okay to me this album really feels like a parting gift to us - the clique injokes at the beginning of center mass, the lyric callbacks to vessel, intentions being truce reversed, downstairs being the korea demo, using the woo from their mtv unplugged set, in the letter from the fpe vinyl they wrote, “here is your album”, in downstairs when tyler says “You can have all I've made and all I've ever known/You can have both my lungs If you ask me so”
its like theyre saying even though theyre not going to be touring again for awhile, theyre not going to forget about us, and theyre giving us this little gift so we dont forget that.
