The song Rx Contender The Pretender by Hopesfall explores the idea of relationships and how they are sometimes a reaction to feeling indifferent. The lyrics talk about a wedding where everything seems perfect but there are underlying tensions and doubts. The narrator brings out the rum to ease the tension and mask the issues. The chorus talks about how some love is a devotion to indifference, which can be interpreted as settling for something that may not be entirely fulfilling. The song also touches on the idea of social pressure and expectation, and how people often put on a front to fit in. The lyrics "We buccaneered our mild manners just to be here" suggest that the narrator and their partner may not be completely true to themselves in order to be accepted in the social sphere. The song ends with the line "I'm sensing something...", leaving the listener with a sense of unease and suggesting that there may be more to the story than what is being presented.
