You have kids, who, for them it's completely acceptable and normal to live how we're living right now. I mean, I'm feeling that as a 33 year old man.
PARASITE EVE SONG BY BRING ME THE HORIZON HOW TO
It's like: Do I scream? Do I shout? Do I tell someone? Do I fight about it or do I sit down? We're losing our touch with how to react to this stuff. I think it's very dangerous because when we hear these stories of oppression, tragedies or whatever.
This song is about how our moral compass is a little bit skewed because we're so numb to the bad news every single day and it's hard to know what we should actually do about that. But the mental impact of the way we're living now, the way our society is, I don't think we've really seen the after effects or the repercussions of that and I think we will soon. We're all in the same boat, so no one really likes talking about it. That's like inviting thousands of chatty strangers to your bedroom at like 7:05. We wake up in the morning, and no one says 'You shouldn't check your phone first thing in the morning, and just look at bad news or social media.' No one tells us that. We're addicted to our phones, addicted to our computers, to media, the news. "Tech addiction is so normal for us these days. I feel like 'Teardrops' is some of the best work we've ever done, musically and lyrically as whole." Īdditionally, Sykes would explain his thought process on the meaning behind "Teardrops" in an interview with BBC Radio 1: "I'm so excited to get this single out, it feels like a classic Bring Me the Horizon tune but without it feeling like anything we've done before. Speaking about the song overall, Sykes explains his thoughts on "Teardrops" at the time of release: It was also noted that the chord progression of "Teardrops" took inspiration from the aforementioned band's " Somewhere I Belong" on Linkin Park's Meteora that was released in 2003. Musically, "Teardrops" sets inspiration from the typical nu-metal genre and the song is compared by music critics mostly to old Linkin Park's sound. Initially done as a joke, Sykes and Fish opted to sneak the sound into the song and heavily pitched and played with the reverb to disguise the obvious noises to fit in with the rest of the song, it first notably happens at around 10 seconds into the song.
During the production of "Teardrops", Sykes tried to convince Jordan Fish to incorporate elephant trumpet noises into the song. According to an interview with NME, the song is Oliver Sykes' personal favourite on Post Human: Survival Horror. The music video represents Sykes struggles with his mental health and drug abuse, but he overpassed it because of his bandmates. It also talks about depression and anxiety. The song talks about kids growing up in today's age with tech addiction being commonplace and the problems of it. It was written by the band's lead vocalist Oliver Sykes and keyboardist Jordan Fish. "Teardrops" has been described by critics as a nu metal, metalcore, hard rock, alternative rock, and an emo song. Problems playing this file? See media help.
