amazing addition. would also like to nominate "head first heavy baby cellar dive"

I love when the front bottom songs just start with just like obvious statements like "sometimes I cry when I get sad" or "she feels emotion"

because you know, notorious hip hop artist brian sella. who is known for his hip hop music.

i personally like the more absurd lyrics, like "the tree felt bad, i can tell by the way that it felt," which is just dropped as if it's not insane, or "my head has thoughts," which is then immediately disregarded as insane

The way I listened to peach when I first got into tfb vs how i listen to it now is so different and sums up exactly how my feelings about liking this band have changed. Back then I always thought about the nightmare of an online friendship I had just gotten out of whenever I listened to the song cause what I heard was a one sided obsession, but now ever since I got my best friend into tfb and it's become Our Thing, my entire interpretation of it has changed. Cause fuck man he IS the reason I'm smiling when there is nothing to smile about. The feeling I used to get from listening to any song by these guys was a sense of dread from being stuck with someone who's terrible to me but now it reminds me of the most wonderful person in my life and I don't think any song describes that better than peach

i promise you that i didn't wait this long to respond to this because i forgot. i have been having my own battle with peach for a while, ever since the breakup, and i wasn't ready to discuss my take quite yet.

trigger warning for abuse and food insecurity.

peach was a song that i had a very personal connection to with my ex. the first tfb show i ever went to, we stood there in the venue, and me, not knowing the lyrics or what was coming, was completely oblivious. i was very new to the fandom. my ex turned around and sung "you are the reason i'm smiling when there is nothing to smile about" to me, staring me in the eyes with all the love in the world. it changed something for me.

that christmas, i got him a custom made hand-bound leather photo album with those lyrics engraved into the leather, and filled it with photos of our adventures together. i left space open to fill with our future.

my ex and i were together during what i would argue was the roughest period of my life to date. we were in college for part of it, he was living in my apartment, then i was evicted, and we moved out and dropped out of school together. we were so horribly poor. i was working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week to support us, and i was eating one meal every 3 days to conserve food. (he was not working at the time.)

my ex also emotionally and physically abused me. i believe if it weren't for my being isolated from everyone else at the time, i probably would have had the sense to leave a lot earlier. because truly, there was nothing to smile about. i was miserable. everything was bad. so i smiled about him. even though i hated him so much for so long, and he treated me like shit, i smiled about him. he was all i had. none of our friends lived within an hour of us, and i worked nights, so i spent a lot of my time alone. during the few good times we had, i would let that fuel me. that song was our song.

my love for talon as a whole is not a secret. i have been trying to learn how to let that pain go, because i don't want it to taint an album that i enjoy listening to so much on loop. i have the same problem with everything i own, because he loved that song so much, which is incredibly ironic for a guy who absolutely refused to even let me use my wheelchair, let alone push it. i'm still filled with a sense of rage when listening to all of rose, his url was based on it, some of his favorite songs were on it, we went to the 10 year anniversary tour together. i'm still healing from all that. i hate that my favorite album and ep are adulterated by his influence.

so yeah. i have some animosity towards peach and those lyrics in particular that i am doing my best to cope with.

i wanna see the explanation!!! i'm genuinely interested

say "songs by the front bottoms largely don't make sense so you can derive your own meaning" and no one bats an eye

but say "camouflage is about a lesbian eating pussy for the first time"

and society

[thefrontbottomsmademedoit]

PLEASE elaborate i need to hear your explanation

BATMAN BY THE FROMT BOTTOMS IS A QUEER STORY. ITS SUCH AN IMPORTANT SONG TO ME AND JUST SUMS UP LOVING SOMEONE WHO IS CLOSETED

[thefrontbottomsmademedoit]

Tie dye dragon:

Stuck between who I am and who I’m supposed to be

TRANSGENDER! AUTISTIC! BURNT OUT GIFTED KID!

I’m just a tie dye dragon

Tie dye: covering up your natural colours/who you are

Dragon: being perceived as scary/evil and trying to pretty yourself up so you aren’t a threat. Being divine and holy.

have a good day I don’t know what this is

i like your thinking a lot. i fuck with this interpretation heavy. i know the song is about an actual dragon but this is cooler

sorry i have more tfb stuff to talk about

a little fun fact about talon of the hawk is brian got the name idea from watching twin peaks because theres a cop named hawk and personally i love this cuz i love twin peaks

NEVER apologize for teaching me lore about the best album ever

[thefrontbottomsmademedoit]

hii i saw ur post about favorite tfb lyrics so i thought id share mine :p

basically the entirety of joanie i do not play about joanie

the new version of i think your nose is bleeding doesnt have this anymore but brian used to say “because im a bitch and dont know how to say no”

not a lyric but i love yelling “im breaking up with you done bye!” at concerts

also at concerts i love listening to the couples sing the intro to peach then die down as they hear the rest of the lyrics its so funny to me

i have so many of these

PLEASE go into detail about joanie. i love joanie. for so long needy when i'm needy was 'that ep with joanie and the other one' to me. (obviously not anymore)

★

i fully agree with everyone who has ever talked about the "i'm a bitch and don't know how to say no" line because it never should have been changed. it resonates so deeply with me and i know it does with so many other people too, and 'it's better than being alone' changes the meaning entirely and does not hit the same. the whole point of the song is that he doesn't want to love her, why would you remove that crucial little tidbit? it's the foundation of why he puts up with her anyway, even if he doesn't want to. changing the line changed the meaning from 'i do it because i feel like i can't decide for myself to 'i do it because it's whatever, who cares.' it pisses me off. ALSO, you are now rhyming 'alone' with 'alone.' are you fucking kidding me??

fun fact actually, on youtube music, my streaming app of choice, the old line is the one listed in the lyrics, despite the audio having the correct line.

★

i am not one to ever speak kindly of my ex, but i will say that the first tfb show he took me to, i wasn't very familiar with the band yet. i didn't know what song was playing or what lyrics were coming yet in the way that i do now. (hell, i can predict what song is coming purely by the transitions.) when peach started playing, he turned around and looked me dead in the eyes and sang it to me. i think my heart exploded in that moment. it was probably the sweetest thing he had ever done, because i had no idea it was coming.

please continue sending your thoughts on lyrics i love talking about them

[thefrontbottomsmademedoit]

Speaking of interpreting lyrics I have another one I really like

We know that hair is commonly used as a metaphor for self expression as well as change. I like to think that letting it grow stands for continuing on his current path to see where it leads him whereas cutting it short stands for starting over. One is a slow process that requires patience whereas the other is a quick and easy change. He's torn between keeping up what he's been doing and giving up on it. The first option might take a long time and have some awkward phases whereas the second one might seem like a good idea at first but could potentially end with the regret of throwing his progress out the window. Now as for dying it yellow, this would be making a choice to do something new and bold that sounds exciting but he's unsure of himself and feels like he only likes it in theory and wouldn't be satisfied with it beyond the initial thrill, and it would be a nuisance in the long run once the novelty wears off. Not having the bone structure or wardrobe to support that type of look refers to the additional factors that you would require for this change in his life to actually work, and as it is he feels like he's not up for it

now THIS is some good fucking food. i love how much brian alludes to the queer experience because we all know full well the gays are known to change their hair completely in a crisis. it feels like he's speaking to us directly. the call is coming from inside the house.
