Eve EnslerI am going to stop mainlining my life force / Into your self-esteem: / Air pump girl blowing up boy rubber ball / You can stay flat and go nowhere by yourself
About This Quote
When people have a crush on someone or have been in a relationship for a long time they tend to become dependent on that person. They now depend on that person for their self worth. The song describes this as “mainlining your life force into your self-esteem,” with the metaphor of “air pump girl blowing up boy rubber ball” and “you can stay flat and go nowhere by yourself.” This is also known as “caving and the cave itself” (from the movie Stuart Little).
