Just By The Book

Kukl

Einar :

The man on the cross
He stares at me
He's, he's on the cross
Because I'm....hooked on our sins
our sins, my sins
I'm told, it's my sins
I've got nothing to do with it
And he, he keeps....he keeps....he keeps
The man on the cross
He keeps staring at me
The man on the cross
He keeps staring at me
I try to face
I try to face
The man, the man on the cross
He keeps....he keeps....he - STOP

Bjork :

See, I'm quite happy now
See, I'm quite happy
I feel fulfilled
I know what I want, see
I got this certain direction, see
I just follow
I got to know this
Oh, this great guy, see
I, I just do as he tells me
Oh, I'm scared
I believe
I believe
I'll do anything
Just ask
I believe

Einar :

We are, we are the cross
Staring at our souls
We are, we are the cross
Because of all those hungry, hungry
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy stare
Follow
They greet us,
Put us on the cross
Has put us on the cross
The greed, up we hang there
We hang there, we die
We're just hanging floppy
We dont even need no mirror to see
That we are hanging,
We're hanging on the cross
We are on the cross
We are ...we are....on the cross

Bjork :

Oh I'm in this relationship now
See, we intend, we work together
I do the dirty work for him
One and one, speech your soul
Quite good, you see
He's still busy
He's still busy,
he's hanging on the cross all the time
See, I believe and I'm willing to
I'm willing to convince everyone
I believe
Come on follow us
It's quite good
You don't have to think
He thinks for you, you just follow
Oh, I believe....
I believe....
Oh, I believe....

Einar :

We are on the cross
We are on the cross together
Our minds
And our souls
We are on the cross because of them
I believe

Bjork : Oh I believe

    I think bjork is mocking people or woman you followed jesus. "He thinks for you, you just follow" And Einar seems intimated. Interesting much...

Anti-Hero
Taylor Swift
I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
