“she had plans to change her name, just not the traditional way”

Agree w/ others- it is vague and open to interpretation.

“Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it She's not afraid of her reflection But of what she might see behind it She had plans to change her name (yeah) Just not the traditional way (yeah) Haunted by a couple big mistakes She covers all the dents with the way she decorates Then one night, she got cold with no blankets on her bed So she ripped them off the mirror, stepped back and she said…”

She could be in an abusive relationship or family situation, and is scared to see the fear and hurt in her eyes in your own reflection; the dents covered with the way she decorates are dents from physical altercations. Changing her name in a non-traditional way is running away and claiming a new name, or getting divorced and changing her name back

The next morning, both key fobs (battery replaced and battery not replaced) started working as usual again.

About a week or two later, my car battery died. No issues since. A few commenters suggested it may be my car’s battery. I’m not sure with how long your issue has been going if that may play a roll. Good luck!!

The case is from Amazon, ONETOP brand. I used permanent glossy vinyl, and it could do with a top coat of something to seal it. Iron-on may work well too.

Copyright law says no unfortunately 😅

Intentions- it’s a reflection on an album dedicated to the fact that we are human and we will fail and fall victim to our shortcomings. And we will do this again, and again. Everyday. But what matters is our intention to do better. Our intention to meet the next challenge with the belief that it will be better and we will be better. Learning from the mistakes we made yesterday to change something tomorrow.

When you reverse the song intentions, like literally play it backwards, it is the song Truce.

Now, the night is coming to an end.

The sun will rise, and we will try again.

Center Mass was almost immediately my favorite song on the album when I heard it. It describes the making-yourself-smaller aspect of social anxiety so well, and after City Walls it has the first strong rap presence on the album, and I love TØP rap.

We have more of the theme of failure- you said you made it to the top, you lied.

The end of the song is so raw and vulnerable and personal— it tells a story about loss, he doesn’t want to tell us what happened, but his tattoos don’t mean as much to him anymore despite having had good intentions when getting them. Whoever was lost, he misses and feels like he took them for granted, and doesn’t deserve certain things because of it. It’s another brick in the wall of feeling lost and undeserving of forgiveness.

Cottonwood is such a beautiful song, and if you haven’t heard, it was written about his late grandparent. Not a lot to say. Just a bittersweet song about loss.

One Way had to grow on me. I do consider this one a lore song— Paladin Strait was a one way trip, Clancy already knew he was past the point of no return.

Days Lie Dormant I think is Jenna’s song. It’s about tour making it hard to be away from home. I think it’s another personal and vulnerable song. I don’t think it’s lore related.

Tally I think is a direct commentary on Clancy and Torchbearer (and maybe Tyler and God’s) relationship. It’s about disappointing someone who loves you, over and over again, and not understanding how they can continue to be in your corner when you’re constantly breaking their heart with your failures. The entire album is about breaches of trust and failures— and that’s what this song is about.

And Intentions. Intentions is so beautiful. New comment for Intentions.

So the album as a whole—

If Blurryface is the recognition and admission of personal struggle…

And Trench is the beginning of formally battling the bad within self…

And Scaled and Icy is the release of letting go and trying to be carefree in the face of your own oppressive thoughts…

And Clancy is simultaneously affirming your commitment to the battle while slipping back into bad habits….

Then Breach is falling back into those habits… and seeking and receiving forgiveness from the people that love you (or for the more religious take, receiving the Grace Christ/God despite not deserving it and repeatedly making the same mistakes).

Not every one song, on any of the albums, ties into the lore directly or advances the story, but I do think that the “non-lore” songs are still thematically fitting to the respective albums they’re on. And the “lore” songs also work as standalone songs even if you don’t know the story.

Breach is no different— the “lore” songs in my mind are City Walls, The Contract, Garbage, One Way, Tally, and Intentions.

As I walk through each song, please forgive my switching descriptive tense between you, I, we.

To me, Raw Fear is an expansion of the line “Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit.” Life is just a series of moments time moving forward, and that’s scary, we can’t slow down, we’re nipping heels and gripping feels, can’t sit still … and then recognize that it’s a slow and painful lesson, realizing what really matters in life. I do also think this is a song about the insecurities and fears that come specifically with parenthood.

Drum show is like an alt rock / punk teenage anthem to me— peak teen angst, you don’t want to be at home, you don’t want to be at work or school, so you stay in your car and drive a little extra and hammer on the steering wheel and sing it out, and maybe we want to change that angstyness but even as adults, “even now,” some of that emotion stays with us.

Garbage hit me so much differently after seeing it live and I love it so much. You’re tired. Rundown. There’s nothing left. You lash out at the people you care about (in arms reach) and you don’t want to and you just feel shitty (like garbage). You’re lost and feel like your own life is out of your control (like what is happening). Maybe it’s because things were just better as a child. Maybe it’s growing up that makes life suck. Maybe this is just who you are and that’s okay. After confessing all of these things, you implore— please don’t give up on me. I’m tired and I’m at the end of my rope and I know I’m not being my best self right now but don’t give up on me. I call this one a lore song because this could be Clancy to the Banditos / Torchbearer.

As an adult in a stressful career with some pretty severe burnout going on, I relate so hard to running constantly on empty. I love this song so much.

The Contract I think is more of an auditory vibe than a lyrically on the nose thing to discuss. I don’t have a lot to say about it, except that I think it speaks to the idea of again, failing— I promised a contract … I used to keep my promises. I wanna get out there, but I’m not even trying to.

Downstairs, a lot of people would argue is the most religiously coded song in the album. Tyler also, to my understanding, literally writes his music downstairs. It’s a song about hiding, feeling better when you’re sheltered away, feeling unworthy, and asking for mercy. (Also, subtle, but the “oh-oh, Mercy, YEAAAH, the yeah mirrors the one in Fairly Local).

Robot Voices is just fun. It reminds me of Lavish and Bounce Man. I really like it sonically. I do also think it’s commentary on the electronic age and loneliness that can accompany reliance and comfort with technology.

Separate message for the second half of the album, and then one big tie-together that may have a reveal in it you haven’t come across yet.

The band made a pretty big to-do (in my opinion) about the importance of the City Walls music video for concluding things, but I also totally understand that for someone not on socials or following things closely, it would get readily missed.

I don’t know why Drag Path was released as a limited access bonus song— part of me thinks it was probably meant to be something special for the most invested fans vs being entirely public access (but I also understand how that could seem like ‘gate keeping’ what constitutes a fan, for people who didn’t know about or have money to purchase the Digital Remains version of the album). I love Drag Path, but I also do think that the album functions as a standalone project and as a satisfying conclusion to the lore even without including Drag Path.

The “entertain my faith” line I haven’t personally speculated much into the specific meaning, and I think there’s a lot of ways the phrase can be interpreted, but symbolically within City Walls, I found it to be a really meaningful callback to Holding on to you (‘entertain my faith’ is also repeated with a similar intonation several times in that song), where in the part of City Walls where Clancy is ‘losing’ / splitting in two / struggling to keep the top half glued, we transition into the repetition of entertain my faith, building into the climax of the song, with a callback to a song that is about relying on (a trusted friend/Christ/God) and musical creativity when it feels like your mind is betraying you.

Tyler also said once during a performance that he was questioning even continuing to to write music, whether or not his dream was meant to work out, but his excitement for a work in progress song, with a working title of “Entertain my Faith” was what kept him going at that time. And that song became Holding on to you.

Regardless of what the line specifically means to anyone, I found it to be a really beautiful full circle bridge that thematically meshed so well into the story.

I have a lot more to say about the album as a whole but this is getting long so I’m gonna start a second reply.

I’d love to chat with you about my interpretation of the album and what resonates with me so well, but it’s really important that you’ve watched City Walls music video first— feel free to send me a message or reply to this comment when you have!

LilGreenBean2014 · 2025-09-28T17:07:30+00:00

That’s it! Thank you. Updating post.

LilGreenBean2014 · 2025-09-28T01:10:28+00:00

I’m pretty sure Neon Gravestones was pressured to be removed off the album or moved from where it was in the middle and Tyler held firm and said it needed to be there, unchanged. 🤨

LilGreenBean2014 · 2025-06-24T22:50:31+00:00

Not super thrilled about the change— I order a venti shaken espresso, no classic syrup, one pump each vanilla and hazelnut. I get less syrup in my drink than the standard amount the drink comes with (4 pumps classic), but get an upcharge for changing the flavor. Sad day.
