Lyrics
Is it just a side effect
Questioning if certain feelings are a consequence
Of getting out of bed?
Reflecting on the impact of starting the day
We’ve been getting too much rest
Suggesting an excess of rest or comfort
And we’ve been in our heads
Being lost in thoughts or overthinking
Like what if this time you’re pissed off?
Contemplating potential anger in a situation
What if this time we make it through?
Expressing hope for a positive outcome
What if our heart beats get soft
Considering the vulnerability of emotions
What if there's never naked truth?
Doubting the existence of absolute truth
Our love is god
Describing the intensity and nature of love
Red hot
Emphasizing the passionate and intense aspect of love
Facade
Referring to a superficial appearance or front
And we’ve been getting high
Acknowledging the use of substances to alter consciousness
A lot
Frequency of substance use
It’s not
Contrasting reality with an idealized image
A perfect picture
Highlighting imperfections in life
We’re aging liquour
Metaphor for maturing with the aging process of alcohol
Kissing lips with dryer mouths
Describing a diminished romantic experience
Can’t feel it any less
Emphasizing emotional numbness
And I know you know that you just got me running around obsessed
Expressing a sense of being captivated and obsessed
I've been spending adolescence my tail between my legs
Reflecting on a period of life with a sense of shame or submission
Like what if this time you're pissed off?
Repetition of the earlier contemplation of potential anger
What if this time we make it through
Reiteration of hope for a positive outcome
What if our heartbeats get soft?
Reiteration of considering the vulnerability of emotions
What if there’s never naked truth?
Reiteration of doubt regarding absolute truth
Our love is god
Reiteration of the intensity and nature of love
Red hot
Reiteration of the passionate and intense aspect of love
Facade
Reiteration of referring to a superficial appearance or front
And we’ve been getting high
Reiteration of acknowledging substance use
A lot
Reiteration of the frequency of substance use
It’s not
Reiteration of contrasting reality with an idealized image
A perfect picture
Reiteration of highlighting imperfections in life
We’re aging liquor
Reiteration of metaphor for maturing with the aging process of alcohol
Our love is god
Reiteration of the intensity and nature of love
Red hot
Reiteration of the passionate and intense aspect of love
Facade
Reiteration of referring to a superficial appearance or front
And we’ve been getting high
Reiteration of acknowledging substance use
A lot
Reiteration of the frequency of substance use
It’s not
Reiteration of contrasting reality with an idealized image
A perfect picture
Reiteration of highlighting imperfections in life
We’re aging liquor
Reiteration of metaphor for maturing with the aging process of alcohol
