“Kill You Off is in regards to the lack of innocence and the anger that comes with feeling betrayed as a baby. It displays how emotions out of your youth can carry over into maturity the place, now, travelling “3000 miles” to homicide the particular person accountable is the one choice. On the way in which, it questions religion, passing billboards that remind us how Jesus ‘heals, he saves,’ but additionally leaves us questioning why that salvation couldn’t attain us as again then, and even now.”
Pearl

It’s a blunt observe, expressing how laughable the charade is, in the end stating how somebody can attempt all they need the way in which I can see by their actions makes all of it really feel like a joke.”
FYP

Loser

It’s about how darkish somebody’s mind can go after they love somebody, particularly after they really feel they’ll’t measure as much as them.

It’s the pure battle of obsession, devotion, begging for connection, and being in fixed worry of dropping somebody because of one mistaken transfer.”
Fingernails

It’s about wanting to provide an individual every thing, even when it means sacrificing elements of your self, but additionally worrying it gained’t be sufficient. There’s a push and pull of devotion, insecurity, and longing – aching to be seen, however being uncertain what which means.”
LimeWire

It’s about how the nervousness of opening up can find yourself leaving us saying nothing in any respect. The music captures the fear of rising aside, the nostalgia for less complicated occasions, and the quiet panic of realising how essential it’s to say what you are feeling earlier than it’s too late. Danger is best than the remorse of wishing you’d accomplished extra.”

I’ve this problem the place it doesn’t matter how a lot love somebody is giving me, I’ll see somebody lovely and assume “that’s who they need to be with”. There may be an final feeling of loss understanding you may’t compete towards somebody who is ideal, even whereas your important different is telling you the alternative.”
In My Room
“In My Room is in regards to the ache of lacking somebody who’s already moved on. I wished to seize the obsessive pull of recollections, the desperation of wanting to carry onto items of somebody, and the painful distinction between their ease to go away and your battle. Immediately you’re stalking your self on the web making an attempt to interpret how they could view you, and what you may change about your self to maintain them round.”

Set within the rural areas of Florida, the imagery of this music conveys how unimaginable it may well generally really feel to chase your desires in a city the place most individuals by no means go away. The lyrics maintain a lot love, admiration, and understanding for this particular person having to decide on between leaving their household and seeing what the world has to supply. It’s about feeling destined for one another lengthy earlier than we met as a result of we each know what it feels wish to make that alternative.”
You’ve Misplaced a Lot of Blood

I’m speaking about childhood recollections and the shortcoming to defend your self if you’re younger, with strains like “tiny sword, tiny fingers, tiny, mattress” and “prayed for demise” with a stuffed animal in your lap. I’m making an attempt to color an image of somebody who has been formed by their wounds from youth and might’t let go, without end carrying the burden of harm into their grownup years.”
