White

The title is a direct reference to Lieseil, since Bartholomew White is Lieseil’s birth name. The phrase ‘white lie’ is a common idiom, which ties to Lieseil’s excessive lies and manipulation.
‘Lies, your dirty lies’/’The white lies you told’ – direct reference to Lieseil’s lies, and Palaye’s resentment to them.
‘Don’t be so scared to be yourself’ – a message to the citizens of Obsidian (who are still under the controlling reign of Lieseil and Warhol), and Palaye trying to get the citizens to join the revolution.
‘Happy alone’ – a quotation used by emerson, seen in some of his art in the Introvert Collection.
‘My black soul turns to white’ – Palaye leaving Obsidian Island when Lieseil manipulates them with his lies, therefore becoming white, and on his side – links to the colour theory.

‘She’s just the woman that keeps me warm at night’ – link to Mrs Infamous, who keeps Palaye/Remington content by giving him hope and fulfillment.

‘Children with white flags in the air’/’and I’m so scared’ – children surrendering to Lieseil, and Remington/Palaye being fearful that the island will remain under Lieseil/Warhol’s control.
‘Take my money but not my soul’ – offering money as a truce to Lieseil, so Lieseil doesn’t further manipulate Remington/Palaye, and strip them of their individuality. This is also the last line in the album, which means that it could be a last resort out of desperation. Similar to All My Friends and Where is the Boom.
It is also a direct counterpart to Lord of Lies.
