Cover art for Cain Said to Abel lyrics by Bloc Party

"You look up, you look over, you can see it Disappearing, disappearing, instantly Literally, literally, telling them They'll be different They'll be special They'll be better"

To me, this is about being paranoid about relationships. Whenever I start one I am obsessed (but not always to the point of verbalising it) by the thought of them leaving me. Thoughts of every breakup come to you, and you have to tell yourself that it won't be the case. But you can picture it so VIVIDLY, every scenario, every realization that they were better off with their ex, every "sorry I just don't like you as much anymore", every slow drift apart, every funeral (beautiful, and with a fantastic soundtrack). You have to tell yourself that the next one will be different, special, better. (Though sometimes...you just know).

well, they never are...
