Lyrics
Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so

You said your mother only smiled on her TV show

You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope

I hope you make it to the day you're 28 years old



You're dripping like a saturated sunlight

You're spilling like an overflowing sink

You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece

And now I'm tearing through the pages and the ink



Everything was blue

His pills, his hands, his jeans

And now I'm covered in the colors

Torn apart at the seams



And makes me blue

And makes me blue



Everything was blue

Everything was blue

Oooooh this is so interesting! It's rewarding to see Elliot through the lens of the people that care about him but are also deeply affected by how fucked up he is (and by his actions, whiiiich, lets be real, are not always great). I love this show and I generally like unreliable narrators, but it can be very frustrating to ONLY see things through his eyes, sometimes. You did a great job of pulling out what the source does give us of an outsider's POV. I really loved seeing a vid about the women of this show, who are so complex and don't really get as much airtime/focus as I'd like in canon. Thank you for making this! I really loved it. <3

I'm in love Halsey's music right now for some reason.

I dig the Trenton parts especially. She's not in enough vids.

Oh oh. This is really interesting. I love all these ladies. Gosh. (this is not coherent feedback i am sorry, but i like this a lot!)

GOSH, that was good! I loved your music choice, that you went with a slow/acoustic song, considering the source. It's really great that you focused on the women and their view of Elliot.
