“love; not wrong (brave)” follows a theme of hope, progress, and emotional vitality in response to a strained relationship, a departure from the gloomier and more desperate lyrics of previous songs in the album.
The track features the sample EDEN recorded with a live crowd that he uploaded to Spoti...
[Intro]
And I know I've been closing myself off, unsure
I know I've been real hard to reach, harder to love
And I know it's tiring, this shit is getting old
[Pre-Chorus]
But please, just hold on to me
I've slayed these demons, they're old to me
Recurring dreams, this is happening
Tearing my seams; lucid reality
[Chorus]
And I just want you to feel love (love!)
Before it disappears (not!)
'Cause we are more than we're not (wrong!)
So never fear to feel (brave!)
Good when everything's wrong (love!)
And find some beauty there (not!)
'Cause all we ever are is brave (brave!)
And your world's not ending, ooh
[Verse]
So I won't go
I'm still living in the middle of a one-way war
I can't fight it but I'm trying to be what you want, yeah
You can't sing but you're singing this anyway
And anyway, so please just hold on to me
This is no end, we're not finished here
Finding our way, we're just changing
Becoming more than I think of me, yeah
These fears in my head, dreams in my bed
They won't get the best of me, yeah
'Cause I chase dreams 'till the end
These nightmares all bend
Silver linings are all I need
[Pre-Chorus]
So, please, just hold on to me
I've slayed these demons, they're old to me
Recurring dreams, this is happening
Tearing my seams from reality
[Chorus]
And I just want you to feel love
Before it disappears
'Cause we are more than we're not
So never fear to feel
Good when everything's wrong (love!)
And find some beauty there (not!)
'Cause all we ever are is brave

on brave i guess its a look at recognising that there is a cyclical nature to things (which i talked about somewhere else on here) and that regardless of the adversity or setback or loss or w/e, you can bend it to be whatever you want it to be and get what you want out of it (which i also spoke abou...
