Killjoy
Unmasking Party Masks: Through the Tallwoods' Killjoy Revelations
Lyrics
There's a lit cigarette burning on the couch beside me
Observing a burning cigarette on the couch next to the speaker.
There's a girl, way too drunk, insisting she's still driving
A heavily intoxicated girl insists on driving, posing a danger.
You shouldn't have brought me to the party
Expressing regret about being brought to the party.
I'll just sit, overthink, watch your friends, have a drink
The speaker plans to overthink, watch others, and have a drink.
Then I'll go home alone when you pass out on the couch
Anticipating going home alone after you pass out on the couch.
You always say, I kill the mood when all I do, is tell the truth
Addressing criticism that the speaker kills the mood by telling the truth.
Does it always do this shit to you
Questioning if telling the truth always causes discomfort.
Make you so uncomfortable?
Asking if the truth-telling behavior consistently makes the listener uncomfortable.
I see you scratching at your wrists
Observing the listener scratching at their wrists, possibly a sign of nervousness.
I pick up quick on nervous tics
Noticing and understanding nervous habits quickly.
But we're going out cause fuck this shit
Despite the challenges, deciding to go out and rebel against the situation.
If I move enough I can't be depressed- right?
Using movement as a way to avoid feeling depressed.
You shouldn't have brought me
Repeating regret about being brought to the party.
To your party
Emphasizing the inappropriateness of bringing the speaker to the party.
When all your friends say I'm
Addressing the judgment of being a "killjoy" from the friends.
A fucking killjoy
Explicitly labeled as a "killjoy" by the friends.
You shouldn't have brought me
Reiterating the mistake of bringing the speaker to the party.
To your party
Restating the inappropriate choice of bringing the speaker to the party.
When all your friends say I'm
Highlighting the social judgment of being a "killjoy" again.
A fucking killjoy- am I your fucking killjoy baby?
Pondering whether the speaker is indeed a "killjoy."
