Changed line(s) 45,46 (click to see context) from:
* "Getting Better" is mostly an upbeat, catchy song about a man talking about how he used to have a lot of frustration in his life [[CharacterDevelopment but is becoming a better an dhappier person]]. It isn't a scary song in the slightest... until ''these'' lyrics, "[[MoodWhiplash I used to be cruel to my woman]]. [[DomesticAbuse I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved]]. [[{{Understatement}} Man, I was mean]], but I'm changing my scene, and I'm doing the best that I can." which can be quite jarring to first-time listeners, especially since the narrator's outright admitted DomesticAbuse is presumably EasilyForgiven, and how it is [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment never mentioned again in the entire song]]. Most of this is due to ValuesDissonance, since abuse is treated much more seriously today as it was back then. That being said, it's certainly a step up from "Run For Your Life", as this song's narrator at least [[TheAtoner acknowledges that his behavior is bad and is changing]].
