<span style="background:#FFC760;">Tyler:</span> "There's a lyric in the chorus that talks about a dangerous bend symbol and it's a certain sign, it's like a zigzag sign that basically says, "Hey up ahead you know slow down there's a there's a sharp turn" and um, I just remember remember thinking it's kind of cheesy I guess but a bit of an analogy in in certain seasons of my life where I would just completely ignore those sorts of signs um and just you know go full speed ahead and kind of


learn the hard way in some ways. So a bit of that overcompensating is, you know, overcorrecting your steering when trying to get back on, you know, on course and um you know it's interesting I think in the UK you're dangerous Bend symbols slightly different than over here in the States but just so you guys know I was thinking of the one in the UK when I wrote it. Um, and so not not here and it wasn't until afterwards I was driving in my hometown, I realized oh that's way different. That one's that one's big and yellow and the other one's kind of like... a triangle, um, it's way cooler looking. So I think you guys have cooler signs over there."

And then there's that theory of like maybe you know you only get access to a limited amount of notes in your lifetime. [I] don't know if you remember that, that conversation. Like have you had that approach with like with this upcoming album as well? Like are you finding like a new well of notes or..."

The first pool is the nothing to something where there was at one point no song and now there's a song. You know the creativity is sparked, you create something out of thin air and then there's this other pool of infinity. It's the, it's how to dress it up how, to record it what's the structure. What is, you know, what instruments should be used and in communicating the song and that's the part that takes a long time, you know? I've been worked on this record for a year and there are times where I asked myself, "is it supposed to be this hard, is it supposed to take this long?" and I have to remind myself the part that actually takes really long is the how to dress it up part."

Um, Clancy is the type of character who for a long time didn't know if he was a leader or not didn't really want to take responsibility for it and I think specifically this song, Overcompensate being the first song on the record, it's going to be the first song we play live when we start, you know, uh, touring. There's a bit of a confidence in it and a bit of a swagger in it that that the character really needed to embody in order to take on the new role. That, uh, the story that we've been telling and Clancy's going to kind of like, rise up as that as that person."
