Imagine you are one of Mussolini's soldier's and you hear some dudes playing this tune. You have no idea what it symbolises so you sort of tap along to the music. Next thing you know the speed doubles, the singer starts singing the lyrics ("ormai sicura è la dura sorte del fascista vile traditor", "already certain is the harsh fate of the vile treasonous fascist.") and a bunch of dudes are dragging you off, gagged and blindfolded, to be tortured by the resistance.

It's like the textbook case of nice guy syndrome.

I doubt he's feeling entitled for sex from her or something. Seriously it's like the most simple song, you can't read that much into it. Like I imagine the story is like, Milo really likes a girl, but she's dating some abusive douchebag, and she's constantly crying to Milo about it. I think it's pretty normal for him to think "I really wish she would feel the same way about me, I could treat her so much better". Honestly it's like the most cliche and typical high school problem anyone can think of. It's not sexist, it's just teenager shit.

The entire scenario makes Milo seem like a massive sexist though. On top of that it's not even clear whether the other guy is a dickbag or if Milo just sees him that way through jealousy. If the latter then there are huge stalker vibes emanating from Milo like the halo of a creepy saint.

Idunno, but despite the possibly creepy vibes, it's a good, catchy song. Along with the rest of the album. Bikeage is like the best song ever
