[Verse 1: Jake Ewald & Cameron Boucher]
"It's not just what you say
Or how you've come so far
The words that you repeat
When time tears us apart
When you have something to hide
Or at least that's what I think
Maybe I'm out of touch
You can tell me if I'm wrong
But you know I'm right"
[Verse 2: Brendan Lukens]
Spit fire, spit blood, spit fast—I'm heated
I'm sure this won't linger... Longer than it has to...
Get out my way, steadfast, I'm fiending
A certain kind of way, tonight
[Outro: Brendan Lukens]
he’s pushing people away mid episode, thinking he doesn’t need anything except for the coping mechanisms he’s fiending over
A symptom of Bipolar Disorder is internalizing feelings, which is what this line is referring to.
Brendan has no interest in discussing his issues, or even acknowledging that he is dealing with anything at all. His band members, friends, and family want to know what’s wrong with him, why he’s doing what he’s doing, and why he isn’t the same person he was once.
Bipolar disorder distorts Brendon’s interpretation of reality, but he knows for sure that a deep conversation with friends and family was real.
Brendan’s feelings and personality switch nightly due to his bipolar disorder.
these lyrics to me sound like brennan is spiraling, and he knows he is and knowing this episode “won’t linger longer than it has to"
