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.
Lay with me on a street in the city
Find the still in the middle of crazy
Is this all that you wanted?
Just a leaf floating round in the shadows
Holding on tryna find out how to let go
When you think you got all that you wanted
Feel the ground shaking
Slowly we are waking up
There’s a red sky
Overhead tonight
That’s how I know
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
There’s a pier reaching out from the seaside
Breathe it in, breathe it out, open your eyes
Is this all that you wanted?
Feel the waves breaking
No more time wasting
Slowly we are waking up
There’s a red sky
Overhead tonight
That’s how I know
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
Beautiful wonder
Where did you come from?
Writing your name on the horizon
Filling the sky up
Burning like fire
Yeah
There’s a red sky
Overhead tonight
That’s how I know
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
Find the still in the middle of crazy
Is this all that you wanted?
Just a leaf floating round in the shadows
Holding on tryna find out how to let go
When you think you got all that you wanted
Feel the ground shaking
Slowly we are waking up
There’s a red sky
Overhead tonight
That’s how I know
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
There’s a pier reaching out from the seaside
Breathe it in, breathe it out, open your eyes
Is this all that you wanted?
Feel the waves breaking
No more time wasting
Slowly we are waking up
There’s a red sky
Overhead tonight
That’s how I know
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
Beautiful wonder
Where did you come from?
Writing your name on the horizon
Filling the sky up
Burning like fire
Yeah
There’s a red sky
Overhead tonight
That’s how I know
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
