There needs to be a music festival dedicated to bedroom pop.

[salty]

People always talk about dark red but can we just for once appreciate ryd

[cuclixts]

He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

Dark Red feels like a song about a person in a toxic relationship. This person knows something is wrong and that they'll likely get hurt because of it, but their partner manipulates and gaslights them to the point they become dependent on the partner. The song evokes such feelings of unease, doubt, and entrancing romance that it's terrifying to come to the realization that this isn't uncommon. Many people are in relationships like this.

Maybe I'm just pointing out the obvious or digging too deep. At first I thought it was a song about anxiety in relationships, but it's cool developing my own interpretation of the meaning by watching the MV for the first time.

If your reading this, I just want to say that you have an amazing taste in music

[lebothekid]

This song makes me want to tell my crush we’re just friends.
