now i'm completely terrified because i relate to this song on such a deeper level time to cry


YES YES YES this is exactly what i thought about this song, especially the dependency part and how it ends up hurting them both


Honestly I would so love to interpret and analyze songs like this in English, it would be so much more interesting for me. Also would be able to connect with it more because, this may surprise you, old cis straight white men don't exactly talk about the struggles I might face.


The song , when I first listened to it seemed like it was leading to something else but I never really dug into it but after watching the video and this I'm actually glad it wasn't as simple as it seemed.


My interpretation was that the song talked about that endless void. When your life is happy, supposed to be perfect, but just isn't. You feel like you're in a shroud of nothingness, that cannot be filled.


Thanks so much for making this. The delivery is very impressive but also i relate to a SPOOKY extent. Hmm. Maybe I need to get some mental health care.


Dodie, I'm an american (just wanna let you know you have an international reach). I deal with some crazy bad depression and mood swings and whatever. Just want to say thanks dodie, you are a very inspiring person and I'm doing so much better.


I'll only be satisfied when this video is used in a classroom to teach students how to decompose and interpret a piece of art


I just bought your album last night and began listening to it. For Intertwined, I thought it was the mental state of one not being so "stable" while the other is trying to help but is not quite understanding the full impact of the other's mental state.


this......is me. this is the most beautiful video i have ever watched. thank you so much dodie


When I first heard the song I did relate it back to mental health and depending on another person to feel happiness, but after the music video was released I realized the true darkness of the lyrics. Depending on someone so heavily to feel like a normal person can be very toxic and I think the video perfectly captured that. I absolutely loved it (though it was quite unsettling if I'm honest lol). You are wonderful Dodie and I hope you're doing well <3


I would rate the song a 6/10<br>I'm kidding, it's beautiful! Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful, 44 (my favourite number)/10

Your hair is so beautiful in this 😭 and your skin looks so good I'm


I want to see other artists and writers analyze their own pieces in a quirky English teacher way like this.


this is so fascinating!!!!!!!!! i always assumed it was just about the intimacy between people, with nothing about mental health. more recently, i'd been wondering about some of the contradictions. it's such an interesting and thought-provoking song on its own and this video has grown my adoration for it, as well as adding far more depth than i had previously thought. you're an amazing artist, dodie, and i look up to you a lot. i think this song perfectly conveys the message you were aiming for, and now that i understand it better, i can definitely relate to this song. as someone with depression, anxiety, and ocd and in a relationship with a partner who also struggles with a few mental health issues, mental health and communication play an important part in our relationship. i believe this song definitely shows what can happen when two partners (especially when one or both has something wrong in their mind) don't communicate. thank you so much for writing this, and i thank all of the wonderful people who have created the music video. it was stunning to watch and is currently my favorite music video. <3


I interpreted the song as a relationship that seems perfectly stable and good, "a picture perfect relationship" if you will, but the writer is hiding their pain and thoughts from the other person. They hope and pray with all their being that the other person will notice, but they don't and the relationship continues in this pattern, eventually destroying the love that was once felt. I also thought the video went well with my interpretation, even if it wasn't exactly the authors original interpretation😊


I'm really glad you made this video. It was a little darker than some of your other songs but I still loved it. (Sidenote) did you take music theory class?


This has made me love the song much much more


I never properly thought of it like this. I always felt like i ~should~ think it's a love song because it's about love. but that never really sat well with me, I guess my brain subconsciously picked up on some of the other things you mentioned<br>I think I identify a lot more with it as a slightly fucked up version rather than a cutsey love version

i love this song so much but it gives me so much anxiety. it just has always reminded me of my mental problems and adding on the whole relationship part just reminds me of one of my past relationships. i'm not going to to say that it ended badly because it was more than that. it started bad and ended horribly. my mental state always gets in the way of just about every relationship i have have. this song depicted my struggle in a light fluffy sounding song that would just sound like a cute love song from the outside to the normal person. After you released this song i listened to it on repeat for just about 2 weeks and i literally just broke it down and evaluated every little aspect of it, from the very first note to the very last. i wanted to get a better understanding of the song because i knew it had to be more than just a love song the lyrics were implying other wise. when it hit me, i stopped listening to it. yes the song made me feel as if i wasn't alone in a way but it reminded me of my past. it also probably didn't help that my boyfriend loves you and always sings this song and he sees it as just another cute little Dodie love song, which i of course do not see it as. it made me feel weird and uncomfortable. of course i still listen to the song it's just not as often, even though it is one of my most favourite songs. the depictions are just too real for my crazy sick mind


I sort of saw the contrast between the darkness of the world and the comfort of being intertwined as a less unhealthy and toxic situation.  Picture a raging thunderstorm, and you move through the window to see the couple together in front of a cozy fireplace, their little escape from the hectic chaos they face in their normal lives.  Really like the writer's interpretation though :)


When I first watched the video, my reaction was: Ew, what, this is scary and disturbing... But i Must look into it.

After looking into it: *crafting-- imean crying amirite* the message is beautiful. The songwriter is so creative T_T

I thought it was a person being helped through their mental health with comfort and relationships that were helping them but I get why that's wrong now. Honestly Dodie, Imagine you teaching English, I would love each lesson 200% more.


I never thought of my or other people mental health issues like this but this opens my mind more to your songs and their meanings :(


please do more videos about the meanings of your songs and you would be an amazing english teacher lol. also, this was pretty much how i interpreted the song and also why it made me cry the first time i heard it bc i am mentally ill as well


okay dodie can you just like stop being so amazing? thanks. and also when is your 'dodie teaches songwriting (including how to write deep poetic metaphorical lyrics) course' coming out? i would legit pay a lot of money for dis.


I'm literally going to ask my English teacher to put this video on next time we're going through the mark scheme for our tests - it makes waaaay more sense to me than most test answers do!


The lyrics, I absolutely felt everything that you were trying to portray. When it comes to the concept of the video, I (being a dancer) also imagined a twisted, dark, but powerful dance duet with a color scheme very similar to the video you currently have.


Dodie you're such a beautiful person inside and out oh my gosh


i got the meaning of the song and thought the film clip intendified it. beautiful. right in the feels


THAT IS EXACTLY HOW I THOUGHT OF THE SONG. However, I did not think that the music video completely represented my interpretation of it. I would have never thought to use dolls, Sammy did an incredible job on that one. I think the only reason I am not dalling head over heels in love with the video, is because of the fact that they are dolls, it seems a bit impersonal to me. I loved the shots of the outside of the house, however, the shots of the dolls themselves, seemed as if they were moving unnaturally. (As they probably are)

By the way, great job on describing this, I was glued to my screen the entire time!

3 months later I finally watch this and am blown away.. I didn't think of this song as showing mental health problems and am just so shocked because it makes sense. I always thought of this song as someone falling in love and didn't plan for their feelings to be as strong as they are and it's basically their first love so it's scary and completely terrifying.


FIRST THINGS FIRST: i love the English teacher vibe and how you explained this so well. It goes to show how much thought song writing must take. I really do adore your EP i downloaded  a it on Spotify and listen everyday more than twice haha. :)) Next when i first heard the song, i didn't see the lyrics so i thought it was just a sweet lullaby or something. when i saw the video i was jarred and shocked so i looked at the lyrics again. i did think it had something to do with mental health and i didn't want to dig much on it but yes it does resonate with me. I have undergone talk therapy for suicidal intentions and soon after finishing 4 years of therapy I rushed into a romantic relationship that i thought i could handle but alas it was just my own intent and not the other person's intent with me. I think my mental health broke us both. After that I had to go through therapy again and stopped recently. I do especially love the part "breathe breathe with me' because it really feels like someone trying to get over a panic attack which i get a lot of. Thank you very much Dodie! I really love your music and this video! More power to you!!💙💙


I'm happy that you're satisfide with your work but really I didn't "love" the video just because I felt it was ...creepy, but what I did like is about this video is how passionate you are with your work and just because some people didn't like it (I'm talking about me) dosen't mean that other people will not . I hope that this dosen't sound like I'm hating on your work


I always thought it was about a relationship after an abusive one, where you're sorting out all of the problems and memories and potentially PTSD from the horrible experiences in the past and trying to make things better with a new partner who you feel absolutely safe with, but don't want to hurt with your past


to me, i feel like the song is definitely dark and about having mental health issues, but this doesnt have to mean the relationship is unhealthy cause of it...  i have many a time had to "laugh away the fears" because it was the only way to not be completely hopeless. laughing away the fears, to me, remains something good.


im absolutely in love with  the music video that sammy made but, i saw it as this bittersweet type thing. where it goes from like being happy (possibly with said s/o) and then it flashes to like the girl crying and drinking heavily.


as a beginning songwriter this breakdown is extraordinarily helpful thank


1) i love the song, the video, everything about it. i love you so much, you're amazing💕

2) i wrote an essay about intertwined for extra credit in English recently

3) who da fuq disliked, imma hunt them down


omg I love this just as much as the song. if I could get this for every tøp song, I'd be soo happy.


In all reality, I don't normally make my own interpretation. I know what feeling I feel from a song, and then the imagery that goes along with it. I think the I saw the darkness as kind of an abyss... Like when you're waiting outside for a bus, or a train, and you can see the empty trees on a grey sky. And like everything's fuzzy... because it's out of focus because it's a conversation within your mind with references to others that they'll never hear.


I really love this song because they're aren't very many songs that are so soft and lovely and yet look at mental health in a way that is so poignant in it's accuracy. So this is a little thank you for your courage to say things most people struggle to say, in ways that are so eloquent; your songs are beautiful.


personally what i like so much about the song is how "laugh away the fear" sounds so much like "love away the fear" and to me it's very genuine and consoling that way and it reminds me of how love and fear are opposites and of how there is nothing to fear about love. Seeing the house burn down is only an example of tremendous courage that love both requires and brings out in people; the bed is standing in the midst of flame and will do so until every last bit of it hast turned to ashes. To me it represents the fight of loving until the bitter end and its means a lot to me because of that


One thing in particular I took away from the music video was how it was made using barbies. Since Barbie dolls have the "perfect body" and faces, I interpreted the use of barbies instead of real people as a way of showing how we are supposed to be perfect, and the same as everyone else. Just as normal, just as "beautiful". Which, is most definitely not reality, nor should it be.


this is utterly incredible. this video puts a whole new perspective on how I view this song. I always saw it as a "bittersweet" song,the tie between pain and admiration is such a beautiful contrast. Analyzing and digging into the lyrics has changed my view completely  and every time I hear it I fall in love all over again. Now that I see how much meaning is behind these words, and how much effort you put into this song, I can't help but to become obsessed again. Intertwined always puts me in this mood.every time.i.listen. This song numbs my brain of negative thoughts creating a comfort, but contrasts with the pain I feel deeper in the lyrics. I am so so so in love with this song and I love the twisted love story that the video added. you are such an incredible artist and this song blows me away, you truly have meaning behind your work and don't just feed into what the people want. You deserve endless applause.


I definitely see what you were going for, and I love it that way.

My original interpretation was similar, although downplaying mental health aspects.

More or less I thought of it as the "chicken" stage of a relationship. So its definitely from the point of view of someone who is in a physically intimate relationship, and someone who wants an emotionally intimate one as well. I took some of the juxtapositions to be anxiety or worry that the partner maybe wasn't feeling the same or on the same page. I took it as fear to admit love and take it to the next level out of fear that someone would get hurt/heartbroken. So in the end the couple (or at least the person who's point of view we have) decides to not take that next step for now (with the repeat of earlier lines. Dismissive language like numb and fine pointed me to that person suppressing their true feelings) and keep things light  (laughing away fear) in what would otherwise be a heavy and intense relationship (drinking thoughts and whatnot).

Hopefully that helps to feed your love of knowing how others saw your beautiful art!


I just made my boyfriend explain the lyrics to me and he thought it was about drugs personified because of the lyrics "numb, fine, you create a rarity of my genuine smiles" and "we can stay here and laugh away the fear". I thought that was very interesting since I had never thought of it that way


This song has always made me sob and I never truly knew why exactly but
I always got a sense of security(?) from it, I dunno. It made me think of being with my significant other, feeling safe with him and extremely loved but at the same time dealing with my own personal mental health issues and trying to not have him feel burdened and saddened by my anxiety and depression (that’s how I took the line “I hope that you don’t bleed with me). The line “Can you drink all my thoughts/cause I can’t stand them” to me was a desperation and a cry for help in my heart to my loved ones (especially my significant other), like what I want to say to them but I don’t want to burden them and have them “bleed” with me.
I guess that’s why it always made me so emotional to listen to it. I know that’s not like Dodie’s ‘true’ explanation but that’s how I always saw it.
Sorry that was long and this is an older video anyways so no one will read this i’m sure. I’m just venting to no one i guess lol


Dodie definitely is my girl crush. Every new video confirms it again and again.


dodie, can you make a video talking about the basics of composing? lyric and music wise? <3 thought Intertwined was a brilliant piece!!!


The first couple times I'd heard the song, I was a bit confused. I kept getting happy, sweet vibes but some of the lyrics just seemed a bit too off to fit into my original interpretation. I now interpret this song as being more of a silent war going on in the mind of someone. The more dark and gory thoughts keep trying to come in, but are covered up by the happier, more romantic thoughts. I never really saw it as being romantic, honestly.


Wow I definitely did not consider that amount of thought put into your writing, but that was a very clear breakdown and I am just blown away.


when i listen to intertwined i definitely just feel it very romantically, but i apply it to my own relationship. my girlfriend and i are very very close (obviously) and some days it feels like she's the only thing that can help take away the bad thoughts (as i've been mentally ill for a majority of my life). so i've interpreted it as a little song reflecting on my own relationship :)


I myself am a person with mental health problems in a relationship, and I always really related to this song. I try so hard to explain to my partner what goes on in my brain but even I don't really understand it, and it doesnt help that when it gets really bad I can barely get out of bed let alone explain whats going on coherently. At the beginning I used to lean on my partner a lot through bad times but I've learned to step back quite a lot. The line "I've pinned each and every hope on you, I hope that you don't bleed with me" makes me feel sick every time I hear it because I remember how stressed and scared and confused my partner gets when I have panic attacks in front of them, or when I told them I didn't remember anything that happened in the last week and I thought no days had passed. I love my partner with all my heart, but three years in the cracks my mental health made at the beginning are starting to widen and things are slipping through. I love this song for all it makes me feel but I hate it for being so true and so sad.


I interpreted this song as a sweet love song between a lover and someone who is struggling. The song to me seems very intimate and close. I always interpreted the “drink all my thought because I can’t stand them” as the person having too much going on and being overwhelmed and wanting the other person to help them by listening to them.


I find Dodie's lecture voice so calming.


omg yes art

this song highkey resonates w/ me lol but honestly the music video perfectly depicts the song for me because at first glance you would think that it's a cutesy perfect love song like with the barbies then later shows the sort of graphic but romantic dark side and it's really interesting idk but i love this so so bloody much it's a work of art


oh boy
i love this analysis. i made a video analysing each of the songs on your ep when it first came out and i remember that i said that this relationship sounded "perfect but dreamlike and not real". i knew something was off with it but didn't start to think about the implications of that until i saw the video. i knew that the dependency mentioned wasn't particularly healthy but i think i wanted to believe it was.
(it's abt to get personal oops) i am suuuuper dependent on my best friend and suffer from mental illness. they are the person i tell my stresses to and my joys and they do the same to me. when they're not around, i sometimes struggle. is that unhealthy? i honestly don't know. surely it's okay to need people?
now i'm just thinking about dependency and when it's okay and not okay. hmmmm


This song meant so much to me. Including the fact that this song had to do with my last relationship. It was toxic and I thought it was love and this just really hits everything this song this meaning. It hurts.


i love how open for interpretation intertwined is


when I first heard this song i was definitely more drawn to the idea that the song revolved around dependence; the writer needed the subject of the song to save them from the things in their brain. this is probably because of a friend I was crazy about who I relied on to feel okay years ago . I prefer your interpretation, hoWeber it makes me nervous about writing anything of my own, for writing anything so in depth would be foreign to me and I know nothing about contrasting chords! I adore this song, lovely to hear the writers perspective!


talk more music theory, pls, i always love it!!


I want Dodie to be my English teacher. She'd make such a good teacher


Does anyone else watch this and the video of intertwined bc they love the meaning of the song and it's just overall amazing..... bc same


Wow, okay, so the first time I listened to Intertwined it gave me this off-putting feeling. I interpreted the song as someone in an abusive relationship. "Skin, heat, hair in your mouth, feet touching feet." For me I saw this as the person in the abusive relationship being hit, then the abuser trying to comfort them saying it will never happen again.

"You and I, safe from the world though the world will try." Once again this felt like the abuser was comforting them, but then they start to realize that it might happen again.

"I'm afraid of the things in my brain, but we can stay here, and laugh away the fear." I felt like this was the person struggling to convince themselves that the abuser really does love them, and they try to laugh it off.

"Numb, fine, you create a rarity of my genuine smile." After being in this abusive relationship for a while they become numb and they just want out, they try to tell people that they are fine, they never smile anymore because they feel hopeless so a smile is something rare for them.

"So breathe, breathe with me, can you drink all thoughts cause I can't stand them." This goes back to the person trying to convince themselves that the abuser still loves them even if they're being abused.

"Intertwined, free, I've pinned each and every hope on you I hope that you don't bleed with me." This is the person trying to get help, they want to be free but they're stilled intertwined. They then tell someone else what is happening but they're afraid the abuser will find out and hurt them both.

"I'm afraid of the things in my brain, but we can stay here, and laugh away the fear." The person wants to stay with their friend (the one they told everything to) because they are scared to go home and suffer more then they already have.


Oke this made me love the song even more.
The interesting thing is that i felt all that you described but couldn't place it why it worked like that.

I'm so afraid of what i think and what a tell myself, and so afraid that i give myself fully in a friendship and that it's so toxic that i ruin it. But i will never admit that i'm afraid and anxious and maybe even totally stressed. I would laugh and say to myself "This is fun, this should be fun" directly contradicted by my thoughts that this isn't what i am and need.

It is all so much in this song and i felt it.
i felt the connection.
But i didn't know why i felt what i felt.
It's confusing.
It is weird when words hit you.
But you don't know why.
Unconcious i knew what it meant and how it perfectly fitted me.

This explenation made my head so much more clear. Thank you, you explained the song.
But at the same time you explained a little piece of the working of my brain to me, in a way i didn't understand.

Thank you!


Weirdly I wasn't a huge fan of this song until I saw the music video but now I fucking lOVE it, its so hard core and daring and awesome. I really think the song and the video make each other


I also love that the video is Barbie and Ken as they both (especially Barbie) are depicted as perfection, which again emphasis the metaphor of mental health and that it's an 'invisible' illness. Yet all of a sudden there's a breaking point and the darkness takes over


HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY
AND CONGRATS ON 1M
AND THE MUSIC VIDEO
WOW IT WAS A GREAT WEEK FOR YOU
ALSO SNAPCHAT EYYYYY


This is pretty much how I understood the song. The writer (you) being someone who is afraid of damaging the person you love because of the things going on inside your head, but at the same time you just want to be loved and be close to them.


Personally I (at first) thought the song was a form of an emotional ballad. Starting mildly sweet (as many of the lyrics of the first verse could be interpreted, ex. safe, stay here, laugh) and then going to "numb, fine" in the start of the second, changing from a safe relationship to an "walking on eggshells" kind of relationship, re-enforced by the line "you create a rarity of my genuine smile." BUT... I feel as if the last verse was another installation, confusing in the way relationships often are. The word "intertwined" followed by "free" meant to be how the person feels when with the other person vs. how they feel alone, yet still showing an unhealthy relationship because while intertwined may be romantic, if free was an allusion to how the person feels alone, they feel trapped with the other person which is obviously unhealthy. The last repetitive chorus kind of showing how things are being left at current, how the person has accepted how things are, for good (laugh away the fear) and the bad (afraid). This was just my original interpretation!

However, after hearing dodie's explanation, I love it sooooo much more. It connects every line with such powerful purpose and makes the song just so much more heartfelt and significant. Just, wow. I love this song so much.


I love how she's explaining it like she didn't write it lol


I think I imagined this song to be two people, just happy and together with complete trust but also dependence on each other.... but one struggling with mental health but finds comfort in the other persons company... Anyone else? <br>Love your songs Dodie x

Love your songs Dodie x


now that I know what it means THIS SONG IS GENIUS


I originally thought of the song as a sweet love ballad with a hint of codependency, and after seeing the video this further confirmed this theme of unhealthy thoughts and relationships. I am absolutely in love with the song and the video and I can really understand all different types of interpretations of the meaning. As someone constantly struggling with mental health (I'm currently in rehab, not for substance use but for codependency, unhealthy coping mechanisms, negative thought processes, emotional disregulation, etc, etc, all that fun stuff) I really related to the song and this particular analysis of it. I am a gigantic fan of all of your work, and I can't thank you enough for the support and hope your videos and music have brought me. Lots of love always xoxo


If this is really how Dodie pictures what falling in love would be like, I hope she knows that love can still be beautiful even if you have mental health issues. Someone who deals with mental health issues does not have to “damage” the person they are with. The relationship can still be beautiful, and each person can still lift each other up. That being said, you’re so deserving of love, Dodie! And keep writing these beautiful songs 💛


I view the song as two friends who depend on each other to feel happier then their brains say they are, the parts hinting towards <b>cough</b> sex are actually about them making each other forget about their mental illnesses

I view the song as two friends who depend on each other to feel happier then their brains say they are, the parts hinting towards *cough* sex are actually about them making each other forget about their mental illnesses


There are so many songs out there where I wished the artist would have made such an analysis of their song. Loved it!! It's a really nice way of looking into someone else's head and understanding what they are saying in their song better. So thank you for sharing <3


I have to admit I was a little surprised when I saw how dark the video was and it did make me reinterpret the lyrics. When I first heard the song I related to it very strongly as it reminded me of how much my girlfriend has helped me through my own mental health issues. I wouldn't say our relationship is at all codependent, toxic or unhealthy and I didn't quite pick up on those themes when first hearing the song but I can definitely see it now. Overall I think I'll stick to my initial interpretation of the song because it really means a lot to me and my girlfriend (which is why I was reluctant to watch this for a long time) but this analysis was really interesting to watch so thank you for making it


I thought it was about how a relationship seems fun and loving at first but then after a while you realize how it's not perfect but at the same time it reflects on a not so good relationship to point were one of them is done with life but that it was mostly that person that probably over thought things and played a part into her relationship burning


Me, a person who overanalyzes everything. Very much enjoyed this. Thank you.


I always thought that the song was a battle in somebody's brain when they have mental health issues and they feel "numb" but tell everyone that they are "fine" so that people cannot see the true pain and the lyrics "intertwined, free" made me think that you want to be close to friends or love interests but are afraid of having to share your problems with them and want them to be free.<br>Also with the beginning verse it seems as though you are in a relationship but the world or your brain has poisoned it and the relationship didn't last. Finally, the lyrics "I pinned each and every hop on you I hope that you don't bleed with me" makes me think that while in this relationship you spilled your thoughts and hoped that they would help you but instead it impacted them.

Okie dokie here's my interpretation!
Skin,(expressing maybe how the partner admires the other) Heat, Hair......(expressing love scene)
Safe from the world though the world will try-(try to break them apart as a couple)
I'm afraid of the things in my brain (my thoughts overpower my emotions)
But we can stay here and laugh away the fear (try to distract each other from our thoughts)
Numb, fine (your heart is numb for my love. Passive aggressively that's fine with me)
You create a rarity of my genuine smile (I show who I truly am when I'm with you)
So breathe, breathe with me (stay calm)
Can you drink all my thoughts cause I can't stand them (only you can make the pain go away)
Intertwined, free (I'm free from the thoughts when we're intertwined)
I've pinned each and every hope on you I hope that you don't bleed with me (you are my last hope to get me to forget my thoughts. Don't turn out like me or who else will fix me)
CHORUS (same stuff)
That's it ❤❤❤ love you Dodie but I see the song more lightly than you. I fully respect your opinion as I hope you can respect mine 😊


I'll be honest here: while listening to your EP, I found myself skipping over Intertwined because I had only heard the first few words and didn't really understand the meaning behind it. The other day, I finally listened to the whole thing, and oh boy, have I been kicking myself for skipping over it since then! The subtle changes and cues in the song are very, very well thought out and I thoroughly enjoy the song. I don't know if this was intentional, but the first few lines sound like they're sung a little shyly, and as the song progresses, that isn't heard as much anymore. I think it fits the song very well as the lyrics take a darker turn after the sweet intro. Awesome lyrics and love your work! <3


A great song, unique yet following the theme of even your most recent ones now. Speaking of this EP; I now work for the people that regulate solicitors in England & Wales. As part of that regulation they, more often than you might think, have to intervene into firms being naughty. They sometimes have to do it because the senior manager falls ill, but it's normally because they're being naughty. Today I created a shared folder to store some useful templates to use when responding to queries about firms being intervened. I didn't call it 'intervened' though, of course, I called it Intertwining.


even though this song is almost clearly romantic, i just kind of applied it to my relationship with my best friend.  The first verse being kind of a mockery to the line between friend and couple; leading into the second verse, that we don't need anything more except each other to be okay, even if the world and all its worries will try to break us down.  We've been on each other's mental health journey every step of the was and no matter how hard it got, we've always been able to 'laugh away the fear', even if it was just for a little while.  in the fourth chunk, the first two lines are a short look from the outside, or moment of separation, the times where we felt lonely or forgotten or insert negative adjective here, but then the last line, 'create a rarity of my genuine smile', brings us back to being in eachother's presence; joy, relief, happiness. The next bit, as the song intensifies, is where it dives deeper into our bond, during a dark moment, but one is there for the other, 'breath-breath with me' and begging the other to take away the pain in a sense, because they have the ability to do so.  Next is kind of the morning after a storm.  it being okay for now, but then feelings of anxiety and fear linger, hoping our problems don't become theirs because that's the last thing we'd want; the one we love hurting because of ourself.  then it returns to the chorus(?), or as i see it, a descriptor of my friendship, that those fears made up in our minds can gtfo cause we are exactly what the other needs, a joke, a solution, a distraction.

My HSC major piece for visual arts is about mental health and this has given me so many more ideas to add to it thank u Dodie


What I think when I listen to the song is the relationship with yourself. Your "healthy" side aka the side you show people and the person you wish to be, the person with no mental illness. This is the person you "pin" your hope to, the person you can feel you're being when you're happy, excited and unstoppable, the person you wish to be constant some day.<br>So what I see in front of me when I listen to the song is a mirror, you're standing inside of it and on the outer side of it is the "healthy" you. When the part with "cause I can't stand them" the you inside the mirror starts smashing things, screaming and crying and then you just fall to the floor, crying in to your hands. The "healthy" you sits down with you (still on the outer side of the mirror) and places a hand on the cracked mirror glass, giving the broken you a sorrowful smile and then the song ends. The "healthy" you, for me, is the one reminding yourself that it's okay to break down sometimes, but the "healthy" you will always be there to pick you up.

The whole video I was like WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH THERE----
I had no idea you thought so much about what you wrote. I totally understand everything that you've worked and implied into this song and I think you should be more proud of yourself. When I listened to this song when the video came out (before the album which I listened to NONSTOP by the way..), I had thought about how the person singing was finding herself tangled, knotted, and intertwined with someone she depended in on, in a way that her brain doubted and affected the relationship. About her insecurities and feelings getting in the way of her loving her partner or friend or whatever. I could see the abrupt switches between the love and the sickness and the sweetness and the bitterness- and I drank it all in, listening to it everyday. When I watched the music video, I was kind of just speechless. It definitely was dark, but I liked the new perspective, and I thought it was amazingly clever.

Dodie, I listened to you in a time where I couldn't learn how to love myself. Now I do, and I can still listen to your music and just be engulfed into it. Seeing your new uploads makes me so happy, because I know whatever the theme is, I'm going to love it. Thank you for all that you've done for me. I think it's phenomenal how youtubers like you can reach out and make a place in our hearts when viewers are around the world.

Keep doing what your doing. My heart goes out to you. :)


i personally thought that the song basically explains a relationship that has its ups and downs.  "skin" meaning touch and wormth and "hair in your mouth" being an intimate situation and again" feet touching feet being" closeness."  safe from the world " was for me as in the relationship or precense of the other person is a distraction from bad things happening in the world. "but the world will try" show that the people in the song still understand that they need to live their lives dispite bad things." I'm afraid of the things in my brain , but we can stay here and laugh away the fear" is basically that the songwriter is suffering from mental illness or a resent trauma of some kind. But the other person is there supporting and encouraging her to get over fears and sadness . This first line is a healthy relationship. Then..... "numb " indicating that the songwriter is feeling nothing or lack of emotion(duh) would say that eighter the other person has left her or petrayed her is some way. saying that there is no more laughing away the fear. "fine" as Dodie said being a lie to the person theirself or then family members or friends  assuring them that she is fine and does not need help. "breath with me" sounds to me like she wants to still acnollege that she still is alive even though she no longer has that person there supporting and encouraging her to move forwards in her life. The "can you drink all my thought cause i cant stand them" is to me like the songwriter is pleeing to anyone to pull her off the ground or then she has found someone new to release those emotions.  idk which one to choose.
"intertwined" she is once again in someone's toutch and comfort. "free" she has let go of the previous person.  the repeating of the lyrics means that she is setting herself up for the same trick that she will fall in love but just to get her heart broken again and again.

holy moly it's 4:17 and I've been trying to ur song Dodie (btw i don't think  u based it on like a true story tho) I'm willing tired +doddleoddle

I'm gonna look at this tomorrow and gringe so hard omg i cant


quietly pitying the people that posted "this reminds me of my bf/gf" comments yikes,, i did love the song though!! and it was lovely to hear you explain it <3 cant wait to hear more music from you!!


I'm not really sure why i thought this but when i first heard this i saw two people in love who then started to open up to each other and slowly started to get more comfortable. then one person breaks and tells his/hers deepest thoughts and the person becomes almost dependent of the other and their souls were like "intertwined" hehe. But agh i love you and this song so much :)))


Due to my own experiences of relationships - I interpreted the song very personally. For me it was about how the writer was first in love with this relationship, but as they became more dependent on the other,  they became manipulative in a way that they were forcing them to stay, and by the end of the song the relationship had rotted from the inside out but the writer being so consumed by the idea of love pretended that everything was fine whenever really they were both very unhappy. Both being so dependent on the idea of being loved now, kind of destroyed them. That's what I thought anyway :) but thats just because it relates to me and my own experiences.


i personally saw the "intertwined; free" part as the writer, being intertwined with a person they trust and love and suddenly feeling the feeling of freedom washing over them


Mihpu oh it's bc dan tweeted that his grandma was concerned bc someone called him that

I watch Dan and Phil's every video but i still have no idea! Maybe i've just missed something

I love how anyone not in the phandom is just really confused


listen I want dodie to do a video talking about chord progressions because when she was talking how she uses the sharpened fifth for emphasis on a certain part I was like YESSSSS GIMME THAT MUSIC TALK GIRL I need more that good shit


I remember when intertwined came out I kinda brushed over it, it was a gorgeous song but as a consumer I always like to relate to the emotion within a song- SIGHHH, too bad I can relate to it now ffs. Gorgeous song through and through, however: I wanted to ask you, or anyone who sees this comment, an open question- do you feel like the word “toxic” to describe this type of relationship is fair? Surely the sufferer can’t control their mental state right now and obviously does not intend on being harmful (“hope that you won’t bleed with me”). Is it fair to label such a person as “toxic”? Just a random question I was wondering for opinions on! :)


I definitely got the message of mental health and started to get the codependent vibe when I heard "I've pinned all my hopes on you, I hope you don't bleed" and "intertwined. Free."


Before watching the video, I'm going to say my personal thoughts of the song. I think it relates to mental illness, and how it can affect a relationship. The girl with mental illness struggles with her partner, because she wants them to be happy and healthy like her. In the line "you create a rarity, of my genuine smile." I've always heard that line as their partner making them smile less, rather than making them smile more. The word rarity means that something is scarce, so that would mean that their partner is making their smile scarce? Despite that, I feel like this song expresses a desire for a healthy relationship. I'm going to watch the video and see how wrong I am :)


im counting this as revision for my english exams


As someone who just finished her AP Literature exam I screamed a little when I watched this but anyway...
I definitely saw the song as more romantic although I  think especially after this lesson it's so clever the way you write it and used the subtleties, and thinking about it more I think one of the reasons I thought of it as sweeter and more romantic is because that's what kind of song I needed to listen to and that I still do need to listen to. The song is one of my favorites because it created such a happy image for me and as someone who's going through a lot of stress right now that was a really important feeling for me and I often listen to it as I'm falling asleep because it makes me so calm.
Also the reason I saw it this way was the rhythm and the very gentle background to the lyrics and the first part to me was definitely two people lying together, then the part about the "rarity of my genuine smile" to me was an argument and then the breathing was calming down and I really just heard it as a very calming and lovely song about two people lying together and protecting each other. But either with the intended meaning or my own interpretation, it was a great song!


i was wondering why this song made me sad but it sounded so…lovely i guess?


both the song and meaning behind it is so clever and beautiful. the harmonies just fit so well together and the song really shines a light on an issue that's never really talked about. dodie's music is just so refreshing and has a sense of elegance to it, its just so cute <3


Dodie just made a whole video for a Genius lyrics page. XD <3


Every time I listen to this song, I think of my own personal situation going on. <br>So I'm in love with my best friend and all our friends think he's into me. He's even said it himself that he's seen me as more than a friend many times and has often imagined what it would be like for us to be together. The one problem is that he has a girlfriend of four years. He seems to spend more time with me than with her and everyone has noticed. We say I love you and even write letters to each other. He's going off to college in a few months and we're probably going to end up at the same school and he said that he's pretty sure we'll end up together once I'm there. ANYWAY, every time I listen to this I just picture us away from everything and everyone and all the problems going on and just being together and being happy. So yeah. That's my version in case anyone wanted to know.

Tbh i think the music video fitted the song because when i heard the song i thought a constant fight with mental health and ‘laugh away the fear’ meaning covering up the fact your not okay, and how love is a distraction and helpful but has its disadvantages. Overall i think the song is more dark and twisted with a bit of love emotion❤❤i love the song


Could you please do this with one of your more recent songs?


I saw the song as this concept where the two lovers are more of the shy type of lovers that have been getting this bad wrap from not opening about their feelings and communicating well enough so lover A thinks that lover B doesn't want them and so this leads to lover A being "afraid of the things in my brain" but through soft touching moments that might go through without any talking or actual verbal discussion (if that's how I can best phrase it), they know that they're safe with each other, even through doubts and fears. And the humming at the end makes me think about scenarios where they both think back to all the past panic they had and their doubts about each other and how scary it would be if one were to leave the other but in the end it's all resolved and there is love for the lovers.


SHE'S SO CUTE AND SMART AND I LOVE HER AAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Exactly what I got out of it. It would have been a perfect song for Bates Motel, in fact when I first heard it I thought for sure it must have been.


Hey Dodie, love you! I was just wondering how getting an appt. at the depersonalisation clinic is going?


alrighty. now watching this analysis video and the mv, i have a hard time remembering what my original thoughts on it were. ill try my best though.

okay. we start off with the first verse, "skin, heat. hair in your mouth, feet touching feet..." i interpreted that as a soft little cuddle on a couch in a dimly lit room. like something had just happened and all is now silent.

we continue to, "you and i, safe from the world though the world will try.." what i got from that goes along wth what i thought about the first little line. maybe this individual has a lot of mental health issues, and is constantly needing to be reassured by her lover/close friend. this person may have had a breakdown, and this is the aftermath. a beautiful, but twisted song about needing someone to "drink all their thoughts".

"i'm afraid of the things in my brain. but we can stay here and laugh away the fear." this line is self explanatory. the person is obviously afraid of their own head and the thoughts that come and go. i feel as if they're kinda begging in a way to have the other person comfort them. laughing away fear contradicts itself. they could simply be trying to play it off as they're fine.

"numb, fine. you create a rarity of my genuine smile." we now see that they aren't as happy as they imply that they are. this person creates the rarity of their genuine smile, implying (my opinion) this person does not make them happy anymore.

"so breathe, breathe with me. can you drink all my thoughts? cause i cant stand them." the higher pitched cant is presumably a breaking point for this person. like when your voice cracks when you're about to cry. as i said before, this individual wants someone to take the bad thoughts away.

"intertwined, free. i pinned each and every hope on you i hope that you don't bleed with me." this person is getting relief, which only lasts a short while, as the chorus implies that they are in fact still afraid of the things in their brain. them pinning each and every hope on the other person is saying that they want this other person to fix them. and they hope they can, though they know they can't. hoping that the other person doesn't bleed with them is like saying "i have these issues that are dragging me down but i don't want you to get dragged down as well."

that was my insanely long interpretation of this amazing song.

(my theory sucks oops)

(my theory sucks oops)


I showed my mother the music video, and then this, I then said “what did you think when you first saw the video?” And she replied with “the images don’t really fit the beautiful melody” I then said to her “and what do you think now?” And she replied with “Barbie and that dudes relationship is fucked”

Me:my god mum


Why do I love so much when she puts her glasses on.


My interpretation is that this is how a person with mental illness fears love will be and this is the scenario they put inside their head that stops them from reaching out or even telling their partner about their health and just kind of ends it or doesn't search for love in the first place. I see it as kind of a conversation the person is playing out in their head like they're afraid of being intimate with this person because they think that once they are, they're going to ruin them. Like especially with the title intertwined, it makes me think of a kind of chaos and two balls of yarn and the person with the mental health struggles is all tangled up and the person they love will come closer and just kind of get sucked into the tornado that is their life and end up finding themselves twisted inside the first tangle. I think this is perfect bc these are the sort of extremes I know I tell myself in my struggle with mental health. This embodies the "I can't be loved. I'm ruining everyone's lives. They won't understand and I am messing up the one good thing I had" mentality I and I'm sure many others also feel. Like our brains tell us this is what will happen if we try to be intimate and in love and we will either ask too much of them or not enough and end up exploding or more correctly, imploding in our mental illness and it will just ruin the one good thing we had and everything will eventually go down in flames, like at the end of the video, because that is the way that our lives always seem to go. Just a thought, though.


‘Don’t tell me why I wrote my own song’. PREACH!


So I totally related the song to my own relationship. of course. I just see the first verse of a description of all the times we've been together and it's great and lovely and well self explanatory. Second verse we're in our happy bubble. Now onto the third verse about my brain. I dont have mental health problems but I got pretty down last year, we're in a long distance relationship and I got lonely and I just wanted my boyfriend to take my crappy thoughts and feelings. Then when we eventually see eachother we can laugh and be happy. The intertwined bit is so interesting because I see it as when we're together and hugging but I feel free from everything else because I can forget and live in the moment. And I think that's basically it. I love the dark theme of the video though!


I personally thought of this song as more hopeful, with the same themes of finding solace in another person but without the toxic element of the relationship. Perhaps that's because in my own experience, I used to worry a lot more about my struggles affecting loved ones than they actually did - they were happy to support me, and I was the one unduly worried about burdening them.
So with that in mind, the contrasts of 'numb - fine' and 'intertwined - free' could more suggest the solving of a problem, the lessening of a burden, and how having people to support you can help you get better - rather than suggesting denial. And the gory language could reflect the dark, morbid thoughts that can creep into one's head during mental illness, rather than reflecting a darkness of reality in an unhealthy relationship.

But I love the darker, intended interpretation too! It's certainly more interesting.


4:22 can you drink
I have pinned... blood
omg these two parts are SO POWERFUL

OH and the OOOOH "the thoughts being overwhelming and washing over the writer's brain" is when the blood "washes" over in the set


when i listen to the song, i imagine two parts of someone's personality kinda going against eachother? like it would be anxiety and safety, so the anxiety is all the negativity but the safety is trying to cover it up and make the person seem fine. near the end where you sing 'can you drink all my thoughts? cuz i can't stand them!' i imagine that as a sort of mental breakdown where the anxiety part of the brain won. by the end, the safety has taken back over and the toxic cycle of coving up anxiety and bad thoughts continue.


The video and the song reminds me of  the song evil by Interpol because the song seems happy but the video and the lyrics contradict it ,making you look at it from completely different perspective and adds an element of complexity.That's why I think intertwined is a really good well thought out song.


this is soooo 100000% interesting as hell!!! this is why i love u so much!!! i heard this song in a spot in my life where i was very much in love andddd i played it in the car while i was making out with someone in the backseat. i chose it because i thought it was as romantic as a song could be and i always continued to see it as so!! it wasnt until i saw your music video that i even considered the alternate meaning and i totally get it now. art is so wonderful and u treat it perfectly:))) love u dodes


Am I the only who wants her to be my english teacher now?


This is so interesting, because when i first heard the song i was like "Oh yeah this is a cute love song blah blah" but now that you explained the idea behind it i can't understand why i didn't get that...


I thought of the song as someone with a mental health problem has found a relationship that is good for then that can help them feel happy I never really thought of it as a toxic relationship but rather a relation that helps the writer notice the good things in life


Im young and have not yet “suffered” through classes like these... it actually sounds fun


I would love to be able to write like that!


DODIE. WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE GLASSES I WAAAAANT

Chloe Lopez GLASSES TOUR DODIE GLASSES TOUR

Chloe Lopez / she probably got them off glassesusa.com because she was sponsored by them a while ago (:


It's nice that you pointed out at 1:21 that art has several interpretations, which is why I feel that the piece isn't as intense as it is in reality, but I take some form of comfort in it as someone who thinks too much when thinking of it in a less intense manner. Excellent lyrics; you know you've done a song right if people can discuss what the lyrics mean and come up with different interpretations!


When I first heard the song I interpreted it as thought the writer was dealing with some sort of pain or anxiety in their life and was conflicted over what to do, therefore turning to their significant other for comfort and reassurance.
mic drop and that is how steph teaches an english literature lesson

personally, i interpreted the song video as a couple who are completely in love, but destorying the other as they did so. i saw it as a perhaps unstable relationship, where one person was falling apart and that affected the other. i dunno. but i still love this song


I have no words to describe how much I loved this? I adore seeing how much thought went behind every word of the song and how even the chords and melodies and harmonies just subtly accentuated your meaning of the song. This felt like a poem my English Lit teacher would hand me to analyze and honestly, I love it. I'm shaking as I write this because I am just now realizing how much meaning this song has not only to you, obviously, but to me as well. As soon as you got to the "numb, fine" part, I just started sobbing because yes, you're right, I will always deny it. Like, I'm fine, I'm fine, but really no, I'm not. Everything about this is amazing and I'm so so glad that you decided to put this up. Thank you, Dodie xxxx


To me (I guess the video more than the song's lyrics) it appears that it's about Intrusive Thoughts OCD. The calm, almost childlike settings, followed by sudden violent scenes does portray what it may be like in ones mind who suffers from this form of OCD.


I interpit this song as almost the same. I pictured it through my own story. One person struggles alone with mental health problems until they finally reach out to another person. When they do it feel good and the writer feels comforted. But frequented with anxiety the person pulls back from the person embarrassed and pretends to be "fine". In the end the person goes back to the one they trusted and the two keep an honest and healthy relationship and the one with the mental health issues is able to live with it with the help of the other person. ( in my mind the helper is a friend, but it could be anyone really. A parent an significant other. I just thought of my good friend who helps me with my mental health.)


Dodie, from Lit Head to another, I'm officially an enthusiast now!

Rev. Angelle - Custom Weddings, Baptisms, Counseling etc.


I’ve always had this weird relationship with my best friend. We’ve only just got close enough to where we are intimate with each other in a benefits way. The beginning of the song helps show that. Safety in being together and giving each other what we wish we had from other people. The fear being of people discovering how we are in our private space away from all of the world, our vulnerabilities finally bringing to light to the outside. Scared that we will either be ridiculed, or people will try to push us together. The drinking of thoughts you mentioned in your explanation is same in my interpretation. This is just… it’s one of those songs like “in the bed” or “I kissed someone (it wasn’t you)” where it highlights the shameful and more dark desires I’ve been experiencing as of late towards this person. It helps to hear it in music and in words the thoughts I can never know how to express.


I envisioned the song in a darker theme, however the video did take me by surprise. I didn't really have any expectations for what the video was going to be, but I suppose I assumed that my take on the song being darker was incorrect and that the video was going to be less intense? I love it nonetheless but despite having no expectations on what the content of it was going to be it was definatley a twist on my assumptions 👌

also would u like to pls replace my gcse english teacher ty


I had also originally pictured a strange slightly confusing dance duet or solo, but I personally loved the actual video. I love how different people interpret the same thing so differently but also so similarly!! It's beautiful what Dodie has created here xxx


well i mostly listened to this song when i was completely depressed over my ex boyfriend for about 4 months and thought of us and couldn't really get other deeper interpretation of this song so yeah..


I just see myself in this song, and my romantic involvement. Which is essentially what you've described, if only a little more stable (I hope)


i have to tell you that i'm LITERALLY obsessed with this song. it's so pretty and i relate to the lyrics, mostly (unfortunately) with the mental health part. (i'm a bit struggling currently with ed or i don't even know if i'm allowed to talk about ed bc i don't feel legitimate) so i have to tell you a massive THANK YOU because you're helping me a LOT :) i'm so happy when i watch your vids that it makes me forget my sadness<br>also sorry for my english i'm french and i think imma delete this comment right after posting it (or will i after all i'm not sure this is even real

The song always seemed very desperate to me, the sound and lyrics also created this feeling of anxiety. The song seemed to me a painful longing for someone. A heartache that looked beautiful even though it probably shouldn't.


I always thought it was a sweet little love song. This is way better!


i really feel like taking this to my english teacher just because analyzing dodie would be the best thing ever and you can just tell how much effort is put into every single word gkhsgjkfgksj i love it


If you got a B in English Lit A Level with that sort of analytical skills, how the hell do you get an A or even an A*? Do you actually have to be the examiner or the author... I mean right now you're at an advantage but still. I'm glad I only took physics, maths and history in the end because this is way out of my league.

lotus ann gregory that's why I'm no expert on any of those things. Put some maths in front of me and I will make it work but give me a creative piece to interpret and I'll just say if it was good or bad ☺

That Guy Called Dewi she was analysing poetry and music. it is much harder to explain these ideas for literature

Ellen Sa that sounds like it would be more confusing than quantum mechanics and that stuff can literally not be interpreted logically or even illogically with form of accuracy

That Guy Called Dewi three different interpretations of a single word

Kat Rose thanks for the offer but I took my GCSE's a few years ago and I know just how much of it was memory. It would have helped my mark if I had read the books I had been studying. I highly recommend reading the books before the exam. I could talk at length about how that system punishes creativity and personal interpretation is thrown aside for set themes and ideas set out by examiners but a YouTube comment is not the place to have that kind of discussion

I'm taking English literature GCSE at the moment and /a lot/ of the marks come from remembering large amounts of quotes and knowing a lot about the historical context behind a piece of writing which is where most people lose marks, (don't know about Dodie I'm not her examiner lol). If you want to know anything else, just ask :)

Your results video got recommended to me about half an hour before I watched this for some reason and I have a great memory for incredibly random things and it finally paid off

lol right also HOW DID U REMEMBER I GOT A B


I was going to do a short film with intertwined and I was going to make it really creepy but I was afraid Dodie would find it and see it as creepy and scold me


idk why i always thought it was love away the fear.... im still singing it my way


I thought is might be about sexual abuse at first, but the more I really listened he more I got your interpretation, amazing work


im such a nerd for this kind of stuff every second im like OOO THATS WHAT THAT MEANS


I live in my world of anxiety and depression, desperately seeking a third option where medication and therapy have failed to yield any positive results. Intertwined is a song that resonates with my day to day and to some degree my view on relationships. I'm not in one and haven't in a decade, but the fear of projecting too much on someone I care about is a constant setback to developing any form of closeness. My interpretation of the song was being able to find someone who can take in or absorb your problems and make it all seem a distant memory. But naturally I'm susceptible to expanding my horizon of thought and to hear the different perspective of that sort of absorption being destructive, I've taken a different but more fulfilled appreciation of Intertwined. I can now appreciate the dark twistedness of portions of the song, but I can't stray too far from my initial interpretation of the song which is "what if there was a person who could lift the burden of mental health off your shoulders, even for just a little while, you can be selfish in small doses! The joy!"


This song made me think about me and my dad, how he's helping me through my gender identity crisis and supporting me despite this world having another view on nonbinary.
---
"Skin, heat"
My body is ugly.
"Hair in your mouth"
I needed to cut my hair. He was the only one who helped.
"feet, touching feet"
I'm so scared of everyone around me, I shiver in the corner, hands clasped together and feet nudging each other.
"Oh you, and I, safe from the world, though the world will try,"
When me and my dad are together, we're safe. I'm safe. He helps protect me.
"Oh, I'm afraid, of the things in my brain"
I hate feeling angry at others who've done nothing wrong. It's not their fault they don't understand.
"But we can stay here and laugh away the fear"
Dad always knows the right things to say and the best jokes. He always makes me laugh. He taught me how to laugh. How to block out the world's pessimism.
"numb, fine"
Acting around others is so difficult  when all it does it hurt.
"you create a rarity of my genuine smiles"
I'm not sure if I smile at anyone else like that. Not with a romantic love, but a platonic one. Molded and built upon trust and years of caring for each other.
"so breath, breath with me"
I'm reassured when I can hear my dad, when I can feel his presence.
"can you drink all my thoughts, cause I can't stand them"
This one should be odvious. My dad's the only one who took the time to sit down, listen, and understand the mess in my head.

I love my dad. I love him so much. Thank yoy, Dodie, for this song.

When I first heard the song I thought of it as a kind of love song but with something off-putting about it that I couldn't quite put my finger on. Maybe implying being in a relationship where something doesn't feel right but you don't know what it is.


I knew this song was amazing but oh my god dodie youre Shakespeare

Side Note: I loved this music video, I thought it was beautiful and did match the lyrics entirely which i didn't realise at first. At first (before the music video) I thought the song was about a person with mental health problems who relies on his/her significant other to protect her from her thoughts and everything would soon get better. What i didn't realise was that the person was you but also that this mental health problem was dragging the relationship down a dark hole which was inescapable. I realise this now and i absolutely love what it does to the song! I particularly love how this songs lyrics  can be interpreted in so many different ways. Stunning song Dodie and congrats on 1 mil you deserve it you're incredibly talented and I am very jealous. Love from Dublin!


Now that I understand it more I'm going to cry even more


I did think it was a sweet love song, but it makes more sense this way and has in no way affected my love of this song or Dodie


It’s funny, I was in this relationship with a guy for a year and like it was good but I was still mentally in a bad place and I would listen to this song and insist it was sweet and a romantic love song. He broke up with me at the start this year and now I’m with someone new and this person has helped my mental health so much and now I listen to this song and I see that more dependent, less healthy side and I look back at that old relationship and see the dependency I had in that relationship too. It’s so interesting how my own perspective on this song has changed with my mental health and how I handle those issues. I really love this song and all the meaning you can gather with it.


I definitely thought the lyric was "love away the fear" not "laugh away the fear"<br>damn me and my ears

Fuck I love analysing writing so much. This is the exact level of detail we're supposed to go to in the new GCSE and honestly I kinda like it ?? Love this song ahh xx


Ive always thought that it was someone in love who was scared of what might happen or what was happening. "I'm afraid of the things in my brain" for me it was saying im thinking about you and loving you but that scares me because anything could happen if I'm in love.        "But we can stay here and laugh away the fear" was like someone saying let's not go there let's be casual and not go where our hearts can be broken. "Intertwined, free" was like they were together but had not crossed the line into love and that was okay with this person who was afraid of love.<br>Anyway I won't analyse all the lyrics that's just what the song meant to me.

I always thought the song was about how one person had mental health issues, and due to the relationship, sort of passed them onto the other person, therefore making a toxic relationship in a way


i always thought 'laugh away the fear' was 'love away the fear' which could be an interesting meaning


Ok so legend says if you're really early and love Dodie so so much she'll have a look at your channel and it will literally make your life? Please?


Wow, you are BRILLIANT and articulate!  I'm sorry you are suffering from mental illness. :-(  Love yourself. Go easy on yourself.


I wish we analysed songs in English I would enjoy it so much more


I interpreted the song as the description of a relationship where one of the partners has mental health issues and the other tries to take their pain and suffering away - out of love, of course. The mentally unstable partner, though, is not necessarily loving the other one - just living an illusion of the mentioned feeling due to the way they can use the other partner to numb away the problems. They know that they'll eventually become more and more dependent of the healthy influence their partner has and they'll get more and more desperate for the calm, normal state their partner brings them in. But at some point, all these imaginary world of sweet feelings and "being fine" will collapse on the unstable one and they won't be able to take it, so they'll end either the relationship for good or their own life. The happy verse at the end signifies the fact that the unstable person continuously washes away these thoughts, trying to avoid them as much as possible so they won't blame themselves in the end.

I feel like this is what'd happen to me if I were in any kind of romantic relationship with someone, and maybe it has influenced my opinion on the song, but this is how I feel about it.


oh I thought it's like about the anxiety of dating for real for the very first time and slowly trying to open up. like when you get to the word fine in the song, you're kinda just lying because I personally isolate yourself often in the beginning of a relationship. Like I have trouble opening up. so I guessed I thought the song was about becoming dependent with your partner


I always felt the codependency theme in the song and the theme of mental illness in a relationship but it never felt dark idk


i've always thought the song was about a romantic moment between two girls, a moment where they both cut out the noise and focus on themselves.


my first interpritation was that you were looking at love as a goal or something to strive for but also knowing that you are damaged mentaly and that that might be an unobtainable or unrealistic goal. I heard the "Can you drink all my thoights cause i cant stand them" was you searching for someone to pour your heart out to, calling out to someone, anyone whould listen.

i think your version is much more beautiful and meaninhful, that was just my origonal take.


Good video, just sad you didn't adress the comments about it needing a trigger warning. I understand what message the video was trying to tell and I think it worked, but why didnt you put a trigger warning at the start, and do you refuse to talk about it?! From what I read a lot of people were very uneasy with the gory shots, including me. Just my thoughts. Xx


Omg this makes so much sence and you are so great!!


I want dodie to be my English teacher and Evan to be my maths teacher 😂


gettin my ap lang on lets go
MY INTERPRETATION as the first verse is almost a sickenenly sweet love song, we, as listeners, could interpret-instead of an actual relationship-an imagined one, an ideal image of what the writer wants. As we go on, we see more and more of the writer's gruesome mental state, a desperate plea for the ideal relationship to "cure" them. specifically, we could also relate the term "drink all my thoughts" as a parallel symbol to the wonderful but highly damaging affects of alcohol, relating to the high that neurotypicals seemingly get when they have "helped" a person with an obvious mental disorder. The quiet tone of the song and sprinkled dissonance adds to the cacophony of pain and FEAR the writer feels; and we can infer that they've never spoken these fears out loud. They really are, simply imagining.
my lang&comp teacher would be proud lmao


UMMMM <br>I hope you don't mind, but for my English assignment (a speech send help), we have to analyse some form of art, and compare the themes to a book studied in class. After watching you break down the lyrics and themes in an educational manner through linking (you basically did my assignment, thankssss), I've finally decided I'm going to incorporate your song into my speech!

UMMMM

My first anticipation of the song was odd; I believed it was a love song however the character singing was an abusive partner however they feared themselves and what they were doing
“Can you drink all my thoughts?”
Kinda suggests that the character relieves their burdens onto their partner by physical or perhaps mental abuse, giving them their thoughts whether their partner knows it or now.
However, the character doesn’t actually want to do it, in fact, they inevitably really love their partner just don’t know how to make it clear (perhaps in a previous abusive relationship?) which is clear with the quote;
“Skin, Heat, hair in your mouth”
Setting a romantic scene for these characters showing that they are infant in love.

Idk just kinda guessed, comment your opinions on my assumption/theory lmao


this explanation made me realise how exactly accurate the song is in describing my relationship with my ex.. co-dependent, toxic, damaging.... yay


This might have been optimistic of me, but i always interpreted the song as describing a person with mental health issues feeling safer with their significant other. It may have been a false security, it may have not been meant to last - they only 'laughed away the fear', instead of talking through it - but the narrator still felt safe with them, and 'free' whenever they were together. When first hearing the song, i had thought that maybe it was about the genuine, deep, and vulnerable feelings of people sleeping together for the first time. They didn't know what would happen, or how, and it was awkward and anxious for them both, but thrilling, freeing, at the same time. Then the song moves on and describes their building relationship, them growing more and more dependant on each other. I'd always admired the song for how real it felt, nothing at all like a lot of pop songs that talk about sex.
I don't know. I felt like sharing my opinion. I probably contradicted myself a lot, but i really don't know how i would change that. I love this song, though. I love it so much. Thank you for writing it, Dodie, and thank you so much for everything you do and the art that you create. I believe you're an amazing person, and I'm grateful for what you bring into this world.
Thank you.

aha, i just found someone who explained basically the same thing i did, but they said it more concisely. whoops. sorry.


funny I also have a song called intertwined I wrote a while back where I simultaneously play piano and guitar. Mine is more about the connection between the 2 instruments and the sound of them together.


[WARNING: this comment is a looong interpretation of mine and I'm really lacking vocabulary right now cause my french-ass brain can't work]
To me 'skin' is the sensation of skin touching skin so it's pleasant but then I heard 'heat' instead of warmth so I throught of discomfort. 'hair in your mouth': again discomfort despite it being cute. So I basically thought of a clumsy/imperfect , candid yet passionate relationship painted through the imagery of a sex/hug scene and also with an insight of what's going on in the "problematic" lover'smind aka future me except that I will NEVER allow myself to pin each and all of my throughs into one individual no matter how much I crave it at time. I'd rather feel them burning me inside than letting this uncontrollable dangerous fire burn the people that I care the most about. Moving on, I completely identified with the rushes of panick and desperate needs of help while you know deep down that you shouldn't do that (=be so dependant of someone and poisoning them). The way I personnaly work (and the way I saw the pb lover) is when I panick I tend to forget other's need and just want to pour everything out cause the fire inside is consuming me. The rest of the time I'm genuinely fine (well at least when I'm with my friends or traveling or at a concert can't relate to the boy/girlfriend part oops) like 6/10 but that's enough , that's bearable. So I think the relationship is beneficial in someways to her because when she's in their arm she feels like a lively poop (where am I going with that) still a poop but a pool in a place where she feels welcomed and wanted and loved, a poop that has the right to smile, laugh and live despite how shifty she is. And that feeling is freeing because it's like not giving a fuck of what's the world is doing and not caring about the nonsense in your head and laughing away the fears. And maybe if you would let your lover/soulmate pour water on your fire every time that it's getting out of control, then maybe it will be over one day and the fire will become a teeny tiny flame that is still sitting inside of your heart just to signify that you're  a human. At the end of it all, you're still an imperfect, fantastic, complex and unique product of the universe 💙💜💖

Thank You 😅😅😅 I often feel like the smiling poop emoji when I'm happy so yeah... not the most mature analogy but it works ✌

congrats to whoever read it completely. You're a warrior


3:49 i saw someone in the comments of the mv saying that creating a rarity of your genuine smile means that they make your genuine smiles appear less often, as opposed to making you smile, which is something that doesn’t happen often. i am CONFUSED


My god Dodie, give yourself a clap on the back, this song captures so much that I personally feel and wish could put into words. I'm glad you went out of what people stereotype your songs and made one like Intertwined- it's one of my favorites and I love how real it is :)


Dodie, could you learn Dutch for me and become my Dutch teacher?


I didn't realise I'd actually really need English lessons with the whole figures of speech and all that shit (unless I studied English literature or something later on) to live. Turns out our society nowadays pretty much analyses everything.

I love it


Hey dodie just so you know we have a little folk club group in our school and we had to perform a song for pensioners and we chose to do intertwined and they all loved it!!!!!☺☺❤


I was one of the people commenting on how they didn't expect such a dark video, and in fact, your meaning really surprised me as I thought it was way more postive. But the thing is that the first time I heard this song it spoke to me so much and I felt so identified somehow that my interpretation, as it happens usually in art, reflects my own personal experience, so I should have expected it to be different from yours. As I heard it I was, and I still am, involved in a corresponding romantic relationship. I also suffer from anxiety and have struggled with depression at many points of my life. My interpretation was more directed towards the certain feeling of how a supporting relationship (it doesn't have to be romantic, it could be a friend or family, but I thought of my boyfriend) helps you to deal with your mental illness. Most parts coincide, actually, with yours. I felt identified with the fear of my mental health destroying my relationship or that I could be at some point in the future "forcing" my boyfriend to cope with it to the point that he wouldn't be able to stand it anymore. This was my main insecurity at the beginning, so that's what "I hope that you don't bleed with me" meant for me. But the thing is that, he proved me wrong. The first time I had a breakdown in front of him he acted in a way I wasn't expecting, he wasn't scared, and he managed to calm me and even make me laugh. He hasn't failed to do so since that moment. He doesn't see my problems as a responsibility he has to take, in fact he has made me understand that I'm the only one who feels responsible of my illness and that I'm wrong. He made me realise health is health, and there's no reason why an illness should make you feel guilty or like it is something toxic that can contaminate other people and destroy the things you love, that I shouldn't be afraid to have a relationship for that reason the same way I wouldn't for a physical illness. So when I hear the song I can't help seeing it in a hopeful way. For me, it reflected perfectly how I felt, and how I feel: I know that I have issues and I'm scared of them, I'm scared of what my mind can do, but I feel like he takes that fear away and he calms me and is like a safeplace. I don't know what will happen, but I really hope this will work out (in the sense that it continues as the healthy realtionship it is now and doesn't end in my dependence or his suffocation). I've always thought the song was like that, just an impression of a feeling: there's the fear but there's also this new ray of sunshine, and it might not work but it might work as well, and I always felt like the song never solves that question, it leaves that hopeful feeling open. That's, very summed up, what it means for me. It was so interesting to hear your analysis, but I will possibly never be able to see it any other way: it's now tied up to my life and that's why I can't thank you enough for the art you create.


Personally I’m terrified of burdening my partner with my mental health issues but I’m also scared of being alone. I thought of Intertwined as a song about lovers doing their best to help each other through dark times, to the point where they’ve become intertwined. I thought the “breathe, breathe with me” might have been helping to calm someone down from a panic attack. But this is truly brilliant and beautiful. I love you so much Dodie you are a genius.


In all honestly, this idea of codependency and toxicity in a relationship being covered up by a seemingly sweet and honest outer shell draws me in. The misleading softer and kind melody distracts the listener from the darker side of the lyrics. It's easy to live in a world where you take things at face value, like thinking you're relationship is healthy or thinking this song is romantic and sweet and then ignoring the potential warning signs. I'm obsessed with this song as I can too often relate to it when I am in love and need to check myself, but sometimes it's nice to have moments when you can take that part of yourself and relish in it without damaging another person, which this song allows me to do. Brava!


I dunno about everyone else, but every time I scroll through the comments I never ever ever see any hate and it makes me supersuper happy because there's so much love for this smol little bean of a human and she deserves every bit of it <3


well before watching this video i sort of knew and had a feeling this song wasnt meant to be a soothing song, it was slightly more sinister in the sense of the very rare instances of those gory words as dodie described them, but i never saw the song as representing a romantic relationship? i saw it more as of a relationship between yourself – as in the you portrayed in front of others and the true you, sprinkled with mental issues and a dark underlying tone, that was my meaning of intertwined!


I used to think it was a love song that described my relationship perfectly (in the sweet side) ...
that relationship recently ended and as it turns out it was highly dependent to the point were neither of us had actual close friends and (at least for me) all of the future plans I made were depending on the assumption that we stayed together (while constantly pushing out what ifs about my goals and dreams that I pushed aside because of that relationship) and now I'm scrambling up new plans and trying to get back on track to accomplish those "forgotten" dreams (my life's kind of a mess right now which is why I haven't posted a video in a while)
...that being said this song still represents that relationship perfectly !

Ps: sorry for the long comment... and I love your ep specially life lesson (but I think I've already commented this in another video :P)
