Written after watching the entire season of SBS's, "A Handmaid's Tale" and then reading the original novel. It is such a bleak story and also an original idea. Could it be possible that our society could go backwards in time rather than moving forward? As a strong, independent feminist, this view is disturbing. This song is written about that bleakness.
lyrics
He cut all my lines
So he could write me out slowly
I still fall in love so easy with me
Who make me feel lonely.
So I go and make things tidy again
It's not like I'm hanging out our sheets for pleasure
Is this all I'm gonna be
For better, for better or worse?
Read your lines / read 'em out, read 'em out
Get outta his light / outta sight, outta mind
Hold him tight it'll be alright
When you're by his side.
Nothing's changing, no one's saved
Nothing's answered, and no one's brave
Nothing's different and no one's right
No one's winning, there's no good fight
We'll never get there, we'll never grow
We'll never fix and never know
What it's like to write our own verse
For better, for better or worse.
Read your lines / read 'em out, read 'em out
Get outta his light / outta sight, outta mind
Hold him tight it'll be alright
When you're by his side
Step back down / you're nothing now, nothing now
Coz it's their world now /let me out, get me out
Hold him tight, it'll be alright
When you're by his side.
