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.
So I just wait by the door
Don't know what I'm heading for
And if it's me and the beat
I'm keeping one on the floor
You're like a landline
Always keep my hands tied
Wonder how I like you and lie to you at the same damn time
What's up? Uh
Steady on repeat
I was numb
Give me third degree
Burns, baby
I'm only window shopping
No room in my closet
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one, only one
Only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one, only one
Ten, nine, everybody
Gimme, gimme more
FaceTime, crazy 'cause my face is always bored
What's your take?
Never have enough space
Waste a lot of time on you
And I'm gonna waste some more, okay
Fight for it
Baby, I'm alone
More and more surprised
That I'm more and more at home
Stop playing around
Look at me now
I'm tasting
A little bit of everything
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one, only one
Only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one, only one
Ever since my license
It got suspended
Worry 'bout the entrance
Worry 'bout the exit
How you so selective?
Ain't been selected
Don't you got a Mustang?
You don't wanna rev it?
I don't ever wanna be in pain
Stay up all night and the mornings never came
React, and now you wanna call it crazy
She ask, am I a figment of imagination?
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one, only one
Only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one, only one
Don't know what I'm heading for
And if it's me and the beat
I'm keeping one on the floor
You're like a landline
Always keep my hands tied
Wonder how I like you and lie to you at the same damn time
What's up? Uh
Steady on repeat
I was numb
Give me third degree
Burns, baby
I'm only window shopping
No room in my closet
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one, only one
Only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one you need
I wanna be the only one, only one

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."
