      I know. This is giving me creepy antihero morality vibes. I am thinking of writing something along these lines (after I finish my current project). I've got a playlist of songs titled "Book Ideas" because some songs just give such unique ideas and feelings.

      @@hevan_ev Honestly I should have known as soon as he said "I stare at my reflection, I don't know who I am" but I took it as guilt from what he had done changing him, or the act of killing someone changed him to be unrecognisable. I thought the second one was the case through the whole song so I completely missed the signs X'D

    Sadly, this song reminds me of my relationship with my mom and sister. I've always been the black sheep, the one who's seen as the odd man out, and the one who is always blamed then tossed to the side when things get rough. If not for my nieces and nephews I would have cut them off years ago. Just happy to see that my eldest niece is at the age where she sees how I'm treated and is on my side.

    After all this years I've finaly realise. What if the song isn't about him killing people for a girl, This a song about him killing himself metaforicly, changing himself for what she wanted him to be. I know it is literally in the lyrics but I didn't realise this and I know that a lot of people don't know. Because we all used to hear it back then but a lot of us don't hear the lyrics as what he actually says.

    We all know that Alec was referring to himself but what I love about the sentence "She doesn't recognize" Is that he changed so much for her and essentially "Killed the old him" To the point where she doesn't recognize him and that sentence truly conveys twisted beauty.

  • @wallflower_tium
    @wallflower_tium 6 років тому +1458

    _Actually_ Alec let many hints before the twist :
    *I'll be a better man* He's not enough for her so he's going to get rid of his true self to be "better"
    *I stare at my reflexion, I don't know who I am* He's not himself anymore, he became her creation, the addition of her desires, she took so much space inside of him that there is nothing left for himself, he has disapeared completly and he doesn't control anything anymore, he's not who he used to be and he is lost bc he let her redrawn him completely
    So clearly he doesn't know who he is now, who he became (for her)
    *I learned my lesson* He probably understood the hard way that he's not enough for her, so he "learned his lesson" and changed himself to be loved by her
    *Wearing my disguise* to escape to the police, he doesnt even have to hide as he's not himself anymore. If he cant recognize himself in the mirror, who would ?
    *I tell her that its me but she doesnt recognize* Indeed he is not himself anymore so why say "its me" if its not true anymore ? ( *No I wouldn't tell you lies* well you just did T_T) She cant recognize him for the same reason he could recognize himself : hes no more who he was
    *I did it all for her so I felt nothing at all* either he is empty cause hes not himself anymore, he became noone, or he is so blind by his love for her that hes not even feel sad for himself, or bad for litteraly got rid of who he was
    *I'm sorry that I did this* He understand that it wasn't worth it, and that he should be loved for who he is and nothing more. So he's regretting doing it all but its too late ( *cause there's just no turning back* )
    This song is both a so-much-well-written warning and a lovely and essential advise : _don't change yourselves for someone else_ and _be who you are and love yourself_
    Thats how I understood this masterpiece ❤❤❤
    Edit : @Maxwell Steinbruckner added that there is also a play on words when he says, "My face is on the news." With the idea of killing yourself a common way is through hanging and, you get hanged with a noose. "My face is on the (noose)." Therefore he hung his old self.

    When I first heard this song I thought it was about murdering someone for the person you love, or murdering someone just to get the person you love. but after understanding the lyrics, "you have to undestand that, the one I killed is me" (2:11) is just heartbreaking :( imagine loving someone very hard that you are willing to change yourself just for them to love you back. That's just sad.. people can love, but please don't lose yourself on the way.. know that there's always someone out there that will love you for who you are.

    So I felt nothing at all
    I don't know what she'll say
    So I'll ask her when she calls
    Would you love me more
    (Would you love me more)
    If I killed someone for you?
    Would you hold my hand?
    (Would you hold my hand?)
    They're the same ones that I used
    When I killed someone for you
    Would you turn me in
    (Would you turn me in)
    When they say I'm on the loose?
    Would you hide me when
    (Would you hide me when)
    My face is on the news?
    'Cause I killed someone for you
    I hear the sirens coming
    I see the flashing lights
    I'm driving through the suburbs
    Wearing my disguise
    I show up at her doorstep
    To look her in the eyes
    I tell her that it's me
    But she doesn't recognise
    Can't you see I'm running?
    Said I need a place to hide
    I've gotta ask you something
    Could you please let me inside?
    Just let me explain
    No, I wouldn't tell you lies
    I know you'll understand
    If you let me stay the night
    Would you love me more
    (Would you love me more)
    If I killed someone for you?
    Would you hold my hand?
    (Would you hold my hand?)
    They're the same ones that I used
    When I killed someone for you
    Would you turn me in
    (Would you turn me in)
    When they say I'm on the loose?
    Would you hide me when
    (Would you hide me when)
    My face is on the news?
    'Cause I killed someone for you
    You have to understand that
    The one I killed is me
    Changing what I was
    For what you wanted me to be
    I followed your direction
    Did everything you asked
    I hope that makes you happy
    'Cause there's just no turning back
    Would you love me more
    (Would you love me more)
    If I killed someone for you?
    Would you hold my hand?
    (Would you hold my hand?)
    They're the same ones that I used

    My interpretation is that he has a girlfriend that judges him and shuts him out after she finds out he killed his inside self but he did it bc he loved her he wanted to protect her but she slowly starts back trusting him. And he just wants to know if she'd love him the same stick by him and support him... But she's not buying it or understanding and he's begging bc love drives us crazy sometimes

      I'm pretty sure if my gf/wife showed up at my door with bloody hands wearing a disguise I'd definitely still know it was her.
      Alec says, "...I tell her that it's me, but she doesn't recognize." This could mean both physically she couldn't tell it was him, and metaphorically like she doesn't really know him even though he's madly obsessed with her.
      Either way this song has a nice bob ya head type of flow mixed with his vocals which are 🔥. I also like how it's up for different interpretations - the key to any form of beautiful art.

    I doubt anyone will believe me. But I have been listening to Alec for a couple years now. And I am so unbelievably proud of him. I had stumbled across him around 7th or 6th grade, and now I'm 9th.
    I used to listen to nightcore, paper crown, our love is like a burning garden, water fountain, and I built a friend were my favorite songs. And I hadn't known they were all by him until I searched him up.
    I dont listen to nightcore anymore, cause its actually really bad. But that's beside the point. He is one of the few artist I actually cared about personally. I never really cared to search for other songs from bands or cared to learn there names. Glass animals, blackbear and alec have been my favorite artist for a little while now. And I am proud to say they are the only people who I have actually cared to learn more and about and memorize their songs.
    Congratulations Alec I hope you come to utah with in the next couple years so I can finally see you ♡

    I feel like this song is connected to "I I built a friend". After he met the girl at his graduation, his "friend" died, and he changed himself for the girl, killing himself in the process. He was already dying inside over his friend dying, and he killed the rest of himself off, changing himself and his identity with it.
