Tonight’s preoccupation is the song Half Life by Imogen Heap.

This half life focuses more on the literal meaning than the one involving isotopes and radioactivity. The meaning of which revolves around a person feeling like her life is incomplete because of an attachment to another person whom she can never be with, or ever have at all as a whole for, quite unfortunately, he doesn’t give her the time of day. Her sad devotion is near-blind that she doesn’t care that she knows about his infidelity. She is very, very aware of this, and [no matter how much she tries] she can’t let him go completely even when he eventually leaves.

Or dies.

The dramatic interpretation of the last verse is interesting.

long for one last showdown from a box in a crowd
air compressed tight to explode
i’m clenching my ticket to the only way out
as you disappear in a puff of smoke

I like to think that just as she plans to leave him, he preempts her move by dying. Or leaving first.

Bastard.

I love Immi. <3
