ALWAYS & FOREVER
Said I wanna leave with you Said you wanna live with me too I meant the bar, you meant a home Ain't that the same thing to you? Got all these questions There's no answers in the end Time's not your friend No, time's not your friend
This whole playlist is made of songs that pretty much tell the same story: the other expects too much from the other. Fanni needed the distraction Arthur became to her. She needed company, affection — however meaningless — and someone make her feel wanted. What made Arthur so splendidly perfect for the task was that he was not going to last. No time would be wasted because Fanni knew what she was signing up for — and because she was so certain of the unimportance of the relationship, she treated him quite cruelly.
SLEEP
Stay here for a while, let’s weep There is too much sorrow for me to keep Inside of me I need to sleep and to dream.
I am not in love These feelings will just fade away.
CATALYST
Lie down take your clothes off, and let me stare I've watched you for hours, my eyes stripped you bare Stop me from crying, I shouldn't keep you there For all that I needed, I need you not to care
This was chosen to represent that feeling of the off shame that comes from wanting to be seen. In a twisted way, Fanni wanted to possess him for a moment, but most importantly, she wanted to mean more to him than he meant for her.
TWIST THE KNIFE
You could teach me to be cruel Like the way they tortured you Teach me to be cruel Like the way they tortured you
These sort of relationships are rarely simple and even more rarely are they kind and considerate.
IF YOU LOVE ME NOW
I could read your mind I know what you're thinking This is not what you signed up for I could pray to God But I'm not invested And you get what you pay for
This is here, not because it would represent solely Fanni and Arthur, because it gives a backdrop to the two of them. A little peek into Fanni’s state of mind.
ALL YOU CAN DO
I treat you like a confessional But I'm no good at fearing God at all And keeping things from you is hard to do I can't unring that bell I rang for you
Is that all you can do for me?
