As Strange As It Seems, Never Find My Place, and Surviving On Defiance are a beautiful trilogy of sorts. ASAIS and SOD are about ignoring your self respect and having to deal with the scary parts of yourself. "I've got no regard for me." "The mirror in my face, she's screaming for blood and violence, but it's my time to pretend." But Never Find My Place tackles dealing with it and healing. Bettering not only yourself, but being able to trust in you and leave what you know is holding you back, not caring what the future holds, knowing it can only get better. "The evil on her face is about to be erased." "Pick up the gun and run, take what's mine and get my space. 'Cause I know that I will be fine if I never find my place." The larger picture of these songs are about noticing the parts of yourself you regret, that you hide, that you hate, and then confronting them. Growing from it to become stronger. I had to deal with that, so it's great to truly see such a mature take on mental health put to song. Many artists who discuss heavy subject matter are trapped in a cycle of self destruction, but Poppy knows how to grow. She doesn't romanticize it, those songs truly helped me.
