is "the one in which you allow yourself to wallow in the pain because you deserve at least that much". Méndez noted the song's "tinny layers of sound" and Palomo's "breathy, almost frustrated vocals". The electro-shoegaze song "Hex Girlfriend" addresses an ex-girlfriend, and includes video game synth timbres similar to those on Psychic Chasms opener "(AM)". Both "The Blindside Kiss" and "Hex Girlfriend" are filled with "buzzsaw"-toned guitars, which BBC Music's John Aizlewood compared to the Jesus and Mary Chain. The Depeche Mode-style "cavernous Anglophile disco" song "Fallout" is about trying to forget a failed relationship, with Palomo asking the subject to "please let me fall out of love with you". Palomo sounds unreachable on this song, like "a lonely planet boy sending out distress signals from the saddest corner of the solar system", said Rolling Stone critic Jon Dolan. Wisnicki said there is "a haunting vagueness" to the slow pace, with the song's "subtle synth-disguised-as-choir tactics used to help the song break unexpectedly from slow Joy Division-esque pummel to a bridge that reaches into bliss...if only for a few seconds". DIYs Dani Beck and Derek Robertson said that the track sounds like music for the opening credits of a late-night Arnold Schwarzenegger B-movie, while Phares stated it could have been recorded by Love and Rockets or Billy Idol back in the 1980s. Both "Fallout" and "Halogen" contain dramatic keyboard riffs inspired by the music of Duran Duran. The title track represents a first post-breakup sign of hope. Dramatic, clattering drums are present on the track, and musicOMH reviewer Ben Hogwood compared its heavy, firm beat to Ultravox's "Vienna" (1981). Aizlewood noted that the song resembles "Out of Touch" (1984) by Hall & Oates. The three following songs, "Halogen (I Could Be a Shadow)", "Future Sick", and "Suns Irrupt", follow three different types of forgetting a breakup. Reminiscent of music released in the New Romanticism period, "Halogen (I Could Be a Shadow)" was described by Méndez as "a spectacularly enveloping piece," with its somber instrumentation of "steady, comforting percussion, delicate, inviting synths, and vintage girl group-evoking background vocals" resulting in "a gorgeous vessel for ecstatic release". Fitzmaurice described "Halogen (I Could Be a Shadow)" as the "near-double" of "Kim and Jessie" by M83, whereas Aizlewood compared the song to the works of the Thompson Twins, while Phares said it sounds like music that would "play over the credits of a
