"Blood Oath" is such an important song to me. Especially when I listened to the demo & then the rehearsal snippet posted on Starkid's Instagram.
In the snippet of the chorus we hear in the demo, Sammy and Kevin sing "No matter what, I'm YOUR best friend." They are declaring themselves as the other's best friend, something that would've been a given for them when they were younger. And then Kevin bankrupts their business and it and their relationship blows up.
But Lauren and Joey in the reel sing, "No matter what, you're MY best friend."
After everything that's happened between them, Kevin and Sammy are going to have their fair share of sweet, sour, salty and an all array of flavored moments between them during the show. Kevin probably isn't certain where they stand, or he knows and he wants to try and amend it. And that line, "you're MY best friend" is, hopefully, what they'll sing when the duo makes up.
"I'm your best friend" is the given, and "you're my best friend," is the reassurance, the acknowledgement of the relationship after everything that's happened and the steps taken toward improvement.
