Haim: I quit
Briefly

The article discusses a collection of songs that encapsulate the emotional journey of liberation following a split. Lyrics convey a dichotomy of freeing oneself and the bitterness stemming from an ex-partner's indifference. Tracks like "Down to Be Wrong" and "Blood on the Street" highlight the relief and pain intertwined in moving on. Nostalgic influences surface in songs like "Take Me Back," while others evoke a shoegaze style like "Lucky Stars," marking a shift towards more introspective themes. However, some songs seemingly lack depth, leaving the overall emotional impact diluted.
I didn't think it could be so easy till I left it behind.
It's not that I'm holding a grudge. Because that would mean caring.
I can count on my one hand all the times that you really made me feel free.
My hand's stronger than how it was played.
