    LYRICS:
    I don’t wanna see any of your friends
    I don’t
    I know it’s hard for you to be alone
    But thats where we’re different
    I’d be emotionless all the way
    If I could
    I should take your advice, and find someone new
    So I could have two
    i don’t want to
    fell asleep with your hand on my skull and my face on your lap
    At the bowery hotel missing you
    How did I fall so fast
    Seems like everything I do takes me further from you
    Three boys would work if I wasn’t so tethered to you
    What should I do
    I cant even choose
    Tethered to you
    You pray to god that it would leave
    It won’t leave
    All that you feel for me
    It wont be light,
    It wont feel right
    My hand around your neck that your tortured by
    Spend a lot of time with you I can’t let go
    I know theres some things you can’t speak
    but thoughts of a third make me weak, weak
    I don’t want to
    Fell asleep with your hand on my skull and my face on your lap
    At the Bowery hotel missing you
    How did I fall so fast
    Seems like everything I do takes me further from you
    Three boys would work if I wasn’t so tethered to you
    What should I do
    I can’t even choose
    tethered to you

    This song is so dreamy that you might forget what Omar is singing about. And I've never heard a song with the word tethered in it. But it works, it works i swear it does and once this song gets in your head it stays there and is on repeat. He's torn in his relationship, but still has great love for his partner, which tempts him to think about a third. But as much as he wants to give in to the temptation he finds he can't.

    So much energy. Love is universal and very unique to each individual. Though I respect those who choose to be open, it’s often not reciprocated to those who choose 1. We fall so fast and lose ourselves into their desires. Only to destroy who we are and each other. In the end, it’s broken empty pieces for the next 💔

      @@borebore so Omar said that it was his first time writing something non-monagamous and the intricacies of it and the complicated feelings. I interpret it like that as a queer man in the community it is very much how he describes, open relationship? Threesome? Throuple? It could be all of it I think, just the complicated way we love and feel attraction I feel. It just feels so special since it's spoken/sang about so earnest and raw here and that's rare so it's so important to explore.

    What makes it hurt the most is that the story really tells about your partner suggesting to start an open relationship because they are busy with their life, so in order for you to stop being needy they let you sleep with someone else even if you don't want to do so.

    I remember when my parents listened to Beatles I didn't understand how all people at that old time got crazy and hysterical about them
    I grew old and music became my best friend, best lover, finally feeling myself this passion I saw as a child, there's nothing like music in humans life, you can be touched by the grace everywere in the world, anytime of your life, and now you mister Omar touched me so strongly, so deeply, I thank God being allowed to hear and feel you. 💖🇨🇵
