General CommentThe chorus is wrongWhen you see yourself in a crowded room,do your finger itch? General CommentI can't believe nobody's gotten it yet. And, hello guys, a song can have multiple meanins at once. So yes, it's about the music industry, I see that.
It's ALSO definitely about an anxiety attack. But put the pieces together, and you get a song that's about a guy's anxiety towards being an individual. This song is about how everyone's becoming the same, not just the music industry, but society in general. The 'speaker' in this song is panicking because he feels like he needs to conform, but really doesn't want to. He values his individuality and is freaking out about how to keep it.AND THE CHORUS IS WRONG.AH.' Do you see yourself in a crowded room?Do your fingers itch? Are you pistol-whipped?Do you step in line, or release the glitch?Can you fall asleep with a panic switch?'

My InterpretationI think this song is about being led on sexually by an ex with whom you're still in love. It's like the ex just came back for sex, but you're hoping that they actually want you again.
With the anxiety of that situation, you're unable to connect to other people and you wonder if everybody around you can tell that you're losing it.' Time is never worth my timeBlue shine bleeds into my eyes'I feel like this part means that it has happened before, and that it's acknowledged that it hasn't worked out well before.' I still sleep on the right sideBut white noise can't leave the scene behind'You still sleep in the bed where you both used to sleep, and there's a 'white noise' presence of emptiness left in the ex's place.'
Could I be anything you want me to beIf so is it meant to be seen?' Questioning whether or not you're willing to do anything the ex wants in order to get them to come back emotionally.'
I'll try to hold on tight tonightPink slip inviting me inside'Trying to savor the emotionless moments with the ex because you're realizing it's purely sexual.' Want to burn skin and brand what once was mineBut the red views keep ripping the divide'Wanting to make 100% certain that the ex will stick around.' If I go everywhere you want me to goHow will I know you'll still follow'Questioning yourself about whether or not it's worth your time to play along with the ex.
My InterpretationI think its about someone fighting with themself. His alter ego is taking over and he is holding on but its overwhelming. And if u must know why it is so hard for me to let go. Despite everything and what everyone is doing. Is because i refuse to believe that you did any of those things.i never meant any of those words.i was just so upset, 'cause i did not know what was going on. But i know that you were trying to escape me.and that's ok, 'cause i know that i am terrible and treated like crap.but i know it was not a constant thing., ok?but keeping those things outside was fucked up of me.saying wasting, was fucked up.
I know this.and i am so sorry.i just hope one day you can forgive me.you did not deserve any of this.you deserve someone better.and i wish all the love and happiness.i am sorry.4 everything.and i hope you understand me, which i thought you did, on how i say things i don't mean when i'm angry. My InterpretationThe song provides a glimpse into the fragile emotional state of someone soon after their world has been flipped upside down by a major betrayal or other traumatic events. It about dealing with the unknowns, uncertainty, and doubt that follow when things you thought you knew reveal themselves to not be true.The individual knows that to heal they need to put aside time to work through what has happened, but doing so may require them to revisit painful events and discover other things they don't want to know. So instead, the individual tries to go on living their life and stay busy with work and other activities. But the fear & hurt from the unresolved issues are always right below the surface, leaving them in a perpetual state of anxiety and panic.The individual may have been in a very intense, but probably unhealthy, relationship with someone whome they cared for alot. Over time the relationship likely experienced increasing amounts of betrayal of trust such as infidelity and perhaps abuse.
While the individual was the recipient of these betrayals early on, he was submissive and may have made excuses which justified the the actions of his partner. But as the relationship escalated his emotions eventually got the best of him and he himself ended fighting back and contributing to the toxicty of the relationship in ways he never thought were possible.Now that the relationship is over, he can't ignore the fact that the relationship has changed him. His ideas of what is 'normal' and what is 'right or wrong' have shifted, but not in the way he'd like. He wonders if he can still be the person he always wanted to be? Or is he now as damaged as his previous partner? Will he be able to control this newly discovered side of himself which seems to be triggered so easily now, or is he destined to repeat the cycle of toxity in his future relationships. Is he putting anyone close to him at risk?
