Whenever I listen to this song, I consider the reference to jack as being my dark and depressive side.. The Jill in me is the happy or normal me trapped inside the same body. I know music is up to interpretation .. does this call to anyone else?

PS. the rating is for the video below. I am not sure if its enough to trigger for someone but better safe than sorry.

"half jac
k"- The Dresden Dolls

half underwater
i'm half my mother's daughter
a fractions left up to dispute
the whole collection
half off the price they're asking
in the halfway house of ill repute


half accidental
half pain full instrumental
i have a lot to think about
you think they're joking?
you have to go provoke him...
i guess it's high time you found out


it's half biology and half corrective surgery gone wrong
you'll notice something funny if you hang around here for too
long ago in some black hole before they had these pills to take it back
i'm half jill
and half jack


two halves are equal
a cross between two evils
it's not an enviable lot
but if you listen
you'll learn to hear the difference
between the halfs and the half nots


and when i let him in i feel my stitches getting sicker
i try to wash him out but like she said:the blood is thicker
i see my mother in my face
but only when i travel
i run as fast as i can run
but
jack comes tumbling after....


and when i'm brave enough and find a clever way to kick him out
and i'm so high not even you and all your love could bring me down
on 83rd he never found the magic words to change this fact:
i'm half jill
and half jack


i'm halfway home now
half hoping
for a showdown
cause i'm not big enough to house this crowd
it might destroy me
but i'd sacrifice my body
if it meant i'd get the jack part OUT


see

jack

run.....

I think there is a Jack in all of us. it listens and understands us as well as we know ourselves... maybe even better. it knows our hopes and dreams... knows where and how we hurt... and it feeds off of it. our pain makes Jack grow stronger... and he only has one mission in life...
