Cringe musically or lyrically?

lyrically. It's something I would have written in the margins on a notebook in 9th grade math class

Idk my thing with angsty lyrics is you gotta give me a good reason as to why you are full of rage, and this album makes a sound argument. This album is genuinely fucked up instead of looking fucked up for appearances.

The themes are more the highlight than the line by line lyrics.

Hmm that doesn't make things clearer. What is it that's cringe? Is it bringing back bad memories.

And honestly the lyrics work within the context of songs. People confuse lyricism with standard poetry with no musical accompaniment

you're preaching to the choir, I used to love this shit but now I find some of it just very self-defeating. A mentality of "I'm terrible, so let's just be terrible". It doesn't resonate anymore like it used to

I find it cathartic in a “you know, things could be worse!” sorta way

Revisited this recently and I still love it but I'd bump it down to 4 or 4.5 but I'm too lazy. It's a legacy 5.0

I'll read over the lyrics now. I've been lead to believe that it was open to interpretation and hurt could be the protagonist reflecting after their failed attempt. When do you think the moment of suicide happens?

Always thought it was about the path of drug induced slow self destruction, self harm and the personal hurt and wider hurt caused.



Not just ‘I’m going to end it all’ shin dig.
