How Does The Song “pulling Teeth” By Green Day Relate To Psychology?

How does this song relate to psychology (in any way possible)
Here are the lyrics:
I’m all busted up
Broken bones and nasty cuts
Accidents will happen
But this time I can’t get up
She comes to check on me
Making sure I’m on my knees
After all she’s the one
Who put me in this state
Is she ultra-violent?
Is she disturbed?
I better tell her that I love her
Before she does it all over again
Oh god, she’s killing me!!!
For now I’ll lie around
Hell, that’s all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love is true
Is she ultra-violent?
Is she disturbed?
I better tell her that I love her
Before she does it all over again
Oh god, she’s killing me!!!
Looking out my window for
Someone that’s passing by
No one knows I’m locked in here
All I do is cry
For now I’ll lie around
hell, that’s all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love is true

the fact that the love for someone was given so strongly and in return was nothing caused the person to steer into severe depression. after that, all you need to do is explain a little bit on how the lyrics tie into that (give some lyrics for support) and talk a little bit about depression itself.
hope this helps. i’m not that much of a Green Day fan but i still like listening to songs that have hidden meanings

I’m pretty sure they have a Sub/Dom relationship, at least psychologically.
She’s eating him up, and all he has to do is stick around and say his love is true.
It is a sad song.
I still love Green Day, though:)
Good luck
