This song is for Remus. The love and the angst and the toxicity is all there.
"And I can picture it after all these days. And I know its long gone and that magics not here no more" Remus at James and lily's graves reminiscing about the past and their childhood and his and Sirius' great love. Its a heartbreaking image bit it definitely happened. I was there. I was the ground
"And I might be ok, but i'm not fine at all" Remus breaking down for the first time in front of Grant after hearing that Mary obliviated herself. Grant didn't know what to do so he just held Remus until he cried himself out. After that Remus was dead to the world for months
"You used to be a little kid with glasses on a twin sized bed" Remus going through an old photo album and coming across a picture of him and James from the first year play a game of exploding snap, Remus was winning
"You told me about your past thinking your future was me" Remus when he finds out that Sirius was innocent but it was too late. It was heartbreaking.
"Fuck the patriarchy" what Remus told to Sirius when he wanted to start wearing eyeliner and skirts. Remus loved Sirius for who he was, no matter what.
"They were dead and gone buried" Literally everyone In Remus' life before he was 35
"I know its long gone and there was nothing else i could do" Remus holding harry back, tears running down his face as he watched Sirius, his best friend and soul mate fall through the veil and never return
"We're dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light" Remus pulling Sirius in after a fight and dancing with him to cheer him up knowing that Sirius would love to show off his classical dance training
"You kept me like a secret but i kept you like an oath" Remus screaming at Sirius when they were 16 after Sirius once again pretended that them sleeping together meant nothing, despite Sirius getting jealous of Remus talking to anyone really easily
"Maybe this thing was a masterpiece til you tore it all up" Remus crying from rage after the prank
"I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here because i remember it all all all" Remus crumbling to the ground after finding out what happened to the Potters, what he thought Sirius had done. Him not being able to breathe for years after. Him rotting in his house for months
"Not weeping in the party bathroom" Remus after the first time he kissed Sirius and Sirius pretended that it didn't happen
"You! That's what happened, you!" Remus screaming at Greyback when he was undercover for the order, wising with his whole heart that he could be back home wit Sirius, safe and far away from the man that ruined his life
"Its supposed to be fun, turning 21" Remus drinking for all of his fallen friends on his 21st birthday and trying to ignore his longing for Sirius
"Time won't fly its like i'm paralysed by it" Remus, alone, not knowing what to do or how to live after losing everything. The only way that he knew that time was passing was his transformation every month which paralysed him with pain
"Trying to be my old self again but i'm still trying to find it" what Remus said to Grant after breaking up with him. He loved Grant but he needed time to figure out how to be on his own and support himself by himself.
"It reminds you of innocence" Remus looking through a photo album of the summer of 1978 and seeing his family happy with one another, not broken by the war
"I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight" What madam Pomphrey would say to Remus to try and cheer him up after every full moon during his time at Hogwarts, including when he was a teacher there
"I still remember the first fall of snow and how it glistened as it fell, i remember it all too well" Remus talking Sirius about that first Christmas without him. How everything seemed peaceful and perfect but inside he just wanted to die and join his family in the afterlife
"It was rare, i remember it" Remus telling harry about the love he had for James and lily and what they got up too and how lucky he was to find two such amazing people who loved him unconditionally
Remus Lupin IS all too well.
