There’s a lot to be said about the impactful lines and message of Caramel, but this one gets me in particular:
“If you don’t think I mean it, then I understand”
It hurts because it reminds me of one of the interludes from a prior tour:
“Mask: They think you fake it. Vessel: What do you mean? Mask: When you cry on stage, they don’t think it’s real. Vessel : That’s a reasonable assumption Mask : Do you fake it? Vessel : No, I don’t. But it is something I do consistently, so if I was a member of the audience I would probably assume that it wasn’t real.”
Vessel my love. I will burn the world down for you.
