DTA

In 'DTA,' jxdn delves into the raw and tumultuous emotions that accompany the end of a toxic relationship. The song opens with a powerful declaration of frustration and betrayal, as the protagonist reflects on a partner who claimed to have 'made' him, igniting a sense of anger and disillusionment.

The repeated line, 'Maybe it's time that I let go,' signifies a turning point, a moment of clarity amidst the chaos.

The rhetorical question, 'Why the fuck would I miss this?' underscores his growing awareness of the toxicity of the relationship. The memories he revisits are all negative, reinforcing his decision to move on.

Ultimately, 'DTA' is a powerful anthem of letting go, moving on, and reclaiming one's sense of self after a damaging relationship.
