Next, in the story arc of Once and Future, Robyn explains Abyss:
“This song very much follows up on the themes of the last song (2015) about coming to terms, this is- I see this as if the last song was about recognizing what happened, this song is about fully coming to terms with it, but it’s hard...
[Verse 1: kuru]
And like I can never think straight
At all with you in my presence
I got the pack up at a fixed rate
Oh no, I thought you were my blessing
But I'll start all over again
I just walk inside the void
I might stare at the abyss
I be countin' up my coin
You be takin in the piss
And you know we ain't the same, you just don't wanna admit
That you should start all over again
Leave me alone
I ain't gonna talk my shit if I know your in the distance
Leaving the zone
I can never conversate with you because I hate your persistencе
Oh no
I can never find the words
I could nеver fuckin' tell you just how much it seemed to hurt
I can never find the pictures, think I put 'em in the dirt
And you gon' throw me right aside but I don't think you know my worth at all
[Verse 2: HOLIDAYKISS]
Can it be, please let me breathe right now
Tell the morning where you come from
Do I belong here? do I belong here?
How phosphorescent, you bleed underneath the clouds
I won't keep my mouth shut for much long
And then maybe you’ll be gone
