Privilege

About Privilege

“Privilege” is the outro track of My Dear Melancholy, where Abel seemingly addresses his public past relationship with Selena Gomez. The chorus references the ultimatum that Morpheus gives Neo in The Matrix, where the “red pill” is facing reality and the “blue pill” is living in blissful ignorance. Abel flips this into a line about re-embracing his well-documented past with pills in addition to drinking alcohol to cope with the end of his relationship. .
