My favorite song EVER is Scars by Boy Epic. The emotion in the song is so raw and relatable, and I just love blasting it at top volume whenever my family is out of the house. I love the second verse, especially when he says:
"Run, love
I'm the truth that you're afraid of
I'm a fever that you made up
Just a martyr on a bridge that's burning down."
It sounds kind of crazy and insane, but at the same time vulnerable and scared, like a feared villain who was never seen as anything but psychotic.
My friend introduced me to this song last year, when she put it on a playlist for a book I'm writing. Shoutout to @Clovers!
The best part is when he says "I gave it all, and all you gave was sweet misery." I find that intensely relatable as an oldest sibling who does everything, and receives what? Internal pain? Emotional bottling? Distance from her family? All of it disguised in a loving household.
And who do they blame?
Everyone but themselves.
"So who's gonna save us now?"
Not me.
"When the ashes hit the ground?"
Good luck without me.
"I gave it all, and all you gave was sweet misery."
Maybe I need help too.
"So, who's it gonna be?"
Is it me?
"The one that you only need?"
I know it's me.
"Gave it all, and all you gave was sweet misery."
