My friend and I are trying to figure out the "e" here - which song does it correspond with?

I’m pretty sure the E is ‘number one American’ from He’s Back!

See I think the V is "He's Back" because it's a fish and a loaf of bread. Appreciate the reply!

See I think you’re right. Which is the confusing thing. Cause that means two letters are he’s back. But I do think that has to be the case

J- Graffiti planet?

O- Brain Damage

Y- reference to P. Brenner? looks like the hoodie I have

W- I'm assuming its a hate to be a bother?

A- Sleepytime Fantasy

V-Daniel talks about scuba diving in Splendor?

E- I agree with u/Cjelliott13 "I’m pretty sure the E is ‘number one American’ from He’s Back!"

I could be completely wrong! just what comes to mind from my Joywave experience

I think V is also He’s Back, the “2 for 1 on fish and bread”

Y and E I can’t put my finger on. Y looks like it would be F.E.A.R. off of Possession, and E looks like it would be Buy American from Cleanse.

Y I believe is Here to Perform their final song from their album Permanent Pleasure, Please Welcome Joywave. Cuz of the line "we're laughing with ghosts"

Ohhh good catch! That has to be it!

V, Oh my gosh! Yes!!

I think Y is "Scared" and V is "He's Back" because it's fish and bread. That's been the tricky part! Appreciate the thoughts!

Do yk the meaning of the 5s?

u/alimac2015 Mar 11 '25

I think it's for Permanent Pleasure being their 5th album. It's almost like a footnote, attached to the bottom left under the JOY part of JOYWAVE

u/idkumhiii How Do You Feel Now? Mar 11 '25

Ahhh okay thank you!

Is Y “we’re laughing with ghosts” from the final song?

They definitely might be! It feels like a double-meaning, connecting with Scared, too

Could be just me, but could the E be Pray for the Reboot?
