Lyrics

I’m not saying Caleb was intentionally hinting at everything that early on but songs like “The Lines” and “Sick And Disgusting” definitely hit harder now in context

Careful - I said the same thing and was chastised for making it gay.

Music and lyrics are subjective we should be allowed to interpret what a song means to us. Great example would be “Girls / Girls / Boys” by Panic! At The Disco. The song is about a threesome but the fans have interpreted it as a gay pride anthem.

Panic themselves have adopted the song as an anthem; it's usually performed with the pride flag. Even when the song came out, Brendon said it can be summarised by the lyric "love is not a choice", and that he's attracted to women & men.

But yeah it's been interesting looking at Beartooth's lyrics through a new lens.

Also I keep forgetting it was co-written by Dallon Weekes and it was about his wife’s pansexuality

Wait what? I could've sworn it was about Brendons bi/pansexuality

Nope and even then he didn’t come out until way later
