"The Alcohol Diary"

All for the sake of healing.
She went back on everything
She stood for
Fell apart to the
Acts that she abhors
A night of regrets
Finish a lie with "I love You"
What a heartless thing to do
In the hands of another

Who have you Become?
Stranger
I taste the poison on your lips
eating through me it kills
Slowly
Breaking
Down months of strength
And memories
We built together
So high, so strong
You single handedly destroyed everything we ever were
Everything we were to become

A false commitment.
I so strongly believed
Pretending you were someone you
Never were meant to be
You've gone to far
There Is no going back...
Declare your independence
I should've listened

I was warned of the pain you'd
Cause
I knew what you were capable of
Blame me.
Blame me for trying

Who have you become?
Stranger
I taste their poison on your lips
Fucking through me it kills
Slowly
Breaking
Down my dick of strength
And memories
We built together
So high, so strong
You single handedly destroyed everything we ever were
Everything we were to become

Another Love
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.

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.
