 Song 165

Hey everyone, welcome back to the blog. New music just keeps on coming, which is great for me. Not just because I love music, but because writing is a great outlet for me to get my emotions out. There's been a lot going through my mind, and just the world in general. But I'm not here to talk about that, I'm here to write a review on a new song. The song I have for you today is called X's For Eyes by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus! Which are famously known for their song Face Down, it's a really great song as well. So let's get into the review.

The intro on this track isn't very long, but it's fun and gets you interested. I would say this is more pop punk then just punk, which is nice. It has a fun and upbeat tempo, as well as tone, and the melody is very catchy. The first verse: "Hidden in the rearview, I see you. Everything you did, I did that too. Nothing you could say would change that, nothing you could do would break that now. You've been on your own so long, can you tell me if it's worth what you've been through. Nothing you could say would change that, nothing you could do would break that now." I don't really have much to comment on about this verse, so let's continue on. This is a little bit of a pre-chorus: "I know that one day you will see we all love you." That's actually really sweet. The chorus: "Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy? Cause I'm scared you're gonna die, take control of your life. And wake up from all the bad dreams, you could end it all tonight. Everyone knows where this body lies, X's for eyes." I feel like this song is about caring for someone, who maybe on the path of self-destruction. The second verse: "Look into my eyes if you want to, everything you see there will be true. Nothing you could say would change that, nothing you have done will break that now." This line I relate to so much right now, there is so much I want to say to someone. But I'm so scared I'm gonna lose them if I do, I'm just so torn. But I hope that they can see, what I can't say by looking in my eyes. Because that's really where the truth lies, isn't it? The chorus repeats again, with some background vocals. Then it repeats for a final time, there's no bridge on this track. The cover art for the single is really cool. The outro is the instrumental fading out, which I like. I think that's very cool. It's a short song, but I like the message it has. 

That's it for this review, I hope you go and check it out for yourselves. I will see you in the next one. Happy listening.
