This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It took a little longer than we hoped, but it was worth it
You know, it takes a village to raise a scheme; to patch the holes of a mausoleum
Well, we're packing in the patronage like it's a lotto (and everybody wins)
Now take a seat so the show can start, and will you welcome these works of art?
Isn't she beautiful? No?
Maybe another one here could entertain? Aww, Yes?
We swear that every minute's worth the wait
Hey! It's a cry you can't contain; a release you couldn't estimate, and the secret's safe as long as you pay
It's so good to be so bad!
You can leave it when you walk away, and pretend you've washed your hands of it
Last call for the Sunday squaws, and there's no room left for hem and haw
We'll give a gift long overdue and make a sultan out of you
That's right; yeah, any troglodyte can have a life in the party as a socialite, or if you're looking to efface, you can retire without a trace
Don't you bother with doubt
Hey! It's a cry you can't contain; a release you couldn't estimate, and the secret's safe as long as you pay
It's so good to be so bad!
You can leave it when you walk away, and pretend you've washed your hands of it
Another candidate for giving her bruises
Another night that she'll dissociate
Another man who thinks the rules don't apply to him
Another candidate for giving her bruises
Another night that she'll dissociate
Long was this road I've wandered, but short did my temperance live
Here I've helped him build a temple to deify this czar of sin
Now who to blame, but I for tying these knots so well at my wrists
The noose would surely find me if I'm too wily
But what of the life I'd live?
The sale of a soul that falls
As foolish as young esau...
It's better if I withdraw
Hey! It's a cry you can't contain; a release you couldn't estimate, and the secret's safe as long as you pay
It's so good to be so bad!
You can leave it when you walk away, and pretend you've washed your hands of it
You know, it takes a village to raise a scheme; to patch the holes of a mausoleum
Well, we're packing in the patronage like it's a lotto (and everybody wins)

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”
