@[Aniform:48709] bingo! Phantogram says their inspiration for this song is “from their personal struggles with mental health and the desire to express their inner turmoil through their music. The song represents their cathartic journey and their attempt to make sense of the complexities of the human experience.” As someone with dissociative amnesia, I connected with this song intuitively on all levels and cried like a baby hearing someone finally putting words to what it’s like to miss your memories. There’s forgetting, and then there’s blacking out. I can tell when I’ve dissociated because there is literally a void in my memory that I wouldn’t have noticed if not for friends and family pointing out holes in my memory. When overwhelmed, I simply retreat into my mind. To be fair, I do also get a bad breakup vibe. After I finally accepted my ex as essentially a con artist, I realized I had no clue who he was and just wanted him to stay away. The hallmark of a beautiful piece of art is how it can move people in completely different ways. Although there is a general consensus that this song is about bad stuff, stuff we don’t like, I enjoy seeing new perspectives. Kudos to all of you! |
