      Try to think one step ahead: like, what is the most obvious (genuine) reaction to those words? Like "it's not you, it's me" => feeling better, because you're not the problem. "My relationship with X is complicated" => it would take a long time to explain, probably boring, let's talk about something more interesting instead. Then consider that the person saying those words might say them to get that result, not to actually give you information - so in the first case, they might want you to feel better for whatever reason (often because they feel bad about it and don't want to cause you even more misery, because they either still care a bit or just aren't a monster - even if they consider you the problem), and in the second one, they might want to discourage you from asking about that relationship (because probably they don't want to talk about it, probably because it makes them feel bad).
      Lots of examples in the song are more jokes, though. The "g'dday, champion" and friends is something you could hear standing alone against a group of tipsy and energized football fans at night on an empty street, so it sounds dangerous just because of the context. "I literally can't" is an internet joke, it's just a phrase people use ("literally" started meaning "really" or "very" instead of literally "literally"), and the hyperbole is that she can (handle the situation? stop laughing? it's context-dependent), but it's harder, and she wants to say it's hard, so she's using a hyperbole "I can't", emphasizing it even more with "literally". Sexual jokes are kind of next level because people can get very creative about it, but it very depends who's talking, too - so some people would joke about sex all the time and some people wouldn't at all.
      Oh, and reading between the lines of the song instead of "what is said", you can get the conclusion that the author actually often dislikes the need of understanding and conversing in subtext. Like, it's convenient, it can protect your emotions, it's funny (or scary-funny), but it can also be annoying and often cowardly.

    The genius part about this song is that, when taking it literally, it is a text telling you that you must catch and receive social cues, while when reading between the lines it is making fun of a society that has decided such is the best method of communication. In other words, however you read it, the conclusion contradicts with the method you used to get there. So can that be reduced to a single interpretation? Probably "communication is hard".

    Tom I gotta say that harmonic melody here is fantastic, especially since I can still clearly understand the lyrics. The choice to split the vocals into each ear keeps it intelligible while also giving the song more depth. It's not something I usually think is pulled off well, but man you did it wonderfully here, well done.

    It should be illegal to walk into frame during the literal first few seconds of your song somehow looking like a total badass even though you’re wielding a wooden drumstick and a *glass cup*

      I enjoy the fact that you use slang to describe the quality of the song, which some people may not be familiar with, then complain that people don't say what they mean in the same sentence.

      Ah yes, a commonly used phrase is totally, definitely the same thing as being deliberately vague to obfuscate what you actually mean. Totally the same thing. Definitely comparable

      @@feraynironmane8101 you know there's a difference between saying what you mean in slang, and using implicit undertones to say what you mean without doing it. The second one can be complicated, especially for people who have Asperger's syndrom, like me.

      @@donmusik2691 There's also the fact that, while a lot of autistic people do have a handle on non-literal speech (so using slang, understanding metaphors, etc), a lot of autistic people genuinely don't. And some people are a mix of the two (e.g. most metaphors are fine, but there are some that come off strange or difficult to understand the meaning of)! fun times
