Hai, this is puppy creampuffs with my second two interpretations of songs off of disjecta Membra.

*NOTE this is just my thoughts on these songs, and everyone sees them differently, so if you don't agree with them, i totally understand

Also, i am a very bad writer, so if this is badly structured, please don't say anything about it*

My interpretation of The Hard Part

This song is about the struggle of being alone after a breakup and how he is finding it hard to be alone and be healthy. In this song he is insisting that they will figure something out and he won't be alone anymore. He is trying to solve the problem and fix his broken relationship by making up false solutions and drinking to avoid the problem. As he continues to hopefully wish that it'll fix itself He is slowly burnt out from all the alcohol and parties and is growing weak but continues to live in denial. As time passes he starts to see how they have changed and moved on but he hasn't. He then starts to realize he should stop denying reality because he has wasted years doing so. Throughout the song he is saying

“this is the Hard Part

We’re gonna make it

You won’t be alone no more

This is the Hard Part

Please don’t worry

We’re gonna figure something out”

indicating that he is still believing he will figure it out and they will be together again, but at the end he says

“This is the Hard Part

I can make it

I won’t be alone no more.”

which shows that he finally accepts that he is alone and has to figure it out himself.

My interpretation of Sound Man/Low Fidelity

Part 1: Sound Man

This is a fun song about a man who helps mix the sound of music and how he loves his job. It is said that this “sound man” takes his work seriously even if his ears hurt from the noise. All this guy wants is to make things sound beautiful, and that's what he is doing.

Part 2: Low Fidelity

So i have two theories about this song

(theory 1)

This is a continuation of the last song. The sound man has gone too far and was going crazy and started mixing all the music loud and with low fidelity which ruined his career. This is him saying he still wants to be in a band but warns them to keep him away from the soundboard or he'll mix it loud and low fidelity.

(theory 2)

This is just will saying he likes low fidelity songs lolz.

If you liked this, i will be releasing more and linking them to each other at some point sown here.
