in time, and we see the true time warp present when trying to escape a toxic love. As much as Frank wants to turn away, the pull of a previous fire keeps him torn.
Not only does this moment humanize Frank, but it also reminds us we are works in progress. Love and the end of love, toxic or not, is messy. Frank positions himself not as better than us, but as merely Frank himself, struggling to let go.
How can he truly leave behind what once felt so good? We see Frank placing more emphasis, lyrically, on the asides. As in, did she really get you so high?
Did it really feel all that good? We see Frank in a transitional moment on this chorus, attempting to strain against the tug of his toxic partner. As we are operating in a three-act structure, though, we know Frank does leave. At least, he tries to.
But even then, at the very end, Frank still commits to his humanity, still shows us this damning timewarp, and still keeps himself on our level. Of course, nothing in life is so simple. Even when Frank is quite literally above the toxic love, it still attracts him, and he still invites it into his life.
