Hey Kitten, Remember The Conversation We Had Earlier This Week? Well, Everyone On Reddit Says That You

“I wanna brainwash you into loving me forever” is one of those lyrics that’s cute in the context of the song about a new love but painful in the context of “pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away” and “every breath feels like rarest air when you’re not sure if he wants to be there” and “you swore that you loved me, but where were the clues? I died on the altar waiting for the proof” and “I wouldn’t marry me either” 😵‍💫

as quiet as the death of a flower

you collect scars because you want proof that you are paying for whatever sins you've committed.

o problema é que eu sinto sim falta de conversar com vc, mas não posso forçar. VOCÊ pegou e espatifou no chão uma relação bacana e infelizmente eu não vou ficar me cortando tentando colar caco de vidro

achei horrível e isso é oq importa

wanting to feel wanted is another recurring theme I’ve noticed on this album. she wants her lover to want her back and prioritize her (imgonnagetyouback, the alchemy, the albatross, so high school). she wants her exes to wonder about her (the black dog, chloe or sam or sophia or marcus, peter). as soon as she feels wanted again, she makes drastic decisions, whether it be leaving her current relationship or rekindling it (guilty as sin vs imgonnagetyouback). she’s at her lowest when she feels discarded or resented. she’d rather be experimented on and broken over and over again than left stranded (down bad). he runs because he loves her. she’ll bolt before he gets the chance to.
