I quite like that, although it is not as immediately sticky as Emergence. Good though.

@gavin57 it's super catchy in a less proggy way, but a more poppy way. It has a reggaeton vibe. I like it. Not as much as Emergence, but I like it a lot.

I think this song is important because it's not Vessel speaking in the lyrics. It's not wrapped in metaphor. It's the man behind the mask talking directly to the shitty toxic fans.

Yeah, just been reading the excerpt on Last.fm now.

It is an interesting to think about how things might have turned out for them if they hadn't worn the masks and kept their identities private. Unfortunately, some people, I hesitate to call them fans, can't leave well enough alone.

@gavin57 you should see the social media comments. People are obsessed. They make this band their entire personality and then they get upset when they don't get what they want.

It's about the music! That's why the band hides their identities. They don't want it to be about them. The lore and puzzles are supposed to be fun, but as with everything else, people just have to ruin it.

The song is so good. The lyrics are heartbreaking. Special stuff.

@shellsharks yeah and it's not the sad metaphors that he usually writes, it's the struggle he's currently facing being in this band that's blowing up while he's trying to retain his anonymity. It's like a direct letter to toxic fans.
in reply to Jcrabapple

Exactly. Incredibly genuine. He understands that most people see him as fortunate to be who he is and where he is, but there's a very real struggle there that some people just can't seem to grasp 😭

@shellsharks Exactly! I think it might be the first time we've heard from the man behind the mask rather than Vessel the character.
