lee begging, BEGGING maren to eat him because he wouldn’t want to die any other way and maren refusing at first because how could she? how could she devour her lover? maren, eventually caving, because lee BEGS her and he wants her to and she needs to because even more, how could she deny the wishes of a lover dying? a lover, who in his death keeps her alive.

i think that presenting cannibalism as a metaphor for intimacy was perhaps one of the greatest things we ever did as a society. Like you’re telling me you want to eat me, make me a part of you, consume me? that’s so romantic, tell me more, i love you
Don't forget me, please. Don't let your heart forget how mine tasted

Ethel Cain’s “Strangers” is not about cannibalism being a metaphor for love.
There is nothing loving about the deep insecurity of a girl who fears that she still isn’t good enough for the man she loved despite him abusing, murdering, and cannibalising her.
The song mentions her mother crying for her lost baby girl, how Ethel hopes she knows that her mother knows she loved her and that they can one day be together in heaven.
It tells the story of a girl who was once again deceived by a lover whom she blindly trusted, and the fate it led her to and how she still sees herself and ‘love’ as her downfall.
