your dynamic with 💞:

Chicago Is So Two Years Ago by Fall Out Boy

My heart is on my sleeve, wear it like a bruise or black eye My badge, my witness Means that I believed Every single lie you said

this song is about a relationship that ended, but can be interpreted otherwise. the singer is extremely angry at a perceived lie or betrayal. the other person is still close to the singer, or is trying to be, even after betraying them in some way, spreading rumors or selling them out to someone else or any number of other things. the singer cant get past something they did before, and, for better or for worse, refuses to apologize themselves.

your dynamic with 🫟:

Final Girl by Graveyardguy and Slayyyter

You'll learn right now, I don't play nice And if you hurt me once, I'll kill you twice

Chapel of Blood by Murderdolls

Take my hand, and you will Never see the daylight again ... Inside you'll see the horrors of reality

tw for blood and bodily harm in the rest of the lyrics of this song. at its heart, this is a very silly, over-the-top metal song about horror and terrible things. at best, this is taking the morbid and sort of having fun with it. the chorus almost reads like a cheer. at worst, the content of the lyrics taken more literally, something happened or you were led somewhere that changed your worldview entirely, where most of your hope or optimism was stripped away; or, maybe you were the one leading someone else into that position.

The Contract by Twenty One Pilots

I check the doors, check the windows and pull the blinds I check the clock, wondering what he'll pull this time I have a feeling that necromancer's outside And I'm just tryin' to stay quiet

this song is about paranoia and helplessness. it talks about hallucinations, checking that doors are locked, losing sleep and pacing. specifically, all of this stress and anxiety is the result of being afraid of someone, although that could be a metaphorical "someone" too. but it sounds like someone or something caused you a lot of stress, and at the end of the song, the singer tries to compromise with the source of his stress, trying to strike a deal with them.

Habits (Stay High) rock cover by Our Last Night

You're gone and I gotta stay High all the time To keep you off my mind

tw for suggestive lyrics in the rest of this song. this song is full of unhealthy coping mechanisms trying to deal with the loss of someone. someone important is gone, for one reason or another, and the singer has to stay constantly busy, constantly dazed and focused on something else. if they don't, they'll just start overthinking about the person who's not in their life anymore, and that feels like it has more consequences than being unhealthy does.
