Its Ed's brand of punk, or at least one version of it. Sounds good. This song would sound bad with polished vocals.
I guess... I don't necessarily want a polished SOUND.. but a polished product. If he's going for a messy, insecure, chaotic vibe, like he's making it up on the fly, he succeeded
I think that's exactly what he's going for.
yep, and that approach reflects the lyrics (which are similarly anxious and chaotic; I still don't know what they're about)
Focus on your focusness.
case in point, "focusness" isn't a word: the speaker of the song almost sounds like a rambling psychotic person

Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

This may sound far-fetched, but there's a chance that he's doing that on purpose.

It's grown me on somewhat but I'd rank it as a middle of the pack rocker.

Has anyone posted the more official looking lyrics that are floating around the web at the moment? Changes from what we had in red...
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon

I can hear you
Singin' in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once, you were somewhere
And now you're everywhere
I'm feelin' selfish and I want what's right
Ask for forgiveness I beg of myself
Feelin' angry, knock it off the shelf

Right now I feel
A lack of innocence searchin' for reveal
Hypnotonic resonance, I feel
Not much of anything
And the cause is life or death

Don't allow for hopelessness
Focus on your focusness
I've been hopin' that our hope dies last
I don't know anything
I question everything
This life I love is goin' way too fast
Both my hands are swollen
My face is broken
And I'm hopin' that I hurt your
Hopin' that I hurt your
Hopin' that I hurt your fist

She was a stunner and I am stunned
And the first thought and second thought was "could be the one"
I was a prisoner, her keys and her cuffs
Yeah, I was feelin' fortunate to be locked up
But the world kept on spinnin'
Always felt like it was endin'
And love notwithstandin'
We are each of us fucked

I'm in danger (?)
Singin' in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once, you were somewhere
And now you're everywhere
I'm feelin' selfish and I want what's right
Ask for forgiveness I beg of myself
Feelin' angry, knock it off the shelf

Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon
Superblood wolfmoon
Took her away too soon

I can hear you
Singin' in the distance
I can see you when I close my eyes
Once, you were somewhere
And now you're everywhere
I'm feelin' selfish and I want what's right
Focus on your focusness
Don't allow for hopelessness (?)
I've been hopin' that our hope does last
I don't know anything
I question everything
This life I love is goin' way too fast

I think these are pretty much correct now, except for "I'm in danger" which sounds more like "I went [something]", and the last "don't allow for hopelessness" which sounds more like "could allow..."

I'm even more convinced now that the lyrics are the raving reflections of an unstable guy after either making (or missing out on an opportunity to make?) a possibly unwelcome advance on a girl.

So it does! They seem to be transposed from Eddie's handwriting in the artwork (sections not repeated, use of ,..)

I guess we won't know for sure what the "I'm in danger" line actually is until he hear it live...
Superblood Wolfmoon,.. took her away too soon
I can hear ya,.. singing in the distance
I can see ya when I close my eyes

Once you were somewhere,.. and now you’re everywhere
I’m feeling selfish and I want what's right

Ask for forgiveness,.. I beg of myself
Feeling angry, knock it off the shelf

Right now I feel, A lack of innocence
Searching for reveal, hypnotic resonance

But I feel,.. not much of anything
And the cause is life or death

Don’t allow for hopelessness, focus on your focusness
I’ve been hoping that our hope does last

I don’t know anything, I question everything
This life I love is going way too fast

Both my hands are swollen, my face is broken
And I'm hoping that I hurt your,.. Fist

She was a stunner and I am stunned
The first thought and second thought was could be the one

I was a prisoner, her keys and her cuffs
Yeh, I was feeling fortunate to be locked up

But the world was spinning, always felt like it was ending
And love notwithstanding, we are each of us fucked

I can hear ya,..

Superblood Wolfmoon,.. took her away too soon

I can hear ya,.. singing in the distance
I can see ya when I close my eyes

Once you were somewhere,.. and now you're everywhere
I’m feeling selfish and I want what's right

Focus on your focusness, don't allow for hopelessness
I’ve been hoping that our hope does last

I don't know anything, I question everything
This life I love is going way too fast

What a divisive song for one that as I see it could be on any record after Vs. (except for the spritzy opening bars).
