There’s just this feeling sometimes that you’re not good enough. You have to be perfect. How can you get love? How will you be acceptable? What is the right way to be? Underneath a heartbreak record, there’s a bigger heartbreak which is that you didn’t love yourself and the ways that you hurt yourself because of that lack of self love. Songs are really protective. I always feel like if I put something in a song, it’s safe. It can live in this song.

— Florence Welch on Hunger
