ive never felt more introspective or vulnerable from a song before. i heard it for the first time yesterday, driving through the mountains of pennsylvania.my tears came streaming. "have you forgotten?" was all i could focus on the first time i heard this song, and it evoked this feeling of the loss of a relationship i had once loved with all my heart. The pain came through me, and i was reminded that even though i suffered greatly, the loss of that love was more painful than the actual loss of the person. Upon listening to it again, I was reminded of my mother and how she haphazardly injures and destroys the relationships she has with my brothers and i "when we were kids we hated the things are parents did". Lastly, "have you forgotten how to love yourself?", this line shook me to my soul because i questioned the authenticity of loss of love for anyone else or from anyone else as compared to myself. I have to love myself before anyone can love me, or even forget about me. Haunting and true, this song is wildly powerful.

@rahanley I think it's a song about growing up and looking back (not) in anger.
