LYRICS
hung pictures of patron saints up on my wall to remind me that i am a fool- tell me where i came from, what i will always be: just a spoiled little kid who went to catholic school. when i am dead i won’t join their ranks, because they are both holy and free, and i’m in ohio, satanic and chained up, and until the end, that’s how it’ll be. i said make me love myself so that i might love you. don’t make me a liar, because i swear to god, when i said it i thought it was true. saint calvin told me not to worry about you, but he’s got his own things to deal with. there’s really just one thing that we have in common. neither of us will be missed. a saint bernard sits at the top of the driveway. you always said how you loved dogs. i don’t know if i count, but i’m trying my best when i’m howling and barking these songs.

Hung pictures of patron saints up on my wall
To remind me that I am a fool
Tell me where I came from, what I will always be:
Just a spoiled little kid who went to Catholic school
When I am dead, I won’t join their ranks
Because they are both holy and free
And I'm in Ohio, satanic and chained up
And until the end, that’s how it’ll be
I said make me love myself, so that I might love you
Don’t make me a liar, because I swear to God
When I said it, I thought it was true
Saint Calvin told me not to worry about you
But he’s got his own things to deal with
There’s really just one thing that we have in common:
Neither of us will be missed
Saint Bernard sits at the top of the driveway
You always said how you loved dogs
I don’t know if I count, but I'm trying my best
When I'm howling and barking these songs
You could always look in the description lol
Thnx for the lyrics bro, I rlly appreciate it!😄
is that JOxTer i see
uh... this don help
if u just read it it sounds like a killer poem
The song sounds like it comes from an emotionally unstable man who was abused by the religion was everyone around to him. The Saints are considered "Holy and free" and himself or another call this one child "satanic and chained up. He has to devote much of his time to the Jesus and wanting the son of god to not turn his back on him and making him a lair." This man also come to a conclusion, in the end, life is meaningless and "won't be missed."
I don't think religion plays into this, I think the saints are people in his life that did much better than him, maybe his father, but they aren't around anymore and he knows he'll never quite stack up to them. Satanic and chained up, he's fucked up in the past and for that reason he's tied down to where he lives now, maybe he just never got around to leaving where he is and it's too late for him to start a life of his own. Most of my friends from my hometown drank, smoked and partied then got "chained up" to that town after highschool.
Lol it about the movie Kujo i think
*joker*
yo isn't a saint bernard a type of dog
slope yea it is
As a latina, religion and catholic images have always been a part of my childhood. I grew up in a house filled with saints, I saw my abuela praying with her rosary. As a lesbian, though, I have always been conflicted with God and their message. I really wanted to love God, but I have been afraid for so many years of what they might think of me. Anyways this song is...really good. It really captures my inner conflict. I don't know what the band intended the meaning to be, but I found a special meaning for it. Thank you.
Oh and also, today my views on God and what they are and what they would think of me are not as troubling as they were years a go. I'm Okay lmao
I wouldnt worry too much about your being a lesbian meaning god doesnt love you dear. Remember that we will never know what jesus truly spoke because everything we based the bible on was one, things all written almost 200 years after his death, and 2) the king james version had many parts taken out of it and parts not real, written in, to fit how king james wanted the people to act. So for all we know god could be totally ok with your beliefs and lifestyle and we wont really know til we get there. The most you can do is be who you are inside and follow the golden rule of do unto others as you would wish others to do unto you. Because if you denied yourself a lesbian then that would be bearing false witness and that too is breaking the lords command. So just do the best you can love, at all you do. And then you will be far ahead of most of the world. Sending love to you. Miranda.
Lesbian Christian here! Everyone has a different journey in thier faith, but you're not alone in what you're going through. I don't know if this sentiment will mean much to you but God really does love you, and nothing about you would make them stop ❤
I believe the artist who made this song is indeed queer himself, so it's not that surprising you picked up these themes.
Sorry about your troubles. I'll say as a Christian myself I will tell you that you being a lesbian doesn't get in the way of God loving you, or you loving God.
I kind of wanted to know what the significance of St. Calvin/John Calvin, and it turns out he is an apologetic writer who began his own branch of Catholicism, Calvinism. Calvinism focuses heavily on predestination and absolute sovereignty, so what it basically states is that all things are willed and planned by god and there is no work around lest you risk eternal damnation. I think that this song is about a Catholic Christian guy who was indoctrinated into Calvinism in particular, and is lamenting on how he was always destined to lead a messed up life, possibly up to the moment he's on his death bed.
"A Saint Bernard sits at the top of the driveway' could be a reference to Bernard of Clairvaux and the belief that monks and nuns have a special reserved place in heaven, however it could also be a reference to the breed, and how dogs are obsessively loyal to their owners if they have "treats", in this case a perceived salvation, and the last line is referring to the subject trying to make up for how he supposedly sinned during his life. "You" could be God, Jesus, or the Church in the last stanza, but in the middle stanza
"I said make me love myself so I might love you
don’t make me a liar,
because i swear to god,
when i said it i thought it was true.
saint calvin told me not to worry about you,
but he’s got his own things to deal with.
there’s really just one thing that we have in common.
neither of us will be missed."
"You" feels like it shifts meanings back and forth. "make me love myself so I might love you'' seems like and inversion of the Catholic, beatitude heavy idea of humbling yourself so god could love you, lining up with the final stanza, or to go even further with the inversion, maybe "you" is a loved one, inherently mortal and opposed to immortal things like god. Maybe what he's "praying" for in the middle stanza is what has cursed him in the first, wanting to enjoy life without worry or guilt or the bad hand he was given, and this song goes in reverse. Final stanza, indoctrination into the church, second stanza, listing "earthly desires" he wants and perhaps pursues, first stanza, penance and regret. From this point of view you could either see the meaning being regret of reckless actions despite what you were told, being cut off from a proper experience of life by upbringing and how that weighs on your mind throughout adulthood, or how religious institutions have strayed from "God's" original intent, if "you" simultaneously represents god and loved ones as if they are one in the same, which is probably one of the few happy things to be parsed from this song.
Oh boy, this is a trainwreck of a comment.
atlas Croaked holy shit this comment was good, it wasn’t a train wreck it was very interesting to read, I don’t no much about other religions but thanks for the tid bit of info
Ok but like how does you Twitter look like
Alexa avalos I’m so dead😂😂😂
Five years late but I wanted to know more about the St Bernard connection, I think this is it as it fits with the theme of the song. In a sermon St Bernard of Clairvaux is quoted as saying (in latin) "He who loves me, loves my dog". Which apparently made the saying more popular (though he didn't coin it). The full quote here: “The holy angels…love us, in fact, because Jesus Christ loved us ... ... It is said truly in a common proverb: who loves me, also loves my dog…We are the little dogs of the Lord…yes, like small dogs that want to feed on the crumbs that fall from the table of our masters.”
I see a sort of thematic rhythm in the song. First he states how irredeemable he is, a confession of sin, then a 180° begging for gods love (albeit in an incorrect manner according to the doctrine), but then again back to lamentation in referencing Calvin he is grappling with the possibility that it is God's will that he is not be loved, what's the point in fighting it? Then in the last verse referencing St Bernard it is a reflection of the verse before last, that even if he can not be a good righteous christian even if he is predestined to be a lowly barking dog, he might be loved if he is loyal, but again it isn't clear who he is talking to... In the St Bernard Quote he is already referencing mankind as dogs and that they are loved by their master, God. So perhaps it is another plea for love while accepting his place as a lowly barking dog? Though I almost want to interpret it being that in the last verse he is no longer begging for God's love but for his fellow Man's, that if he is God's dog, that "He who loves god, loves his dog", that he has God's love but that it does not actually solve his material problems on earth. Idk its a good song.
(Also St Bernards (the dogs) are not named after this St Bernard but a different guy, St Bernard of Menthon who set up a hostel in the alps to assist pilgrims through a dangerous pass that later also had dogs)
My favourite lyrics/line of the entire song:
"Make me love myself, so that I might love you...
Don't make a liar, 'cause I swear to god
When I said it, I thought it was true."
I really stray far from religion (which is implied heavily throughout), but this hits deep. Especially those lyrics.
listen to it at 0.75 speed. shit's outta this world.

I don’t really have a religion and if cool and scary at the same time
how many times replaying this song is too many? asking for a friend
I think it's impossible to listen to it too much.
It was on my spotify wrapped 😭
"make me love myself, so that I might love you"
i felt that
LINCOLN!!!!!!!!!! This one is my fave so far!!! But all of them are SOgood!????????????? I am confusion
I TOO AM CONFUSION
honestly,,, with so many of your good songs coming out, who ISNT confusion????!!
oh my god not only you make great music but you're just my kind of duuuude
this is so awesome, everything bout you
:'-)
I love this so much. I’m gonna sing it at my schools talent show pretty soon,,wish me luck lol
How'd it go???
@Lobsters Pasta Yo fam. Howd it go lol
How’d it go?
how did it go?
How did it go OP?
What type of music is this? I would love to get more of this music for my ears.
The closest thing I can,, kinda think of is AJJ, but like the older shit. I have no idea man
AJJ! Of course! I knew this sound seemed familiar!
The Front Bottoms are similar too.
Uhm i guess in our contry we say these kinds of music is balad but i guess it kinda close
McCaferty is definitely like this band :)
WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ON MY LIFE!!
As someone who has religious trauma this song is what my entire childhood felt like
Does anyone know songs that are like this?
I like how the eerie feeling and general tone of the singer, that's the biggest thing for me.
Apple Music put one of their songs in a playlist for me and since then I can't stop listening to this album.
It’s so eerie yet so catchy…I like it.
this song always makes me feel uneasy, yet here i am, yet again, listiening to it on repeat
You know, I just realized, he says hes satanic and locked up, and the main beat almost sounds like a boot and a hoof hitting the ground
This song hits me really hard...growing up Catholic, I always felt out of place. My church was kind enough, but I never believed. I hated going because I always had to pretend that I did. When my eldest sister tossed the religion, I was so relieved because it showed me that our parents wouldn't judge me for wanting another religion. I'm still looking for one, and it's hard. Being really into spirital stuff, a lot of religons would consider me unholy. I feel like I'm that dog sitting at the top of the driveway, waiting for someone to come.
Look into islam
You can read about Hindu and Buddhist philosophy. It might offer you some peace. And give your some meaning. I personally love bhagvad geeta and also taoism
For such a short song it really sticks with you
I have no clue why, but Spotify put this in my Mix of the week... and damn, this was the first song they put rightfully in there... I love this, I don't know why exactly... it's short, it has meaning, it has elements of surprise, metaphoric epicness and a dark theme... perfect :)
i always seem to come back here
especially at my lowest
find some sort of comfort within the song
I don't think a lyric has ever resonated with me as much as "I don't know if I count, but I'm trying my best"
Call me stupid I don't care, this is my perspective. I think it's about an abused (possibly sexual) child who went to a Catholic School/Church. He was abused and convinced that it was okay and normal. When he grew up he was broken and wanted revenge. He went looking for him and that's where his story ends. "Saint Bernard sits at the top of the driveway, you always said how you lived dogs" meaning his body can be buried on the top of the churches hill. Death by dogs? The end
agree
Holy crap
When u realise that he explained the lyrics in a comment above
@@georgep1966 wait where
Madison Laprise he said in reply to some one, something like “it’s mostly bullshit, but if you get any meaning out of it that’s cool”
This is literally what my panic/anxiety attacks sound like/feel like
shut up
I'm also a spoiled little kid who went to Catholic school-
There are songs that feel like they began as a poem. This is definitely one of them. I really like this song. I wish I had the words to describe what it is and what I'm feeling. I just really like this.
“There’s really only one thing we have in common neither of us will be missed”
That’s my life quote right there
Can't wait until you blow up and get the recognition you deserve, your music is incredible!!
Ohio isn't even real you're not fooling me Lincoln
Can this be extended for like an hour 💛
i always skipped this one on spotify but now i’ve realized how much it slaps in like a sad way
Play at 1.25 speed, oml.
@Hey, Im Dabi oh god why did I try this
Omg this sounds way better
Hey, Im Dabi I like it better slower
This is still a great song, Lincoln.
Man, I hate that some people have to deal with this! Christianity is not excepting and loving people no matter the flaws. If you are struggling you matter! Don’t ever doubt that
I’ve listened to the same playlist for a year I can’t believe this still hasn’t hit 1M views
So how many of us have catholic school trauma?
Man, my name is Calvin, and I feel so, remembered, idk what it is, just makes me feel like my uncle is up in heaven looking down at me, smiling. Thank you man, never felt this happy in a long time.
I wanna animate this so badly. Who do I talk to man ??
lunaciTV Me! :> my animating is mediocre but eh
as a christian (not catholic though)
the vibe of this song are like, so interesting to think about, what's hidden behind it, the conflicted feelings it gives, it's absolutely terrible to see what's some people has experienced with religions, and i'm really sad reading the huge amount of people who struggle loving themselves or just, the people who are scared of what God or other people might think about them and all,
so, for believers, now that God loves you (he also loves the non-believers but they don't care abt that so i think it won't have much of an impact on their emotional state)
and for others, well, you matter and deserves happiness, love and a healthy life, no matter what others may think of yourself as an individual, what is important is you are here, alive and important, lots of love
listening to this on the bus to work after your car got totaled by an escaped inmate in a stolen vehicle hits so different
u good bro
Ive been dealing with depression for three years now, I'm 13. I listen to music because it calms me and takes me away from my problems and how much the actual world stresses me out. When I have rather bad thoughts about my self worth, I listen to this song and GRRRLS, two totally different songs but both calm me down and help distract me from the mess I am.
Serious it's kinda weird how this is so similar to me, except that I'm 14 and I've had depression for 3-4 years
Your profile picture + this comment tells me we'd be friends.
Whenever I'm depressed I just watch Nyanyan Cosplay don't even ask

Lyrics: Hung pictures of patron saints up on my wall
To remind me that I am a fool
Tell me where I came from, what I will always be
Just a spoiled little kid who went to Catholic school
When I am dead I won't join their ranks
'Cause they are both holy and free
And I'm in Ohio, satanic and chained up
And until the end, that's how it'll be
I said make me love myself so that I might love you
Don't make me a liar, 'cause I swear to god
When I said it I thought it was true
Saint Calvin told me not to worry about you
But he's got his own things to deal with
There's really just one thing that we have in common
Neither of us will be missed
Saint Bernard sits at the top of the driveway
You always said how you loved dogs
I don't know if I count
But I'm trying my best
When I'm howling and barking these songs
This gives me crazy feels
this song is beautiful. it is rhythmical and there is nothing superfluous in it.
i just spent 20 minutes looking in the mirror and performing these lyrics as a dramatic monologue from the perspective of someone who’s lover went to jail after i framed them, but my life has been worse than hell in their absence so i’m truly repenting to them
Ive known of this band for a few hours and I’d already die for it
This is underrated and it’s unfair
To me it’s just an anthem you should sing in a pub with a dozen of drunken lads. You don’t need music. It’s blissful.
when I listen to this song, it feels like I’m a serial killer lol.
I listen to your music every single day, it really helps me muddle through the thoughts in my head.
I love the variety of animations and animatics tied to this song. I’m excited because I plan to join those people and make an animatic as well!
I love this 1:13 part!
my friend told me to listen to this song, i just did and it generally scared me, idk why but does
Was it The music video? With the dog?
This song just connects to me in ways others cant
this song gives me goosebumps but it also relaxes me so much.
MASSIVE BOP
Yes
this song is f*cking spooky
this sounds like its composed of raw emotion and experience
i love this
"I said make me love myself so that I might love you, don't make me a liar 'cause I swear to God when I said It I thought it were true"
I'm loosing my Fucking mind being isolated for so long.
i haven’t heard this song in what feels like forever so all the sudden i just started to sing the last lyrics and like it was none chilling
Wonderful song! Gonna be blasting these when I drive for Uber -
hahahha please do this that's awesome
This song give me feeling that I've never felt before,, it's so weird and sometimes it scares me,, but somehow i love it
I need a longer version of this.
i like this one
thank u sweaty
Stff *wrow*
The feels this song gives are insane
1:27
Does anyone know the effect they put on the backing vocals? It's the same one for the guitar at 0:45 but it seems to be done for the vocals.
When the beat drops it reminds me of a horror song
GraisonPlayz Gaming well the song is based on a movie called cujo and cujo is a horror movie
Comfort song fr.
Oh my gosh where has this song been all my life
this relates to me so much, they say im spoiled and i go to catholic school the rest is just me
and then i just like it like seriously i put it on loop and im listening until my thing dies
don't let em bug u-- all that matters is that u are aware of your privileges and use them in a positive way for everyone!! anyway i am glad u like it thanks :-)
Lincoln Vlogs hey
Uh
Can I animate this
Eyyyy Catholic school is pretty gucci tho
This song makes me feel like even though everything’s not okay now and it won’t be for a while, eventually it’s all gonna be okay.
we love that for me
This is probably a dumb question but what's the song about
Not gonna lie, I need an explain too. I, at max, have two neurons working when I'm not doing something.
I mean I dont "know" but the way I like to look at it is... Its about a guy whos had a rough relationship, hes at his lowest point here. Hes looking back on his life and seeing nothing he likes, seeing himself as "unholy and evil" probably blaming himself for the problems in the relationship, and probably due to past truama. I think theres some real dark implications in the last part tho "... Theres only one thing we have in common neither of us will be missed. The saint brenard sits at the top of the driveway..." The line neither of us will be missed implies intent to kill himself/his lover or both. He being a "catholic boy" sees himself as a Saint Bernard. Hes at the top of the driveway, presumiably at the lovers house with the intent to murder them simply to end all the pain, and because he thinks its natural for him to do so; because he sees himeslf as evil, i.e. an instinct hense why he sees himself as an animal when he implies intent to murder.
However if you listen to another song by them called downward which has the first lines "Thats just something people say, when theyre on their last leg" (which im pretty sure is in refrence to this song cuz on spotify thats how the album is set up and cuz it just makes too much sense) I think the song is trying to express that absolute maddness of a truly bad breakup between two (or just one) emotionally unstable people. Rather than just be pointlessly edgy... Again thats just an interpretation from an emotionally unstable wacko who thinks way more than he should .-. So I by no means mean to say this IS what the song is about but rather its what I take from it.
I think it's just supposed to mean whatever you need it to mean to you
Sorry but best explanation I can come up with
Imo its about a person who is umder pressure from religion and is scared of the repercussions from it (hell, sins, etc)
Jake Killien me
Thanks omg dude !!!
Still listening in 2023
The last verse makes me feel terrified
AMAZING!!!
IS MAYONNAISE AN INSTRUMENT!!!
I get a certain feeling from this song, like a feeling of a memory
This song makes me wanna cause chaos, and just be an over all phyco. This song has such a mood to it.
This song feels like what soldiers would sing on their way to a battlefield
There are so many PMVs!! So cool!!
Oh my god the saint bernard sits at the top of the drive way part is horrifying at .5
Is it just me, or does he just like Todd from Bojack?
I adore these songs and hope you make more it's just that they make me feel so many things I thought unimaginable
I’m from Ohio.
Same
Sounds hella depressing and I love it.
This song makes me feel like I’m in the backrooms
I wish there was more of this song
this song still gives me chills and i dont know why
theres one thing we have in common both of us will not be missed
saint bernard sits at the TOP OF THE DRIVEWAY
imagine it said st bernard shits at the top of the driveway instead of sits at the top of the driveway...also i love this song
This makes me happy but makes my chest tighten up with anxiety kinda the feeling when you see someone you like but don't have the courage to talk to them.
god i love the distortion
1:24 sounds like David dobrik to me
