This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I want to change your mind
Said I want to set it right this time
I'm looking through you
You know who you are
And planning for the apocalypse
Is not considered
Considered cool
I don't suggest it myself
But no I won't sweat
I want to change your ways
Said I'm gonna get it right one of these days
And I'm looking through you
Riding the brakes
Bringing about the apocalypse
Is not considered
Considered cool
Still you go setting it up
But never give it a thought
Just go setting it up
My mathematical mind can see the breaks
So I'm gonna stop riding the brakes
No no no no more ride the brakes
Instead I'm gonna see your stakes
Yeah I'm gonna see the stakes
Said I want to set it right this time
I'm looking through you
You know who you are
And planning for the apocalypse
Is not considered
Considered cool
I don't suggest it myself
But no I won't sweat
I want to change your ways
Said I'm gonna get it right one of these days
And I'm looking through you
Riding the brakes
Bringing about the apocalypse
Is not considered
Considered cool
Still you go setting it up
But never give it a thought
Just go setting it up
My mathematical mind can see the breaks
So I'm gonna stop riding the brakes
No no no no more ride the brakes
Instead I'm gonna see your stakes
Yeah I'm gonna see the stakes

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I can't believes no one's posted for this song, it's my favorite on "Gimme Fiction". The lyrics remind me of a malfunctioning machine
I think it's about being logical in a relationship, but nothing is logical. Trying to do something, to be logical or at least, conventional and failing.
no more riding the brakes
freaking awsome
How good is this album?
I agree with omivoreron - I think it's about being too logical in a relationship, but then realising that you take a risk by being too calculating ("I'm gonna see the stakes") and letting yourself be irrational and let it go.
I always thought that this was about a relationship, so I thought that "planning for the Apocalypse" and "bringing about the Apocalypse" referred to the end of the relationship.
honestly i always thought he was saying "and you go setting it off / but never giving a thought / to those setting it up"
which i think is much more meaningful.
but whatever good song
don't overthink. often your first thought is correct.
It always sounded like "I'm gonna see mistakes" to me, but I guess I'm wrong. Either way... yeah.
I can see the logical relatonship thing, but then I also feel like it's someone who wants to change everybody's mind. It's a person who believes they are right, they can always see your problems, like I said, they're "gonna see mistakes", and they "wanna' change your mind". But then, they go backfire on themselves. Being so critical, they prepare for everything, apocalypses. It's a bad habit, they believe, and they wouldn't suggest for other people to be like them, but like smoking, they can't just stop.
