There is only one program for self-destruction, which is not to face reality.
Liu Yingting's "Self-Destruction Program" is the follow-up song to "The Rules of Parting" and tells the story of the male protagonist's mental journey after a breakup. The process should be linear, step by step. The "program" in "The Program of Self-Destruction" is an endless circle, a whirlpool and an abyss. The lyrics mention many times that the protagonist keeps going in circles. The reason for going in circles is that he does not want to face the reality of breakup. Therefore, he wandered around his former residence, imagining whether he would meet her and imagining what the indoor environment would be like.
In addition, unfulfilled wishes in a relationship are also a common sequelae after a breakup, haunting you like a ghost. The lyrics refer to the unrealized sojourn to Nara and Kyoto, which is a promise that failed. How many promises do you have that you cannot fulfill?
She once promised to celebrate her birthday together every year, but now it is someone else who celebrates her birthday with her;
The acquaintance place that I promised to return to every year is now the only place where you are alone;
She once promised to walk into the church together, and now she has done it, but that person is not me;
It is true that the relationship between people only has a process, and there is no procedure at all. When two people start to get together, each other's shortcomings are also seen as advantages, or they are easily accepted. However, when the relationship between the two fades, even if one party works hard, the other party ironically sees it as a kind of pressure, making her breathless and even boring.

There is only one process for self-destruction, which is not to face the reality, indulge in the past, bury yourself in the good things of the past and unfulfilled wishes, and let the guilt grow into a monster and devour you. Regret is like a moving train. When you are nostalgic for the past and want to keep the past days, you forget that time has been slipping away. Maybe, the other party has come out of the whirlpool of self-destruction and is looking for another garden.
And you... you are cowardly... think that indulging in the past is a sign of love. In fact, allowing yourself to self-destruct is your choice, not love.
Like my work? Don't forget to support and clap, let me know that you are with me on the road of creation. Keep this enthusiasm together!
