Die My Love

Well, my take is the couple feels fundamentally incompatible, almost like a cat and a dog. Even in their more physical interactions, she comes across as sharp, aggressive, and feline, while he feels playful and harmless, like a dog pretending to fight. Details, like her scratching the walls, reinforce that imagery. The biggest difference between them is their attitude toward life. Her husband seems content with simply living the life he already has, without wanting anything more. She, however, is driven by a constant feeling that something is missing. Even though she cannot define what she wants, she refuses to let go of that longing. Rather than settling, she would rather destroy herself than abandon her expectations of life.
