Paul Quise Jayo
From an AP Interview with Tyler Dennen:This song acts as a montage for the entire record, lyrically. It talks about how historically when I didn’t understand something (especially about myself), I would give up and just ignore it. It goes into the pain that’s associated with practicing that mindset and the last section of the song brings to light part of the reason why the split between my light and dark existed in the first place. “Do you know what it’s like? To have the worst in you glorified? By fucks who only care when you’re sad or if you cried. Positive reinforcement for feeling suicidal? For wishing I was dead? Why didn’t you ask if I was okay instead.”
