For context:

My English teacher has agreed to dissect the lyrics to any one song of my choosing, in exchange for me listening to the new taylor swift album. An immaculate proposal if you ask me.

I was trying to come up with a song that has really interesting/deep lyrics, but the lyrics aren’t:

A: so complex that it becomes a nothing burger

B: too reliant on other aspects of the story/concept it is a part of (hence my asking for “stand-alone” lyrics

Also, preferably not something disgustingly heavy, as I’d prefer not to completely destroy any chances of her listening to more.

What comes to mind?

Edit: Top picks are disease, sun of nothing, informal gluttony, white walls, desert of song, Selkies, and obviously camilla rhodes. I may offer more than one song to cover the variety btbam has to offer, but only time will tell. I can’t guarantee anything worth a follow up will transpire, as it’s likely she just hates all that “screamo garbage” but if anything cool happens I’ll post an update. Thanks for all the suggestions 🤘

Edit Edit: swim to the moon 😎

Decided to put together a list of all the times I've seen My favorite band live. It hasn't been cheap, but it has been incredibly rewarding and some of the greatest memories of my life.

UV ink too. It’s a real hit at bowling allies.

Just wanted to come on here and say that that Colors show in Seattle was the best concert I've ever been to. The two shows together were 10/10. Hope everyone else has as much fun at their shows as I did!! 🤘🏻

Does anyone have a Night 2/Colors 2 VIP poster they'd be willing to part with? I wasn't able to attend night 2, but I have two Night 1 VIP posters. I will gladly trade or trade + cash to get one of the Night 2 VIP posters. Thanks for considering!

First of all, I love this song. It took a few listens for me to fully grasp it and for it to grow on me, but now it is one of my absolute favorites.

One thing keeps sticking in my head though. At the 15:10 mark, immediately following the "Look into the picture" breakdown, it just sort of loses momentum for me... the "This is what I lived to be" part. I don't know how to describe it. It feels a bit "messy" to me and like it is a departure from the brutality of the breakdown. Maybe I just want more breakdown, or a further escalation of that breakdown?

Does anyone else feel this way, or is it just me?

Don't think I ever shared this here but seems like the right crowd

I was buying merch and this bad boy was delivered to the table just as it was my turn to buy! Opportunity of a lifetime !! I am so stoked

Attention Portland attendees, if you plan on attending tomorrow too, please don’t forget to shower and wear deodorant. PLEASE. 😅

Face value, must pick up in person in south seattle. DM me if interested!

Can’t wait to do it again tomorrow.

Recently discovered these guys and have been absolutely blown away, musically they're scratching the same itch the BTBoys do for me. Vesica Piscis is a modern prog metal masterpiece and these guys deserve way more attention than the ~7,500 Spotify listeners they've got.

That being said, it appears they've been MIA since 2019. Anybody know what they've been up to or if more music is on the way?

We have one extra ticket for Portland tonight. Face value. DM me or reply here if interested

Can we expect some new Nova Collective in the future? I'm fucking dying for another album!

I play drums and live close. Hmu

I missed my chance to grab a ticket before the show sold out. Anyone have a one they’re looking to sell? Thanks!

Have 2 2day GA tickets but can’t make the show tonight. Selling significantly below face value.

What the title says. DM me interested. Don’t want to let these go to waste in this sold out show!
