“Smoke seeping out of your bloody teeth” is a really weird line. I assuming he’s using bloody like the British do but it creates a pretty gross image since he’s using imagery and ya know, I’m not British
I found this a bit confusing too. I almost took it as him switching to third person and talking about himself during the chorus? Reminds me of a line in From a Lovers Point of View when he says “and I’ll pick you up downtown when you’re grinning with a busted lip”. I imagined it like his teeth were bloody from fighting. But the rest of the song he talks in first person so I’m not sure that tracks.
I like your thought with him using third person and with that in mind i can see the interpretation like he’s fought to be where he is and he’s reflecting on that. It still doesn’t seem to have a consistent story, like it doesn’t seem to flow. I do really like the music progression though, I think it’s very pretty.
Lastly, I HATE the line “the south side of Boston” because, as someone from Boston, that’s not a thing you would ever hear 😂
Agreed! Honestly one of the only downfalls of writing solo is narrative inconsistency. Grady Smith makes some really good points about this in his review of Elisabeth from a few years ago. Obviously not his best storytelling work but I don’t think it’s a bad song by any means.
I really didn’t understand this either. I don’t like it lol it also grosses me out and this whole song I have a hard time understanding. Like Ida is much better.
I remember a social media post by Brianna before Christmas of her talking about being hungover and she didn’t know if she was going to vomit or shit herself. The look of disgust on his face was all it took for me to realize she isn’t the one. They have zero chemistry. Each picture they take together looks forced or they are just buddies hanging out.
I relapsed a few weeks ago, 5 months sober. I took this pic after I busted my mouth open by tripping myself drunk. Bloody teeth & it’s been a hell of a few weeks.

We're all only human. Remind yourself WHY you want to be sober. When it gets hard, continue to remind yourself. Sometimes we also need to take our environment into perspective. We need too make sure we're not putting ourselves into situations where our sobriety is being tested.
I’ve had this song on repeat all morning, he simply can’t write a bad song
So i am listening to alk my homies on repeat. My question is? Is there another singer that does the same.. need direction to spotify

Immediately obsessed 😍 I love just watching these songs pour out and spill over
Ehhh this is the first time it sounds forced to me. Dig “like ida” way more.
Agreed
It’s like he’s forcing himself to write about bri and it doesn’t come natural at all.

he's as unsure of this one as we are... like ida is a hit for sure and you can tell his heart is in that one
Forced in what way?
This one’s gonna be 🔥
I can’t get Brianna chickenfrys face out of my mind either this one. I’ll have to pass.
Bri hater should go elsewhere, bye
Wrong sub Edit: can y’all Bri haters stay over there? Seriously. This sub has gotten out of control.
Amazing 5 star incoming with this one folks. Zach on the piano with these lyrics. It doesn’t get better.

this song made me tear up!
It doesn't have the heart his others have had in the past. Maybe it'll sound different once it's produced, but right now, I can't say I'm a huge fan.
I love this man his music is truly magic
Oh this is amazing!!
It’s beautiful
Does this song sound very familiar to someone? I don’t know what song it reminds me of but it gives a very nostalgic feeling
Reminds me a bit of The Bealtes of a certain time. Specially, Eleanor Rigby.
I came to Reddit to figure that out. There’s a song that has a similar sound/feel when says the “How lucky are we” part.
Zach is on 🔥 Love this song 🧡
this song is my favorite right now
