#this is probably the only song with any s2 centricity in my playlist im not fuckin thinking about it <3

Today on songs that have been absolutely consuming me as edizzy:

i debated adding it to my playlist for a while because i thought a song whos main hook is 'You must be a masochist' was a little on the nose but the more i listen to it the more i cannot deny that its them

i wont ramble on about all my thoughts but here are two sections to consider in specific:

So I cut out all the good stuff Yeah, I cut off my foot to spite my leg

obviously also on the nose considering s2, but my specific reading is with Izzy as the foot and Ed as the leg- Ed is doing everything he can to cut Izzy off so he can suffer for it! Izzy's the only one left who cares about him, and he doesnt want that- its so much easier to commit when theres no one there waiting for him. the song revisits this theme later with these lyrics, which only extends the theme:

Because that limb which I have lost It was the only thing holding me up

this song also does one of my most favourite things in songs- where the last section slightly twists earlier lines to change the meaning:

That that is you in front of me And you are back for even more of exactly the same Well, are you a masochist? You love a modern leper on his last leg And you're not ill and I'm not dead Doesn't that make us the perfect pair? You should sit with me and we'll start again And you can tell me all about what you did today

ultimately. Izzy's always gonna love him. hes always going to come back to Ed, whether its good for him or not. theres nothing Ed can do to change that. the only thing he can control is how it goes.

maybe, from that realisation, they can try to start again, just Ed and Izzy this time, and make something new. something thats better.
