destroying the pictures of an ex
“As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn”
“Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you” — Clean
Community readings parallel how each song gets rid of an ex through their photographs: Clean lets the flood carry the pictures away in grief and release, where the debut's Picture to Burn sets them alight in open rage. The same gesture measures the distance between the furious teenager and the speaker who has learned to simply let go.
