[barren monolith]

i mean, he does say halls of my head quite a lot, and obviously more than routines in the night.

[snow osprey]

Ode to Sleep to "Metaphorically I'm A WHORE 🗣️‼️" /j

[shadow vault]

and what's more, at the outro it says "it's coming around, it's coming around. down to the halls of my heeeaaaad" (two times)

why is that important? well, interestingly enough in clancy like half of the song ends up with the song title

overcompensate, next semester, backslide, midwest indigo, lavish, etc

so yeah

[gusty current]

probably not, honestly. I even like when the songs title isnt really repeated. it feels like, idk. it feels like how my mental health feels with depression and anxiety like everything being a little bit disconnected

[shadow vault]

if it was called halls of my head it would've ended with the song's title

[quick copper]

id change lavish but only the font. so instead of lavish itd be 𝓵𝓪𝓿𝓲𝓼𝓱

[shrewd sapphire]

fuck it, change Vignette to "We May Be In A Forest But Josh's Is Still The Biggest (Vignette)"

[woven stirrup]

BRO I THOUGHT IT WAS THAT THE ENTIRE TIME OMG

[shadow vault]

i wouldn't change basically anything because something i love from tøp is that in most of the songs the part that hits the hardest is usually the part that says the title of the song and it's something i love

you'll see how in songs like guns for hands, vignette, next semester, jumpsuit and many many more it's the heaviest part and i think it's something all of the songs should have and i love how tøp does that in their songs 🫶

[slender bison]

i agree
or maybe something like double-sided

i personally feel tøp’s names for their songs are pretty central to their respective themes, and there’s good meaning behind them. if they aren’t something in the chorus then it’s almost like it has a hidden meaning, you know?

[jaunty sierra]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 4!

[shadow vault]

I AGREE

[slender bison]

that being said i really don’t like at the risk’s name but i don’t know what else i would name it
drop just sounds weird

[shadow vault]

ehhhh kind of, it's not a big deal considering he means it's better to check on friends no matter if you'll end up as someone dumb for asking something whose answer is obvious (being "good"), feeling dumb in the process

it's.. alright i mean i see where tyler was going

but it's still kind of weird

I think he could've used another way to portray the message, same with the "slits" from bysyd

[thick loom]

WAIT WHAT

[urban fog]

😭😭

[gloomy lava]

Swap Midwest indigo to hometown

For a week

Just to mess with people's heads

[cerulean fractal]

thats diabolical

i love it

[warm lantern]

Pantaloon

[gloomy lava]

Trees -> forest

[gloomy lava]

Same reason here

[strong haven]

This is too hard though, I really like it already… hmmm

I don’t know, maybe change “Snap Back” to “Frontslide” just bc of the other song “Backslide”

But uhm

That might not make as much sense as I thought in my head

But it sounds cool

I guess

[winged belfry]

Dema version

[amber orbit]

What if all the albums were called freaky instead

[obtuse bobcat]

what if blurryface was actually freakyface and instead of hometown it was freaktown

[regal lily]

Neon Gravestones into Glorious Gone

[shrewd wharf]

Ok this is funny but who is John?

[devout blade]

Ain't no way. The whole album is fire 😭

[karmic robin]

Ngl I feel like there was less and less meaning behind the lyrics for trench and sai than their previous albums but Clancy was a saving grace imo

[devout blade]

Oh yeah I get that..I think. I mean neon gravestones and redecorate are my fav songs of those albums because of how powerful the meaning is to me.

[karmic robin]

That’s why Tyler says Neon Gravestones is the heart of trench

And I feel like Choker is the only song with literal meaning on sai

[devout blade]

Yeah, that's a good song too 😭 I love all the songs on every album :,)

[karmic robin]

I. Don’t 😭. There are some songs that I just don’t. Feel connected to

Idk how to explain it 😭

[devout blade]

I get that lmao (I'm not hating btw)

[devout blade]

You're good! I got what you mean lmao

[karmic robin]

I feel like that has smth to do with my self titled is my fav album

I care more about meaning in the lyrics than the beat of the song

[devout blade]

Ohh right yeah

I got my 9 year old brother hooked on The Pantaloon somehow 💀 😭 😭

[karmic robin]

I like most parts of the pantaloon but I just don’t get what the pantaloon symbolizes

[devout blade]

Nether do i..

[karmic robin]

Google was no help 😒

[devout blade]

Aww darn 🤦‍♀️

[karmic robin]

Imo trapdoor or isle of flightless birds are the most powerful songs in the album

Or friend please

[devout blade]

UGH THOSE ARE SO GOOD I CAN'T

[devout blade]

I have a strong connection with this one bc of my irl friends feel that way

[jaunty sierra]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 2!

[karmic robin]

When my friends are depressed or suicidal I will listen to the song multiple times a day but if they aren’t I’m just not always in to mood to listen to sad songs

[devout blade]

Me too bro me too 😔

[karmic robin]

Aight it’s 5am for me 💀 there’s no hope of getting sleep but I’ll try. Nice talking with you :D

[devout blade]

Help same 😭

Same with you tho!

[mild totem]

real

LOL

agree

[vague lintel]

One of the long ones because sometimes they’re such a nightmare to type out fully, just make it slightly shorter 🤏🏻

[shadow vault]

DUDE I THOUGHT IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND, I thought he said "I'm a kitchen sink", instead of "at my", i kind of think "at my" makes more sense to me, like, he was at his kitchen sink when he discovered you can give a meaning to something that no one will know the meaning of, and that gives purpose

[tulip hearth]

I would erase snap back or backslide cause it’s the same thing and come up with a new plan

But in general I like the way they title their songs so no complaints on that

[vapid comet]

Maybe I'll change truce to " stay alive for me"

[heavy schooner]

Change Overcompensate to Krabby Patty Safe
||If you can't see I am Clancy, Money Pincher
Done spending, come up with SpongeBob, wanted dead or alive||

[fluid cradle]

Backslide is amazing

[thick parrot]

nt

never got into it

it’s just not a good song to me at all

[fervent swift]

I’m the same with next semester

[narrow charm]

At The Risk of Feeling Dumb to Check In. It feels like it fits the idea of the song more

[shadow vault]

yeah but way too long

[ornate ledge]

ATROFD feels like too goofy of a name imo, but changing it wouldn't make much sense to me, i feel like that lyric is really the climax of each verse/chorus
If i was going to rename it tho, I'd probably pick Never Have To Drop

[candid grove]

Oldies station to push on through

[crystal hearth]

Pet cheetah to Jason

[gusty current]

yes this exactly

[loud frigate]

change Heavydirtysoul to Heavy, Dirty Soul

[hard aurora]

backslide and next semester are my two favorite clancies

you guys have my permission to use the word “clancies” in the future

[copper orbit]

Agree big time with changing Oldies Station to Push on Through

[devout pagoda]

tbh i wouldn't change anything 🙌

[harsh pawn]

i don't know what to change them to but I think trees and forest are too similar

[winged belfry]

Most of the ideas are just changing the song to the mosed used lyrics in that song. So I agree with this

[devout pagoda]

yessss

[void current]

One that has always bothered me is a “car, a torch, a death” and “taxi cab” I love the names BUT one thing that always irritates me is in “taxi cab” it talks about a car, a death, and a metaphorical torch (the morning sun, “a little light revealed the spot-“, “the darkness fades away”) and in “a car, a torch, a death” they briefly mention a car, don’t explicitly talk about a death, and DO reference a torch. Obviously they are two pretty different songs but it always throws me for a loop

That or change the one lyric in trapdoor to bleeding just to REALLY mess with yall (I understand why people thought it was bleeding but I always heard blatant)

[pallid burrow]

I would call Hometown
Spirits in the Dark

The og title doesn't pop out too much

[pallid burrow]

I like this analysis, I've never noticed that connection before

[shadow vault]

yeah it's like they're connected each other

like in acatad we have this story where tyler almost gave up but then remember he has someone that is alive thanks to him, and were to their house save that person before its too late, and that person thanks him with the bottom of their heart

and taxi cab is like an alternative scenario where tyler did give up and is basically given a second chance, and it's like this metaphor of "you can do bad things or bad choices, but there's always a chance to redeem yourself"

it's like they're connected and acatad is like a prologue

[hard aurora]

they are

taxi cab takes place right after a car a torch a death

i believe the main character ends his life and angels take him to a new place and tell him to not be afriad

i havent checked genius in a while

[sterile coral]

I always saw that song as if the protagonist was moving to another city/state to go to college or simply move on with his life

It would intensify the theory that connects it to Next Semester also

[shadow vault]

i have a really... really extense interpretation, and just because of that it's one of my favourite songs off tøp, it's very personal to me

[proud tulip]

Lavish to Lavash

[cerulean fractal]

Heavydirtysoul to just dirtyfreak

Or maybe freakydirtysoul

[paper sleet]

"Lane boy" to "highway"

[paper sleet]

Or lashish

[spiral olive]

I think semi automatic should have had the origin name, twisted up

[shadow vault]

both titles fit the topic of having a bad side you can't control

[icy wyvern]

“addict with a pen” to “water” /j

JOKING I SWEAR

[winged belfry]

"Song" to "most said song lyric"

[spiral olive]

Yeah:)

[cerulean fractal]

Pantaloon to "middle school talent show sounding song"

"yOUr, GRANDpa DieD, whEn yOu wERE fIve"

[dusk pine]

Could be called slits

/j

[shadow vault]

JOr, GRHANDpah, DHAid, wen U were NaiN

[feral grove]

I’d change Not Today to Today

[shadow vault]

it'll be weird because tyler says "heard you say "not today""

[feral grove]

Heard you say today

lol

[hushed lagoon]

Pet Cheetah to Pet Cheeto

no questions asked

[cerulean fractal]

i love the song next semester but i feel like explaining to someone that your favorite song is "next semester" is a little odd. its not a bad title just it could've been workshopped a little more!

[shadow vault]

what do you suggest as a better title? something like "Can't Change What You've Done" perhaps?

a little bit too long but it definitely sound nice

[cerulean fractal]

maybe shorten it to "cant change" but that kinda sounds harsh. im not really sure any lyric from the song could fit as the title

[shadow vault]

yeah maybe something that is not from the song, many songs do that of course so yeah they don't necessarily need to have something from the lyrics as the title

however

in clancy every song has a title from the lyrics

so it'll feel weird to me

[cerulean fractal]

if we're talking non lyric titles, "fresh start" sounds pretty good. its hopeful, optimistic, and could be encouraging. I really couldn't figure out what else might sound better from the lyrics though

[shadow vault]

yeah

something like remember but it sounds empty

really
empty

[cerulean fractal]

the band chose the titles for a reason so clearly it's the best pick there is!

[shadow vault]

yeah

just hypothetically, as i said here i love that their title is usually the part that hits the hardest, so maybe something like "get out of the road" might work like that

but again, that also applies to next semester and also yeah, as you said they pick said title for a reason so it's better to just leave it like that!

[crystal hearth]

Oh my golly
