I Forgot That You Existed

“It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference”

A catalogue observation marking the Redemption theme in this song. The full reading will follow when I Forgot That You Existed is the discussion's seed song.

“Lived in the shade you were throwing 'til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone”

Daylight as the warmth a draining relationship withdrew. Living in the shade he kept throwing, the speaker watches her sunshine vanish, the lost sun marking how the love dimmed her by degrees.

“Got out some popcorn as soon as my rep started going down, down, down”

Consumption staged as spectatorship. The speaker imagines herself preparing snacks to watch the rival's downfall at the moment it begins, and the popcorn marks the audience-position the line is pretending to adopt. The image is wry, the consumption here is performative rather than nutritional, the food a prop for the viewing the line is documenting.
