About this listen
In the song "What it cost me", artist Arthur Vale explores the heavy emotional toll of prioritising personal survival over the well-being of a partner. The lyrics serve as a raw confession of how the narrator used dishonesty and excuses to distance themselves from a relationship while the other person remained devastated. Vale highlights a disturbing contrast between the public praise he received for moving forward and the private guilt of abandoning someone in pain. By refusing to sugarcoat the situation as destiny, the songwriter acknowledges that his personal liberation came at the direct expense of another’s stability. Ultimately, the piece is a somber reflection on the permanent burden of living with the knowledge that one’s progress was built upon someone else's ruin.
