While over the course of his last albums, on songs such as “Headlights” and “Bad Husband”, Em started to apologize to family members for his behavior and for making private matters known to the world through his music, some family members are still feeling his wrath.
For instance on “Arose” off of "Revival", where Em makes it clear that he has not forgiven his father for abandoning him and his mother when he was a newborn.
"Oh, almost forgot to do something, thank my father too
I actually learned a lot from you
You taught me what not to do."
On this track, it is his stepdad that is under attack. In the song, Em reveals domestic violence against both Em and his mother. Previously, on “Insane” off of Relapse, Em accused his stepfather of sexually abusing him as a child, he has however later stated that most of the song is fiction.
