LORD the part where she starts singing “am i making you feel sick?” and the guitar playing behind it sounds like she’s screaming it (3:55) gives me chills, this entire song makes me cry so fucking hard it’s unreal

I honestly think the last verses about "I never blamed you for loving me the way you did while you were torn apart" is talking to her mom, making sure she doesn't feel guilty about the things her dad did to her and she not being possible to rescue her daughter of the trauma and everything. That's my conception :)

Now THIS is how you close an album. Preacher's Daughter is going to be a classic album.
UPDATE: I just finished the whole album. I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best albums I’ve heard past DECADE. The storytelling, the production, pacing, outros, cinematic feeling, attention to details, sticking melodies, bitter and sweet emotions, sad and frightening moments. From now on I divide my life before and after listening to this album. It’s music and artists like you that make life worth living. Congrats for putting this masterpiece together. 👏. 👏. 👏.

Besides the obvious macabre theme of being cannibalized by your murderous lover, there's something very tragic in this song, in that it's... rather romantic? To me, it reads that Ethel (the character) is reflecting on her life, wondering if she ever lived up to anything, or if she just ended up disappointing everyone in her life. "I tried to be good, am I no good?" So she acquiesces, if she can't be good in the moral sense, then hopefully as her body is consumed, she will at least taste good. She constantly calls her murderer handsome, and begs to be his, because even as she leaves the material world behind, and her material remains are consumed, she still seeks some belonging, some validation. At least in being eaten, she is now a part of him. She even shows concern for him, asking "Do I make you feel sick?" and forgives him for his deed, "I never blamed you for loving me the way that you did." It just reads as a hurt soul, whose self image was so damaged, and whose life was filled with so much regret and shame, that in the act of being consumed, she looks for a semblance of what she always wanted--acceptance, belonging, acknowledgement that she is good--in her murderer and even tries to comfort him as he reflects on what he has done to her. She was so badly hurt in her life, that she is still in love with this man for the attention and desire he shows her, even if that culminated into her death and consumption. It's poetically tragic :'(

so many things to say about this song, but what's most devastating to me is how ethel romanticizes the whole situation from the very beginning; she says "don't talk to strangers, or you might fall in love" when we've all been told, usually from childhood, that we shouldn't talk to strangers because /something bad/ might happen to us, and that's exactly what happened to ethel. and yet she tells this song as if it's a love story. and the bridge of the song is terrifying when you know the context, but it's just as impactful to me without the context - it's as if a lover is asking their lover "have you grown bored of me, have you grown tired of me?" by saying "am i making you feel sick?" just insane. one of my favorite tracks of all time for sure.

A child's empty bedroom, left just the way it was before an innocent daughter went missing. Maybe her favorite stuffed bear left on the bed, waiting for her owner to return.
This is easily my favorite visualizer of the record, and those belting notes at the end of the song bring tears to my eyes every time. This album is a masterpiece of a tragedy. Thank you for keeping the concept album alive.

The outtro sends me into spiraling anxiety, I cannot comprehend. She forgives her mother. She's leaving to heaven. She never got to say goodbye. Her mother will never know she forgave her. She's finally free. I want to hug my mom.
