The song "Molly" by Jordy Searcy is about the lingering memories and emotional baggage from a past relationship that continue to affect the narrator's current connection with someone new. The narrator is haunted by thoughts of his ex-girlfriend, Molly, and even when he is with someone else, he sees her in everything they do and cannot shake the past. The narrator is torn between his feelings for his new partner and his lingering attachment to Molly, who he claims will always be his true north. He acknowledges that Molly was not good for him and caused him pain, but he cannot help but compare his current partner to her and worry that they too will hurt him someday. The lyrics also touch on the struggles of fully trusting and committing to someone new when you have been hurt in the past. The fear of history repeating itself prevents the narrator from fully allowing himself to love and be loved. Overall, "Molly" tells the story of a person caught between their past and present, trying to let go of the memories that haunt them while also fearing that they will never truly be able to move on.
