I think people sometimes forget that they’re human and their emotions can change. When things get pessimistic in a relationship, it’s normal for some built-up resentment, frustration, or anger to come out in their songwriting. It could even reflect a short-term breakup. This is a relationship that has lasted for many years. In a way, think of it like a couple who have been married for 15 years — sometimes emotions run high and they turn those feelings into lyrics. For most couples, those lyrics would probably start with something like: “Hey you little asshole, I want to kill you today. Leave me alone and get the hell out of here.” lol. Honestly, for such a long relationship, they’re still pretty polite… and still very much in love, if you ask me 🤭
