So, I've been finding a lot of healing in music lately. I've been really into Kat Dahlia. She was in a toxic relationship with an addict and several of her songs are about that experience. I saw her live and it was awesome! She spoke openly about her experience with codependency and loving someone toxic. She was so encouraging and positive and real. I had such a great time
so much music is about the addicts experience, it's refreshing to hear music from the perspective of someone affected by the addict's behavior. I can relate
anyone have any suggestions for other artists that explore this topic? Here are some lyrics and links to some Kat Dahlia.
Devils Command
This video pretty much sums up the experience I had with my ex
Said he was fearless
Said he was brave
But he was too haunted, to ever be saved
But I faced you, by myself
Every night you, lost the fight to, the stash on your shelf
And you'd breathe, evil in and out
Slowly, awareness is fading out
Here comes his twisted smile, and that wicked raised eyebrow
Staring at me, Our legs are falling to the ground
And if I try to understand
All the workings of this man
I'd be losing every hand
He's at the devils command
Said I would leave him
But I would always stay
Didn't have the courage, to leave our love in disarray
So i'd face you, by myself. Every night you, lost the fight to, the stash on your shelf
And you'd breathe, evil in and out
Slowly, our love is fading out
The High
The conundrum of fearing and loving someone
You made your promises
I've held on believing in all of them
Love timeless ; that`s what you said
So why's, your past coming back for its revenge
My arms, yea they're reaching for stars
But they`re covered in scars
Oh baby you`re the bleeding of my heart
Yea your touch left a mark
I`m no light I`m no dark
Oh baby you`re the most important high
You left a stain
And now I wear it like I`m wearing my own name
Are we the same
You throw your spite, I`ll take a bite
So sublime
Do Better
And something's heard repeatedly "I will change"
He said, "That he's in great pain and he wants to know if you can help
him."
"Alright, would you tell him to just relax and I'll be back as soon as I can
With some medicine. "
If I tried to be blind,
Through the signs I'd decide.
You are real, you are mine,
But I ain't blind.
I'm ain't trying for you,
Baby I resign.
And I'm hearing all the chimes,
I'll follow til' I find.
And if I had a thousand lives,
I would leave you a thousand times.
And my mind goes through the lines,
And memories of your crimes.
I ain't trying for you,
Baby I resign.
And he says I know, I know, I know
I hurt you one before
But I can't do better
Please let me do better
