“I wrote ‘You Can Be Mean’ about a brief toxic experience I had with a manipulative and abusive LA model fuckboy. However brief, it had a life-long impact on my understanding of self,” Indigo explains. “Leading up to that experience, I had a history of putting myself in toxic situations and pining for validation from people who treated me poorly. I was stuck in some delusion that I could help abusive people through their trauma and teach them to love me in the way I deserved. I wrote this song when I finally realized that I could choose not to allow harmful behavior into my life, and that there is a deep, deep importance in protecting the body and spirit. I stopped caring about validation from assholes, stopped thinking it was my responsibility to help them, and started caring for myself in a real way. Once I made that switch in my psyche, I began to manifest truly loving, safe, kind, and communicative people into my life. Being loved in the way I deserve begins with loving myself in the way I deserve. Boundaries are so important. The body is a sacred and fragile thing and it deserves every ounce of care.”

LYRICS
Go past the photograph and take a right
It’s in the hallway under the exit
Thank you for trying to be polite
But, babe, I think we’re already past that
You can be mean to me
I’m not gonna stop you
You can be a dick to me
It’s what I’m used to
I can’t believe I let you touch my body
I can’t believe I let you get inside
You know what you did
You know what you took from me
It makes me sick to think about that night
I’d like to think you got a good heart and your dad was just an asshole growing up
But I don’t see you trying that hard to be better than he is
When will it ever get any better?
When’s it gonna get any better?
When will it ever get any better?
When’s it gonna get any better?

[@rolon-will3362]

You’re just like my girlfriend. Justifiably dissatisfied. Just joking, I’m old and my wife would roll her eyes at this song. I however found it tickled something about youth and made my brain happy for more dysfunctional and yet joyful times. Life gets better with age, but rarely more exciting. ❤
