Tendency
Battle (formerly Kiling Moon) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That falls out my mouth
When I throw my arms around you
I love you like family
I love you like you don't know
When I throw my arms around you
Every weekend it's my own advice:
Let me drink myself to death
To forget about the rent
Money gets like a twisted snake, hissing
I'll show you more if you meet me here
Come over come over come over here
This is my only tendency
This is all I have left you see
Will you believe me?
Would you believe me?
Now
You think that it's not enough
Well fella I'm all grown up
It's clear that we don't...
Well I'm moving on and up
But I'm still the boy you knew
The boy who threw his arms around you
If I said:
This is my only tendency
This is all I have left you see
Would you believe me?
Would you believe me?
A healthy man with a healthy plan
My kids will think im a healthy dad
When there's nothing I don't care to mention
Nothing I don't care for
Now be my girl, yeah she is my world
Because she is the best bitch I've ever had
Come over come over come over me
And if I said
This is my only Tendency
Would you believe me?
Would you believe me?
Cause I mean everything
That falls out my mouth
I love you like family
I love you like you don't know
But I'm moving on and up
But I'm still the boy you knew
The boy who threw him arms around you
The boy who threw his arms around you
The boy who threw his arms around you
The lyrics of "Tendency" by Battle (formerly Killing Moon) seem to be about the singer's undeniable love and devotion for someone who may not reciprocate those same feelings with the same intensity. The person in question is someone the singer is familiar with, given that they describe their love for this individual as being like that of family. The singer seems to be acknowledging that they are flawed and may not always make the best decisions, as they mention drinking themselves to death to forget about the rent. However, they find solace in the fact that they still have their tendency to love this person, even if it seems like the only thing they have left.
The chorus of the song, where the singer says "This is my only tendency, this is all I have left you see," is a cry for understanding and acceptance from the person they love. The singer may believe that this tendency is not enough for this person, but they are still hopeful that they will believe them and see that their love is genuine. The last part of the song seems to be the singer's effort to move on and up while still remembering the person they love.

@PootisPlayer
i am certain that multiple interpretations of the quote exist and this is the most accurate so far
japanese use T for things like 'Tsugi'
so yeah i'm certain you aren't a descendent of the japanese race
to further add, this was in the romaji quote IN-GAME when Joseph actually says it
and finally, i'm pretty sure this is just a comment that shouldn't be taken into the highest regard of attempting to correct it when it's just a dumb yet funny meme that people are going to enjoy
so yeah, i think i've made my point since Joseph is my favorite JoJo
