i think if fall out boy made a music video for the kintsugi kid and it was just a montage of band moments and highlights from 2013 to 2023 i would vomit blood because it’d hurt so bad. it’d feel like being stabbed in the stomach.
Anyone else thinking about how Pete wrote “confidants, but never friends; were we ever friends?” and “part time soulmate, full time problem” and “all your flaws are aligned with this mood of mine” and “you say please don’t ever change, but you don’t like me the way I am” and “I’m struggling to exist with you and without you” and “call you up and demand you have no fun without me” And “the chemistry is a mess, it seems” and “I got all this love I’ve got to keep to myself” and “if there were any more left of me, I’d give it to you” and “let me, let me trash your love”and “i think I’ve been going through it, and I’ve been putting your name to it” and “awash in your love, falling in and out” and “I never meant for you to fix yourself” and “baby we should have left our love in the gutter where we found it” and “give up what you love before it does you in” and most especially “what is there between us, if not a little annihilation?”. You guys get it right.

Knowing that they were paid to remember the past, he blew out a hot breath and said, 'Burn it all.'"
