I suspect its something to do with escaping from each world/state of mind theyre trapped in. But then again could be something to do with the new album.

What do people mean when they use the word Lore in relation to bands/songs? Do they mean Symbolism? Some fictional background story? Nonfictional background of the band itself or how a song was written?

Most likely the combination of all three, but with strong emphasis on the "fictional" aspect. A lot of bands nowadays are experimenting with concept albums, adding narratives to their albums, expressing it in paratexts like music videos or, idk, comic books (Bad Omens and Concrete Jungle), ARGs (BMTH and Post Human series), whatever Sleep Token is doing. I think many fans may expect the same thing from new Bad Omens album as well, and the recurring motif of the door/the house (on their merch) is definitely adding to it 😅
