There is only one procedure for self-destruction, which is not to face reality.

Liu Yingting's "Procedure of Self-Destruction" is a follow-up song to "Parting Rules", which tells the story of the hero's mental journey after facing a breakup. The program should be linear, step by step forward. The "program" in "The Program of Self-Destruction" is an endless circle, a vortex and an abyss. It is mentioned many times in the lyrics that the protagonist keeps going around in circles. The reason for circling is that he doesn't want to face the reality of breaking up. So, he wandered around the former residence, wondering if he would meet her, and imagining what the indoor environment would be like.

In addition, the unfulfilled wish in the relationship is also a common sequela after a breakup, haunting you like a ghost. The unfulfilled trip to Nara and Kyoto mentioned in the lyrics is a failed promise. How many promises do you have that you can't keep?

She once promised to celebrate her birthday together every year, but now it is someone else who accompanies her on her birthday;

The acquaintance place that I promised to return to every year, now only you are alone;

Once promised to walk into the church together, now she has done it, but that person is not me;

It is true that the relationship between people is only a process, and there is no program at all. When two people start together, each other's shortcomings are also regarded as advantages, or it is easy to accept. However, when the relationship between the two faded, even if one party worked hard, ironically the other party saw it as a kind of pressure, which made her breathless and even bored.

There is only one procedure for self-destruction, which is not to face the reality, indulge in the past, bury your head in the good old days and unfulfilled wishes, and let the guilt grow into a monster to swallow you up. Regret is like a moving train. When you keep thinking about the past and want to keep the past days, but forget that time has been slipping away. Perhaps, the other party has stepped out of the vortex of self-destruction and is looking for another garden.

And you... cowardly you... think that indulging in the past is an expression of love, but allowing yourself to self-destruct is your choice, not love
