Tally

What it's about

The song can be read in several ways. One reading is Clancy's final apology to Torchbearer, who stood by him throughout his journey, after betraying him. Another is Tyler Joseph wanting to isolate himself out of fear that he could not meet fans' expectations. In the simplest reading, it tells of someone who knows they are breaking a close friend's heart and, unable to find the strength to go on, must end the relationship.
