Kill You Off
“Kill You Off is in regards to the lack of innocence and the anger that comes with feeling betrayed as a toddler. It displays how emotions out of your youth can carry over into maturity the place, now, travelling “3000 miles” to homicide the particular person guilty is the one possibility. On the best way, 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
“Pearl goes by way of the frustrations of somebody so clearly copying all the things you do whereas on the identical time displaying assist as a result of they admire your work. It’s a blunt observe, expressing how laughable the charade is, finally stating how somebody can attempt all they need the best way I can see by way of their actions makes all of it really feel like a joke.”
FYP
“This observe flips between moments of self-doubt and confidence. It’s a mixture of delight, introspection, and self-acceptance, tracing the journey that’s formed my profession up thus far. It turns jealousy into empowerment, realising you might be ok to be on this business!”
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 mentions issues like “chugging Nyquil” to painting how low self-worth can get. It’s the pure battle of obsession, devotion, begging for connection, and being in fixed concern of shedding somebody attributable to one flawed transfer.”
Fingernails
“Fingernails opens up in regards to the concern and vulnerability that comes with loving somebody a lot. I needed the imagery all through this tune to indicate how painful it isn’t understanding how the opposite particular person feels. It’s about wanting to provide an individual all the things, even when it means sacrificing components of your self, but additionally worrying it received’t be sufficient. There’s a push and pull of devotion, insecurity, and longing – aching to be seen, however being uncertain what meaning.”
LimeWire

It’s about how the nervousness of opening up can find yourself leaving us saying nothing in any respect. The tune captures the concern of rising aside, the nostalgia for easier 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 completed extra.”

It’s in regards to the battle to like ourselves whereas additionally desirous to root for others, particularly as we become old and societal pressures mount.”
Jennifer’s Physique

I’ve this challenge the place it doesn’t matter how a lot love somebody is giving me, I’ll see somebody stunning and suppose “that’s who they need to be with”. There’s an final feeling of loss understanding you possibly can’t compete in opposition to somebody who is ideal, even whereas your vital different is telling you the other.”
In My Room
“In My Room is in regards to the ache of lacking somebody who’s already moved on. I needed 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 depart and your battle. All of the sudden you’re stalking your self on the web making an attempt to interpret how they may view you, and what you possibly can change about your self to maintain them round.”
Sunshine State

Set within the rural areas of Florida, the imagery of this tune conveys how unattainable it might probably generally really feel to chase your desires in a city the place most individuals by no means depart. 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 prefer to make that selection.”
You’ve Misplaced a Lot of Blood
“This tune is about betrayal and the refusal to forgive. I’m speaking about childhood recollections and the lack to defend your self if you’re younger, with traces like “tiny sword, tiny arms, tiny, mattress” and “prayed for dying” 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 load of harm into their grownup years.”
