I Watched You Lifting Off




A difficult part of being dumped is seeing or hearing about the person who left you moving forward with their life, while you remain stuck in stasis.  You think you can make things work somehow, that your relationship can not only be repaired, but be made better and stronger than ever before.  And then, as you turn to tell the person your plan to resolve all the issues, they are walking out the door.

Adem's "Launch Yourself" presents this situation, and while the dumped one has his back turned, the other person rockets herself into space, and towards better things:  "You pressed / The button / To launch yourself / While I was outside / You left me stranded / While you broke through / The atmosphere."
