-55. Cold dismissal, instantly.

A second-person address to a former partner that corrects his version of the affair: the narrator was self-sufficient before him, he registered as one entry on a running list, he was using her to patch his own problems, and the recurring hook assigns the whole of the dependency to him.

An ethnic epithet appears in the verse as the category the narrator assigns the ex; it is referred to abstractly here and never reproduced. Its stance is deployed-by-the-narrator, not voiced-from-the-victim position (see R5(d) below).

negative_payload. The dominant arc IS the harmful content, and it is hook-carried: both verses are near-identical and the refrain is the dominance claim itself. No route to height was live. internal_work was tested and refused: there is one concession that the affair had its pleasures, and no posture changes anywhere across the text. witness_critique was tested and refused: the narrator is not naming harm from outside it but enacting the diminishment in the first person, which is R5(a), endorsement at full weight. TWO-AXIS READ.

- Corrupted 4 (contempt for a specific target, naming, mocking, asserting dominance) fires at full weight and is the song's engine. The address is sustained second person, the ex's romantic hope is mocked outright, and the narrator brands herself with a predator label as the answer to his complaint. - Corrupted 1 / Degraded 8 (objectification, dehumanization) fires: the ex is enumerated as one interchangeable item on a running tally, and the narrator refers to herself through a degrading epithet used as a type. - Degraded 5 (ego-centering) fires: the opening and closing claims are that the narrator required nothing and the other party required everything. - Degraded 6 (self-destruction framed as identity) fires weakly on the savage self-branding, which is offered as a credential rather than a problem. - Corrupted 2 (substance celebration) was tested and does NOT fire at weight: the rolling-up passage is a single casual aside, never made aspirational and never returned to. - R13 applied: strip the profanity from the dismissal of the ex's rescue fantasy and a cruelty survives intact, so it grades as targeted contempt rather than neutral register. - R4 tested and NOT applicable: there is no grief, no loss, and no clinging. The narrator holds the power in the exchange and is using it, which is the opposite of the clinging-after-loss case. Pervasiveness: the contempt is carried by the hook and repeated verbatim across both verses; removal would leave nothing standing. PERVASIVE. Harm: -69. Pervasiveness: pervasive.

Scanned for any blue or violet activation. The single candidate is the concession that the time together had its pleasures, which is an aside inside the dismissal rather than accountability, and nothing in the text examines the narrator's own conduct. No collective scope, no address beyond the one ex. Transcendence: 0.

Placed against -65 and -78. Stronger than the -65 archetype: this is not general others-directed ego-service but a sustained second-person diminishment in which the target is enumerated as disposable and his hope is mocked to his face. Weaker than -78: there is no violence imagery, no threat, and no escalating dominance display; the ex is discarded rather than attacked, and the register stays cold instead of hot. Sits between the two, closer to -65, and just under it because of the second-person sustain. Precedents: -65, -78 Center: -69

- Saturation: +1. Contempt tenets fire in nearly every line, including the hook. - Resolution: 0. Closes on the hook restated, claim fully landed. - Register: -1. Familiar dismissal vocabulary, nothing redefined. - Reach: -1. One addressee, no wider audience.

The harm axis governs and the payload is pervasive, so the song calibrates at the payload's level and is NOT contaminated (only violet, blue, and green reads can be). R5(d) run on the epithet: it is aimed BY the narrator at the target as her classification of him, not suffered and voiced from the attacked position, so it would contaminate a higher-tier read; here it simply forms part of the governing payload. Contamination: none

Degraded territory, between -65 and -78 and closer to -65, because the dominant arc is a sustained second-person diminishment of a former partner delivered for the narrator's own standing, without the violence or escalation that marks the deeper entry.
