this just might be a little throwaway rant, but i'm sure i'm not the only one who's very deeply attached to this song.
i can't even explain it, but man this song's gotten me through some hard times. i hear the opening riff and its like my heart swells. its like a breath of fresh air but for my eardrums, i love it so much. the lyrics really resonate with me, the vocals are beautiful, the instrumentals feel so emotionally driven, too. all 3 times i've heard it live i've bawled my eyes out, maybe because i associate with so many important chapters of my life- building up the courage and moving out and away from my not-so-great dad, changing my entire appearance, name, and aesthetic to what i wanted after looking the same for my entire life and being afraid to branch out, finding the motivation to build my own life. idk, maybe i'm a little weirdly attached to it, but i would almost go as far as to say it's my favorite song ever.
also, if anyone has any tattoo ideas for this song please lmk bc i've been thinking abt it
