Grimes - Delete Forever
[Verse 1]
Lying so awake, things I can't escape
Lately, I just turn 'em into demons
Flew into the sun, fucking heroin
Lately, I just turn 'em into reasons and excuses
[Pre-Chorus]
Always down when I'm not up, guess it's just my rotten luck
To fill my time with permanent blue
But I can't see above it, guess I fucking love it
But, oh, I didn't mean to
[Chorus]
I see everything, I see everything
Don't you tell me now that I don't want it
But I did everything, I did everything
More lines on the mirror than a sonnet (Woo)
[Verse 2]
Funny how they think us naive when we're on the brink
Innocence was fleeting like a season
Cannot comprehend, lost so many men
Lately, all their ghosts turn into reasons and excuses
[Pre-Chorus]
Always down when I'm not up, guess it's just my rotten luck
To fill my time with permanent blue
But I can't see above it, guess I fucking love it
But, oh, I didn't mean to
"Delete Forever" is a haunting song about the struggles of growing up and learning to come to terms with past trauma and mistakes. The song describes the protagonist's pain and helplessness in the face of their own self-destructive behaviors, but also expresses a hopeful determination to move on and find relief from their suffering. The chorus reinforces the idea that the narrator is aware of and fully owns up to their actions and mistakes, and is ultimately determined to take steps towards healing and moving on.
