David Harbour<\/a>, 51, in December 2024, after a four-year marriage.<\/p>\nIn interviews promoting the album, Lily has discussed the themes explored in the lyrics of her new record, including relationship boundaries, non-monogamy and emotional fallout, as well as the circumstances surrounding the breakdown of her marriage.<\/p>\n
She has now said in an interview for Mighty Hoopla’s in house magazine Pop Mess: \u201cIn the LGBTQIA+ community (open relationships have) existed for much longer. What we don\u2019t often see reflected in pop culture, though, is the emotional fallout of those arrangements. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe tend to hear the success stories \u2013 the positive, well-packaged versions \u2013 and that\u2019s great for the people they work for. \u201cBut there are also people on the other side of it, who don\u2019t feel comfortable or feel pulled into something they didn\u2019t choose.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nShe added: \u201cI think this album resonated because it gives a voice to that experience, which isn\u2019t talked about nearly enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe record, described as a \u201cbrutal, tell-all masterpiece\u201d, explores the dynamics of Lily\u2019s love life, including references to an open arrangement she suggests was not adhered to. <\/p>\n
\nIn the track Madeline, she addresses alleged infidelity, singing: \u201cHow long has it been going on? Is it just sex or is there emotion? He told me it would stay in hotel rooms, never be out in the open. Why would I trust anything that comes out of his mouth? I’m not convinced that he didn’t f*** you in our house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe chorus continues: \u201cWe had an arrangement, Be discrete and don’t be blatant. There had to be payment, It had to be with strangers, But you’re not a stranger, Madeline.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe song also includes the spoken lines attributed to the character, stating: \u201cOur relationship has only ever been about sex. I can promise you that this is not an emotional connection. We don’t speak outside of the time we spend together\/ And whenever he talks about you, it’s with the upmost respect.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nFurther lyrics add: \u201cHe told me you were aware this was going on and that he had your full consent, If he’s lying about that, then please let me know, Because I have my own feelings about dishonesty.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking previously to The Times, Lily said: \u201cThere are usually agreed-upon boundaries in relationships. But whether those boundaries are adhered to or not is becoming a grey area all of a sudden. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cDating apps make people disposable and that leads to the idea that if you are not happy, there\u2019s so much more to choose from \u2013 right in your pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n
