Could there be a tie to his last video about Wilbur with: Charles being William, with his dad having a shit ton of money, being a Tory (very conservative), and being entitled. Sam being William, William has gotten better but is still in a bad relationship b/c of how he views himself. Also William being the same person (in this channel theory Jared) singing Karen, I Miss The Kids, just later on. Thought while I was writing this: OMG COULD KAREN BE THIS SAM?!?!?!?

I think the easiest way to know that lovejoy's music has lore, is to realize that wilbur, whose the singer and song writer for most (if not all) songs, LOVES ARGs and has already had lore in his personal albums.

and he literally wrote the dream smp lore

"why did you have to kill my cat" is a refrence to the term "curiousity killed the cat" implyong that the singer and the person in question got back together as evidenced by the next line. its nothing more than a clever line

I know. I feel like not enough people understand this line and it confuses me because I got it pretty much the first time i heard it

[@insert_artist_here532]

I really like this theory, but what if it strings in with the other timeline with William? William gives up with Pandora, and starts trying to pull his life back together. He's still working as a janitor, obviously, but he meets Felicity. Felicity decides to start talking to William, because maybe he'd be willing to date her and he is. Lo and behold, William is still William, and is just as desperate for a relationship as Felicity. A perfect recipe for disaster. The only thing that this would change from the video would be the names--interchange Sam for William. William is still kind of stuck up, but he's at least figured out how to be nice by now. Charles and Jared would be pretty similar for William too, since each of them took away someone he loved (luckily William isn't Jared and doesn't stab anyone, he just gets drunk and angry I think). Tl:dr, I like the theory, though personally think Sam is William (from the other video), who is desperately trying to pull his life together and failing

I don’t remember if this was in the song, but I think the part “cultured man, venetian suntan, red wine and club bands, viagra pills on the night stand” is Sam mocking Charles’s pros to Felicity and “How’s it feel? How’s it feel to be so loved? How’s it feel to be so loved yet so alone?” is Sam telling Felicity that even tho Charles is “there” and “loves” Felicity, she is still alone, and Sam would be a better partner, since he always took care of Felicity and “played the empath” I hope you like my theory:)))

[@wagweez8356]

The cat line is from the phrase "curiosity killed the cat" saying that the girl(subject) made him curious and dragged him down a spiral and killed his "cat" maybe meaning his love life or wanting to be curious

[@swanstarr1441]

I've thought that the fall was about dissolusionment with the british government since when it came up, so i think that fit's well with the theory, a song about a depressed politician ranting his point of view also being about that politicians slip from faith in a government they support would work pretty well i feel.

[@jellymae908]

In “you’ll understand when you’re older” “Sam” says, “and if you think that it gets better-“ which doesn’t seem noticeable right? BUT, as a person who listens to any song sang by Wilbur Soot WAYY too much, I noticed that it sounded a lot like, or exactly the same that Wilbur sang “and if you think that it gets better, darling take a look at me”. Quite maybe Charles didn’t see anything wrong here, and didn’t know about “sam”..but maybe “Sam” is “Jared” or yknow……. It’s all just music-

[@alexanderpapasavva5848]

I think wilbur said he likes the idea of different songs and different eps telling a story

[@atriphi_]

i love this idea so much and it’s caused me to look a lot deeper into the music as a whole because i think there’s a ton of stuff that’s super important which wasn’t included (also if these were mentioned i may have just missed them so sorry but) this is in order of the songs and is in no way chronological one day one day was talked about quite a lot so i don’t feel the need to go too in-depth about that but sex sells to me i feel like the song sex sells might be the most important song to the lore as it confirms the fact that 1) sam cares deeply about felicity even though she’s going out with a tory (charels) and really cares about her having a place to sleep and 2) the line “swore she’d never kiss a tory, but this boy was to good to lose” cause for concern and the song cause for concern feels to me like felicity in a way trying to convince sam that everything is fine and he doesn’t have any reason to be concerned oh yeah, you gonna cry? and then the song oh yeah, you gonna cry? seems really important, as it seems like sam ranting about or to charels about felicity leaving him for charels and to me it seems like sam knows that felicity does still miss him and doesnt even actually love charels, she’s just never satisfied with what she has. model busses and then i feel like a lot of important things from model busses, while we’re talked about a lot has a lot more meaning to it where sam is talking to felicity about the fact that she doesn’t love charels and that she’s just “scared of future” and is using charels as an escape from the money problems they had concrete & perfume i feel like concrete was covered really well and so was perfume you’ll understand when your older i feel like you’ll understand when your older is probably set earlier on in the lore when sam and felicity were still together but through the song i think it reveals that felicity was with charels while she was still with sam because as he says “you’re hiding a dark secret, but your talking in your sleep”, and it seems like felicity is in a way manipulating sam, by comforting him and acting like she cares about him “drying his tears” but most likely sam knows that it’s all a façade which we saw earlier in one day, but because he depends on her to make his life at work and at home bearable he’s too scared to leave her the fall i think the fall was covered very well, it seems like charels taking felicity out constantly to try and cover up his sadness and keep her with him because he knows she still misses sam, he talks about his problems with substance abuse and depression even naming the antidepressants “sertraline” and “prozac’s” it’s all futile! it’s all pointless then it’s all futile! it’s all pointless! like it’s from the perspective of sam as he looks back on his relationship with felicity and how when he got with her he “lost the passion that comes with living”, it implies that sam knows that felicity will never forget him no matter how hard she tries and shows he’s finally begging to get over her, it sounds like he’s speaking to felicity or about her to someone as he speaks directly about how he knows that her relationship with charels isn’t what she wanted it to be and she’s never gonna feel “naive love” again, however he shows that he isn’t actually fully over her when he says “and this is the part where i shut up and let you infest my brain, wrap your arms around my cortex dig you in and let you drain” knee deep at the atp then i feel like (though this video was made before lovejoy released knee deep at the atp) though knee deep at the atp isn’t a song made by lovejoy and was remade as a collab between lovejoy and los campesinos i still feel like it’s important to the lore and it sounds like a song from sams point of view in which him and felicity have just broken up, he reminisces about the time they time they spent together but then realised he’s the “B-side” and isn’t felicity’s priority anymore, she just cares way more about going out and having fun and left him for charels because he “took you to the beach” which i think ties back to the fall where charels talks about taking felicity on vacations this is so long omg

[@bubblesthecat3497]

Note: This is just my theory :D Best thing about art is that it can be interpreted different ways. I see sex sells as someone killing there lover with the lines: And I'll listen carefully With ears pressed to the floor As you make your way downstairs You haven't got far to fall Now it's red, now it's dead Now it's everything she needed Now it's four open doors Pillows pressed under your knees Now it's a sad, sappy sucker To ensure a happy ending And the fall as someone slowly falling into insanity, and at the end him dyeing.

[@eulaliasofiagarrido8329]

And, respecting with 'The Fall', I think that, beyond that the singer is going crazy, I consider that he becomes conscious of the life of city and hypocrisy he is in. He, and also, another person he mention is by him side, notes that absurd that the modernity and the oblivion makes in youngsters no more interested ( Explained in lines like "They never know how many lives it took" and "How many groceries need a country?"), they know and are scare of the fact that "It's not that simple, but he won't seem to notice./ There most be more to this" And this make sense when, now he is 'high', not only because the substances, he reclaims and acuse because of this. Despite the apathy they feel, or maybe because if that, he searched to be high, by knowing what others not, that, inevitably, it's gonna fall.

The "eat those kids" part could've been seen as a reference to what ranboo said in mcc but this EP came out before then so I'm not convinced

[@BlazingObsidianProductions]

Okay, the upbeat music might make It's all Futile, It's all Pointless sound like an optimistic song, however it in no way is a happy song. It tells the story of Sam and Felicity (same names, but different story mind you), where Felicity is better off, and Sam is broken. "I've lost the passion that comes with living since I started university" It clearly states that Sam misses his life before university, the life as a teenager, the carefree and happy times. "Took a geography course to learn the datelines and maybe use a sextant" He sought to learn the way the world works, and find some direction in life, get some clue about what he wants to do. "Now I press facsimiles" Sam is doing a boring monotonous job, or that his life is repetitive and has lost all excitement, or "passion" "You're exactly who you wanted to be, that's what you say" Felicity might not be the most pleased with her life, but she got what she always desired as a kid, which is "to watch TV, and sleep all day and lay in bed" That is, do nothing and rely on the rich guy she married, or become a gold digger. "You're forgetting that I've gotta go to work, and eat my food.... Maybe use a sextant" Sam is planning ahead about his life, he has some immediate objectives, or he's just desperate, but he still hasn't figured out what to do next. "I don't miss you, I miss the thought of what we were" Sam doesn't miss Felicity, he misses true love. He might be married to someone, but he misses the excitement and spark he had with Felicity. "Is this the part where I shut up, and let you infest my brain?" Sam craves for the chemistry he had with Felicity, and therefore let's here "infest" or manipulate his mind. "Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain" Felicity wraps her arms around his "cortex" (interesting choice of words, cortex in biology means the external part of anything; Felicity can touch him physically, but her words infest his brain mentally; i.e, she's using words, as well as hormones, to draw Sam towards her, because she is in fact unhappy with her current life" "But it's okay, it's a strategy to make sure I remain" Sam might be beginning to have feelings for her, but he's interested in her newly acquired wealth as well, which ofcourse is his "strategy". "You'll never get rid of me, I'm like a fucking disease. I'll make a home in your gut, cuz it's somewhere warm to sleep" Wilbur's obsession for her grows, he also _kinda_ uses her to extract money from her current rich hubby/boyfriend. Because, it's apparent that Sam is broke. "And what was your thought when you realised that you'll never feel naiive love again?" Sam and Felicity had been together for quite some time, before their break up, because Felicity was Sam's first and last naiive love, and it was the same thing for Felicity as well. Sam chose by outward apperance, and Felicity did a super naiive move of fake dating to pretend to be cool at school/college. However, they did enjoy what they have, when it was a simpler time, and they miss it now. "Was it pain, or was it sickness, were you proud of who you'd been?" Sam asks Felicity to self reflect, and see what she truly wants in life. "The shyness waiting for his phonecalls, replaced by apathy and dating apps. You held his hands, it felt like flying. Now he's just another man" He explains that they want very different things in life. The reason that they felt that way was due to the fact that they had never been in love before, and they enjoyed a relationship, due to the fact that it was a relationship. It was never really the person. Or atleast it isn't anymore. "You'd rather he was inside than beside you" He tells her that she really hates him (Sam), and doesn't want a future with him actually. What she really wants is to "Watch TV and sleep all day, and lay in bed", which is something she won't get with Sam. "But he's talking marriage and a future. He's picking a lock he doesn't go into" Sam says that if they can get what they had in the past, he's ready to make an exception for her. Even though he knows, it won't work out. "His knife in a wound, he's a suture" There's always the ever looming presence of Charles (or the third party), who is more suited in fulfilling Felicity's childhood fantasy. It might not be ideal for Felicity herself, but she's better off this way. Summed Up: Both their lives are sad, but it won't be any happier if they were together, and the characters realise this throughout the song.

Glad you think so!

[@drip216]

when i heard "wake and it's over" i knew there was something in that ep, you can see (or hear) things that are linked in other musics if you pay attention

[@holgervr7574]

I really like the way you try to weave a throughline through the EP’s. It’s a really interesting way to look at it. Unfortunately, you have a lot of lyrics not exactly right, fogging the way you percieve the meaning. The biggest one is in sex sells. You percieve the narrator to say ‘he’ (the one with whom his girlfriend cheats on him) is a councilman. The actual lyric, however reads ‘his daddy works on the council’, which would make your interpretation a bit different.

its almost like they are made by the same people, in the same album, and are probably about the same thing....

[@tinaris4477]

What that's crazy don't spread such slander /j

[@shadespherestudios9490]

I’ve been thinking this for forever. Idk, maybe it’s just that I’ve always overthought things, but I kinda tied it together to the 3 main characters, (Sam, Felicity, and Charles) The fact that they’re not good as a couple, Charles and Felicity being together, and finally Charles being abusive and stuff.

[@shadespherestudios9490]

I dunno, it’s just wacky. Pretty Pog.
