OK IM DONE THROWING UP AND BEING SICK NOW IM NORMAL AGAIN ive been sick since sunday but IM GOOD NOW I THINK. i feel okay so lets talk about greatest hits.
this is not a greatest hits album. its just called “greatest hits” and i think it might actually be the best album ever created.
[also this is unrelated but i cant remember if i brushed my teeth today lol its midnight and i spent all of today in horrible pain with a fever and muscle aches BUT IM OK NOW that booster took me OUT. that one was no joke. it’s worth it tho 💪🏼 covid will NAWT get me again i will make sure of that.)
okay so greatest hits.
im just gonna go thru the entire album in order because i cant pick just one to talk about they’re all amazing
nothing will ever be the same
the world is yours if you want it
take this time now
these are your Greatest Hits
DUDE EVEN THE INTRO TRACK GOES HARD AS HELL LIKEEEEEEEEE. this actually was my old coworkers favorite track on the album LOL
me, myself and i play a little game called “hide and sleep” at night cuz i see shadows on my walls, they see me from the halls
and i don’t know just what they want- but i’ma knock them down, down, down like what’s UP
i’m really not a bad guy, step into the good light, say a little prayer for you. kill another demon, you know what i mean man- my brain just needs a little bit of cleaning
everything gets fuzzy when i hear your sound
i wish i could go back to the moment when i first heard this song. when the album came out at midnight i turned off all my lights and laid in the dark to listen to it in order and my FACE WHEN THE DROP CAME LOL I WISH I WAS RECORDING. do you ever have that? like wishing you could listen to a song for the first time again ? this is one of those songs for me, i wish i could hear it with fresh ears again it was so crazy holy shit.
i just cried into a shirt i could never afford last year
i guess at least my work is working, right? people like me better when i hurt inside. they say its not true and they “hope i’m alright” but their eyes probably rolled at the first line (f*ck ‘em!)
what’s the point of being great if im great alone?
i like cool shirts, i like cold rings, i want a big house but im hiding. i want a brain that doesn’t hate me. i wanna see my stupid F*CKIN FRIENDS DAILY
i’m highkey and lowkey as hell- your diva, i just wanna see ya. i’m highkey and lowkey as hell- your sweetheart, don’t wanna be apart.
the “i wanna see my stupid f*ckin friends daily” line is SO good to scream along to live. so cathartic 🥲
cuz motherf*cker i look good today, self care, green hair, lookin cute today
hello to the FANDOM, please don’t have a TANTRUM, cuz if this here ain’t a stickup then why do i got both my hands up? prayin, im just sayin- you’re either dyin or you’re playin, either way im in the conversation
now i’m mad about i dont know what, all i know is that this isn’t fun. the more i wrap myself up, the more im coming undone.
my band and i are like coldplay that’s allowed to say the f*ck word. you? you’re like the biggest scummy bummy dummy ugly mother f*cker
cuz you can’t look past caps or the jokes i make, cuz you hate to laugh, you’re too cool for me
you only like me when i’m numb
again. i wish i could go back to when i first heard “scummy bummy dummy ugly mother f*cker” for the first time cuz WHO HAS GOT HIM THAT TWISTED UP. THATS PURE GOLD. i laughed so hard when i first heard that like damn is it that serious 🤕🤕
also the “coldplay that’s allowed to say the f*ck word” line means nothing, awsten just thought the idea of coldplay not being allowed to say f*ck was funny and put it in. he’s kind of a weirdo ngl.
you say “boy, i’m not a stalker, but i watch you when you’re walking- you call all kinds of people who aren’t me.”
“you love me in such weird ways, like when you lead me back to your place. you do it without words, but don’t you worry, cuz i heard everything”
you say “boy, i know you’re in there, and the way you tease is unfair. this ain’t misery- but i’d break your knees to keep you here with me”
you freak me out, so i stay in. alone on my couch, watching netflix again. it’s like i’m watching ‘you’, but it’s about me. and just to be clear- i mean the show, you’re joe AH—
now you’re looking thru the peephole on the door of my apartment. my panic’s at the ceiling, but i’m flat down on the carpet.
this actually is about a real experience awsten had with a stalker. i also think you’d probably appreciate the reference to “you” lol, im pretty sure you watched that show. i think i remember you mentioning it once or twice. maybe??
good morning- why’d you wake me? when i haven’t slept much lately? i was havin that same old dream again, the one that finally took my head and win
cuz all i hear is “i love you so much”, but it starts to mean nothing when my heart is shut from you
i wrote down the soundtrack to giving up, and the songs go like this on my Greatest Hits, oh.. its love, yea
in the daytime, i get to debate myself and quiet all the evil things i say, like “everybody hates you”, “people miss the old you”, “they hate everything that they all changed you into”
i’ve been dead since 2016, so good morning- can you fix me?
my tiny little world is in your hands— so shake it like a snow globe, f*ck my plans
^^that line is so dreamy …..
i don’t have the sympathy, i think that you need more from me, if life is just a game then i’ma flip the board and break the peace- cuz we’re living, we’re living, we’re living, we’re living. forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it.
this might be one of my favorite songs of all time. i’ve played it so many times i’m pretty sure i gave myself a brand new mental illness. ive seen it live 3 times too.
apparently i didn’t take a single video of snow globe from my concert in november 2021, but i DO have 5 straight minutes of him talking about selling feet pics 😐 clearly my priorities were in order.
proof of him talking about selling foot pics 🫠 thanks orlando LOL. waterparks shows are Clearly very chaotic.
i wish i was dead sometimes so i wouldn’t have to check my phone
i packaged up my pain today, i wrapped the box in cellophane. it’s clear so i can see inside- to watch the worst of me escape.
but i like your apartment, i like how your hair smells, its buried all my problems until i forget the details. that’s all i can talk about without hurting your feelings, so check out all the love i get, it’s fake and it doesn’t happen at all
plan A, plan B, i’m numb but i’m still hurting. mental, physical, cyclical but what they hand me. plan C, plan D, you can’t kill what you can’t see— i’ll take on every little thing you hand me.
i wish i was dead sometimes— hahahaha… i’m just kidding! (he’s just joking! it’s fine..)
to be honest this is one of the songs i was not 100% in love with when it first came out but it grew on me VERY quickly.
first i’d find my evil twin, then i will make best friends with it. we both hate the same things, waste some hours talkin shit
we complete each other’s lines because our stupid brains connect- but because of that, our serotonin would crash at approximately the same time, and we would both need a nap, god damn
sunbathe, lookin like a sunday, wishin for a someday i could run away like that.
yea, maybe paradise is somewhere deep inside the halls or walls where i’ve spent all my time building my whole life where i feel alright— cuz i never wanna leave the secret life of me, the secret life of me.
keep my eyes wide shut, live a secret life for fun, away from anyone and everyone
i’ve actually showed you this song before— i rlly think you would like it a lot. it reminds me of you whenever i hear it 🥲 this one really stuck out to me on the first listen of this album. i think it’s a dreamy song ~
maybe the world was made in six days— but i could ruin mine by monday, i’ll write it on the wall. “if you read this, it’s your fault”.
you want some glitter? drink it down.
usually i’m all i’ve got— lucky for me, i don’t need a lot.
awsten talked this song UPPPPPP when the album first dropped (FOR GOOD REASON). but then he never even played it live 🤨🤨🤨🤨 seems kinda rude to me not gonna lie <\3
people treat me like i’m an asshole, but i dont text when i drive tho.
can’t say that they’re all wrong tho, cuz i still use straws on the downlow (oh, im sorry..)
alone, but surrounded, im breathin, im drowning, i haven’t slept in days but who’s counting?
might just rent a hotel room, light a couple candles, find out that i’m cancelled (shit.)
my plan B: i might just lose my shit up off the balcony, room 103, yea, thats my purgatory, until i end it all- shit. WHOOPS… i got a little dark. yea, things get a little hard
have a Britney moment, had to cut it off. i got what i wanted, or at least i thought..
i’m a little bit of a little bitch, so? i might turn around and say some stupid shit
“you’d be paranoid too if everyone you knew was out to get you” is actually the title of his book. yes awsten knight has a book. I STARTED TO READ IT but i never finished it bc i actually don’t know how to read. i never learned, im jared 19. i’d like to buy it for real and actually read thru it all one day tho. actually im 99% sure there’s an audio book narrated by him, i would LOVE that. i feel like that would make it like 10 times funnier. all i remember is there’s a chapter called “mcdonalds trash can girl”, so. that clearly means its top tier quality.
i got some fruit by the foot, if you wanna come over
you could wrap your arms so tight, right around my shoulders in case you’re scared of the movies i pick— i’m sorry in advance for that shit
when you talk, it’s in cursive to me and it’s nicer than anything i’d believe about me… (it’s like that shit was written in gel pen, and i LOVE those…)
it’s true… i’m a little bitch for you now
i don’t wanna leave my house, cuz in here i’m the ruler with my refrigerator full of pacific cooler. but for you, i’d brave all the traffic outside— the way you brave all the bullshit i hold inside
i could freestyle you a verse, or maybe a hook…
i bought these paintings to impress you— did it work?
this song is so. SO DREAMY AND ROMANTIC TO ME FOR NO REAL REASON, I SWEAR. it has me kickin my feet and twirling my hair and shit its SOOOOOOOOO SO SO SO SO CUTE 🥰
i did see fruit roll ups at that acoustic set but apparently i didnt take a single video. bonk 🤕 oh well
oohhhhh its about to go DOWN NOW KEVIN, NOW WE’RE COOKIN WITH CADMIUM
i don’t tell you how to wake up and be a dumb bitch every day— so how about you stay out of my lane, no my whole FREEWAY
how the hell did i end up in hell right next to you?
i can’t tweet that i wanna kill myself, but if i put it in a song that shit goes hard as hell so what the f*ck is up??
you deserve a couple bad hair days, and i hope that your car’s AC breaks. i’d like if you cracked your phone screen, but i’d like it even more if you called me
do i do this for a living or a death??
if they’re mad at this, then you can tell then that i wasn’t sober (but i wasssss…)
((we think about themes of the album, we think about themes of the tour that’s upcoming, we think about new music that MIGHT be getting worked on… what would you say is gonna be the next colour of your hair?)) … i’m gonna shave my F*CKING HEAD
youre getting the full ass concert video. for some reason this is the only song i got a full video of. also pretend you dont hear me in the background.
the “i’m gonna shave my f*cking head” line was clearly SO real for me. also he did, in fact, end up shaving his head. he actually did it on an instagram live. he’s so dramatic. I USED TO SHAVE MY HEAD TOO fun fact. which is so crazy cuz now my hair is like down to the middle of my back. i wanna shave my hair again so bad im getting so sick of it. should i go bald again ? i always say once i’m out of fun ideas for hair colours i’m gonna just shave it all off again. maybe next tbz tour i’ll come back with no hair :p
and what it comes back to is gladiators. make them fight to the death, and they would cheer on a gladiator. but the whole time the gladiator wasn't fighting 'cause he liked fighting, he wasn't fighting because he wanted anything else. he was fighting completely for survival. and his whole survival completely relied upon a stadium full of people. that's why, that's why the media is like… because they just wanna see you and that f*cking other guy fight. it’s literally f*cking gladiators, they LOVE to see- … it’s, like, crazy because the whole f*cking thing is all built off of a gladiator mentality. the only way to, like-
to, like, really participate in "juking" the system, y’know? the only way is to, like… come out of your human self
ok so i’ve got two things with this one.
well actually three
1.) yes i know this entire thing by heart
2.) yes i got a video of it at the concert (i would upload the video but apparently fancafe only lets you upload 5 videos per post and i’m trying to be choosey with which vids i show you. obviously the feet pics are more important)
3.) OK SO in november 2021 i had VIP for the concert and they had a q&a session for part of it, and awsten picked me to ask a question, and he totally called my bluff cuz i didnt know what to ask, so i on the spot asked if i could sing during gladiator AND THIS BITCH
he’s such an ass sometimes 😐😐 he got me good tho, for a split second i thought he was saying yes for real. it was really funny. even tho he makes fun of me i love him regardless.
i’ve spent today winning arguments against no one in my head. i did great— you should’ve been there ((that was a joke))
there’s my audience, there’s my arrogance, the world revolves around me, sleeping soundly
i got home last night on a red-eye. i’m the last one left on my good side
i’m reflecting back, but i’m bad at that, so i’ll say f*ck the past, but don’t forget yourself
it’s like that that that that, bangin on my head like bap-bap-bap-bap, feelings in the light go bad bad bad bad, headlights in my eyes go black black black black
yea, you said it: “i’m magnetic to the things i hate the most”
pink velvet on my bedroom floor— you’re all i want and more
i spent today insubordinate, yea i’m f*ckin up, i’m recording it
i see the posts, i see the tweets, i see his f*ckin face but he’s not me, so listen to me
it’s bad bad bad bad, teasin on myself like na-na-na-na, driving slow
(yea, i’m losing myself, don’t trust nobody else, it’s cause..)
now i’m walking thru my star shaped morgue, singin “what the f*ck’d i do it for?”
heard voices from my closet door: “you’re all we want and more”
yea, you said it: “i’m magnetic to the things i hate the most”…
i think i may have said in the first part that dizzy is my fave parx song, but i think it’s actually this. i cant even describe to you how deep this song hit when i first heard it. i was utterly floored by this song. so whenever a new album comes out for a band or group that i like i like to go through the track list and try to guess which song is gonna be my favorite just from the titles, and i didnt even pay attention to this one on the list. it caught me completely by surprise. i also saw this song live- this video isnt mine, my brother took it from the back where he was sitting. i couldn’t take a single video, i was sobbing the literal entire time, which was embarassing cuz geoff and awsten saw me snot crying the entire time LMFAO
it was honestly such an amazing experience and i’m so thankful i got to see this song live- right at the barricade, no less.
so practice your passion on me, give me your hundred degrees, i’ll die off whenever you need an afternoon just to breathe.
soon everyone will be gone, they’ll forget my albums. i hope you’ll be here when it’s done and i’m crying over it all
cherry red’s your touch, a touch i’m failing to feel, or feel enough to love you safely. “who” “what” “when” and “why”, all drive me crazy— please make me sane for you.
i want the fireworks, i want the softest words, i want what you deserve and to unlearn my hurt.
i guess i’ve got the time to loose my mine another thousand times to get it right, its all i want, and all i need, and really
all i think about is where you might be. and when i’m swallowed down, i’d say it’s for you
i would love to hear you cover this song to be honest. i think your voice would sound really pretty on this track.
wake up, good morning, my love’s distorted, but what’s important— my shirt’s imported.
i pray for more shit like that would help me to feel more free— typical story.
endorse the truth, and f*ck the rest. i only see my friends on stage, so cut the check or cut my neck
soundtrack to forgetting, depressed or count blessings.. i don’t know
check my watch, one-two, testing.
i hope we last one, 4001, enough time to right my wrongs because i’ve wronged a lot. knowing that shit’s the first step, but knowing won’t make letting you down hurt less
last night i had the strangest dream of all..
ok so now i’m gonna explain the concept of the album.
greatest hits is supposed to take place over the time of one night. it’s sort of like a dream sequence. so before LIKE IT is like. a dream, and then after gladiator it turns into a nightmare, and now with ice bath this is when the narrator wakes up, essentially. it’s a really cool concept for an album, in my opinion. it’s also supposed to directly follow the same day as their album FANDOM, which came before this album. so FANDOM is one day, and greatest hits is one night, if that makes sense. it’s so cool
i don’t wanna say too much, but what’s a meltdown between friends…?
(f*ck it!)
f*ck it! i don’t even care tho, broken escalator’s still stairs tho
if you could see the things that i see when i sleep, then you’d be paranoid like me…
i’m a ray of sunshine, look at me.
everywhere i go, i’m poisoning.
cuz demons drove a limo straight into my window like they’re motherf*ckin postmates, and late, god damn, hot damn— bill gates, hey! hey, lemme talk to elon musk man. where the f*ck is my flying truck bitch? put down a hundred bucks, shit never showed up, what’s up? that’s f*cked.
it’s like if everything could go away, i never had it anyways. if i’m the guy from castaway, that makes you wilson, hate to say. and everything i know is gonna kill me in the end, but we’ll get there when we get there when we get there when we get there when we-
f*ck everyone and everything and every single magazine that made me feel i’m not enough, it’s really f*ckin crippling
i am not about the “he-said she-said” bullshit. dudes with beards online like to say shit, tweetin middle fingers up from their day shift. but i was just like them, just hatin’
i gave up everything, something-to-nothing, this song is the recipe, curses to blessings. i haven’t seen family, hoping they’re proud of me, missing on holidays, give people more but then there’s nothing left of me.
i’ll see you in the future.
ok so the title LOL SO BASICALLY someone went to get “see you in the future” tattooed, but the tattoo artist messed it up and tattooed “see you in in the future” instead, and the fan showed awsten and then awsten was like “you know what? let’s just change the name of the song”, so he changed the title on all streaming platforms to “see you in in the future”. which is pretty awesome, i think. it was so funny.
OK SO THAT’S IT THAT’S MY ESSAY ON GREATEST HITS I HOPE YOU ENJOYED. i honestly still haven’t gotten sick of this album an entire year out. it still is so good, i listen to it fully all the way thru on the regular to this day. it’s honestly SO good and i rlly hope you end up checking out some of these songs. i would die if you ever did a cover of a waterparks song, i think your voice would sound SO good on these tracks man. hit up awsten for a collab he’s desperate lol he would probably be down to be honest, he’s bitchless. 😋😋
ok i’ll post one more part after this and then i’m done bothering you i swear, i just wanna tell you about the times i’ve met them and some more concert stories and then i’ll be done for real pinky promise.
i’ll be back ~ talk soon ~
