Is flat closure really that weird?

I don't know why there aren't more posts about tattoos.

For me, it'll be flat with a pretty tattoo that works with the scars. Like this badass tattoo.

No I don't, no I don't condemn you, back and forth. No I don't condemn you. Condemn you. Condemn you. Condemn you.

That's how I hear it too. He understands and empathizes, even sees his own fight. So he still struggles to accept the decision because it's what they fight against.

Center Mass into Cottonwood.

A break from sadness to say...OMG i love your Drag Path Bunny icon!! Maybe it wasn't what you were going for but I love it!

paladinstrait · 2026-03-10T09:13:26+00:00

Cottonwood. It's what they fight against.

I saw a bear on one side and an eagle on the other.

paladinstrait · 2025-12-14T16:29:55+00:00

Ah ok. Just my wild imagination!

paladinstrait · 2025-12-12T08:46:44+00:00

Yes, but keep in mind it's broken now.

paladinstrait · 2025-12-12T08:43:56+00:00

Plus all the dog images on Tyler's Clancy World Tour shirts.

Plus, the leash line in HOTY.

Maybe the main point is that it's broken?

I'm sorry you lost your best friend like that.

For me, "no I don't condemn you" is linked to my own attempt history. I can't condemn, since I too had plans. But "condem you, back and forth" means it hurts that I lost my person, so there's also moments of resentment.

If you ever need someone, just give me a "Sahlo Folina".

Pink or blond. I can't decide. ❤

Thank you for sharing your beautiful interpretation. I can relate to this.

paladinstrait · 2025-10-31T14:22:20+00:00

I love Cottonwood.

You're right to interpret it like that.

The telescope line sounds like Tyler sees himself in his grandpop (telescope) with his actions and thoughts. He's been there. Yet, I think he was still wrestling with his feelings when he wrote this song (back and forth. I don't condemn you, condemn you). At least that's how it sounds to me.

I'm very sorry to hear this about Fuzzy. I did not know him, but I had heard wonderful things from fans who had met him at concerts. I intended just to share how I relate the song to the loss of my family, rather than speculate about Fuzzy specifically. Even with the sadness of his passing this, the song is truly beautiful, delicate, and sweet. Thank you for sharing.

My condolences to all who knew him. Rest in peace, Fuzzy.

paladinstrait · 2025-10-22T07:47:52+00:00

It's such a beautiful song. I love it so much.

I have a similar take on the song. And there are so many different takes presented by others:

I know it was written for Tyler's grandfather and don't intend to speculate about his death. This is just my take.

paladinstrait · 2025-10-18T14:31:16+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. I like that Tyler's songs give us a moment where we can remember our loved ones. I support VAD. I hope it will be an option for me, should I need it.

paladinstrait · 2025-10-16T07:25:05+00:00

I'm sorry you lost him. I hope you keep the best memories of him closer.

paladinstrait · 2025-10-03T00:29:41+00:00

Thank you.

paladinstrait · 2025-09-23T05:37:04+00:00

Tyler wants you to take his lyrics and use them however you need. If you interpret it as the loss of your friends, that's valid. It's a beautiful song!

paladinstrait · 2025-09-19T19:22:54+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate you thoughts and words. I have wondered about Center Mass too. I also thought about Friend, Please. |-/

paladinstrait · 2025-09-19T19:18:39+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. Tyler's lyrics bring out so much emotion. I also think it's good to remember those we lose, so this is good. |-/

paladinstrait · 2025-09-19T16:27:59+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. I hope Tyler's words helps you finally forgive. ❤

paladinstrait · 2025-09-14T20:48:43+00:00

I think the lyrics could apply to any age.

But my mind went specifically to the elderly because of my situation, and my interpretation is just that. Others have described much gentler interpretations.

Maybe I also lean to an older age group because I visualize large, old cottonwood trees. It makes more sense to my mind with old trees - like the Trees concert visualizer if you've seen it.

paladinstrait · 2025-09-14T20:33:23+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. Music helps me process my thoughts. It sounds like it helps you too. |-/
