Analysis from a Tron/Ram brainrot viewpoint

By the extremely overactive Pattern Recognizer

Of lyrics by fall out boy

(the boy who fell out.)

(of the lightcycle & died)

(or something)

gonna make it bend and break, it sent you to me without wings

(“you” could be either Tron (without wings to escape) or Flynn (without wings to indicate divinity) but either way there is a desire to bend and break the MCP)

Say a prayer but let the good times roll

(faith in the users while being a fun-loving program at heart)

In case God doesn’t show

(do you think the users are still there?)

Words come to life

(users wrote us)

Who does he think he is?

(there’s something different about him)

If that’s the worst you got better put your fingers back to the keys

(go back to typing code, you weird hacker god)

the least clearly connected part of the song even though it’s the most repeated

if this is ram’s deresolution/little-deresolution/whatever weird pleasure he was feeling as he disintegrated in Flynn’s arms

Does he mean Tron tasted like Flynn but sweeter, or the other way around

we’ll never know

Been looking forward to the future

But my eyesight is going bad

And this crystal ball

Its cloudy except for when you look into the past

(Actuarial math is the calculation of probability)

(the closer you are to the thing you’re trying to predict probability of, the more sure the prediction)

(and if it’s bad, the worse the clouds look in that crystal ball)

(future didn’t look great for him and he knew it)

Largely metaphorical here because hotel rooms and removable clothes are not part of his world probably

But crunching numbers definitely is

And this part is just about Ram being a slut

What the hell are page six lovers

Who knows

I always heard it as paychecks and lovers which makes more sense for his weird little finance software version of sluttiness

Anyway

…thanks for the random access memories

…

shit. 4 hours later and the pattern recognizer is saying this could be bigger than just Ram/Tron/Flynn

Ram was never involved in any literal “tasting” of anybody but Tron and Yori were. The chorus absolutely could be about The Kiss

And the bridge? (the… jeff bridge … shut up pattern reco)

That becomes less metaphorical (well, still no hotel rooms but definitely removable clothes!) when you make it about the Flynntervention at the beginning, and how Flynn responds by stripping himself half naked for Alan

Which of them is saying which of the lines? And why? So many possibilities

…i am NOT GONNA MAKE another music video right now i have TOO MUCH ELSE to do
