Rent
It just ocurred to me, completely out of the blue and in a silent office, that the title of the musical Rent has a double meaning: the fee to occupy a space, yes, but also “torn apart”, a commentary on the anguish and unsettledness of the characters. It’s been years since I’ve seen this play and a long time since I’ve heard anything from it, so I have no idea why this popped into my head. I went to Google and searched for the text, and found that this is obvious, I had just completely missed it:
How do you leave the past behind
When it keeps finding ways to get to your heart
It reaches way down deep and tears you inside out
Till you’re torn apart
