"Nobody saw us in the hotel lobby And nobody saw us with your sweatshirt on me And nobody saw us leaving bruises on our necks In a summer spent in a coat check" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- so basically, the relationship was secret. or at least, they tried / are assuming that nobody knows about it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Nobody wondered where you went all April Like kicking feet under the whole damn world's table But my friends discovered when you left me in July No, I didn't cry, kept the lie alive" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- something happened in april, obviously - perhaps they took a break. nobody cared, or noticed, probably because they both hid it well. but then, cone's friends discovered this lie when his ex left him "in july" - but conan tried his best to keep the facade up. what this facade is isn't directly stated, so we gotta just interpret it. i'm gonna assume it's that the relationship is fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "But the church bells won't stop ringing For an undead wedding day And you've spent the summer drinking While I spent it being erased" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- cone's ex has drinking problems, looks like, which has been stated throughout basically all of the songs in this album. so really, someone's NOT over the other person. which is fine and reasonable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "And I tried to hide the feeling But it just won't go away Let's pretend nothing happened, I agree But you're a much better actor than me" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- the implication that his ex is an actor- not just in this song, but in others as well. but essentially, they're burying their relationship deep deep down- possibly, hence the line "an UNDEAD wedding day" that never happened? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A friend of mine asked you, "Have you talked to Conan?" You didn't react, you said, "I barely even () know him" You're saving your face, but you take it out on your nose The white wind blows, and now I'm lives ago" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- y'all please don't- i can't say it on scratch but please don't take "medication" without a doctor's prescription and don't use it for the non intended purpose. that's what the ex is doing, essentially. but the subject of this song is denying the relationship completely. pretending it never even happened. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "But the church bells won't stop ringing For an undead wedding day And you've spent the summer drinking While I spent it being erased And I tried to hide the feeling But it just won't go away Let's pretend nothing happened, I agree But you're a much better actor than me" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- same thing as the previous chorus - except this time conan's saying, like, "hey, you're good at pretending to be over it but maybe i'm not." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If you ever cared, well, I wouldn't know Blame it on a bad manic episode" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- reference to maniac- but i think what this is is that after introspection... the ex didn't care about conan that much. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "When you meet a girl on some TV show There's a side of you that she'll never know Tell all your friends that she's the one And you can say it's love" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- someone's clearly not over the relationship, because he and the ex bonded so much - "there's a side of you that she'll never know..." reminds me a bit of care: "but there will always be parts of me that are yours-" cause if you put that much effort into a relationship - platonic or not - you're bound to leave an impact. which, again. fair. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "But the church bells won't stop ringing For an undead wedding day And you've spent your whole life drinking Oh, drinking me away And I tried to hide the feeling But I just can't lie that way You pretend nothing happened, I believe 'Cause you're a much better actor" ------------------------------------------------------------------------- my final note to end this off is to please watch what things you consume and engage in, okay? <33 but actor is a peak song for real. we love wishbone in this household. this one's for you, carys and nyx lol- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- love, daph
music coming soon i swear
