okay i want to analyze this because i feel like this is Incredibly important for whatever fob8 is gonna be and should be like. Talked About.
so we all have been very intensely focusing on the "give up what you love before it does you in", and how devastating that is, how it feels like it could be pete/fobs way of saying They're giving up something they love, that they're going back on saying "you are what you love not who loves you", or similar thoughts along those lines, and that was my instinct at first too. but in thinking about it more, in conjunction with what is said immediately before it, i don't think this is at all as depressing or soul shattering as we think. the important part here is the word Faded. That phrase in quotes, which is so depressing and heart-aching, is inscribed so firmly, like it were inscribed in stone, and yet is Faded by the rain. Faded, forgotten, not kept up with, not cared about. That phrase might be there, but it isn't honored. Connections have already been made between that phrase and the lyric from srar, as if they're opposing statements. But with the context added of the words before the phrase, it seems those two are saying more of the same thing that opposing things. Pete/fob Might be told to put down what they love, but they Are what they love. they Are their music, they Are fall out boy, they can't put down what they love because it's who they are. they refuse to listen to the inscription, and would rather it be washed away by rain.
to analyze the rest of it with that most important piece out of the way, i have less concrete thoughts on the rest but still some thoughts: "the kind of pain you feel to get good in the end" reminds me of "the only way out is through" and "in the end i'd do it all again". it's pain you feel that is worth it, that you push through to see the other side and thrive on the other side.
"i saw you in a bright clear field" and "Hurricane heat in my head" i have much less to say about without a lot of context surrounding them, though i will say the 'hurricane heat' is the pain we previously discussed, with 'i saw you in a bright clear field' is making me think of field of dreams, of fate too.
summary; if this written piece is meant to show themes of fob8, and or are lyrics to fob8 songs, it so far seems to be shaping up to be an album full of hope. and love. it seems to be saying, in a way, "look at what we went through to get to here". it does not appear it's going to be a very depressing album itself, but instead reflecting back on those low moments with the knowledge that it was all worth it for the life they made from the rubble.

You completely missed the point of that post. Ppl noticed a weird trend of the mean girls/bullies they knew in high school going in to nursing & were trying to figure out why they would go in to a field where they have to take care of others. I didn't notice this till it was pointed out to me by my Nurse friend + my friend who is a CNA in pre-med. Saying "there's a concerning trend of toxic women gravitating towards nursing" is not saying "nurses are toxic!" It's not about nurses. It IS a thing.
YESSSSS ive been waiting So Patiently for some brave anon to come properly Champion the We Hate Women cause directly, THANK YOU i appreciate your UNWAVERING bravery in properly schooling me about how Mean Girls are the exact equivalent of murderers and child rapists. i literally never would have seen it. the MEAN GIRLS FRM HS BECOME NURSES joke has always been a thing and i know this and see this but AS U HAVE PROPBABLY SEEN bc i admit it on a near constant basis i am Kind Of Stupid so like i never once made the connect btwn women who are just huge total cunts VS very specifically men who rape kids and murder ppl which honestly was PEAK DUMBASS OBLIVIOUS on my part bc absolutely i shouldve seen past the named issue of Male Power Exploitation used specifically to commit Heinous Crimes and seen that what really needed to be talked about was Toxic Women, which is always unquestionably the most pressing issue at ANY given moment and im soooo so So Sincerely Sorry that i missed that. it was probably my toxic dfab nature taking control of my rotten little estro brain and i cant BELIEVE i forgot to check myself
THANK U BABE my reading comprehension is TRASH GARBO and i appreciate being humbled. i also do rly appreciate not letting me slip for not explicitly disclaiming in detail what i was actually upset about (Unreasonably weve established) bc boiling it down to such a 1d take REALLY showed my dumb little ass!!! im So Bad at time management so i did make the dipstick idiot choice to attempt economizing words so i could eat in the 15min i had before going back to do my job+tech job for 6 heavy workload pts and it did us both SUCH a disservice bc u had to come all this way and give me those words so i could learn better when i Should Have Known. im sad you felt like you had to anon i tho wish youd embraced your bravery enough to show your face, more than anyone you Deserve the recognition
