✨ Reflection on Past Relationships
The song "Exes" by Tate McRae is a candid reflection on past relationships and the complicated emotions that come with them. It's about being ironical about one's own patterns in love life, acknowledging personal flaws, and embracing self-awareness.
✨ Acknowledging Personal Flaws in Love Life
In "Exes", Tate explores how she has handled her previous relationships - often changing her mind or acting unpredictably (like an 'origami' folding and unfolding itself), which left her ex-lovers confused and hurt. She sings about the cycle of reconciling and then breaking up, indicating a pattern of instability in these relationships. Even though they part ways swearing not to contact each other again, she keeps some mementos from these relationships (the numbers, necklaces) symbolizing lingering attachments.
Tate admits that while she does care for these people deep down inside, it isn't always enough to keep the relationship going because of her unpredictable behaviors.
She also jokingly refers to herself as a locked case someone can't open implying she acknowledges some degree of responsibility for maybe not opening up fully or making things more complex than needed at times.
However even amid this complexity ,she re-emphasizes kissing goodbye without holding onto bitterness - hence the recurrent line,"Kisses to my exes."
Therefore through these lyrics,Tate offers transparency into both her emotional confusion at times & yet owning up any chaos caused due to such choices thereby appreciating those who have been still willing to go about this wild ride with her!

- Acceptance: We all make mistakes in our lives especially when young or inexperienced but what matters most is realizing them.Tate embraced this spirit masterfully.
- Self-Awareness: Recognize your patterns both good & bad in romantic liaisons.This will enhance you ability towards nurtuing healthier bonds.
- Capient Captiveem : Hold Onto Experiences Not People! Just like Tate,we often tend to hold on remnants from past (be it emotional or materialistic) . However we need differentiate between healthy keepsakes and unhealthy attachments.That's why take lessons but let people free!
- Respecting every Relationship no matter how flawed : It is okay have a series of trial-error relationships in quest of figuring out right one.Ensure though not willing harbor toxicity but rather bid adieu when time comes with grace & warmth (like the kisses mentioned by Tate).
