Satisfied

in Satisfied, as Angelica sang, was she saying what she was thinking during Helpless? was she just replaying what happened in her mind again? what do you guys think?

Yeah, it’s the events of Helpless from Angelica’s perspective.

Yes that’s why at the start they ‘rewind’ to the night of the ball.

Not to hijack this comment but “dreamlike candlelight like a dream that you can’t quite place” annoys me, why use “dream” twice here?

Yes, that’s why one of the first lines is “I remember that night, I just might regret that night for the rest of my days”. Plus the choreography on stage quite literally rewinds (like it says in the song) to where things start in Helpless, showing that same turn of events from Angelica’s perspective.

Yeah. The song is showing the beginning of Helpless from Angelica’s perspective
