forget

Kuiper's song 'forget' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and lingering pain of a broken relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has turned toxic, filled with regret, anger, and a sense of betrayal. The opening lines, 'Well you hold your breath when you watch me drown / Break your bones when I'm six feet down,' suggest a relationship where one partner feels suffocated and hurt by the other's actions. The imagery of drowning and being buried six feet under conveys a sense of hopelessness and despair, emphasizing the depth of the emotional wounds inflicted.

The chorus, 'How could I forget / You looking picture perfect in your dress / Telling everyone that we're just friends / Life's a party you're the fucking mess / Hope you fucking miss me when I'm dead,' captures the conflicting emotions of longing and resentment. The protagonist is haunted by memories of their partner, who appears perfect on the outside but is a 'mess' beneath the surface. The repeated hope that the ex-partner will miss them when they're gone underscores the desire for validation and recognition of the pain caused.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of feeling trapped and suffocated, as seen in lines like 'Feeling dead / Every day's the same when I feel like shit (messing with my head) / Trapped in feeling claustrophobic.' The use of high heels, cheap drugs, and broken egos further illustrates the superficial and destructive nature of the relationship. The protagonist's plea for an apology and the million questions running through their mind highlight the unresolved issues and the lingering impact of the breakup. Kuiper's raw and unfiltered lyrics provide a powerful exploration of the complexities of love, loss, and the struggle to move on from a painful past.
