ALSO. The anathema double meaning is so cool. Seriously. Look at this. a·nath·e·ma əˈnaTHəmə/Submit noun 1. something or someone that one vehemently dislikes. 2. a formal curse by a pope or a council of the Church, excommunicating a person or denouncing a doctrine. LIKE. HOW WILD. WHAT A GOOD TITLE??? |

I'm pretty sure I'm wrong because like, Twenty One Pilots isn't a very face-value kind of band in my opinion, but I just thought I'd share. I always took this as a love song? Like, when you're scared. You're scared of good things because you're scared of ruining them, so you're sort of reframing it into this bad thing (the whole chorus, obviously) because you're scared. But at the same time, you're too selfish to let it go, too, and you're too scared to let it go, so you're just kinda waiting for the other person (the "won't you say goodnight so I can say goodbye?" line) to make that move, to end it, because you're selfish. You are. You don't want to be the one to ruin what could be a good thing, even if you're also the one scared to move forward. Also, this part specifically: I'm caught under water and I'm falling farther, My heart's getting harder, I'm calling my father, It came across as romantic to me, too, because I was looking at it through a specific viewpoint, you know? And look, it's almost definitely about mental illness, but I think it's just really interesting. Mental illness has been so, so romanticized, and I think the fact that I thought this was a love song really speaks to that. Honestly, I'm still probably gonna view it as a love song, just 'cause that really fucks me up and it's fun (and it reminds me of Lena/Julian from Delirium, if anyone cares) and. I don't have another point. Just thought I'd share? Sorry if I didn't use the right type, I literally just made an account like two minutes ago to comment on this and That's Okay by the Hush Sound. |

I don't know like, how on the mark I am or whatever, but this song was always kinda... hopeful to me? You know? It's slow and sad, but it's like, cathartic. When things are changing and you'll be okay, but you just need a second to cope, and you're taking that second, and this is the song to listen to while you do. A few examples: You want to go back to where you felt safe. You'll never find your way back. When you're gone, will they love you the same? If not, that's okay. I'll keep you safe but like them, I'll give you away. It just felt like a very honest way of dealing with these things. You can't go back, they might not love you forever, you won't be with someone forever, but it's okay. Things change and people change and it's okay. You don't need to go back, you don't need them to love you, and you don't need to be with them. I never associated it with anything bad? It made me feel kinda safe. I always thought it was reassuring. |
