Discover the story of the song > Teenage Tears – Arkells

The protagonist sings about how he couldn't be true to himself or his partner, always hiding behind his headphones to tune out his own thoughts. His partner showed him her vulnerabilities, and he promised to turn his camera off and be real with her. However, he messed up and now feels like he's drowning in 'teenage tears', while his partner has left him with a note. He wonders if he was ever genuine with her and is now going through the process of changing his passwords and address.
