#the use of religious imagery???????? the entire concept????? the way it recontextualizes all of speak now?????? #song was made for me #also 'god rest my soul i miss who i used to be the tomb won't close stained glass windows in my mind i regret you all the time' never fails #to make me physically let out a squeak whenever i hear it #side note while im here shout out to those who were fighting for their lives in the presale line #ANYWAYS #i also just think the idea behind it is a lot more interesting #all too well is classic heartbreak and its very well written #but i think like the feeling wcs evokes is a lot more powerful like #JESUS CHRIST yk and also jesus christ is very relevant to the song #ill get to him in a moment #ill get to Him lol #im writing a whole ass analysis in the tags im sorry #like wcs is a trauma dump about what its like to grow up too fast to lose your childhood because of some asshole #long lasting effects of trauma yk #anyways jesus. #religious experiences tie into the innocence and childhood #'you're a crisis of my faith' like innocence as a child and faith in god #im deep enough into the tags im p sure no one will see this (also wcs finished while i was writing that last one) #yeah ive been there before lol #like bad experience that made me lose whatever faith i had left in a god #maybe its also bc i relate to the song #like i have had to grow up WAY too quickly #not in the same way as the song but just generally some experiences thats just #i CANT let it go and i DO fight with people in my sleep and the wound will not stop opening and i do in fact regret it all the time #anyways thanks for listening to my analysis i genuinely love this song #plus the parallels to bigger than the whole sky like 'did some force take you because i didn't pray' i have had that exact thought before #like 'oh i should've prayed more then maybe this wouldn't have happened' #gonna quickly summarize my thoughts on this i dont wanna talk more #like wcs is if you/ i DIDNT
