Lyrics:
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
imma smile right through it
And I’ll scream when no one’s around
Something’s wrong
But I’m scared to look it up
If I do that
And no one has it
I’ll feel so alone
Something’s wrong
But don’t pity me for long
If you get sad
Then I’ll feel bad
That I told you at all
I got friends in a lotta weird places
Wonder if they’re gonna call
Depending what my face is
What my face is
I could fake it
I could move away or I could
Suck it up and face it
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
imma smile right through it
And I’ll scream when no one’s around
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
There’s a big crowd looking
Imma scream when no one’s around
Look outside
They’re making snowmen on your street
Underneath your pillow
You can sigh yourself to sleep
Look outside
They’re making snowmen on your street
Hide behind your pillow
Close the window
Cause you know you can’t be seen
I got friends in a lotta weird places
Wonder if they’re gonna call depending
What my face is
If I can’t breathe
Then you can’t see
But aren’t you excited that I’m giving you
The best me?
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
imma smile right through it
And I’ll scream when no one’s around
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
There’s a big crowd looking
Imma scream when no one’s around
If I try
To keep my tears in my eyes
Would you like me
Would you like me
Would you like me
I got shows in a lot of weird places
Wonder if they’re gonna come depending
What my face is
Remember Vegas
I can’t take another panic episode
When I get off the stage, man
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
imma smile right through it
And I’ll scream when no one’s around
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
There’s a big crowd looking
Imma scream when no one’s around
“Screw it, I’mma smile right through it” is SO CATCHY
You realise the song is about suicide
@@BlackCARNAGE what the! wow I just realized it! hahaha
@@BlackCARNAGE a catchy song about suicide
@@yummynubs3646 needed this 😅
Ок...
“But aren’t you excited that I’m giving you the best me?” That is so ridiculously and uncomfortably relatable.
Best line in the song
@@genevieve256 i love the way he says it too. “BEST me.” he sounds so broken 😭
@@rebeliloz5894 YES ME TOO😭THE EMPHASIS ON THE WORD BEST
I literally read this comment right when I heard that line in the song 😂
I relate to that quote way too much sometimes-
You can hear so much pain and emotion in the line “Another panic episode when I get off the stage man.” Chills.
Read this comment as the line played in the song.
omg there is
Yo I love the way this line was delivered. The rasp at the end of the line sounded as if it were the pressure of an accumulating scream. Yet it was still being held back. Gosh I love it.
Is it referencing to something?
@@kurokishi5532 he’s referencing his panic episode after he broke his ankle during a Vegas show
how can someone turn a nursery rhyme into an heartfelt adult song 😭
Yeah, lyn lapid did the same too
nursery rhyme?

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the king's horses and the all the king's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

AJR: The band that makes upbeat songs about depression
Every English teacher ever: "Write that down! Write that down!"
Hey ya has entered the chat
21 pilots in a nutshell
Thats why I love them so much, they're songs literally make me understand myself better
@@zeinam.2346 exactly I wanted to cry during this so bad because it describes me and so many people so well
I love how AJR makes great songs that sound uplifting but are really about serious topics.
Yea, I agree. They really make you think.
@@joeyhoff2574 Yea, I also agree. They really make you wonder.
Yea ikr I love it too
Like socks
Ye
“He said screw it, there’s a big crowd looking, I’m a scream when no one’s around” - That cut deep yet somehow was positive
I've never heard anything better than this song so much goodness in this song
AJR: The band that can make a song about Humpty Dumpty an upbeat, catchy song about depression and have it work perfectly.
“Imma smile right through it and I’m gonna scream when no ones around” these lyrics man, they hit hard
IKR I felt that
@Ayda Longueil "I can't take another panic episode, when I get off the stage" Why is this me but in school
Yeah I've been smiling through it all of my life
working in retail/food be like
The Humpty Dumpty part doesn’t hit hard though
The overture showed me this would be a great song, so far the overture wasn’t lying!
Omg LMAO. I've seen you in every comment section on every song of the album so far. I just think that's so freaking funny. It also makes me feel less alone listening to the entire album 😊
@@Goose06 No wayyyy I commented on all of them to see if anyone would notice lmao. And you know it! All of us in this comment section share something in common and it’s our love for AJR!
@@doug7210 omg I've seen you too :D
@@doug7210 same lol
@@doug7210 yeah I liked all your comments so far 😂
I did not think a nursery rhyme could be transformed into an extremely relatable, heartbreaking song about hiding pain to make others more comfortable in your presence.
"Aren't you excited that I'm giving you the best me?"
"I can't take another panic episode when I get off this stage, man"
these 2 lines hit hard
THOSE LINES ARE SO GOOD
I believe AJR said that this song isn’t about a broken egg, but a broken heart
I think it's about being broken period like it's not just one or a specific thing.
No one said humpty dumpty was an egg...
This song isn’t about a broken heart at all
@@zoebates1174 true
You are cancelled now for classifying poor humpty
I got new music to listen to on repeat. Could give Way Less Sad a moment to rest now.
I can now leave neotheater in peace....for now atleast
Ikr
Same hahah
Lmao
Never lol
I relate to this so much. I feel like I can’t show people that I have other emotions aside from the whole “happy” character. Especially with people where I worry about how they view me. I smile through so many social situations where I’m on the verge of a breakdown.
Preach bro, exact same
I feel both of you. In my school, I feel like a ghost, almost nobody notices me (unless I have to move out of the way)
Same, I have paranoia, which has caused me to isolate myself from my friends unless they invite me to something so sometimes I’m trying to hide my tears as I’m convinced they only invited me out of politeness
Same, bro
This is literally me all the time, I just feel depressed all the time, I'm just used to pretending to be happy all the time and I just feel like lying down and just staying there
i think this is about getting hurt (psychically/emotionally) and having to hide it from friends and family. and not knowing whats actually wrong with you. and they use humpty dumpty as a metaphor. when he falls and breaks, he has to be "normal" and fit into society and pretend nothing is wrong. in conclusion, this song fucking bops
This is like anxiety confused talking about their problems but with the intention of not bothering 💔
me in a nutshell
Then when you open up your brain does this
🧠: *Omg they hate you now, they'll get tired of having to deal with your problems and leave you for someone that is so much better than you*
@@LumaEclipse I hate how accurate that is please stop
@@LumaEclipse Why must you pinpoint my exact thoughts talking to a new person or even a friend I have known for years
@@jacklyntree7752 it's only the truth :)
Never thought I'd add a song named after an egg to my playlist, but here we are
🥚
Same
I said this on a different comment, but like no one said humpty dumpty was an egg...
@@zoebates1174 i always assumed it was so kids didn’t visualize what happens if a human actually did fall from very high up it would be similar to an egg though!
@@pugzzzplay88 doesn't make it any less disturbing
The thing thats the best about all of AJR's songs is that there's almost always a deeper meaning, which is really where it hits you once you realize the meaning.
That's what I love about their music.
I like your pfp by the way! :D
@Nikita Muntean i mean like that one is simple, Ryan wrote it after getting rejected and its about his future kid he wants to have
It took me embarrassing long to figure out what my play ment, I realized after I watched the music video
This is literally childrens music
You say that bc you hate pain about this song
I think the fact that the song musically doesn’t sound sad but has sad lyrics really expresses it’s theme of seeming fine when really you’re sad.
True. Very smart move.
That is OK orchestra
AJR is quickly becoming my most favorite band.
It isn’t already? Who is btw?
Good lol.
I don’t think there are many with this kind of originality
Same
big relate
I remember when ajr was becoming my favourite band haha. Now I think nobody can take this position from them
A certified hood classic.
that's hilarious but real messed up
I can confirm this claim.
The hood is a realizing depression is something that is acceptable to discuss and deal with and that it doesn't make the hood inferior or less than. Certified hood classic indeed my friend.
EDIT: Sure.... We're not happy yet, but.....
@@MrCanscorleo215 are ya way less sad, son?
A lot of AJR songs, like Humpty Dumpty and Don't Throw Out My Legos, don't exactly connect with me on the first listen. But whenever I decide to give it another chance, I realize "oh dang, these songs slap!" Also this song is like top 5 on the album
Exactly. That’s why I give AJR’s songs second or third chances. I also try to comprehend the lyrics. It’s worth it.
I've been depressed for the last 7 months or so, and although there's been a few bright spots, most of it has been very dark and hopeless. For the last month, however, I've been completely numb. For me, it's been much scarier to not feel something when you know you should than it is to feel depressed.
For the first time in a month, I've felt an emotion, thanks to this song. This is a perfect example of why I like AJR better than 99% of other artists. Their songs convey emotions, and they actually have a message behind their catchy af beats. Thanks you
Stay strong, you'll get through it!
@@Lobster1909 Thanks :)
Are u any better now
@@toshiaki3126 I am, although it still comes back from time to time.
I'm proud of you. You're still here and that's all that matters. I'm here for you as well as everyone else.
These lyrics hit like a fucking semi-truck
No kidding
Yea I’m literally crying
FUCKING SEMI TRUCK😂😂😂
They hit like an egg falling onto the ground at high speeds after falling off a wall.
@@ryantalley5284 yes
"But aren’t you excited that I’m giving you
the best me?" Man.
this is an album that expresses how people keep saying they're ok even though they really aren't. it's also reflected on the album cover, on the left side is how you want others to see you that you're fine, ur all bright and wonderful and on the right side is you're true feelings where everything seems so void of emotion. the songs are upbeat because they're trying to hide how the lyrics are actually sad and far from happy at all. nothing to see here just another episode of ajr making me feel emotional and vividly aware of my thoughts and feelings all of a sudden
wait true
To go further in depth, the song could be about how AJR acts happy on camera or whatever we see them but off-camera they might not be so happy. For example Jack has a therapist. I love this album because it’s very relatable and because it’s just all around amazing
You’re completely right. AJR confirmed that both this song was from jacks pov,just like karma,and that he does indeed suffer from panic attacks and anxiety. In Ryans direct words: “its about jacks struggle with showing his feelings as a regular person,yet balancing his life as an artist. Do you cry in front of people,or does that ruin the magic? It even adresses his struggle with anxiety and a panic attack he had on stage. It was a very vulnerable moment”
I really do feel bad for them sometimes

This is one of those AJR songs where the singer genuinely feels like they're sobbing angrily into the microphone while singing.

u mean Jack?
@starstruck 04 is that Ryan singing in the second verse?
completelyyyyyyyyy
Really?!
this is literally the most mood song, knowing something is very wrong with you, but not wanting to waste anyone’s time. this is most definitely my favorite song on the album, i love you ajr!
How is Ajr always able to produce bangers that really capture these obscure emotions perfectly? Anyways I know what I'll be listening to on repeat now
"aren't you excited that i'm giving you the best me?" how can i relate to them and marvel at how they think about life on such a different level then me at the same time like duuuuuuude

Everyone talking about how they produce this kinda music, meanwhile im just sitting here choking back tears cause I really needed this.
This song is touching and relatable to so many people in the world today, which is why ajr will always be one of my favourite artists.
One of my favorite things about this song is that in some points of the song you can hear the desperation in Jack's voice, almost like a cry for help (1:49 , 2:54) If you listen to it, you can hear that he's almost scream-crying the lyrics. Like he's actually been through everything he's talking about. I really hope Jack is okay. It sounds like he sung it like that, not to make it sound relatable, but it sounds like pure raw feeling. It sounds like he's about to have the panic attack he was talking about.

I love how they just straight up tell us how they handle all the stagelife
"Remember Vegas? I can't handle another panoc episode when I go down"
Through the catchy song kt's sometimes hard to understand all the importance of some lines
All three of them love being on stage. Jack broke his ankle on stage and had a panic attack, so that’s what he was referencing

@@rohansheshadri7208 perfection is relative- if u think youve done your best,thats enough!
I- i cannot begun to express how this song makes me feel. I genuinely feel this way everyday. I’m pretty sure I may be depressed, but I’m scared to look it up or talk about it, because if I do that, and it’s true, it’ll just make me feel worse. I don’t want any of my friends or family to know about it because I don’t want them to worry. It really is the worst feeling.
I feel like this literally NEARLY all the time everyday, I just get stuck inbetween telling them and not, if I say, they mighy worry, but if I don't, then I worry about myself.
I feel so stuck all the time on what I do.
Me too man
Know you’re not alone in this struggle. You don’t have to tell your family or friends if you don’t want to, but that doesn’t mean you have to go through it by yourself. I wish you strength and healing, and I hope you feel comfortable enough to seek help if you feel it’s needed. Take good care of yourself. ❤
Youre not alone. Keep your head up, and get through every day, one at a time. You have support!
I know I don't have any issues. But.... The line "He said screw it, I'ma smile right through it and scream when no-one's around." is genuinely the day-by-day rule I have for myself. Being sad makes other people sad. It makes you less fun to be around. I always want social interactions every day, but sometimes it can get so overwhelming to 'fake a smile' (Bit exaggerated here), and stop yourself from showing obvious signs of sadness. I'd rather have people think I'm always happy, than always sad. I'm now beginning to think that might've been a mistake.
For everything in this album I listened to it at base value and went “huh”. Then I would give it another try and realize that ajr not only knows exactly how my brain works, but also exactly how to represent it to me in song. A lot of people said that this song is about depression and suicide but I think that at least to me, it represents how I don’t want to trouble other people with my problems. In the event that they would try to fix me like how I try to fix everybody else.
This is a perspective I had not thought about that makes complete sense.
The person who disliked this was obviously just confused and clicked the like button upside down
It’s just the Australians
@@cavbucky hahaha

@@cavbucky dang I was gonna say it but alas you beat me

Honestly thought it would be my favorite based off the title and that may be the only thing I’ve gotten right in my entire life
me too!! i was like “whoa childish?” THIS IS ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE
Same.
same thing hahahaha
something ive learned from listening to ajr is you do not judge the song by the title.
I doubt you read these but I want to thank you Ajr. I grew up in a religious cult and I had a hard time explaining and processing my emotions and mindset after leaving. Your songs have helped me process my deconstruction of the crap they taught me.
I feel like this is the perfect song to scream in your car all alone
probably will scream when no one's around

Friend
Humpty Dumpty was a memory brought into my mind
3:00 you can hear Jack’s pain in this whole last verse but especially this last bit of it.
I love but also hate that part so much, just how relatable it is, but the scale they feel that must be so high
Isn't this also referencing the scare they had during their Neotheater tour? Definitely would be scary
@@mckennabrockway9855 what happened?
@@lieaparisss08 someone in the audience had a medical emergency during the concert. Saw it in the Neotheater World Tour Doc ep. 2 video.
@@mckennabrockway9855 not quite. They did confirm that jack suffers from panic attacks and really bad anxiety and said that he had multiple panic attacks on stage and after shows. Looking at some articles and taking karma in consideration it was probably during 2017/18 and the click tours,and that medical emergency happened in 2019 during the neotheater tour
This has the best cadence of any chorus I've ever heard.
"Hе said screw it
There’s a big crowd looking
Imma scrеam when no one, when no one, when no one’s around"
melodic perfection
My friend just texted me that she didn’t want to be friends, time to listen to this on repeat. If I hold the pillow on my face long enough, no one will hear me crying.
@Meliora Thanks a lot. This actually makes me feel better. But here’s an update: she’s had some time to think things over and, I THINK we’re cool again. Can’t be too sure. I should try to get my mind off of it in case things change, but I’ll keep you posted
Same. It really hurts because I always thought we'd be friends forever. I was so stupid
I just wanna thank Adam for constantly reminding Ryan and Jack to work on this song :")
Why did Adam have specific faith in this song? Was there some doubt behind the scenes with Jack and Ryan?
i've felt incredibly numb the past week and have been dissociating a lot lately. this song has helped me remember that i’m not alone and that just because i feel numb right now it can get better. thank you ajr.
U good now
yes (:
being a perfectionist/people pleaser/ therapist for all my friends, this song perfectly encapsulates all the pressures i feel on pretty much a daily basis. i feel like i’m putting a burden on anyone i tell my problems to, so i keep them all to myself and then i feel worse, and i’m super stressed/pressured from school,but i put on an act of happiness. this song is my favorite song by far.
This is so relatable, man
Gonna play this on repeat until I am out of the dark place that I am in
this is probably one of my favorite songs by AJR🙂

That's what Overture is for
that’s what an album is
POV. You’re mad you didn’t know they came out with new songs sooner even tho you find out only 15 hours after they came out
"I can't take another panic episode when I get off the stage, man" reminds me of the first panic attack I ever had. I was in Nashville performing with my high school concert band and I had a bad panic attack the day after we performed. It's been quite the ride and I've had many more panic attacks since then, but I've learned to control them. Thanks AJR, your art has helped me through so much.
Am I the only one literally balling my eyes out to this song over and over 🥲✋🏽
Nope
yes, definitely
Don't listen to it if you don't like it!!
@@asenathclarke It's not abt that they don't like it. It means the lyrics and the song overall made them cry a lot because it is relatable.
No, im also crying
The melody and the rhythm sound so happy and joyful
But the lyrics just have a heavy dark meanings to it
"I cant take another panic attack when I get off the stage man" I could feel that fucking line
The way Jack exaggerates his voice when he says “I can’t take another panic episode when I get off the stage, man.” Is just amazing and I wish he did it more in there songs.
Obviously the people who disliked this song are trying to smile right through it
no i just have properly functioning ears
@@binkym600 Why are you even here if you hate the band so much. That makes no sense to me.

Omg wait. Yeah so, I don't know if you're thinking what I'm thinking- but suicide. It'd make sense with the whole song. I could be totally wrong though, don't get mad at me lol.
(What I'm saying is that he killed himself, cutting his life short just like the song.)
why come to a comment section just to be rude?
@@cheetah2601 That's what I thought too!
christ man, I miss my friends.
it's not like they died or anything, they're all alive and well. it's just that I've pushed all of them away. I feel like I've expended all the good friends I can have in life and now all I have are dishonest, disloyal and honestly two-faced "friends". I dunno man, call it nostalgia or homesickness but I just miss how things were.
take care out there, it's a cold world out there
Hang in there buddy, hope things get better for you.
I didn't realise it until now, but I think I've figured out what the best line of this song is. It first appears in the first few measures of the song. "Okay." It comes right after the first "he said screw it I'mma smile right through it and I'll scream when no one's around".
When you first listen to the song it just sounds like a sound that they put in during production to fill space (and it might be). But I think that it has a deeper meaning. It's about the way people will just fake a smile and, even when it's glaringly obvious that they're hurting anyway, society will turn a blind eye to their pain.
I think that everybody has done this at some point, and has probably had it done to them. We've all watched somebody in pain, seen them flash a smile and say it's all good, and then walked away. Most of us have probably had someone tell us their woes, and it's clear that they need help. Sometimes we're the ones to give it to them, but often we'll just laugh it off because we're too scared to do so, and they don't want to ask for help outright. On the other hand, everyone has also had this done to them - and have been grateful for it.
Because, to be honest, it's scary to ask for help. There's always the fear of being shunned, or being told that you're overdramatic, or realising that you didn't need to be scared in the first place, and feeling stupid for it. When you ask for help you have to confront your issues, which is one of the scariest things in the world. It's scary to help people, too, because then you could mess up, and hurt them more. Or maybe you won't know what to do when it matters, and you'll feel stupid and you won't even have been helpful.
Then, the song just continues on, just like the world keeps moving no matter what happens in it. Even if you're hurting, even if you're struggling, even if you just had a life-changing interaction (not necessarily for you, though), the earth keeps spinning. Everybody has to go on to the next verse.
In short, it's about how people will just say "ok" to the fucked-up-ness of the world.
oooooorrr maybe I'm overanalyzing and it has absolutely no significance. who am I to say? anyhow, sorry for the long comment. I hope this didn't make anyone sad. if you got this far, have the best day you possibly can and get yourself something nice. here's a heart for you if you don't feel like finding someone to hug right now
JESUS CHRIST you don't need to write a 20000000000 word essay
i can’t be only one who heard “screw you when no ones around” on the first listen through in the overture... right??
I thought I was crazy
😳
ME TOO LMAOOO
@@rebeliloz5894 ME TOOO BRO
Y’alls brains said ;))
I used to be scared of the original nursery rhyme. Something about a living thing getting mangled beyond repair and being visibly upset about it was unsettling to little kid me. Then this song comes along and uses it as symbolism so beautifully. Thank you for helping me get over my little phobia
“Remember Vegas!
I can't take another panic episode
When I get off the stage, man!”
One of my favorite lines.
I’ve been doing a lot of presentations lately for my job, and I always get so nervous and freak out the day before. I love doing them though, so it’s always made me feel like the only one with anxiety doing something they love.
I hate that others feel that way too, but it helps knowing I’m not alone. Thank you for this, AJR
AJR: Names it Ok Orchestra
Everyone Ever: IT'S AMAZING ORCHESTRA
“Aren’t you excited, cause I’m giving you the best me?” Towards the end his voice sounded emotionally raw (especially on the word ‘best’ and ‘man’) wonderful job, AJR!
I heard this in the overture and had to listen to this one as soon as possible
SAME!!!!
Yes but it literally took me forever to find it
This song is is so uplifting when I’m depressed. It helps just to smile right through it and scream when no one’s around. It’s so heart felt. ❤❤❤
"if i cant breathe then you cant see, but arent you excited that im giving you the BEST me" is hands down the best line in the song so much raw emotion behind it its amazing
*”he said screw it imma smile right through it and I’ll scream when no one’s around”*
1 year and I have yet to find a more relatable lyric
lyrics if you prefer comments
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
imma smile right through it
And I’ll scream when no one’s around
Something’s wrong
But I’m scared to look it up
If I do that
And no one has it
I’ll feel so alone
Something’s wrong
But don’t pity me for long
If you get sad
Then I’ll feel bad
That I told you at all
I got friends in a lotta weird places
Wonder if they’re gonna call
Depending what my face is
What my face is
I could fake it
I could move away or I could
Suck it up and face it
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
imma smile right through it
And I’ll scream when no one’s around
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
There’s a big crowd looking
Imma scream when no one’s around
Look outside
They’re making snowmen on your street
Underneath your pillow
You can sigh yourself to sleep
Look outside
They’re making snowmen on your street
Hide behind your pillow
Close the window
Cause you know you can’t be seen
I got friends in a lotta weird places
Wonder if they’re gonna call depending
What my face is
If I can’t breathe
Then you can’t see
But aren’t you excited that I’m giving you
The best me?
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
imma smile right through it
And I’ll scream when no one’s around
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
There’s a big crowd looking
Imma scream when no one’s around
If I try
To keep my tears in my eyes
Would you like me
Would you like me
Would you like me
I got shows in a lot of weird places
Wonder if they’re gonna come depending
What my face is
Remember Vegas
I can’t take another panic episode
When I get off the stage, man
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
imma smile right through it
And I’ll scream when no one’s around
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
There’s a big crowd looking
Imma scream when no one’s around
(also i write songs inspired by Jeremy Zucker/Lauv. I'd love if you give a shot to my music and subscribe 'cause most probably you won't regret
Thanks for the lyrics! Did anyone else notice that the “To keep my tears in my eyes - would you like me” section is missing in the song or can I just not hear that part?
@@kels_878 2:27
@@OT3S Is it in the background under the music?
@@kels_878 yea at 2:27 that sound is like a distorted voice saying those lyrics
@@benaug2071 oh gotcha ok! I’ll just have to enjoy the music over top of it 😭😅
I love how their music can fit with anyone and any mood. Also, that they talk about real topic that fans can relate to. They also aren't like other artists because they haven't let fame change them or their music.
Humpty Dumpty went Humpty Dumpty went Humpty Dumpty went down those lyrics really hit hard
This song reminds me of when i was a kid and my dad taught me that crying was bad and so i would never cry (I'm afab, assigned female at birth, but I'm nonbinary, so it wasn't my dad trying to make me be masculine or anything). I have a lot of trauma because of my dad and to this day it's still hard to get me to cry during movies (that was like the biggest thing for me about not being allowed to cry? Like i was confused as a kid why people cried during movies when my dad taught me crying was bad). Really the lyric "if i try to keep my tears in my eyes would you like me?", that just hits so hard for me.
my FAM did the same what the fuck
My parents never really did that, but one of the only things I will cry about is my Grandpa David (because he died years ago) and I loved him.
When I said he said “screw it I’ll smile right now and scream when no one is around” I felt that
0:08
I can really relate to entire “scream when no ones around “ message. Love the song
AJR’s songs are simply the best, I don’t know what else I can say.
I know I'm late, but this song really hit home when I listened to the album again yesterday.
The portrayal of having to show your best self and showing your happy face resonated with me every time I go to school.
And when I tell people this they start pitying which makes it worse, I can only confide this with one person, but recently she started to resent me because of it.
Now I have no one to talk to, I hope this'll be part of my 100 bad days to share with everyone
said this on 'OK Orchestra', but again now I have to figure out some imaginary storyline with my characters that is relevant to my preexisting story... wish me luck /:
Oh mood
Balance of a ever expanding personal life and musical career/ proving your musical talent as a legitimate career? That's what I'm getting at least
See ya soldier
@CommandThePiety
yeah
@@RiptidePen
thank you
My favorite part of the song "if I cant breath then you cant see but aren't you excited that im giving you the best me!"
Nobody but AJR can make a really, really deep song and call it “Humpty Dumpty”
yeah and a super ketchy song called "Joe"
The line if you get sad then I’ll feel bad that I told you at all is just so perfect
Damn this song is amazing
I barely heard this and I already love it as I do with all of their songs. Great work to everyone who worked on this.
“If I can’t breathe Then you can’t see But aren’t you excited that I’m giving you The best me”, that’s got to be one of If not the most relatable things AJR has ever said. 😭😭😭
but aren't you excited that I'm giving you the best me ? that line breaks me everytime
AJR always manages to make songs with emotional lyrics that are absolute bops oh my😔
This is the most underrated song of all time
This song literally discibes my life at this moment. I love AJR
I'm an older adult and so many of their songs speak to me. When he talks about the panic episode it really hits me to my core.
When I first heard this song, I didn’t really like it because I couldn’t understand what it meant. But I think I do now, and now I fucking love this song
I didn't super love this one at first, but listening to the lyrics...... god, it's too relatable
I love how AJR reaches out to the people who are feeling this. AJR any song I could memorize, THEY'RE SO GOOD!! AJR my family was on your latest concert we were singing our hearts out, the neighbors probably thought we wereo crazy.
if you are slowly going depressed like me
i hope this lightens your mood
your not lonely
you are perfect how you are
if you think everybody hats you fight the voices
don't try to be someone else
don't pick fights if there is no reason
if you don't have enough courage to stand up do what you love
don't hate yourself there is no reason.
