Her life is on repeat again. No, that isn't true...
Ever heard the song Stan by Eminem? Part of the track is lifted from Dido's Thank You. She loves both songs, but that is not the point... They represent her life. Dido is the song her life has been. It's been playing on repeat for years-meet people, people like her, people get to know her, people run away, repeat. So she remixed the record - she ran away, and for awhile she thought she heard a different song. Now she realizes the new song is still sampling from the old one. There's a twist though, a new beat, now no one knows who she is - she won't show them. So they just run away because of who they think she is. She is excluded, always excluded, even among those who call her "friend" and she pretends... pretends she doesn't notice, pretends she doesn't care... all the while burying the real her deeper, praying that the flood of tears won't reach her if she stays far beneath the surface. And the deeper she goes, the less chance there is that she'll ever find a new rhythm... or a real life...
