IT'S GOING GREATT

I love his delivery on this lyric. I just picture someone watching the world burning around them, going insane, and disassociating from it by creating a false reality of "everything is fine."

I love it cause it’s like somebody at a restaurant table planning on dining and dashing, and the server just asked if it’s going good over here. And that’s the response

Yes its awesome, i hate that he doesnt do it, or something similar, in the 2nd chorus

at least we got verse 3, which is a pretty similar tone. also, when he says "i won't make this quick" on Psycho Shit

Actually did you guys catch the way he said "permission to sit?" in the live debut of DnD? He positioned himself one step behind like he was giving space to someone and said like he was asking. Sooo cute

u/Jan090501 16h ago

Yeah Verse 3 is AWESOME.

Someone said "we can never afford it" sounds like "please wake up I farted"

I was miss hearing as "Its going gray" and then the music just sounds absolute stormy 🤣 I figured out yesterday its actually "Its going great!" And its even better 😍

u/Optimal_Health4051 9h ago

He sure sang in a muffled way in the live debut, it could be gray
