“Kill You Off is concerning 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 individual in charge 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, finally stating how somebody can attempt all they need the way in which 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 satisfaction, introspection, and self-acceptance, tracing the journey that’s formed my profession up up to now. It turns jealousy into empowerment, realising you’re ok to be on this business!”
Loser
“Loser feels just like the agonising sequel to In My Room. It’s most likely some of the trustworthy songs I’ve ever written. It’s about how darkish somebody’s mind can go once they love somebody, particularly once they really feel they will’t measure as much as them. It mentions issues like “chugging Nyquil” to painting how low self-worth can get. It’s the pure wrestle of obsession, devotion, begging for connection, and being in fixed concern of shedding somebody as a consequence of one flawed transfer.”
Fingernails
“Fingernails opens up concerning the concern and vulnerability that comes with loving somebody a lot. I needed the imagery all through this track to point out how painful it isn’t realizing how the opposite individual feels. It’s about wanting to provide an individual all the things, 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 not sure what which means.”
LimeWire

It’s about how the anxiousness of opening up can find yourself leaving us saying nothing in any respect. The track captures the concern of rising aside, the nostalgia for less complicated instances, and the quiet panic of realising how essential it’s to say what you’re feeling earlier than it’s too late. Threat is healthier than the remorse of wishing you’d achieved extra.”

It’s concerning the wrestle to like ourselves whereas additionally desirous to root for others, particularly as we become older and societal pressures mount.”
Jennifer’s Physique

I’ve this concern 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 realizing you’ll be able to’t compete towards somebody who is ideal, even whereas your vital different is telling you the alternative.”
In My Room
“In My Room is concerning the ache of lacking somebody who’s already moved on. I needed to seize the obsessive pull of reminiscences, the desperation of wanting to carry onto items of somebody, and the painful distinction between their ease to go away and your wrestle. All of a sudden you’re stalking your self on the web making an attempt to interpret how they may view you, and what you’ll be able to change about your self to maintain them round.”
Sunshine State

Set within the rural areas of Florida, the imagery of this track conveys how not possible it will probably typically 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 individual 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

I’m speaking about childhood reminiscences and the lack to defend your self while you’re younger, with strains like “tiny sword, tiny fingers, tiny, mattress” and “prayed for loss of life” 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, perpetually carrying the load of damage into their grownup years.”
