My theory: He said this is a character-driven single and each song is playing a different "part" in a story. So this character is essentially saying that this person is cheating or in an abusive relationship and caught up in the past. "Tell myself that I can defeat this" brings off the energy of a one-sided relationship where someone is giving and giving and the other person is just taking and not thanking them. He's upset and stubborn, but negligent of what he's doing. "Call you up to call you out" shows that he fights fire with fire. "Ask me if I've come around" maybe there was a decision or fight resulting in moving out so this song might be the "parting gift" per se before he leaves this relationship. "Stab my back, say you're a martyr" alludes to the opposing person is claiming they're the victim, pinning him down and blaming him for stuff they've actually done. After each accusing line or detail given, he says whatcha think, looking for approval that he knows he won't get (in a sarcastic tone)...so he's beating himself up "kills me everyday" time and time again being put down by this person, creating self-esteem issues, but they don't know if they want to stay for the hell of it or leave.
Good and valid points. Upon re-examination of the lyrics you mentioned, I agree that it's more about an abusive relationship than a relationship with an unfaithful partner (though, that's an abusive relationship in and of itself if not consensual).
It's 8 am and I have been dancing in my bathroom for half an hour listening to this song and I'm going to be late for school but F*CK IT I'M F*KN AROUND
Can we talk about how he also released a clean version called Runnin Around so that people uncomfy with the cursing can still listen to it I just think that’s great
podemos apreciar el tremendo development de este hombre es que- su primer ep era el solo con su guitarra, luego homework otra obra de arte con más producción muchas canciones acústicas Y LUEGO ESTA OBRA MAESTRA, NO NO LA EVOLUCIÓN 🖤
I guess, that son could be in the soundtrack of one movie or series in Netflix, has that felling for me Hahha! By the way, I'm obsessed with this song! :)

:O Genius!
i’m literally in shock right now, darren is genius
tell me if I'm wrong but isn't your pfp that scene with adam-
@@hi-ex2ns that’s a hate crime
why did i read that as school instead of shock
the fact that this is only one song of a whole album (or series of singles) and it’s already a f*kn bop
HOW DOES THIS MAN EXIST ON THE SAME EARTH AS ME
You were both made in God's image. *safe hugs*
I’ve been wondering the same thing😩
THIS SONG HAS GIVEN ME 10 MORE YEARS TO LIVE
YES Darren! Such a bop!
The man. The myth. The legend.
HES A LEGEND HES AN ICON AND HE IS THE MOMENT
Now cmon now
He's harry freakin potter
This needs to be a summer jam. Blasting from every car window, every phone speaker, every tiktok video. Such a vibe!!
And I am back again for the hundredth time!!!!!
It's 8 am and I have been dancing in my bathroom for half an hour listening to this song and I'm going to be late for school but F*CK IT I'M F*KN AROUND
I would do the same
Can we talk about how he also released a clean version called Runnin Around so that people uncomfy with the cursing can still listen to it
I just think that’s great
