Father Figure (Track by Track) 歌词

Father Figure is a song about power, a song about a protégé and their mentor And about sort of the idea of the tables turning, and the flipping of the script, almost sort of like the son versus the father And I've always loved stories about that and I've always wanted to create a song that really explained how those roles can shift over time And I'm really proud of this one, too It has one of my favorite key changes that I've ever done in a song so, lo-look for that in the end I would say that lyrically,, I had such a blast writing this record because each song is, like, it's own sort of choose your own adventure Each song feels like an era of it's own,, it's just a very dramatic, sweeping, epic record full of twelve songs, but each one really packs a punch and each one is really it's own kind of movie But the Father Figure lyrics are my favorite I remember just writing the lyrics, just like sitting there just being like: Heheh, heheheh It's the stuff that I've always wanted to say The first line of the second verse is, like, my favorite in terms of a visual, like, you think about what it means And then you realize it's just like, a very descriptive way to say something And I love that line, and I also love the key-change chorus lyrics It's just, it was a blast to write I, I love like, stepping into a character like that
