    I don’t think I’d call him a lyrical genius but this song is basically an interlude off of quite an old album. Flower Boy represented a big shift for his music tonally and maturity-wise. Maybe check his music after that to get a better idea of why is current fans feel the way they do.

    One of the main themes of this album was summer camp. Some of the album literally feels campy and other parts feel angsty or edgy. It’s meant to put you in the mind of a teenage boy. IFHY or Answer would be a better representation of lyricism off this album.
