Basically, I mean, you can kind of understand it if you just listen.
It's a monster with a person in the bed that's interested.
[C] They're not, [Gm] yeah, they're scared of them and [G] it's like, they [D] know that it's bad, but
sometimes like the most dangerous situations [G] are the most attractive to you.
[Eb]
[A] So this is the hook.
[Gm] [D] This is the chorus with the alarm.
And obviously I was feeling some type of way with that.
I wanted to draw [Gm] how the song sounds, so I drew [Cm] that.
[G] I think the second verse was like my favorite lyrically in that whole song.
All the lyrics in the pre-hook are just like things that make you [Abm] sympathetically flinch.
We were in Chicago for Lollapalooza [Ab] and we had two off days.
And in those two days, it was my brother's birthday.
We just were like, [C] let's run out of studio to just see what happens.
We had this like, boom, boom.
It's called a shuffle beat.
It's like, it's not a new rhythm.
It's a very specific groove of it.
The kick is [Ab] on the floor and there's a sort of a [N] secondary kick or a tom that's [B] tapping along.
So just even like the kind of ominousness of that.
Like
[F] immediately after we had been playing it a little bit, I was like, I need to just
hear my name at the beginning.
I need to hear a [Eb] Billy.
And so immediately I thought [Em] of my friend Calvin.
So I literally texted him.
I was like, hey, record yourself saying my name and send it to me.
Thanks.
And [Bb] that's the recording.
Literally two seconds of him silenced and then him saying Billy and that's it.
[Db] And immediately we just put it in the song.
Billy.
This song is weird.
The second, like half of the second verse, it sounds like, [Ab]
and it literally [Db] was me at
the orthodontist [Em] getting my [Db] attachments shaved off my teeth.
This is the recording I took of the [B] dentist, of the drill in my mouth, of the, [N] it's like liquid.
And like they put it in your mouth and you like close your mouth and then it sucks all
the, I don't know.
But anyway, that's what you hear.
And you hear a drill shaving off my teeth and it was not a good feeling and it doesn't
sound like a good feeling either.
So this is what it was.
It's [Bb] the worst song.
[B] [Gm]
Whether it's an [E] artist that you're in love with or a [Eb] person that you're in love with
or an idea that you're in love with and you give all of your love to this person, [G] if you're
giving everything you even have to this person or this idea or this creature or whatever,
you're not thinking about yourself and you're not doing things for yourself.
And I feel like that is dangerous.
And I feel like [Eb] I've noticed that.
And I [E] feel like it makes me the monster under [C] people's bed.
I don't know.
It's a really, it's a hard thing to [G] describe with Bury a Friend and with the album [C] as a whole.
It's just like [G] too much [D] love is almost [N] worse than no love at all.
[G] [Ebm] [G]
[N]
It's a monster with a person in the bed that's interested.
