aj's pick heheh, audio from @sofie-art "Heard you're in the city, I felt like total () Walking past the Tower Hotel I used to pick you up after shooting all day We'd drive around talking 'bout how we hate this place Luka says you're dating again, it's horrible Getting all your news through a friend Been tryna hide that I'm still here stuck in your hell So really, man, if you're out here doing well" [okay okay so like- conan's talking about how the environment he's in right now is just like- yk yk causing him to remember this person so well. which is honestly real, like sometimes the littlest things remind you of people </3 this entire song is also more about the vibe of "the ex moved on but i didn't" hence the line "been tryna hide that i'm still here stuck in your hell"] "Don't tell me Don't tell me I can hear it Don't tell me" [so basically conan doesn't want to hear from his ex (or really anyone, i guess) about how they've moved on. and how he hasn't. i find the line about "i can hear it" because it's like he already knows it's coming, quite interesting!] "Spare me all the stories of how you're moving on Lying to myself when I say that's what I want Part of me just wanted some proof It's hurting you in the way it's hurting me too And I know what you said as I was leaving your place You've got a messed-up head and you need some space I said, "Yeah, that's clear, go get some help" But if you're working on yourself" [okay so again, like, the theme of "hey i'm not over this yet, are you? oh you are... okay-" which is fine and reasonable btw. so essentially, according to this specific song, the ex left partly to try to work on themselves as well.] "Don't tell me Don't tell me I can hear it Don't tell me" [same as above, y'all know the drill by now lol, go drink water <3] "I wish you the best but hope that you die inside Every time I'm playing in London If there is someone new that you're out here ()" [oh- london reference? but yeah so like, sorta a comment like "yep good luck to you but like also you can go away please-" and more on the theme of "hey are you struggling as much as i am?" or maybe "how have you moved on so quick?"] "Don't tell me (it's easier to never know) Don't tell me (than face it that you're letting go) I can hear it (sometimes there's just so much to say) Don't tell me (that it don't matter anyway) Don't tell me (it's easier to never know) Don't tell me ('cause I've still got a little hope) I can hear it (that you might want me back one day) Don't tell me (and I can be the one to walk away)" [so like- avoidance "it's easier to never know than face it that you're letting go" (that hits really hard and idk why-) butttt the most interesting, to me, line is: "'cause i've still got a little hope that you might want me back one day, and i can be the one to walk away" so maybe conan wants to like... idk, be the person leaving this time?] Walk away (walk away) Walk away (walk away) Walk away (walk away) Walk away (walk away) Don't tell me No, don't tell me [yeah, real emphasis on the walking away part <3 this one was short cause i don't know lol, i'm sleepy for no reason] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- love, daph ps: help my friend said sunset tower (and care-) remind her of me in a platonic way. like i love her for that but i can't say that without sounding weird-
