The protagonist is telling her partner that she is not the cause of his fears and anxieties, and she is tired of being blamed for them. She is neither his drinking problem nor his paranoia. She is not comfortable being with him anymore as she feels he has started to affect her negatively. The chorus suggests that all he knows how to do is shake and keep his body still. The song ends with the protagonist reminding her partner that he is still alive, despite his fears.
