“Eat Yourself” starts with a background static/crackling noise that gives it a very nostalgic, melancholic feeling, but it turns hopeful by the end with an outro comprised purely of bright vocal melodies.
Eat Yourself Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you don't eat yourself, no doubt the pain will instead
You could loan the light, say it all messed up
[Verse 2]
You went south on the train, she wore plastic boots for rain
And you crawl along exhausted
No sense, no reason
[Chorus]
Who will I be when I'm with you again
Silver jet in the sky
You are the pain, got a song, got to sing
For life
[Verse 3]
If you don't eat yourself, no doubt the pain will instead
If you don't eat yourself, you will explode instead
[Verse 4]
So how can I love you so
When I know you don't love me
[?] say it all, get wicked [?]
[Chorus]
Who will I be when I'm with you again
Silver jet in the sky
You are the pain, got a song, got to sing
For life
[Non-Lyrical Outro]

And it had this old woody and folksy guitar sound with a very rustic feel. I...
