'Cause I knew you Steppin' on the last train Marked me like a bloodstain, I I knew you Tried to change the ending Peter losing Wendy, I I knew you Leavin' like a father Running like water, I And when you are young, they assume you know nothing

But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss

I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs The smell of smoke would hang around this long 'Cause I knew everything when I was young I knew I'd curse you for the longest time”

Okay I had to put the entire bridge of this song because like... POST CANON EURYDICE TEAS.... the song as a whole doesn’t exactly fit them but this section UGH “I knew you tried to change the ending” like I would like to Perish.

exile

No explanation needed!!!!! This song is about H/P!!!!! I’m just gonna put some of the most H/P lyrics.

“I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending You're not my homeland anymore So what am I defending now? You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out I think I've seen this film before”

“So step right out, there is no amount Of crying I can do for you All this time We always walked a very thin line You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out) You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs) All this time I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind) I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around) 'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)”

“And just like a folk song Our love will be passed on” “It's a love song It's a tale of a love from long again It's a sad song We keep singing even so It's an old song It's an old tale from way back when And we're gonna sing it again and again”

this is me trying

“I didn't know if you'd care if I came back I have a lot of regrets about that”

“And maybe I don't quite know what to say But I'm here in your doorway I just wanted you to know that this is me trying”

“They told me all of my cages were mental So I got wasted like all my potential And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad I have a lot of regrets about that I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here Pouring out my heart to a stranger But I didn't pour the whiskey”

Ugh this song really hurts me heart because it’s SO Hadesephone. From the struggle to apologize and communicate to the alcohol use numbing feelings, it reminds me of them so much, especially circa How Long.

invisible string

“A string that pulled me Out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire Chains around my demons Wool to brave the seasons One single thread of gold Tied me to you”

“Time, wondrous time Gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies And it's cool Baby, with me And isn't it just so pretty to think All along there was some Invisible string Tying you to me?”

THE STRINGS OF LITERAL FATE TYING ORPHYDICE TOGETHER.... “all I know is you’re someone I have always known.” Orpheus was the thread of gold pulling Eurydice out of her “lonely life” and past trauma.

peace

“And you know that I'd swing with you for the fences Sit with you in the trenches Give you my wild, give you a child Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other Family that I chose, now that I see your brother as my brother Is it enough? But there's robbers to the east, clowns to the west I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best But the rain is always gonna come if you're standin' with me

But I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm If your cascade, ocean wave blues come All these people think love's for show But I would die for you in secret The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?”
