thinking abt jackie and wilson by hozier as a verge (young leif series) song. thinking abt them meeting leif and thinking abt

INTRO VERSE: so tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes / no better version of me I could pretend to be tonight

^verge living every day jumping and surviving to get to tomorrow, slowly ground down to feel tired of life, with the red in their eyes from the dryness of the desert they meet leif in.

soul deep in the swill w the most familiar of swine/for reasons wretched and divine

^verge being born into a life of crime for the most cruel of crimes and that rejection and hate from other ppl permeating their soul

^^“for reasons wretched” vapus being destroyed by the hubris of their plans “and divine” the incredible power that could have been achieved

she blows outta nowhere roman candle of the wild / laughing her way through my feeble disguise

^leif literally showing up on a broken ship like a firecracker in their life to spark something new / he sees through verge as a terrifying person and breaks their guard down so easily

no other version I would rather be tonight / and lord! she found me just in time

^feeling more and more relaxed with leif, beginning to feel happy in the moment they found leif when they did

cause with my mid youth crisis all said and done / I need to be youthfully felt, cause god I’ve never felt young.

^verge makes the choice to kiss leif in realizing they need to feel something they’d never been able to before

CHORUS

she’s gonna save me call me baby run her hands through my hair.

^leif being one of the only ppl verge could ever let close to run his hands in their hair (and not pull it).

she’ll know me crazy soothe me daily / better yet she wouldn’t care.

^leif being the one person who knows them so intimately, calms them in all their crises, and most importantly doesn’t care what kinds of sins other ppl put on their shoulders. he just loves them.

we’ll steal a lexus be detectives ride round picking up clues

^being on the nancy sinatra and living their fantasy life of being criminals with a purpose in their small family together

we’ll name our children jackie and wilson / raise em on rhythm and blues

^the ultimate fantasy of being able to settle down for verge. even if they don’t want kids it’s the yearning for a life they wish they could have. something about being Able to settle down that’s so appealing yet so far. / ^^another piece of that fantasy, that they’re gonna raise their kids on a steady rhythm, something calm and soulful and significantly Normal in their own way.

VERSE

lord! it’d be great to find a place we could escape sometime / me and my isis growing black irises in the sunshine

^verge starting to consciously wonder about some kind of normalcy to their life. / "me and my isis" is usually referred to as the goddess of healing and love, so the healing and love of verge through leif and “black irises” could be funeral flowers and maybe them knowing the fantasy’s doomed from the start.

every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside / we’d sit back and watch the world go by / happy to lie back, watch it burn and rust / we tried the world good god it wasn’t for us

^for a moment this was their life. to say fuck the world that hurt them badly and let it burn as long as they had an escape with leif.

CHORUS

she’s gonna save me call me baby run her hands through my hair / she’ll know me crazy soothe me daily / better yet she wouldn’t care / we’ll steal her lexus be detectives / ride round picking up clues / we’ll name our children jackie and wilson / raise em on rhythm and blue

^repeated again like they're reliving their life with leif and then.

VERSE

cut clean from the dream last night let my mind reset / looking up from a cigarette and she’s already left

^waking up the next day after their escape from minsky and lafftrax without leif (who left them voluntarily).

I start digging up the yard for what’s left of me in our little vignette / for whatever poor soul is coming next

^falling back into their old life knowing they can’t stay the same person they were with leif in order to survive.

END CHORUS

she’s gonna save me call me baby run her hands through my hair / she’ll know me crazy soothe me daily / better yet she wouldn’t care / we’ll steal her lexus be detectives / ride round picking up clues / we’ll name our children jackie and wilson / raise em on rhythm and blues

^the lingering memories of a life they could have had but could never have actually had it.

Cleo's appearance had always shocked whoever they met.

Her body, by all accounts, was an odd amalgamation of parts. Mostly human, but it held parts akin to insects.

When cleo was first introduced to hermits, she had dug herself out of the ground right in front of them.

The scratched, cracked chitin covering weakened flesh stitched together unnerved the ragtag group. All but Joe.

So naturally they stuck together.

Eventually the others came around too. Though the new ones were always weary to start.

Quite frankly, cleo was just happy she wasn't killed on sight. But that's another story.

When the sixth migration came around however, someone she hadn't expected joined in too.

A watcher who called himself grian.

They had never met before. They didn't need to.

They knew what the other was. One, a watcher. The other, a watcher's subject. Though one was much easier to place than the other.

As watcher's slowly became known amongst the group, it became clear that Grian was one. Specifically, a watcher that seems to be closely related to chaos and mischief.

But cleo? Everyone figured she'd simply stitched on the chitin of beetles for fun. Or protection. Either way, they didn't bother to question. Cleo was nice enough, and they didn't want to piss her off.

Though, as time continued, things became more,,, unstable in the world.

Each migration after brought its own issues, weakening the wall between watchers and the normal realm.

This ultimately unveiled cleo for what she was.

Sometime between a migration, cleo decided to speak up first before it became a problem.

There wasn't exactly any issue per se, as they were already used to Grian. And the forthcoming of other watchers who had newfound interest in the hermits.

That was a relief.

But there was a slight...weariness.

Few interacted with her and she returned the favor.

She found it best this way. Saddening. But for the best.

Eventually, the hermits warmed up again. Cleo's watcher-influenced origins didn't bother them before. They simply just didn't know, and now they did. And now they were ready to accept those facts they had previously without realizing.

That is until during the 9th foundation. And the rifts.

Grumbot, and the subsequent rifts, were nothing but sheer trouble.

Most of the resulting antics were eventually handled but,,, not with ease.

Cleo's ressurector came through. It was nice enough, especially considering it was a watcher. But so was said watcher's enemy, and it was far from amiable.

The ressurector was associated simply with decay, and perhaps the rest of the life cycle. That much was beyond cleo.

And the other, bloodlust and violence.

So, perhaps, it was rather natural the two would be enemies. With cleo caught in the middle.

It's how she died the first time.

So why not again?

I really hate when I accidentally come across the stupidest ‘theories’ about Taylor Swift songs from casual or new fans on tiktok bc like. Well that’s simply not correct. And we all know that. Like it’s just factually incorrect to say question is about Justin Bieber. It’s just incredibly stupid. Yeah she wrote out of the woods about Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. You figured it out. Congrats! Haven’t we suffered enough
