Description
When it seems that the world is still holding on, suddenly an old love pops up and everything collapses like a house of cards. It seems like you've already come to terms with it, you're breathing calmly, but as soon as you catch a glimpse of her face, the resentment, jealousy, and ridiculous competition with other people's shoulders and promises return.
In the song, it all sounds like a mixture of sarcasm and helplessness: either laugh at your own naivety or bury your head in the pillow. And every repetition of ‘the less you know, the better you sleep’ is not advice at all, but a bitter mantra that you repeat so that your heart doesn't fall apart.
The irony is that love is always like a superhero - it always bursts in at the wrong time, promises to save you, and ends up leaving you in the scenery of someone else's novel.
