From the album I Just Got Mad - Single
This is a song about someone who apologizes for anger without ever saying what they're angry about. The narrator claims emotions ruin relationships, then proves it by turning a confession into an emotional hostage situation where even offering dinner becomes a test of whether you still love them.
I'm really cool until I have to talk / Now all of the words I know, I just forgot
He describes himself as smooth in theory but completely dysfunctional in practice. The claim of forgetting words while actively speaking them is the whole problem compressed into two lines.
I'm over love / It's so overrated to me / I miss your touch, I hate your guts
He declares love overrated in one breath and admits missing her touch in the next. The contradiction isn't accidental. It's someone trying to disavow feelings while actively drowning in them.
I can't be good for us / 'Cause I tend to care too much / So I hold it in instead / Then I lose my head
This might be the thesis of his entire emotional life. Caring becomes toxic when bottled, but instead of changing the pattern, he explains it like it's weather. He narrates his own dysfunction without fixing it.
I'd like to take you to eat / What do you think, do you think about me?
A dinner invitation immediately becomes an interrogation about whether she thinks about him. The song never names what he's mad about because the anger isn't about an event. It's about needing constant reassurance he's not getting.
Sorry, I just got mad / Pretty good
After all that apology and self-flagellation, he rates himself 'pretty good.' The tonal whiplash is either self-aware irony or total emotional dissociation. Either way, it undercuts every sorry that came before it.
The song ends with 'pretty good' after an entire track of apologies and emotional chaos. That self-assessment is either a joke or the scariest line in the whole thing. Either he genuinely thinks this counts as handling it well, or he knows it doesn't and has given up trying.
