Getting Into Knives, 2020
Written by John Darnielle
This song is a satirical jab at someone who puts ego and ambition above all else. "Light up the sky like a comet / Make yourself want to vomit / Shine like a cursed star . Show everybody exactly who you are." Darnielle delivers the words this one with more emotion than typical, and the song is punched up with sharp, bluesy brass lines, giving it a full sound. The song references Wesley Willis, whom Darnielle explained he uses as inspiration to write second-person, accusatory songs.
