It's hard to leave people behind--yet it can be far worse when others leave you behind. That feeling is what Move is all about. It's describing a desire to stop everything in order to hold on, fighting the fear of being abandoned, and crying out when life feels overwhelming. Practically, the song experiments by mixing up its flow several times in the second-half, like an ever-shifting plea begging to be heard. It's odd form makes it a challenging yet highly versatile song for anyone willing to take it on. This is the sister-song to Alone, able to be played immediately before or after it.
Being around friends and family doesn't mean that you don't feel lonely. Being near those you love doesn't mean you feel wanted or important. And pretending everything is still okay will only tear you apart from the inside-out. This song lacks specificity, yet applies to many people in a very personal manner. It's a self-titled anthem for anyone with relationships that still lets them feel alone.
A poetic song, telling the story of someone sacrificing their family in order to obtain fame.
No surprise here--this song is about battling mental illness, and how it can absolutely shake-up one's life. The song is contemplative but aggressive, an anthem of venting against the illness while encouraging others to keep fighting. It also dives into the difficulty of normal life and how hard it can be to communicate with others who don't struggle the same way. Ultimately, there is always hope--even when you fall--and the strength you need is never as far away as it seems.
The title of this song captures its essence. Sometimes you have to leave behind those who only see what they think of you instead of who you are. But sometimes, that also means they never notice when you've disengaged, much less when you've departed. It can take a confrontation to find any consolation, but DYKIBG is about the break-away that needs to happen before reconciliation can be realized.
