The Weeknd - Faith

"But if I OD, I want you to OD right beside me. I want you to follow right behind me".
Gotta be one of the most darkly, tragically, realistically and depressingly romantic pieces of lyric from any song.

Sounds toxic af.

@SW-User I guess I can kinda see that too. In my head it's endlessly romantic in a warped way.
It's obviously from the mind of a very broken and lost individual on the verge of despair in the face of a lot of pain.
That whole song is also sung from a drug addict's perspective. Which is something I kinda relate to.

"But if I quarantine, I want you to quarantine right beside me. I want you to cough right behind me in your elbow or a napkin".

There I made it more relatable.

@TheOneWhoEscaped Eh, I still find it relatable but then I guess you need a certain kind of past.
Still proof though that even men like me who fell to simple addictions still can't kill the romantic boy in us even after everything. It still comes through in often darkly disturbing ways.
