Steen's "HER" explores the uncomfortable in-between of desire, deceit, and the messy feelings that complicate relationships. The lyrics describe a narrator trying to communicate, wondering whether they are attracted, and wishing they could stop someone from getting hurt. We have hand-holding references amid bad news that add emotional weight, suggesting a bond formed through shared trouble. "HER" explores the tension between what we feel, what we pretend to feel, and what we are hard-pressed to admit when another person's feelings are involved.
