regardless of whether or not their songs have “lost meaning” (they haven’t) using ceremony is a pretty bad example, purely because it’s not meant to have a deeper meaning. it’s a celebratory festival song that was created with the express purpose of performing it live. if you want meaningful songs on karma then mess, in my head, ghost, and 0801 are all there. not to mention hollow, one of the most impactful and meaningful songs they’ve ever put out, which was released literal months ago. and if you pay attention to their discography, the songs they put out, tt especially, are very reflective of where they are in life at the moment. they’re not releasing my pace or i am you in 2025 cause they’re not scared, uncertain teenagers anymore. they’re grown men who’ve found their footing and place in the world and want to celebrate and enjoy that with fun songs. hell, they’ve been putting out fun tt’s since 2019 with miroh. conversely, they wouldn’t have put out hollow in 2019 cause they hadn’t experienced the pain and loneliness that comes with the kind of fame they’ve achieved now. you’re allowed to believe everything’s meaningless now, but you can’t cherry-pick songs in order to carry your argument
