“Regret”, track 7 from St. Vincent’s self-titled album, seems to be about realizing the folly in one’s past actions. Annie was afraid of being left behind, and that fear made her end up alone. It also discusses some of St. Vincent’s actual anxieties, especially self-isolation.
[Verse 1]
Morning, pry the windows open
Let in what's so terrifying
Summer is as faded as a lone cicada call
Memories so bright, I gotta squint just to recall
Regret the words I've bitten
More than the ones I ever said
[Chorus]
Who's the one animal?
All by yourself, all of us
[Post-Chorus]
All of us, all of us
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Who's the one animal?
All by yourself, all of us
Who's the one animal?
All by yourself, all of us
[Bridge]
I'm afraid of Heaven because I can't stand the heights
I'm afraid of you because I can't be left behind
[Verse 2]
Oh well, there's a red moon rising
The door slammed and it felt like a cannonball
[Chorus]
Who's the one animal?
All by yourself, all of us
Who's the one animal?
All by yourself, all of us
[Post-Chorus]
All of us, all of us
