“Sometimes I say “Hi” and he, like, doesn’t answer Maybe, okay, maybe he’s just in a bad mood I think he’s just, I think he’s just going through something” In the end, you can hear a recording of Gray and his friends talking and having a good night. This lyric means that they never really come along or visit. “You only pass through the city every once in a million seconds on a broken clock.” With Covid, all we had was, to text, call, and facetime with friends. Long-distance relationships are very common now. Today we are living in a digital world, filled with social media and technology. The interlude “Online love” aims at complications of online relationships and their reality. “Tell all of your friends that I’m crazy and drive you mad, that I’m such a stalker a watcher a psychopath, and tell them you hate me and dated me just for laughs so why don’t you call me and tell me you want me back, you maniac!” You can take in the message in the unforgettable chorus of the song. The story behind the song is explained in an interview on the “Zach Sang Show.” He said that a person he barely knew was telling people that the singer was dating and obsessed with them. The song was certified platinum in the USA, Australia, Brazil, and Canada. “Maniac” is the third song off his debut album. Surprisingly many fans also related to this song and the bitter feeling that came along with the fake confession of love. He wondered why they could not confess love when sober and whether they really meant it. He goes on to explain the confusing emotions on this ballad. Later Gray found out they were not sober. But does it mean anything if they’re in the right state of mind? In “Wish you were sober” Gray tells a story about his crush calling him out of the blue confessing their love. If Gray who has millions of followers feels alone then we will be ok.Įveryone dreams of their crush saying they like you back. This song reminds us that we are never really alone. And so this is a song that I wrote for my best friend back home in Texas, named Ashley.¨ Yeah, so that’s kind of the type of friend that I wrote this song about. Sit for hours, do nothing, talk about nothing. ¨You can just sit in silence and just like perfectly fine. He went on to explain what the song is about. And I was like, ´God I wish I was with my best friend back home, You know how there are like certain friends that you have.” “I wanted to be with people that I knew I was like sitting in bed alone, I’d spent basically like the past four months just rotting in bed alone.
