On March 30, 2018, BROCKHAMPTON announced that they had signed a record deal under RCA Records.
In the summer of 2018, the group parted ways with vocalist Ameer Vann over accusations of sexual misconduct. Their album which was set for release, titled Puppy, was thrown out after the incident. Three tracks from the album were reworked and released over subsequent weeks throughout the summer, including “1999 Wildfire”, “1998 Truman” and “1997 Diana”

The album marked BROCKHAMPTON's first number-one album, as the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 Chart. The album sold 101,000 copies in its first week and was released just weeks before the band embarked on their first tour without ex-member Ameer.

However, none of these songs were officially released on streaming services due to challenges with sample clearance. This era was dubbed "TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES".
In 2021, BROCKHAMPTON returned with their sixth album, Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine, released on April 9th. The singles for the album included “Buzzcut” and “Count On Me”. The album included features from Danny Brown, JPEGMAFIA, A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, SoGone SoFlexy, Charlie Wilson and Baird.

BROCKHAMPTON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish you cried, too
And lately I'm pressing your time
Shaking, I'm through
Thank you notes came falling out your mouth
Never wished for you to see it
Never what we were about
Look me through that blue
Now you're sinking 'cause the water
Risin' up around your collar
If you wish to call me over
I'd be right around the corner
I'd be in the water with ya
I'd be sinking with you
But you cut your thighs you want me blind
I wish you cried, too
And lately I'm pressing your time
Shaking, I'm through
Stay clear, ah stay clear, ooo
Stay clear, ah ahh stay clear, ooo
Hundred thousand miles gone to form your lie
Comatose and left on a fault line
Hold me back or I'll fall on cold old light
Come to us for fixing your sore mind
Hundred thousand miles gone to form your lie
Comatose and left on a fault line
The fault line the fault line
The fault line, yeah the fault line
The lyrics of BROCKHAMPTON's song "QUIVER" convey a sense of emotional turmoil and strain in a relationship. The first verse suggests self-harm as a way of gaining attention and control, with the line "Cut your thighs you want me blind." The singer expresses a desire for their partner to also shed tears, indicating a need for emotional reciprocity.
The second verse explores the aftermath of the relationship's deterioration. The line "Thank you notes came falling out your mouth" alludes to insincere gratitude and a lack of authenticity in their interactions. It suggests that the relationship was not built on a true connection and that the singer never wanted their partner to witness their vulnerability. The color imagery, specifically the mention of blue eyes, symbolizes the loss of love and emotional numbness in their eyes.
The chorus repeats the lines from the first verse, emphasizing the longing for empathy and understanding. The subsequent lines convey a willingness to endure the hardships with their partner, even if it means sinking alongside them.
In the bridge, the lyrics depict a sense of distance and caution. The repeated phrase "Stay clear" suggests a desire to maintain emotional boundaries and avoid further pain. The following lines hint at the singer's recognition of the lies and manipulation within the relationship. The mention of being "comatose and left on a fault line" metaphorically represents a state of emotional instability and vulnerability, as if walking on shaky ground.

Cut your thighs you want me blind
You deliberately harm yourself to make me unable to see the truth
I wish you cried, too
I hope you would show emotion and vulnerability as well
And lately I'm pressing your time
Recently, I've been demanding your attention and consuming your time
Shaking, I'm through
I am feeling overwhelmed and exhausted
Thank you notes came falling out your mouth
You speak insincerely, pretending to be grateful
Never wished for you to see it
I never wanted you to witness your own insincerity
Never what we were about
We were never truly connected or on the same page
Only color in your eyes when you
The only time you feel alive or interested is when
Look me through that blue
you look at me with your blue eyes
Now you're sinking 'cause the water
Now you're experiencing negative consequences
Risin' up around your collar
that are creeping up and suffocating you
If you wish to call me over
If you want to reach out to me
I'd be right around the corner
I would be close by and willing to help
I'd be in the water with ya
I would be willing to share in your suffering
I'd be sinking with you
I would willingly face the negative consequences alongside you
Stay clear, ah stay clear, ooo
Maintain a safe distance, avoid getting involved
Stay clear, ah ahh stay clear, ooo
Maintain a safe distance, don't get drawn in
Hundred thousand miles gone to form your lie
You have gone to great lengths to construct a deceitful narrative
Comatose and left on a fault line
You are mentally and emotionally unresponsive, stranded on unstable ground
Hold me back or I'll fall on cold old light
Restraining me, or else I will succumb to the harsh reality
Come to us for fixing your sore mind
You seek us to help heal your troubled thoughts
The fault line the fault line
The unstable situation, the source of our problems
The fault line, yeah the fault line
The unstable situation, yes, the fault line

@Joshua-sp1kd
Cut your thighs?
@josephbastidas3561
I'm pretty sure the first line is "cut your ties" but thanks for posting the lyrics 👌
@tiny-pq2cs
Joseph Bastidas Bearface himself says it’s “cut your thighs” on his tumblr, where this song was uploaded in full, the link is in the description
@Joshua-sp1kd
Truuu thanks for linking the Bearface tumblr page I’m finding new songs now <3 I knew if those were the lyrics on Genius they’re probably right. Is it just like someone who self harms but their thighs? That’s what I’ve always thought
@loooooo2
I did cry too, bearface. I cried a lot.
@Isakbruford
If Bearface released a solo album my life would be complete
@nathanielotey2093
Isak Larsson or a joint album with Joba
@max-jk9nk

@gattoplays6024
