[@eclecticdaisy]

Song about two lost souls reconnecting, rediscovery, self reflection, self love, self awareness. Your soul mate.

[@albinoburrito900]

it's about the necessary evils of falling in love with people that aren't good for you in order to discover yourself, and the scars that you both receive and create in this process

[@dewimatthews6037]

DC,Condescend much?

[@albinoburrito900]

@dewimatthews6037 when you're wrong you're wrong mate 🤷‍♀️

[@YoshiEaterX]

I play this jam at LEAST 4 times during my shift at work. I play then at specific times to provide that jazzy boost of sonic energy to finish my shift strong. Necessary evil.

[@jessewru6425]

Duddde, slow song by the knocks ft. Dragonette is great peircing too

[@mitragynin5442]

This always reminds me of the girl I lost. Not a bad feeling, just recognizing what a beautiful relationship we had back then..

[@kevinoolla]

Transform into the animal you need to Fly from a destiny infested with chemicals You need a new drug not invented by the C.I.A I wanna be your friend but don’t have the self-control We’re in love But I don’t get what you see in me [Chorus] Lovin' me could be your fatal flaw Just hangin' in here trying to be your Necessary evil, necessary evil [Verse 2] Nobody can get a tan in the moonlight Come on inside, tell me: is it just a bit too much?

Reminds me of Clarence/Over the Garden Wall. Looks nice, and the jam is chill to boot.

[@purplelizard2348]

can't tell if this song is pro-drugs or anti-drugs

[@jacebelachase8273]

PurpleLizard 23 it's just drugs. Honest

[@E-99x]

PurpleLizard 23 I think anti-drugs: At the end of the video they start clawing each other's eyes out/attacking each other. Plus the song has "necessary evil" in it. In the beginning they're on "a high" both in love and taking drugs (as the song says "I'm in love and I don't care" and the couple takes drugs- by the end of the relationship, they have "withdrawal" and start attacking one another and the singer keeps repeating "necessary evil". Like it's necessary for people to wakeup after a false high. Drugs make you see what you want, not what's actually there.

[@luisapalomo8377]

but thats not even the meaning of the song lol, its quite contrary, they are not promoting drugs or anything like that, just a video for christ sake

[@UnkelAdd]

I think youre colour blind bro

[@psychotripnerdstuff]

I've noticed a lot of his songs are kind of "drug ambivalent". Another example is "acid rain". It's kind of fascinating. It feels like he intentionally places these dark undertones to his drug references, and just kind of glosses over them. Sort of like someone who uses a lot, but tries not to think about it. It's just part of life.
