Twenty One Pilots frontman Tyler Joseph wrote this song for Scaled and Icy. Recorded during the COVID pandemic, the album catalogues Joseph's prevailing emotions during the Coronavirus era.
This song finds Joseph painting a picture of his feelings of isolation and alienation while locked down during COVID quarantine. With every day seeming the same and routine going out of the window, the singer needed his wife Jenna to prompt him to maintain basic hygiene habits. Catch me floatin' circles in my fishbowl Keep things fresh She said that I should change my clothes I exaggerate the life we used to know It was the love of Jenna that kept Joseph going during the pandemic.
Slow down on Monday Not a sound on Wednesday, yeah Might get loud on Friday But on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday We paint the town During the chorus, Joseph recounts a normal week in pre-pandemic times. This contrasts with the COVID-era when time has gone out of the window. "When you strip away what day of the week it is, you lose your rhythm," Joseph told Apple Music. "You lose your sense of what is up and what is down. You feel like you're swirling and your feet aren't planted. The song is really, 'I'm talking to my wife, hoping that she sticks with me, even though I'm working through this, even though I'm kind of tumbling into nothingness.'"
