The seventh song on a post-punk (yes, this song is post-punk not rap like the tag says. plz fix) band’s, The Bravery, second album called The Sun and the Moon. This song tells the story of someone who starts to suffer from second-hand trauma from a girl. They talk heavily about a girl who was sexually and possibly physically abused by her dad when she was young, the Protagonist then starts feeling sick and anxious and feels guilty then starts to relieve guilt by claiming he couldn’t do anything to stop her from becoming this way and struggles with the situation feeling too attached and all he can do is watch. He feels like she’s bound to end up this way and there’s nothing he can do.
For those who don’t know;
Second-hand trauma is when a person hears about a traumatic event from someone in detail and starts to show symptoms of the trauma from that event. This is most common in psychiatrists but can happen to normal people (like in this song)
