May be late to comment but me and my sister are coming to see you in Oklahoma City on the 14th!❤️ I always wanted to see you guys! See you guys soon on the 14th!:D
I really appreciate the music descriptions in the videos. I don't usually pick up on visualization in songs, so that makes these all the more enjoyable :)
… just realised exactly how much I liked this song, heard it at school and screamed so loud so suddenly that I got a detention that will now actually be on my criminal record because… private school teachers dislike me
[Verse 1] I’m not the person that I thought I was I couldn't tell you where the ache came from Maybe born in a storm beneath an angry sky Now it’s raining in my head nearly all the time Now it’s raining in my head and I don’t know why [Verse 2] All the love, all the kindness, all your best-laid plans Couldn't stop me from becoming the way that I am You toiled on a bridge to cross the gap inside But I couldn't help you build it and I don't know why No, I couldn't let you build it, but God knows you tried [Chorus] Was I born with a hole in my heart? A fatal fault at the start Tell me it’s inevitable that I’d end up with Scars [Verse 3] I’m not the person that I thought I was I’m trying to come to terms with what you’ve done In the fumes of your anguish, oh, my blistering pride I’m still burning like a tire fire deep down inside Oh, I’m burning like a tire fire and I don’t know why [Chorus] Was I born with a hole in my heart? A fatal fault at the start Tell me it’s inevitable that I’d End up with scars from falling Down, down We were always meant to fall apart [Bridge] Nothing could have been done Is that right? Nothing could have been done Nothing could have been done Is that right? [Chorus] ‘Cause I was born with a hole in my heart Yeah, we were fucked from the start Tell me it’s inevitable that I’d End up with scars from falling Down, down We were always meant to fall apart
I think I figured it out: The moon is a healthy relationship between the narrator and the sun is a toxic, this is the rebellion of the narrator Let me explain “Tell me once again I could have been anyone, anyone else Before you made the choice for me My feet knew the path We walked in the dark, in the dark I never gave a single thought to where it might lead” The first part talks about the fact that someone chose their life for them. The second part talks about the fact that if they left their life alone they already knew the path they had to take that was right. “All those empty rooms We could have been anywhere, anywhere else Instead, I made a bed with apathy” The rooms represent paths and outcomes they could have taken if the other person didn’t already chose their room/path. Instead, they stayed in the room they were chosen and laid on a bed of apathy or last of interest/enthusiasm. That explains a lot, with the stuff to come. “My heart knew the weight Ten years worth of dust and neglect We made our peace with weariness and let it be” This was pretty straightforward. They were neglected for ten years and when everything was “over” they settled with weariness of each other and moved on. So when the other person’s neglectful behavior relapsed they already knew, hence the line “My heart knew the weight” “The moon will sing a song for me I loved you like the sun. Bore the shadows that you made with no light of my own. I shine only with the light you gave me” It says “the moon will sing” and “I loved you like the sun” meaning that the moon was always nice to them but the other person is not the moon. “Bore the shadows that you made, with no light of my own”says that they were forced to do things by the other person that ended up, yes putting them on the spotlight but, causing whiplash by other people. They weren’t able to chose their own path so they weren’t able to be liked simply because everything they were known for, they didn’t want to do. “I shine only with the light you gave me” Says that they gaslit either themself or the other person gaslit them into thinking that they would be no where if that person never forced them to do it “Name your courage now We could have had anything, anything else Instead, you hoarded all that's left of me” Says that they could have had a loving relationship. They could have had a healthy relationship. But, instead, that other person “hoarded all that's left of them” “Swallowin' your doubt Like swords to the pit of my belly I want to feel the fire that you kept from me” Says that the other person is doubting their accusations that they controlled their life and gaslit them for too long. And as they say “I want to feel the fire that you kept from me” meaning that they want to experience the life and happiness that they could have if the other person didn’t dictate that In summary the sun was a toxic, manipulative, gaslighting jerk.. And the moon was nicer. The sun dictated the life of the narrator while the moon did not. Thank you for your time
This is sad, that's why it's important for families to not be emotionally dependent, they tend to close of a family member to the rest. You know parebts who say Only I will Love you, then abuse the kids by lowering self esteem, and hitting, then the kid believes their parents are right, and struggle with personal relations. Like it great to have guiding parents, but without the abuse. Sometimes these parents would abandon their kids somewhere too, this happens a lot here in the Philipines. That's why the song Lullaby by Rauf and Faik comforts me, it's shows a couple with a dead unborn kid, and the Male lover chooses to save an abandoned kid while her parents are arguing, then they played snowballs and read books.
"theres still cobwebs in the corners, and the backyards full of bones. wont you stay with me, my darling, when this house don't feel like home?" has my heart oml
The queer origins of the title: In ancient greece callisto worshipped artemis and thus lived as a huntress who took a vow of chastity. Zeus disguised himself as artemis and seduced callisto. Callisto became pregnant and gives birth to her son arcus. Afterwards artemis (or hera) punishes callisto by turning her into a bear. They eventually became the constellations ursa major and ursa minor. In other versions, arcus became the constellation bootes. The brightest star in bootes is called arcturus. Arcturus means protector of the bears. Arcturus beaming references the guy in mythology who sort of had two moms.
In “Never Love an Anchor,” the narrator ruminates on being unable to care for their child. i can´t see how people think this is a tragic llove song wtf??
All the words I couldn't say to you Fill up the spaces in my chest Like spare coins poised on the tip of my tongue I make a wish and hold my breath Send me anywhere, take me out I'm the well they're gonna drag you down Send me anywhere, take me out I'm the well they're gonna drag you down All the words I couldn't say to you Oh, the damage I'd have wrought That old house, those rotting memories Burned easier than I'd have thought Send me anywhere, take me out I'm the well they're gonna drag you down Send me anywhere, take me out I'm the well they're gonna drag you down Ah, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh Ah, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ah, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh Ah, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh All the words I couldn't say to you A ready army in my throat I taste blood, I'm sick of swallowing stones So I'll wave the flag, tell the boys to go home Send me anywhere, take me out I'm the well they're gonna drag you down Send me anywhere, take me out I'm the well they're gonna drag you down Ah, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh Ah, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ah, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh Ah, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Ah-ah, ah, ah-ah, ah) (Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah) (Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
If you guys read the comments, I bought the CD and noticed there's a typos in the lyric book, a lot of the F's square with an x when you cross out emojis. But it's an incredible album and CD!

Literally about to bawl. This is unbelievable for me. ITS SUCH A BANGER SONG TOO AAHHH
