It takes me a while to admit when I'm wrong.
Not gonna lie.
I can tell you when I'm right very easily.
So I thought I wanted to write a song about knowing how to apologize and knowing how to
say, like, "It's kinda my bad.
I was maybe overthinking the situation or creating something in my head that didn't
actually exist,"
Trip wasn't like a conscious effort to be like, "Oh my God, we need to strip stuff down
and not ..." You know?
Like, just go back to the basics.
When you work and you already have a beat or something like that, it obviously controls
where you go melodically and stuff like that, but working with chords, you have a lot more
space to move around, so I wanted to just really have space to kind of go wherever I
wanted to go.
Love is not so black and white.
Like, it can be very simple or it can be very complicated.
"I put my feelings on safety," it's like it's an automatic barrier or a wall that, when
you first meet someone, you don't wanna put all of your trust into them or give them your
all because you, technically, you don't know what can happen, so as you put a gun
on safety, if you're not gonna shoot it, we're putting our feelings on safety.
Say you're doing a 10K, right?
And you've put all of this training in, you've put all of this working out, eating well,
like, preparing yourself for this marathon, and you get to the marathon and you do 9K
of that 10K, and then you just collapse.
That's frustrating.
That's very upsetting, and I feel like it's the same, in the sense of putting time and
effort and loving someone to not get there in the end.
When you get married, you say, "For better or for worse," right?
So, we said, "That's just too bitter for worse, don't wanna taste it," as in imagine if you're
getting married to someone and they say, "For better or for worse," but we're using it better
as bitter, because this is a bitter situation.
So it was kind of a play on words I don't think anyone got, but it's fine because I
love it.
What do I drink?
I like vodka, which is very English of me, I feel like.
The chorus, is a moment of realization of being like, "Wait.
I have to give everyone an even playing field," and be like, "This is actually me.
I'm making something up that doesn't exist," so I'm done trippin'.
It's not really trippin', but there's this new thing in London that says, "You're done
out here."
That's basically like, "You're finished," kind of thing
I definitely feel like love can feel like a drug sometimes.
Sometimes you feel like if you're not getting back the same love that you're putting in,
you're withdrawn, almost.
That's why good relationships last so long.
It can be both sides of the spectrum, really, but I definitely feel like you can feel like
you're addicted to a person or loving a person, that feeling that they give you.
It's definitely, again, a play on, "He got a big ego ...". This is not necessarily a
bad situation.
It's almost too good, so I'm trying to make it bad to protect myself.
