What and What Not Lyrics
night time fades into day,
and a big mistake you didn't know you made,
see if you can take it back,
you thought that this was what it seemed
fate doesn't care about plans,
you never knew that life was a rubber band,
the harder that you pull,
the more it snaps back,
the more it hurts.
sweetness, did you believe in this?
they got you good,
they got you.
no matter what transpires,
your will can take you higher now,
so don't take out frustration on your body,
that junk will make you sorry,
i'm taking my last stand,
and to think they almost got me too.
don't confuse bath for rebirth,
mess around feeling like love is a curse,
but you gotta' make a change before you lose control,
i'm not saying i know what and what not to do,
we're all torn up from inside out,
and i've had mistakes in my bed once or twice,
but i put it in my closet 'til i finally came to
and i realized that i always knew what i had to do.
sweetness, did you believe in this?
they got you good,
they got you.
no matter what transpires,
your will can take you higher now,
so don't take out frustration on your body,
that junk will make you sorry,
i'm taking my last stand,
and to think they almost got me too.
time is upon us,
be who you want to be,
keep moving forward,
don't live in the corner,
be who you want to be,
judges will judge in the classrooms and the court if we keep giving them their say,
i'll be who i want to be,
so think what you want of me.
sweetness, did you believe in this?
they got you good,

anyways, this is definitley my favorite song on the new record. obviously it's about being yourself and not letting peer pressure affect your actions.

I don't think its about Eternal, but he uses the nickname Sweetness which he only uses in Montauk. I feel like maybe there's a connection but I'm probably just hoping.
Montauk is about Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind, so either they're making a direct connection, or just like the nickname 'Sweetness' very much.
don't confuse bath for rebirth? what's that mean? ahhaa.
'don't confuse bath for rebirth"
'don't confuse bath for rebirth"
I think it's kinda critizicing baptism, and saying that it doesn't really make you a new person like some religions teach...

Without feeling like going through analyzing line by line this song is about overcoming heroin addiction. The chorus pretty much speaks for itself and multiple other lines can support this interpretation.
