LYRICS
I always say, I always say that it’s the last time
A promise I can’t keep
I always say I’ll get a grip and it’ll be fine
But I lie straight through my teeth
And though I try and do it right with my intentions
Yeah they’re good they never break but I still bend em
But this devil on my shoulder wants to pull me underneath
It’s another sleepless night
Staring through the ceiling
Wondering how could I
Calm my head yeah calm my head
Cause
I see red
My blood is boiling and it shows
When all you are is a weapon
You shoot em down till you end up alone
I seem fine
But I can’t take the highs and the lows
All I am is a weapon
I shoot em down till I end up alone
I always say
I hate the way you
Look at me now
And I swear
I didn’t mean
To be a let down
What I broke can’t be fixed with
All my sorry excuses
Another sleepless night
Staring through the ceiling
Wondering how could I
Calm my head yeah calm my head
Cause
No I won’t go under
No I won’t back down
Bittersweet surrender
Everything is better now
No I won’t go under
No I won’t back down
Bittersweet surrender
It’s better now

The acoustic version is the opposite of the original version and indeed there is no fire but WATER. They're are such amazing in these details. The acoustic versions have this light blue/green on the background that is the opposite of the dark red of the rock versions. WOW!

I've been listening to this song on repeat for the last 2 hours, and I can't help but hear how the original sounds like Chrissy's letting out her anger and rage, and then the acoustic sounds like she's letting out her pain and sorrows. As a girl who does nothing but listen to music and write stories all day, these two would make incredible beginning and ending themes for a story that I would love to write!

[@ghastlyjewel6836]

@somebodyelsewhere itsthere I know right? Like, I sat here just listening to it, and my mind was just like "Hey, these sound like this and this." And I'm just like, "Omg, you're right!"

[@AirDrawnDagger]

Love this 🥰💙

[@rainestar82]

finding this 2 years later as a fellow writer who imagines whole worlds and characters through music as well, this touched me and I wanna add my own poc: the original is where the character starts, this is the ending, looking back, a bittersweet ending. They've lost, it hurts, but the anger has given away to knowledge of themselves, accepting the pain and using it for power, to move forward.

[@serenaamethystarlington1658]

I absolutely love how Chrissy is singing under the rain (?) While Dan and Will is projected in the background with subtle flames flickering on their forms then gradually vanishes throughout the song. The fire is already snuffed out but this performance is blazing!!! I don't need sleep, I need to put this on repeat ❤️

Dang the acoustic cover hits different. I can take time to take in the lyrics

[@victos-vertex]

Indeed, I however still struggle to hear the word "boiling". I don't know it doesn't even remotely sound like it. Was this ever addressed by them? Like is it intentional or just a minor mistake? Like even when it's really slow at 2:57 it sounds like like " my blood is boikeling and it shows" I still love the song, just curious as I couldn't understand it in the other version and still find the same pronunciation here.

[@behyon_]

@@victos-vertex it’s because when /l/ is the ending consonant, you’ll kinda have an extra half syllable for it. Boil will sound like boy-yel if slowly pronounced. And in this song, boiling gets tricker as it’ll have to be rhythmically synced so you’ll hear like 3 syllables: boy-yel-ling. An explanation from a non-native speaker but hope this helps.

[@behyon_]

It just crossed my mind that you may know the pronunciation and you were just saying that it sounded different. Haha sorry.

[@farhanshah6688]

@@victos-vertex and you're defo right there's a voice of "k" while she says boiling it feels like biokeling

[@Talezassian]

Yeah, one can't help but think on the parallels. It'll be interesting to see if they keep moving on together as a band or whether they grow apart and start doing things separately the way Paramore has

Fun fact there's a psychological reason for that. It's called situational memory. That's also why if you, say, chewed a certain type of gum while studying for the test and did it again during the test, you're more likely to remember. Another instance I remember was when police had a witness to a crime who couldn't remember what he saw when he sobered up, they got him drunk again and took his statement.
