This part suggests that maybe they know that it's abuse and that they've been denying it the whole time. You need to try harder.Īnd I can't believe that you couldn't see it coming for me. You're not passively taking pain, you're making life harder for them. It's not them that's hurting you, it's yourself. Everything that they make you feel is true. And you tell them that you'd still be waiting for them hand and foot. The person has successfully convinced you that you're not impressive in any way and that they're doing you a favor by even giving you attention. These lines and the following ones solidify the idea of abuse to me. Maul the world like a carnival bear set free. You're stuck, with a fading smile, trying desperately to hold on to the feeling of being in the spotlight again, convincing yourself that anytime now they'll come back and fill that emptiness in your chest like they did before.Įmpty your sadness like you're dumping your purse on my bedroom floorĪnd it's our time now if you want it to be. They may even start to get irritated by your presence, and you're made to feel as though you need to work your way back up there, and that you need to stay on the front page to try and keep their love. You stop being the front page and become just another story in the newspaper. They stop highlighting these parts of you.
You're not new, but they still care for you, right? And slowly, little by little, they begin to lose interest. At the start of the relationship, this person treated you as above everyone else. The last two lines really hit me, and it was spoken in a way that I'd never heard before. That just wanna fill up the trophy case again. But now time has passed, and that's no longer where you are. You felt safety, and warmth, and protection. The final line ties it back to the personal experience of love. That they can't let themselves be caught in time, to cease or to end. It's to the kids who feel suicidal, and he's telling them that they need to continue onward. He's saying that the kids who are unsure of themselves but still continue to "move forward" in time are still special and he's telling them that they're going to be okay. Being left behind, overlooked, and put to the side. They're the ones who are made to feel as though they're insignificant. This part sounds like a sort of message or beacon to those who may be in the same situation or are struggling with problems of their own. I'd always fall from your window to the pitch-black streets.
#Biting the bullet kids are alright lyrics how to
Like you're trapped and you know you need to get away but you just don't know where to go or that you wouldn't know how to function if you did.įall to your knees, bring on the rapture.
The next three lines are about how difficult it can be to let go of it and how it becomes incredibly difficult to handle. This really makes sense to me either way, as a reference to both the instability and the pain one would feel when being in an abusive relationship. Wikipedia says: Jetwash refers simply to the rapidly moving gases expelled from a jet engine it is extremely turbulent, but of short duration. So I didn't exactly know what they meant by jet wash so I googled it and the first few things that came up were those really strong hoses that people use to clean their patios, and another word for wake turbulence. I kinda wanna go over the lyrics because even though I'm kinda new to FOB I'd say that this song had a huge effect on me when I first heard it and I feel like almost every line in it is absolutely heartbreaking.Īnd maybe I bit off more than I could chew Okay so I've discussed this with multiple people but it seems to me that nobody I've talked to shares my belief that the song is mainly about abusive or one-sided love and depression? Everybody I've met says it's a general message to everyone going through hardships, and I think it is that too, but it also has a stronger, more personal note attached to it.
