Got Well Soon

I've never played Life is Strange but if this game is on the soundtrack I can safely assume the song came before the game and so the game doesn't really inform my reading of the song. The lyrics, tone of the music and the album it came from do. "Other People's Problems" is about exploring the complexity of modern life, mental health, and socio-political issues. This is made explicit by the repeated reference to ancronyms, which are clearly references to psychiatric disorders. The interpretations here are clearly caught up on the drug use implications of 'whatever you use', but people with disorders use all kinds of maladaptive behaviours to cope. This song is dressing someone down for not being "on earth", ignoring their problems and indulging in their rehearsed egocentrism. They talk about rejecting someone from an 'in group', making nautical references to throwing them overboard. This is a community or group who is sick of someone making their mental problems everyone elses'.

I think this song is about those that find fame, or as this fits into the story of life is strange, the pretentious teens who assume the authority of status through the social club vortex, as this song plays during the party scene at the school pool. The bridge tells all, how some people make us climb the walls with their aura, how they just grate the nerves with their arrogance, and bore us to death with their superficial front. But i also think it is the frustration of the artist meeting people like this in the entertainment business, where superficial traits are lauded and propped up at the expense of some really deep and talented songwriting. So everyone famous starts to look a lot like the members of the vortex club, not down to earth, snobbish, and reaking of self centered airs. They have not grown out of their adolescent need for attention grabbing, and have not grown artistically to the point of dispensing wisdom, they are just on the surface, shallow, fake.

No, it's not about finding fame.

It's a song about a drug dealer, that's selling to someone that isn't sure if they're in or out, as they've already been caught with drugs.

The drug dealer thinks the persons anecdotes about moving house is boring, but despite that says "It's your choice" if they want the drugs or not. The person ultimately decides to buy some, to which the dealer says "Don't get found out again."
