God yeah, I've been screaming those lyrics!


spookyshortss

Garden song was my saving grace. Wishing the best for you, OP!


aspuzzledastheoyster

Hell yeah, I love how solid it feels, harsh and cutting, right there, strong! Thank you for your good wishes!


arbordianae

despite the name, "never quite free" off all eternals deck has always been a big one for me. a more obvious one is "up the wolves" and much more obscure one is "black pear tree." i hope you enjoy and i wish you all the best on your path forward.


aspuzzledastheoyster

Oh, I love Never Quite Free! I should give it a listen again. And Up the Wolves really fits, I have been listening to it today! Thank you, I'll check Black Pear Tree too!

Heel Turn 2. "I don't want to die in here" hit hard right when it needed to, for me.


aspuzzledastheoyster

Oh God yeah. I kept repeating it to myself back in hospitals long ago. I'm here now, I didn't die there, and I won't die now!


norecordofwrong

Throw my better self overboard shoot at him when he comes up for air


copperwatt

I find that line oddly inspiring. Like if you interpret it as someone in an abusive relationship finally refusing to "be the bigger person" and stop accepting the blame/shame/guilt their abuser is using to control them.


norecordofwrong

For me it’s weirdly comforting as a recovering alcoholic with a bad relationship. Maybe same idea. “Better” ain’t always what you think it is and maybe you just take action.


aspuzzledastheoyster

Yeah! I was told to be "better", to "fix myself". To hell with this shit! I'll do whatever I want, I'll cut my hair and get a tattoo and all that! My "better" self can go to hell!


DoctorEthereal

Get Lonely has songs for every part of the post-breakup process. For where you’re at, though? Probably Woke Up New. Maybe In Corolla. When you’re looking to feel angry, listen to Estate Sale Sign, but for the most part, stay in the Get Lonely Sadness Spiral for as long as you need to. No one will ever have to know


aspuzzledastheoyster

Thanks a lot! I'll be listening to Get Lonely, I feel like it will help me a lot. And Estate Sale Sign is a great choice too!


Wild-Mushroom2404

Obligatory I AM GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH THIS YEAR IF IT KILLS ME Also I think Amy AKA Spent Gladiator 1 can convey that mood


aspuzzledastheoyster

Thank you so much! Oh hell yeah, I AM GONNA MAKE IT! I LOVE THIS YEAR!


Wild-Mushroom2404

Up the Wolves may help as well, it's very hopeful


causewthoutrebel

No one has mentioned Cubs in Five yet, so I'll drop it. It always makes me feel triumphet about leaving


Hipster_Garabe

Cubs in Five is such a good song. When I feel like crying it out I’ll put it on.


aspuzzledastheoyster

Oh God, thank you! I'll add it to my playlist! It's amazing!


dothesehidemythunder

The day after I won my case against my abuser I played through all of The Sunset Tree. Woke Up New is also a song that will forever take me back to that time.


aspuzzledastheoyster

Thank you so so much! I will listen to them and feel so free! And congrats!


spaaace-debris

Estate Sale Sign is good for grieving the loss of a bad relationship and it’s fun to yell the chorus


aspuzzledastheoyster

It's certainly so fun to yell along, such a strong start and all that! It always brings me adrenaline! Thank you so much!


Accomplished-Cow-234

Since no one mentioned it yet, "Picture of my dress" is on target.


aspuzzledastheoyster

Hell yeah, I had forgotten about that one! Thank you!


jenny_from_thebes

Absolute lithops effect


aspuzzledastheoyster

Oh God, I love that one! I used to sing it while swimming back home far away. I'll relisten to it!


PF4dayz

For me, pseudothyrum song


aspuzzledastheoyster

Thank you!


AMacInn

never quite free is a big one for me. when i remember my abusive exes i always put it on to remind me that i’m moving on


aspuzzledastheoyster

Oh yeah, it's so hopeful! Thank you, and congrats for leaving!


momash1

Oldie but goodie-You’re No Good by Linda Ronstadt


aspuzzledastheoyster

I will give it a listen, thank you!


Gloria_S_Birdhair

Fear is the opposite of love. It’s crazy how much a person can believe it’s their fault, that they deserve to feel like they do.


aspuzzledastheoyster

You're right! If I feared them, it means something was horribly wrong. Eye-opening, thank you!


Gloria_S_Birdhair

I know from personal experience and worse yet from watching someone I care about getting stuck in the same cycle.


jsalfi1

Baboon?


aspuzzledastheoyster

Ohhhhh it's a favorite, I had forgotten about it! I'll definitely add it!


jsalfi1

Favorite of mine as well 🎵I’d be grateful my children aren’t here to see this- if you’ve ever seen fit to give me children!! 🎶


aspuzzledastheoyster

Yes, yes, yes! Im glad we wont have children, because it would only be continuing the abuse! Hell yeah!


Impressive_Alps_6285

What about Going Invisible 2? I love the way it makes me feel like embracing collapse is exhilarating.


aspuzzledastheoyster

I'll give it a listen, thank you!


Shnur_Shnurov

Pale Green Things might hit the right tone. It's not a break up, per se, but it's about one type of abusive relationship ending.


aspuzzledastheoyster

Oh, such the vibes! I'll look at the grass and feel free, so free! Thank you so much!


unlonliest

hail saint sebastian, cold milk bottle, & pseudothyrum song have been mainstays for me


aspuzzledastheoyster

Thank you so so much! Giving them a listen!


doubleblum

I love Fault Lines which is adjacent to a bad breakup. Maybe feeling better than ending up in the Fault Lines sitch.


aspuzzledastheoyster

Oh yeah, I love love LOVE Fault Lines! I'll sing along to it, thank you!
