okay i know youngblood (song) is super popular and we love the shuffle beat and the bass line and all the other funky sounds they put in there but. can we talk about it lyrically for a second. 'i'm just a dead man walking tonight'/'i'm just a dead man crawling tonight' like. how exhausted (by this relationship, and everything i guess) you'd have to be to feel like this. the way it captures the process leading to that feeling in the verses. of this relationship, was it really ever that because it's sounding more like a concept you long for and idealise and keep coming back to to your own detriment like an addiction, dying and just being unable to accept its death. in fact the whole album is like that. and it feels like your life is ending or has ended that's how much you've attached yourself to it, when it's gone, walking around in a daze you might as well be dead yeah your body is going through the motions but you're not there. dissociated to who knows where. and then. there's another chance. crawling in desperation, dignity all gone, and you'd think you feel alive but no, you're still dead, too dead to realise this is bad for you your body is just crawling back to this person on its own accord. so much pushing and pulling away has left you so shaken there's nothing left that can see the bigger picture and decide more than one thing into the future. holding onto the hope of this failed relationship which isn't even a hope it's just an illusion, the connection you think you want but it's never going to be that. it's not capable of ever being what you need. this relationship is dead. and when you attach your whole self to it, so are you.
