Whenever he says, "It doesn't bother me at all," I just think about when you're genuinely upset. Trying to calm yourself down, rationalizing and making it seem like it's not a big deal, it doesn't bother me.
And as always, with La Dispute the musicality of it just fits with the song perfectly, and when the guitar slowly starts to build, it's like the anxiety of it all.
The tension building, the anxiety growing larger, swallowing you whole, and then it breaks- and the screaming in the background starts. Just like when you breakdown and you submit to your true feelings
So here, in contrast to how he always says it doesn't bother me at all the lyrics
"I have tried hard to stay hopeful in the moments
They cut ropes to set you free.
I have always tried to point the finger elsewhere.
This time it points to me."
Are words that are thought behind those closed doors, in the background of everything, so even while you outwardly say, "It doesn't bother me at all"
In the background of it all, it's eating you from the inside, and there's only you to blame
