Lyrics:
Waking up your neighbors downstairs
I've been inside your bedroom a thousand years
And as you tie me to the bed for good I say
That I want you in the most unromantic ways
Louisiana, You're torturing me with a beautiful face
Anna, come on, I thought we had a damn good thing
A penny in the couch and a diamond ring
So, baby, stay away from my friends
Because I need them to carry me when it's over
I'll count back from ten and you can listen to glass hearts shattering
I don't know how you get into me
Down my throat and made a home in my veins
They used to be the rivers that would take us away
Now you only call me every Christmas and my birthday
I still can't believe how you look next to me
Just like a strip club bedroom scene
Baby, stay away from my friends
Because I need them to carry me when it's over
I'll count back from ten
And you can Listen to something that you've never heard before
Oh, never heard before.
But you don't know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night
Scaring the thought of kissing razors
This blood evacuation is telling me to cave in
Just stay away from my friends
#piercetheveil #selfishmachines
I hate that you can only hear this song for the first time once. I was 15 and hooked, I'm almost 21 now and still chasing that feeling. Sometimes there's beauty in the sadness.
There is. You’re young though. You’ll find it
I know exactly what u mean dude
also why I like to listen to these gems every once in a while
@@clxrr502 I'll be 22 in 2 days and honestly I've found myself relating to these songs a lot more now than I ever have before. It's like they've taken a completely new meaning in a way
they are memories bro, & same I just turned 21 these songs always bring me back to my younger teen years!
This song really describes how self harm and depression can ruin you, and no matter how much people try to help you you feel like a burden. "this blood evacuation is telling me to cave in" SOBBING
I'd think a lot more people would be here. Hello everyone who saw this by the way! Have a nice day!
I thought the same I hope you have a great day
It's an old song.
The audio was already posted on youtube under the bands channel.
Idk why their old label decided to post it again...to get money maybe 👀
You too! :0
🤪
a year late but you too!
When I was 14, my best friend killed herself. Pierce the Veil was one of the things that brought us together in the first place, we both had a PTV t shirt... we were friends for years & she showed me this song & at the time I didn't really appreciate it for what it is & now I get it way more then I ever wanted too & listen too it still 10 years later when my entire music taste has changed. I love you Kenzie, forever & always.
My gf at 14 passed away, hold on till may was the song for her.
“But you don’t know what it’s like to wake up in the middle of the night scaring the thought of kissing razors” welp that hit too close to home🥺💔
Fr :((
TW ~ this song is actually not about a relationship. Ana is referring to (although I don't remember the name) a type of mindset where one is upset with how their body looks. His "friends" are referring to harmful coping tools. "Just like a strip club bedroom scene" is referring to hallucinations induced by drugs and alcohol. And quite obviously "scaring the thought of kissing razors" is self-harm. Vic is a wonderful man and this song got me through so much
omg never thought of ana like that, so relatable lmao
This comment made me absolutely ball my eyes out.
@@PlutotheElf Aww i sowyy
@@princesspopidk4385 is this supposed to be making fun of me I’m sorry I don’t know if this is satire or genuine ☹️☹️☹️
Body dysmorphia
One day you’re 12 years old, crying yourself to sleep every night, wishing for anything to change. Everything to end. And then one day you’re 22, and dancing to this song in the kitchen while you make dinner, and you realize that everything is gonna be alright.
Me but when drunk oops
Not one personal experience. Sorry you had that at a young age too ❤
Then one day I turned 33 years old and I'm still in love like the first time❤❤❤❤
one day i'll scream this song from the rooftops
can i come
I remember being 15 and adding this to my breakup playlist :)))
Dude me too but it didn't help that we were both emo and liked this band. She liked them more so it didn't help xD
I actually hated on them a lot now I love this album also I turned 21 this year
Me here because I’m going through a breakup :D
I never thought of it as a breakup song. I always thought it was metaphor for mental illness and self ending thoughts
Woah. I'm 15 right now and I added this to my playlist too ..
LMFWK SAME NOW IM GOING THROUGH ANOTHER BREAKUP AND LISTENING TO IT AGAIN
2024? Am i the only one who listen to this masterpiece?
I used to listen to this album as a teenager and I still love it.
i agree with you, good music is above time and age
( I don't know how you got into me
Down my throat and made a home in my veins)😌😌
Gets me every time
I always took this song to be about how after a breakup, the girl still has connections to his friends and it makes it harder to get over her. He needs his friends to make it through the breakup but if they share the same friends she's basically still in his life.
And I can relate to having exes who share my same group of friends. It hurts.
there's an implication that the other person would proceed to have intimate relations with the singer's friends, basically
I can't sing this.
Reason 1. I cry
Reason 2. I don't have friends
Reason 3. This song is beautiful my voice would ruin it
1)pls dont cry
2)wanna be my friend?
3)the song is beautiful and do whatever makes you happy
This song isn’t actually about friends though
I highly agree with captain..!!
my sister and i both did not appreciate this song as teenagers. as adults it's hit us so profoundly. thank you ptv for all the feelings we got to process through the music
His voice is beautiful.
Waking up your neighbors downstairs
I've been inside your bedroom a thousand years
And as you tie me to the bed for good I say
That I want you in the most unromantic ways
Louisiana, you're torturing me with a beautiful face
Ana come on, I thought we had a damn good thing (damn good thing)
A penny in the couch and a diamond ring
So baby stay away from my friends
Because I need them to carry me when it's over
I'll count back from ten and you can listen to
Glass hearts shattering
I don't know how you got into me
Down my throat and made a home in my veins
They used to be the rivers that would take us away
But now you only call me every Christmas and my birthday
I still can't believe how you look next to me
Just like a strip club bedroom scene
Baby stay away from my friends
Because I need them to carry me when it's over
I'll count back from ten
And you can listen to
Something that you've never heard before (never heard before)
But you don't know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night
Scaring the thought of kissing razors
This blood evacuation is telling me to cave in
Stay away
Oh no
Just stay away from my friends.
lyrics are in the description, but i luv when ppl take time to put the lyrics in the comments so thank u :)
@@cristalgalindo7094 they can just copy and paste it into the comment it isnt really that hard 🤷
*comments fuck
Excuse me, when he says "the thought of kissing razors" whats the meaning of that?
@@ohno1361 I think it's referencing self harm such as cutting with razors and maybe he means razors cutting his throat/ face
My heart is forever here
This is the first time I have ever heard this song and 3:06 hit me like a tone of bricks. His vocals and the piano made this song so emotionally charged it brought tears to my eyes, I love ptv and the way their music digs emotions out of me. Nothing compares to listening to this song for the first time ❤️
This song will always be so good 😭!!!
yep
When we were together I told them I’d always skip this song cause I wasn’t into it but now I’ve been replaying this 100 times after we broke up cause it’s relatable
Listening to this at 25 hits just as amazing as it did when it first came out ❤️
can't hit the like button when im crying
2:16 this part reminds me of a soundtrack that would play during a mission in Halo 1, something about the beat paired up with the background singing is very reminiscent of Halo
They deserve a lot more, I love them so much
just listened to this song for the first time, I got mega chills at 1:31
When I first heard this song I thought it was so pretty and loved it so much. So much so that I showed it to my parents. It was as the three of us were listening to it that I realised what the lyrics were talking about lmao bit awkward Still love this tune though
I f*k'n love this song so bad! 😭💕
I love how everyone can mutually agree that they didn’t like this song, but it grew on them over time ❤
maybe this is a way of building up to finally give us a clue about the next album!!?? ?
i wish
They aren't even with this label anymore lol (I don't think so) I feel like it's to get money from a band they no longer have
This was 3 albums ago though, so 🤷🏻♂️
This is a song to attest the strength to overcome. Don't fret. You built for anything!
i mean im not complaining
hearing this at 23 means so much more than 16
I'm 30 and it still hurts
I adore this song so much
Quarantine be like:
I’m 39 and it’s still my ringtone! Haha love love this song … but like really having mutual friends during a breakup is the worst !
the piano reminds me so much of "slay the princess"
Bro this makes me cry
i think you can interpret this song in 2 ways. 1. His friends is his demons/depression and his telling someone he loves to stay away from the dark sides of him . 2. its a love song to his he's demons/depression to stay away from his friends.
Masterpiece.
Ive always love ptv since a kid, especially this song reminds me of all the memories i made then, thank you ptv for making beautiful songs like this :]
Always listening to this song >>
Mayday Parade: When you see my friends
Pierce The Veil: Stay Away from my friends
Been listening to this for the last few days amd been singing it but my southern draw drags it down
I didn't like this song that much first time listening, but I still added it to my playlist, a couple of months later, it played again, really started to feel the song and the lyrics, and now I can't stop listening. It really is a work of art.
Thanks for the music
Love this so much! I miss their songs :')
I cry everytime i hear this song
me too
every time I listen to this band I can only think about her I could never make her happy
I will never not love this song 😛
so nostalgic
Los necesito...
I remember me and my friend where obsessed with this one song
so cute
i remember listening to this song in the back room of spirit halloween while crying and eating a ham sandwich while ghost busters played over the loudspeaker.
i hated that job lol
This song makes me think about my female have 2 kids with her shit is going down but listening to it had me cry I understand what he sings and how he feel it’s a piece of art
...
Louisianaaaaaaa
My ex-wife's song. My best friend girl showed me this song. Damn..... 8 years later.
hope lifes been treating you okay
@@veryraree thank you
You're not cool until your home state is mentioned in a ptv song 😻
FR
@@-_bro_- IK
I got into PTV over the summer thanks to a friend who’s been a fan for over 10 years, and she recommended that I should listen to Selfish Machines first, and it honestly was worth it.
Out of all the songs on the record, this one is my personal favorite, given the circumstances I was going through at the time with a dying close friendship before hand, and I trace that past friendship to this song. We were really close friends, but he destroyed his life and it killed our friendship.
anyway, the song means a lot to me, and i would kill to listen to it again for the first time.
i also became a fan last summer!!! :DD
OGGODDD
Gosh I miss those highschool days.
But you don’t know what it’s like to wake up in the middle of the night .. ughh
This song and album will never it hit.
cried at 3:06
💔
If you’re reading this I love you and I hope your personal battle with mental health is going well or atleast okay. Please reach out to your friends 🩵
bro lowkey singing about he dont want this chick to sleep w his friends when he gone.. this kinda sad.
I think it’s actually about him not wanting his friends to ever experience self harming like he has but I’m not sure :0
@@nicovamp no i think it’s about drugs, but yeah addiction mostly which you could apply to self harming
I've thought about this a bit and I'm pretty sure it has a more literal approach to the lyrics, dealing with an abusive mentally straining relationship and how it might be to have to deal with the feeling of toxic reliance you'd have with someone who uses you. Though of course every song is interpretive
I can definitely see all of these 10/10
Look at us n our creative minds y'all
I think it was written as vaguely as it was so more people could apply it to their current situation
Its been a while, why?
Cause stupid “fans” want to cancel mike
waking up your neighbors downstairs :,(
Ayy bb trickz sampled this song
I hope I made the right choice..
What’s good my g talk

wtf hoe?? you can't just say that
aw hun, i promise it will get better, please dont give up 🖤🖤
Please be careful :(
you okay???
@@-_bro_- am now
Hey don’t be fucked up
Is this song a relationship between men and women? It is said on the Internet that it is related to depression. Is this statement correct?
the original meaning is abt vic telling his ex gf to stay away from his friends who he loves, but its mostly interpreted as self harm (the 'friends' are his razors, he's telling people to let him use his unhealthy coping mechanisms basically)
i apologise if that didnt make sense
Stay away from my gf.
Hey who’s this
stop
Ptv , we need you T^T
Please go on tour again I’m begging you
Waking up your neighbors downstairs
I've been inside your bedroom a thousand years
And as you tie me to the bed for good I say
That I want you in the most unromantic ways
Louisiana, you're torturing me with a beautiful face
Ana come on, I thought we had a damn good thing (damn good thing)
A penny in the couch and a diamond ring
So baby stay away from my friends
Because I need them to carry me when it's over
I'll count back from ten and you can listen to
Glass hearts shattering
I don't know how you got into me
Down my throat and made a home in my veins
They used to be the rivers that would take us away
But now you only call me every Christmas and my birthday
I still can't believe how you look next to me
Just like a strip club bedroom scene
Baby stay away from my friends

I'll count back from ten

Something that you've never heard before (never heard before)
But you don't know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night
Scaring the thought of kissing razors
This blood evacuation is telling me to cave in
Stay away
Oh no
