Betrayal that you can't make sense of. It's quite unavoidable if you think about it, we're imperfect and we're bound to make each other cry in our lapses of patience. Hearing damage is the inability to make sense of that.
"A tear in the membrane allows the voices in they wanna push you off the path with little frequency wiring" we recall moments where we felt wronged, and they keep creeping up on you like they put a hole in your brain and some mysterious trigger pulls the files back out of the cabinet, like a radio frequency you can't hear but feel. These push us away from each other.
"But you can do no wrong in my eyes" when we feel wronged, it is easy to think we're the one who needs to change, because clearly everyone else seems well adjusted, but these things keep popping back up and you can't get rid of it. We prefer to think we have to change than someone else, because at least that gives us some control over our situation.
"A drunken salesman your hearing damage your mind is restless they say you're getting better but you don't feel any better" it's hard to take apologies, what's said is said. It can feel like the problem is being covered up, and while others might compliment your progress, you can't see it.
"Your speakers are blowing your ears are wrecking you hearing damage you wish you felt better" callback to How to Disappear Completely, this may be a hint about the stresses that come with live music as an artist. We want to forgive ourselves and others, but we can't, we can only wish we felt better.
Grudges are a mysterious thing, but I think Hearing Damage does its best to explain them.
