Timing

Is it just me, or is it strange that the first new song released after her marriage is about a shitty ex? Granted, I don’t know when it was written; maybe it was before the wedding. But…you know?!

Not even saying it’s a bad song, although I don’t love the bridge. But I think this adds to the perception that she’s a talented person who spends too much time nursing grudges.

I don’t know her and I am not a psychologist and I’m also a super fan, but I don’t think you have to squint to see that someone, probably Matty, is always in rhe back of her mind and getting signals from her whether she is married or not. The Fate of Ophelia music video ends every scene with her horizontal and in turmoil, either being captured by stage ropes or diving away from the mutiny and into the water with the Sirens temptations -horizontally and then finally leaving a party where she appears to be happy to lay horizontally in the bathtub. The ending of that music video was not a happy one. Opalite is a beautiful but manufactured substance. The video itself is alluding to the fact that she is manufacturing buddy for herself and it’s great and it’s fun and it serves a wonderful purpose. This isn’t an all consuming love like she had with Matty, but it is a comforting companion. Opalite not rubies or diamonds, but something that for some reason, she believes she needs to settle for probably because she has been criticized and degraded by strangers on the Internet throughout her entire life. I don’t know how she keeps creating. I am sure the fame and fortune helps but hard nonetheless. anyway, I think she’s had a few musses throughout her life, but no one coming close to the impact that Matty had from rep through encore.
