Tragedi Bertiga: Arti Lirik & Chord Lagu IN THREES – As It Is

[Verse 1: Patty Walters]
The fire inside of my head got out
I don’t give a fuck if the house burns down
I’ll bury myself in a bed and wait for the party to end
I’m not in the mood to attend now

[Pre-Chorus: Cody Carson]
Pack up all my problems ‘til they sear inside my brain
Can’t tell pain from pleasure, but I know they’re not the same
Light up all the candles like it’s time to celebrate
And wish all my problems away
Kill the flame

[Chorus: Patty Walters]
Misery don’t sleep
Dying to take back what it gave me
Tragedy comes in threes
Third-degree apathy

[Verse 2: Cody Carson]
I think that I’m learning to hope (Oh no)
Or maybe just learning to cope (No)
The kitchen is filling with smoke, I’m breathing in only to choke
I know I could try, but I won’t (No)

[Pre-Chorus: Patty Walters]
Pack up all my problems ‘til they sear inside my brain
Can’t tell pain from pleasure, but I know they’re not the same
Light up all the candles like it’s time to celebrate
And wish all my problems away

[Chorus: Cody Carson & Patty Walters]
Misery don’t sleep, dying to take back what it gave me
Tragedy comes in threes, third-degree apathy
Misery (Misery) don’t sleep (Don’t sleep), dying to take back what it gave me
Tragedy (Tragedy) comes in threes, third-degree apathy

[Verse 3: JordyPurp]
Trapped in the pits of my mind when I’m stepping outside, I feel lost all the time
I bury my feelings alive, it all comes with a price, it’s I do or I die
When lying is all that I got ‘cause it’s hard to survive when you’re living this life
And death is a bit of a bitch, so I step to the side and I swallow my pride (Oh no)

[Chorus: Cody Carson & Patty Walters]
Misery don’t sleep, dying to take back what it gave me
Tragedy comes in threes, third-degree apathy
Misery (Misery) don’t sleep (Don’t sleep), dying to take back what it gave me
Tragedy (Tragedy) comes in threes, third-degree apathy

[Outro]
(Misery)
Tragedy (Tragedy) comes in threes, third-degree apathy

Menurut para artis, lagu “IN THREES” membahas tentang “spending too much time all alone in your head” (menghabiskan terlalu banyak waktu sendirian di dalam kepalamu).

Dalam keadaan itu, seseorang mulai membangun “an alternate reality, where what’s ‘true’ is twisted and contorted” (realitas alternatif, di mana yang ‘benar’ menjadi terpelintir dan terdistorsi). Setelah sekian lama, realitas buatan itu pun menjadi kenyataan yang sebenarnya, dan akibatnya membuat seseorang merasa “hurt and spiteful and violent and numb” (terluka, penuh kebencian, kasar, dan mati rasa).

Lagu ini digambarkan sebagai “an intensely dark listen, both lyrically and musically” (sebuah karya yang sangat gelap untuk didengarkan, baik secara lirik maupun musik). Metafora kebakaran, asap, dan tragedi yang berulang menggambarkan kehancuran batin dan apati (ketidakpedulian) tingkat tinggi yang dialami narrator.
