Correlating random songs because in my head it makes sense I

Brooooooooo, it was like 3:45, and I some time now I'm thinking about writing this hm "theory" bc I want lol. So I'm writing it. 


TW: mentions of suicide

It correlates 6 songs right now (5 by Diorama, 1 by Diary of Dreams, yeah very varied taste), it plays around with two persons: a suicidal person and a loved one.

So, this, I'm going to call it story, starts with the song Amok by Diary of Dreams. It basiclly talks about the poetic subject (the suicidal) faking their emotions and about their not wanting to be "saved" by the other person, that knows the truth about them. This song be also related to & by Diorama, which it's bascilly the "saviour" prespective. I'm going back to this song too.

I honestly could put these first parts in another order but whatever, idc. Anyways, I'm going to put the songs Synthesize Me and Erase Me (by Diorama, I'm not going to mention the band bc the rest it's by them), bc they are kinda similar (even if we exclude the fact that they were released in the same single lol). So, they could be like a pt 1 and a pt 2, because, if in Synthesize Me, the chorus goes "I am only staring at the blade" and in Erase Me, theres two lines that the person speaking did "the blade", "And my cuts go deeper" and "Come erase the scars". It could be that the person wanted to change their life by being reborn (I could also talk about the hidden track in A Different Life, but I didn't thought about it too much). And those two songs also use most of the time the first and second person, making it, the person speaking wanting them to speak about their decision. But the other person could already know that they will die and they can't do anything to not make it happen, because on the last part on &, it says "I don't mind your / Self-destruction / And your promises / That will all expire".

Knowing this, the suicidal person dies, probably after the events of Erase Me, and on Someone Dies, the loved one, is hurt by their death and wants to join them in an afterlife. They could be also feel guilty, in The Convenience of Being Absent, it may kinda conflit with &, on the first line and maybe when it says "can you pretend to be there", but honestly, if following this storyline, they knew that they would die and couldn't to do anything, and maybe they were probably faking when they said that they didn't mind if they died, and they wished that the other person mental health would be better and that didn't happened. Maybe this last part could be considered a strech though. But still my point stands.

But hey, this is just a theory, a lyric theory.

Yeah, maybe lyric interpretation could be my new hobby lol. Also I could expan this storyline too. Maybe one day.
