I want this to stop
Just tell me everything you've learned about growing up
Tell me everything is how it's supposed to be,
because I'm afraid of change
I just want all things to stay the same.
Is this what it feels like to be alone?
Distance managed by a voice on the phone
I just want you to come back home.
This weighs heavy on my chest
And I bet you've yet to notice
You're too preoccupied letting days wear you thin
So settle in to new skin.
It's a departure from their previous work, with many songs actually "slower" than earlier records, but still bringing the same energy and feeling. le monsieur
Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening. Syobnaf
