On Relationships | Dead Flowers | Video

This video is somber in tone.

It speaks to the dynamic of
a relationship that is alive
and yet very much dead.

Relationships that end often
have a somber tone to them,
and even more so when they
linger at the precipice of
the end longer than they are
meant to.

The singer seems to think
her partner doesn't get her.
Is that because he doesn't
want to (denial)? Or is it
because he has misread the
signals? Or...?

In the end, most people will
want to assign blame and/or
fault, and some states in
cases of divorce, will
require it.

Look at anything objectively,
and odds are you can find
grounds for either partner
if you can come from their
perspective. One situation,
and yet many possible
interpretations.

Almost anything can have the
desired slant with the
corresponding language and
perspective.

In a relationship that isn't
working? Are you guilty?
Perhaps. And you are just
as likely to be innocent,
too.

As always, it is difficult
to define things in absolutes.
There are always shadings that
can influence beliefs and
actions. However, there is
always more than one side,
and things are never as simple
as we'd like them to be.

In the end, the best we can
do is take responsibility for
ourselves and our choices.
It's never easy, but we can
only work with what we got.

Wondering if you're more
guilty or innocent in the
situation?

Just ask the prosecution.

Wondering if their assessment
is true?

Just ask the person who is
defending you.
