Perchance... I might also be the author- hiiiii :3
may all your favorite fanfic writers never lose their hyperfixation and love for your blorbos so they keep writing fanfics about your blorbos forever
”time, I know we’re outta time, but what if bad thoughts come, and I can’t stop it? Bye.. I don’t wanna say bye. If only I could keep you in my pocket.. to give me some diagnosis of why I’m so hollow, please give instructions I promise I’ll follow, I tripped on my ankle and fractured my elbow but that doesn’t that mean that the tour’s gonna sell though? I try to explain the good faith has been wasted but after an hour it sounds like complaining—wait don’t go away, can I lie here forever? You say that I’m better, why don’t I feel better? The universe works in mysterious ways but I’m starting to think it ain’t working for me… Doctor, should I be good? Should I be good this year?”
Jack was real as fuck for that verse tho
A little too real. It hurts my lungs.
I am the only person I know capable of doing all 36 seconds in one breath.
”this one’s an oldie but a goodie! sing along if you know it!”
oh, jack met. you underestimate me. you underestimate the autistic hyperfixation i had on your music at 11. you could sing any song you’ve ever written and i would know it front to back word for word. i promise i know wow im not crazy. i promise everyone else here does too.
Say what you want about AJR, about how their music is horrible or whatever, but no other music artist I’ve listened to has perfectly encapsulated the feeling of “I’m getting older, and I’m scared of growing up wrong”, the weariness of “I’m barely getting started in life and I’m already so tired” as many times these guys have.
“Maybe I turned out fine, maybe I’m still turning out?” - Turning Out
“I wish I was me, whoever that is, I could just be and not give a sh*t. Hey I’ll be whatever makes you a fan, ‘cause I don’t know who the hell I am.” - Maybe Man
“I wanna be big like my plans, so why’m I so tiny, and why’m I so mad? It’s inertia. Guess this is just who I am. I’m stuck on this life, and I’m stuck in these pants.” - Inertia
“I’ve gotta go so much bigger so everybody’s proud of me. Welcome to the Neotheater, won’t everybody take their seats? And I’ll be next up forever, ‘cause I don’t know what’s coming next. I know I gotta grow up sometime, but I don’t think I’m ready yet.” - Next Up Forever

These are just my favorite examples.
"They wanted heaven from me, I gave 'em hell, Now they want something bigger, I'm overwhelmed, I think it's time to go now, I think my curtain's falling, Just don't forget about me, When you get out of college, If it's my final album, And if I am forgotten, I hope I made you smile, That's all I ever wanted, Congratulations on your, Bit of success, Welcome to the Neotheater, We can't wait to see, What you do next" - Finale (Can't Wait To See What You Do Next)
I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT FREAKING FINALE OMG THANK YOU
BRO FINALE MAKES ME CRY SOMETIMES
Also because I can and no one can stop me from putting an entire outro here-
"You say I turned out fine, I think I'm still turning out, You say I turned out fine, I think I'm still turning outI hope you stick around, We're gonna figure it out, Who can I turn to now? When I'm still turning out, When I'm still turning out, I'm a little kid, and so are you, Don't you go and grow up before I do, I'm a little kid with so much doubt, Do you want to be there to see how I turn out? I'm a little kid, and so are you, Don't you go and grow up before I do, I'm a little kid with so much doubt, Do you want to be there to see how I turn out? I'm a little kid, and so are you, Don't you go and grow up before I do, I'm a little kid with so much doubt, Do you want to be there to see how I turn out? I'm a little kid, and so are you, Don't you go and grow up before I do, I'm a little kid with so much doubt Do you want to be there to see how I turn out?
'Cause I'm still turning out." - Turning Out
Those lyrics legitimately helped me find out who I am and have been almost a theme song for it ever since I figured out I'm demiboy non-binary :D
What Everyone's Thinking to What No One's Thinking
OK, it's been a few hours, I've thought a lot, I think I can word everything a bit clearer now, here's all my thoughts based around the announcement of the new EP! I am sure I am reading wayyyyy too much into some of these things, but it's my favorite thing to do! (This ended up so, so long despite my editing, I am so sorry. TLDR, I think that What No One's Thinking is covering the messier thoughts that people have that might reflect badly on them compared to the ones in What Everybody's Thinking, which has a more positive tone. AJR continue to peel back layers and get more raw and real with us, I hope they're doing alright)
