The Game of Thrones-esque aesthetic of the music video for myah’s “Dodging Bullets” is perfect for a song about loving the wrong person. The singer’s confident vocals match the sentiments within that seem confused and undeterred by the object of her love rebuffing her amorous gestures at the expense of keeping on getting hurt the way many of us will allow ourselves to be hurt by those who we set our mind to getting into our lives because it feels right and in an alternative universe maybe it would be but blinded by passion and fantasies that should be a reality but aren’t. The lines “built my future around you/now I’m stuck in the present without you/trust issues, long overdue/my life’s a mess living in deja vu” vividly sum up the situation because maybe at some point it seemed like something was possible and it hurts so much to find out it never really was. The finely syncopated bass line exchanging moments with the vocals and the slightly fuzzy guitar riff gives the song an uplift that carries an emotional momentum to the song’s conclusion hinting that despite our folly we can survive and overcome the situation and turn things around even if it doesn’t end up in an ideal situation.
