well i’m straight, but my best friend since kinder came out when we were in our junior year of hs. i showed him this song since i listen to indie punk and all, and this song popped up in the recommended, and it’s his favorite song now. his parents weren’t accepting but i was and so were our friends. he came to the conclusion that we really cared and his parents didn’t, so our validation was enough. he’s married to his high school bf/sweetheart (they dated since freshman year, i was clueless to this) and have a beautiful son they adopted. we are 23 and still the best of friends. im a proud “uncle” to a bright and outgoing kiddo. i love ya James!
@@stfubruh163 I just don't think he or she is. I don't think you can be a burden if you have a positive impact on at least one other living being. And since this person's comment helped other people feel like they're not alone because they relate (as seen on the number of likes on that comment), then I'm pretty sure this person helped at least someone, and is therefore, not a burden.
you aren’t a burden and if the people you care about love you they’d never categorize you as one. and it’s ok to not feel ok. every emotion was made to be felt and it’s ok to take time to feel better. you are valid in every way. if you ever feel alone remember there is always someone out there ready to support you. :)
In January 2022 I lost my friend under weird circumstances, we’re still unsure if it was a suicide or accident. He was all over the news in the UK. I have fond memories of listening to this song together, and I find the lyrics really relatable. My friend was autistic and struggled to cope with day to day life. We did everything we could to bring him home. A couple days ago, I got a tattoo that says “contribute to the chaos” in his honour. I love you huw, this song will always be our song. “You stopped by my house The night you escaped, with tears in my eyes I begged you to stay, you said hey man I love you but no fucking way.”
As someone who has also lost a close friend on the spectrum I relate a lot to this. My best friend of 13 years came over for the Super Bowl February 2nd of 2020. He looked really ill, and was dealing with diabetes. I wasn’t educated on his condition then, and my life has kind of went into a spiral since. I didn’t hear from him the next day, and I thought perhaps he was sleeping things off. The day after he didn’t show up to work. I left immediately, and found him in his apartment. Part of me died that night. We finished sentences, spoke in references, shared special interests, went through homelessness together, and were in all ways just kind of inseparable since the 7th Grade. I have a son now, and he never got to meet his uncle. We weren’t biological brothers, but we may as well have been. I hope you are finding peace.
"Its no big surprise you turned out this way when they closed their eyes and prayed you would change" That part always gets me Edit, 6 years later: man cheers to this song and 14 year old me making a dumb comment not meaning to start a whole argument about it. At the end of the day we are all listening to the same man scream out of tune about his exes.
This makes me think of my best friend, she was taken away by CPS when we were teens. Her dad died, her mom did drugs, her grandparents refused to help. We were best friends since we were babies. I haven't seen her in 10 years now.. The part about praying she would change and sending her away really hits me hard.
I was taken away by CPS, to this day theyre still threatening to take me away again (let me tell you they have 0 reason to do so), i just got back from court. It sucks so much and this song reminds me how when i was sent into foster care they cut my hair and made me change to fit that life style. I remember not being able to say goodbye to my friends. Im glad Im back but, nothing really changed, and I don't think it ever will. If the CPS finds you, youre stuck in a loop.
shtar yeah, just the way he talked about the snakes, the warning signs he ignored, "there's an amount to take, reason to take more", stuff like that. It's never been explained anywhere though
I have never heard a song by this band before, but I naturally gravitate to the pure amount of soul put into this song. I am so looking into these dudes.
This song feels like attempting to hold onto youth, optimism and innocence while everything is falling apart around you, and wow, does it feel both sad and rebellious at the same time. The search for fragile happiness wasn't meant for an existence this ephemeral.
I'm in that point in life where everyone around me seems to be going forward and I'm staying back. It sucks. I can't even talk with my friends without feeling shame, I feel like I don't deserve them. This song is supporting me in such a dark and desperate moment that a mere thanks is not enough. I love you guys.
*_She hopes I'm cursed forever to sleep on a twin-sized mattress in somebody's attic or basement my whoooole life! never! graduating up in size to add another, and my nightmares will have nightmares every night!_*
"with tears in my eyes i begged you to stay, you said hey man i love you but no fucking way" hits so hard. my best friend who helped a shit ton with my social anxiety, its gotten worse over the years but they had to move away from their moms and moved in with their dad in a different country. now that i'm older i understand and know its better over there but i remember i begged them to stay one time when they were visiting and just wow. those lyrics cut DEEP
I have a hypothesis. This would been more poignant, maybe this was the original. It makes more sense. It's no big surprise you turned out this way When they close their eyes and prayed you would change And they cut your hair, and sent you away You stopped by my house the night you escaped With tears in my eyes, you said "can i stay" I said, "Hey man, I love you but no fucking way"
ALLHAILRASH I think it makes more sense this way: Their friend is running away from home around highschool age after their relationship with their parents has been troubled "they cut your hair and sent you away". might be addicted to drugs it seems like it. The friend comes to the narrators house. knowing that their friend is self destructing the narrator tries to get them not to leave. It doesn't work.
I absolutely love this song. It's about Drug + Alcohol addiction and mental illness tearing a friendship apart. It really depicts how damaging these addictions really are. "Hey man, I love you, But no fucking way." This quote talks about no matter how closely bonded a friendship/relationship is, a person blinded by addiction can't have these interactions back. it'll forever be different.
i kinda thought of it as parents putting their trans daughter in like a conversion camp, hence, "When they close their eyes and prayed you would change And they cut your hair, and sent you away"
Lafayette the baguette I agree! Though I could see how someone dealing with an addiction might have grown out and unkept hair- something their parents might cut off in an attempt to “fix them” if that makes sense
My recent ex girlfriend showed me the front bottoms, and yesterday I went to their concert by myself, but did not feel alone at all surrounded by the great people in the venue. You’re never alone ❤️
This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames Of my friends bodies When the flood water comes, it ain't gonna be clear It's gonna look like mud But I will help you swim I will help you swim I'm gonna help you swim This is for the snakes and the people they bite For the friends I've made, for the sleepless nights For the warning signs I've completely ignored There's an amount to take, reasons to take more It's no big surprise you turned out this way When they close their eyes and prayed you would change And they cut your hair, and sent you away You stopped by my house the night you escaped With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay You said, "Hey man, I love you, but no fucking way!" I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies This is for the lake that me and my friends swim in Naked and dumb on a drunken night But it should've felt good, but I can hear the Jaws theme song On repeat in the back of my mind Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face There are lessons to be learned Consequences for all the stupid things I say And it is no big surprise you turned out this way The spark in your eyes, The look on your face I will not be late I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies I wanna contribute to the chaos I don't wanna watch and then complain 'Cause I am through finding blame That is the decision that I have made She hopes I'm cursed forever to Sleep on a twin-sized mattress In somebody's attic or basement my whole life Never graduating up in size to add another And my nightmares will have nightmares every night Oh, every night, every night
"it's no big surprise you turned out this way when they closed there eyes and prayed you would change and they cut your hair and sent you away you stopped by my house the night you escaped with tears in my eyes I begged you to stay you said hey man I love you but no fucking way!!"
"this is for the lake that me and my friends swim in. naked and dumb on a drunken night, but its shouldve felt good, but i can hear the jaws theme song on repeat in the back of my mind" makes me think about no matter how much fun im having with my friends, no matter how much ive done to make me forget about everything that could go wrong, i still think about it. no matter how unlikely it is to happen, like a shark in a lake, ill still think about it.
This hits so fucking hard. I’ve cried so many times while listening. Everyone can have their own interpretation. I barely know what hes talking about and I dont want to know. But i can feel it in my bones. This life has been so fucking hard and I’m not even an adult yet. This song is for the children who grew up with families that saw them as the golden child. This song is for queer kids who were never supported. This song is for those who cried themselves asleep. This song is for everyone whos had enough of being stepped on by people. This song is for the undiagnosed neurodivergents. This song is for everyone who has hurt themselves before. This song is for you. This song is for me. This song is for all of us crazy people with families that never understood. Its for people who have cried red hot firey tears over who they are. Those who have stood over the bodies of their siblings as family members screamed in their faces. For those who were thrown out. For the middle schoolers who cried in the bathrooms. For the kids who fought in the hallway while a crowd swarmed around them. For those who have been hurt and hurt others. For those who cant control their anger. For those who can’t even go outside. This is for us.
Bro, reading your comment about made me cry TwT it's so true, the whole song Is the comfort of knowing your not alone and you feel appreciated like you never have
Songs like these make me realize that if you're still holding onto some relationships that only lasted when you lived in the state/country, then it's time to cut the ropes and set yourself free. No matter how much rope-burn its going to give you, temporary pain is better than letting your wrists lose oxygen until they have to be cut off anyways.
Wow, I wrote this a year ago?.... I just want to say that I wrote this comment while in the middle of trying to persuade myself to leave a one-sided toxic friendship. And I finally did it a few months ago. So yeah... that's bout it
@@Suchperfectballs much like Mccafferty , The Front Bottoms take inspiration from the genres of Math Rock, Indie , and Alternative music. I'm not sure if i mentioned this in my original comment, but its not "Emo" emo, but more of Midwest emo. Which is also characterized by the unconventional vocals. Bands that fall into this category include but are not limited to: Tiny Moving Parts, Mineral, American Baseball, and (as mentioned before, this one is also a punk band) Mccafferty.
the: “its no big surprise, you turned out this way” line means so so much to me personally, as a person with addictions and serious mental illnesses running in the family, who ended up picking up all the things my family told me to not, ended up becoming even worse than them. Why did i ever think i could be better than them. This whole song in general is overly relatable on concerning levels, but that line just hits extra hard
oh boy this reminds me of the Time when i was 18 and ran away from my abusive mother's house to stay at my friends house 80-ish miles away for a while, i listened to this a lot during that time.
Im 19 I had a stroke on May 20th I'm. Currently in the best rehabilitation physical therapy hospital of the country due to loss of feeling on my left side. I've been in good spirits but today was one of my hardest days & listening to music ,motivates me to stay strong, please pray for me this is hard on my family & my best friend whose my dog. I was told I was never going to walk again or make it through surgery but I made a breakthrough & moved my leg & sangfor the first time since my stroke!!! I'm filming my recovery & using some songs from this album on it I hope I can inspire the world with my story
I sincerely hope your recovery is going well. so much can be accomplished by simply staying positive and never giving up. I do not know what to say but all I want to do is give you hug and this record on vinyl.
you are one bad ass for going through that and not have broke yet, i don't know you but i seriously respect you and hope you recover well and good luck to you and i definitely will check out the video just stay strong and hang in there
Wait, I just realized that people are coming here from TikTok. So to those people who are, enjoy your stay, hope you like it. But to be honest I came here last year from TikTok, it was for a different song though. Then I just started to listen to them a lot, and I still do listen to them a lot
I can't describe how much I love this band, I just do. I usually listen on Spotify, I came here simply to comment my adoration for The Front Bottoms! Every song has so much emotional significance to me and I can't place why. I fucking love this song so much, the guitar, the lyrics, the singer's voice, its all so imperfectly perfect and I just feel it. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy the song :)
This is actual art.. I was introduced to me around 2016 by a now ex, and I thought it was just proto angst, and it is... but goddamn. It has become so much more to me, this song is clearly an anthem, an anthem of love and loss, because something this heartbreaking couldn’t have been written without the loss of some immense love.. goddamn Brian, I feel you
bro this song, this song right here. i used to listen to this song on repeat because it was all my phone could hold, being downloaded. leaning on the cold bus window, passing the shell gas stations then the church then my old elementary then my middle school, man then seeing all the kids get off the bus with me running to their friends but me just standing there walking into school to first period gym. then going home to a house, not my home, a stranger's home according to my mom her close friend barely knew her though. going straight to the basement being scared and anxious "my moms friends" were gonna try talking to me, not eating either cause we had no food. it hurt man, it did everyday same thing. this song brings back so many traumatic memories, we live on though dont we.😔🤘🏻
I lost my best friend to addiction a few months ago. I cry everytime I hear this song. "When I sing, you sing harmonies" gets me everything. I miss you Alex
Man I feel like I'm cursed for the shitty way I acted to a girl who I knew really loved me. Now I can't find anyone to share the person ive become over the years with and it fucking breaks my heart.
"I wanna contribute to the chaos, I don't wanna watch and then complain cuz I am through finding easy and that's a decision I have made." that's such a powerful lyric...
“I wanna contribute, to the chaos! I don’t wanna watch, and then complain!” This line just hits hard. The tone, and voice of the singer. The feeling of being done with passing as a shadow. Done with being a pair of eyes of strict rules, but to instead live, and watch the fire burn, even if it means you might get burnt.
Wow, I can’t believe people are only NOW figuring out about this song. Been such a fan of the front bottoms for a while and this was one of their bigger songs. If you guys liked this song, DEFINITELY check out their others, this band literally never misses when it comes to music. I highly recommend“12 feet deep” and “the plan”
@plantmom Idk if this helps cause I'm tired as shit but like don't listen to whoever tf telling you that you aren't who you are cause you are and people who can't see that are fucking idiots

@@woodhousii2445 yo, they’re just trying to give you hope man. I know it’s rough and it may have been out of your control. You’re asking for nurturing and they’re doing that.
@@woodhousii2445 I see what you mean. I know I can’t help you. But you are important and I hope you don’t get any comments from people trying to better their esteem. There isn’t always a clear way to tell.
One of the reasons I love this song is because it doesn't pander to the audience. It's not the type of song to go "I love your eyes for their blueish brownish greenish color, etc." Its refreshing tbh
Since I moved 3 years ago I've been sleeping on a twin size mattress because my parents don't really give a shit about my well being, I got enough for a good high quality bed (small double) and it was supposed to turn up today, I've got everything else for it expect the bed, I'm genuinely cursed forever to sleep on a twin size mattress..
Im moving out soon and have only ever had a twin size for the same reason and will have one for a long time until I have enough saved up. You did it!! Hopefully i can do it too
My friend I've known for almost my whole life has recently left to go to Madagascar for life. She says she'll visit during the summer holidays but, considering the state of the world at the moment, I very much doubt she will anytime soon. Every day I miss her more and more. She was one of the very few people I felt I could truly be myself around. I'd tell her all my secrets and, no matter how strange I was, she always accepted me for who I was. Even when we were apart, I texted and called her all the time, so we never were really apart. The best bit about it all, the sleepovers. I really liked genuinely being with her, so I tried to do it as much as I can. We both had a lot of fun. We were like sisters from different families. Out of the billions of people in the world, I'm really glad I met her, cause I don't know where I'd be without her. I was shattered when I saw her text saying she was moving miles away from Home, and I feel like this song, especially 0:55 - 1:08 really helps to express the heartbreak I felt when she left. Sure, we can still, text, but knowing that I'll never feel the full thrill of being with the girl who helped me through tough times in person is too much to bear... If you've bothered to read this far, wow.. Thanks for caring about how some girl on the internet feels at the moment, I really appreciate it. Stay safe! And I'll miss you, Jenny...

2:06 "And it is no big surprise you turned out this way. The spark in your eyes, the look on your face. I will not be brave" Reminds me of every time I remember them and think about how they would've grown and enjoyed their life if they were still here. I just wish I could've spoken to him on the day it happened, at least I could've said that I was there for him. But no. Of course not.
My aunt used to listen to this song and my aunt is like one of my favorite people in the world. And I didn't know the name of the song until about a week ago, but this song has been stuck in my head for years. And has so many meanings to me and so many reasons it has a place in my heart. Its an amazing song. Thanks for being a staple of my childhood, Front Bottoms.
I was the same way until a few months ago. Then something switched. For me, this kind of music says everything is going to be fine. Remember, everything is just a big cosmic joke. Keep that in mind and don't let it be on you. I think we all need a reminder like that from time to time.
My parents sent me to a baptist school in 7th grade when they were suspicious that I liked girls, it was only 2 years but they were the worst of my life. I'm finally back in public school with my friends and one of them told me to check this song out. I'm happy to be alive again.
As a person who has felt pain for so long this song brings me so much comfort I do anything just to fill the "void" in my heart not to sound emo or anything but I've been through so much and it hurts even if its in the past I'm just glad I found this sound it actually makes me smile and be happy for once
i heard this skeleton on the last day of school, dismissed the band, heard they got signed to fbr, same as twenty one pilots, heard help, and have been listening to all of their stuff. i understand the hype to this song. good god is this song fantastic.
Listening to this one a lot lately. It reminds me of the last week I lived in the city before I moved back home. (failed to make a life for myself due to the insane cost of living.) Spent that week slowly packing and cleaning up the apartment I called home for 2 years. Then had a few friends over for one last little drink. One of them played this song quite a few times and now it's burned into my memory. It's bittersweet as fuck. Those 2 years in the city were the best years of my life. Seems like it's all downhill from here. It sucks but I'm thankful I even got to to experience what life is like outside of the shitty rural community you grew up in.
@@chaeviviana she wasn't a pagan and i didn't say witch because it has bad connotations, so sorry. I just don't know the right word. I do know the rule of three though.
Well, if she really was Wiccan she should have looked forward. Sending something like that to someone undeserving is only gonna reflect on her lol. Glad you've found happiness.
My partner and I loved this song and now that they are at a mental hospital and we can’t talk anymore, this song is the only thing keeping me company until they get better.
It is insane how impactful this band and this song is on me. I'm not being mushy with words when I say this song and this band is my soul. It touches me so deep deep down in my person and makes me feel such a unique and melancholy nostalgic feeling.
I found this song in my darkest time. I was 12 and I was in a very dark place at the time and I found this song. It made me bawl my eyes out on floor of my bedroom in the middle of the night. Some of the lyrics hit so close to home especially "It's no big surprise you turned out this way." Something I told myself constantly because I was being tormented at school and tormented at home and my mind never gave me a chance to breath but when I found this, despite making me sob, it gave my mind a moment of peace. I'm 18 at the time of writing this and I'm currently in a not great place mentally again (for different reasons this time) and this song still makes me sob but still gives my mind the moment of peace I need.
For me, this song represents my early 20s. So many of my friends were making such crazy choices with there lives and living off the bare minimum with no regard to how society saw them. Looking back at it now it was a wild rebellious time and though we didn’t have much it’s hard to remember a time when things felt this genuine and free. 8 people deep in a single apartment, dumpster diving behind Krispy Kreme’s for leftover donuts they throw out after closing. Drinking 40oz on random rooftops and parking garages. Zero interest in social standards or responsibilities just living life reckless and beautifully free. Malnourished and wirery frames but happy
Twin Size Mattress tells the story of a close friendship damaged and eventually destroyed by addiction. It is among the most beloved Front Bottoms songs.
I USED TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG SO MUCH, the amount of breakdowns i had to this song is insane. this song hits so hard its been so long since i listened to this song.. I WAS HAVING A BREAKDOWN EARLIER AND OML THIS SONG TURNED ON THE MEMORIES JS CAME FLOODING IN. had too many bad memories to this song but im so grateful this song existed when i needed it, it helped me through sm bad times.
I know that it's not what the songs about but it reminds me of the months before my friend ended their life. All the signs of their depression all of my begging for them to stay with no success. The end part reminds me of how I am now mentally stuck at the age I was when they died, never truly getting past it.
This song is literally my best friend. Whenever I’m overthinking everything I always find my self playing this song. It’s always here for me and I love it so much.
well i’m straight, but my best friend since kinder came out when we were in our junior year of hs. i showed him this song since i listen to indie punk and all, and this song popped up in the recommended, and it’s his favorite song now. his parents weren’t accepting but i was and so were our friends. he came to the conclusion that we really cared and his parents didn’t, so our validation was enough. he’s married to his high school bf/sweetheart (they dated since freshman year, i was clueless to this) and have a beautiful son they adopted. we are 23 and still the best of friends. im a proud “uncle” to a bright and outgoing kiddo. i love ya James!

You're not and you've never been. I hope you've come to realize that by now.
Same I always feel I hurt people and I feel like I can’t stop. And also when it said that I always get called gay and am gay now.
@@fangurks you dont know that. Maybe he is a burden
@@stfubruh163 I just don't think he or she is.
I don't think you can be a burden if you have a positive impact on at least one other living being.
And since this person's comment helped other people feel like they're not alone because they relate (as seen on the number of likes on that comment), then I'm pretty sure this person helped at least someone, and is therefore, not a burden.
you aren’t a burden and if the people you care about love you they’d never categorize you as one. and it’s ok to not feel ok. every emotion was made to be felt and it’s ok to take time to feel better. you are valid in every way. if you ever feel alone remember there is always someone out there ready to support you. :)
In January 2022 I lost my friend under weird circumstances, we’re still unsure if it was a suicide or accident. He was all over the news in the UK. I have fond memories of listening to this song together, and I find the lyrics really relatable. My friend was autistic and struggled to cope with day to day life. We did everything we could to bring him home. A couple days ago, I got a tattoo that says “contribute to the chaos” in his honour. I love you huw, this song will always be our song.
“You stopped by my house The night you escaped, with tears in my eyes I begged you to stay, you said hey man I love you but no fucking way.”
My condolences.

Damn, this song reached to the uk? Damn,..

This makes me think of my best friend, she was taken away by CPS when we were teens. Her dad died, her mom did drugs, her grandparents refused to help. We were best friends since we were babies. I haven't seen her in 10 years now.. The part about praying she would change and sending her away really hits me hard.
If you remember her name you could possibly find her over any sort of social medias, I don't know if you've tried this but it's worth suggesting
@@AD0de yes
Same thing happend to me but I was the one being taken away
I was taken away by CPS, to this day theyre still threatening to take me away again (let me tell you they have 0 reason to do so), i just got back from court. It sucks so much and this song reminds me how when i was sent into foster care they cut my hair and made me change to fit that life style. I remember not being able to say goodbye to my friends. Im glad Im back but, nothing really changed, and I don't think it ever will. If the CPS finds you, youre stuck in a loop.
@@AD0de thank you, I did that, she's happier now than she was here😊
“It’s no big surprise you turned out this way” that stung..
that hurted
That hurt like putting lemon on wound
That clip is how I found the song-
I have no idea what this song even means but I *feel* it
ContentPerson it’s about a friendship being torn apart by addiction. i didn’t learn that until recently but it makes a lot of sense lol
sheeboop wHATtT
sheeboop where did you hear that? i honestly had no idea
sheeboop well, i guess everyone can have their own interpretation
shtar yeah, just the way he talked about the snakes, the warning signs he ignored, "there's an amount to take, reason to take more", stuff like that. It's never been explained anywhere though
why does this song make me feel nostalgic for something that i've never experienced
I know ive never even heard it til recently but its sounds so nostalgic lol
it sounds like a song my dad would put on the radio going to school as a kid
i think they sound like green day, it may make you feel nostalgic because of the 00’s movies with green day songs.
I think it might be yearning to do things you haven't even done
I think it’s nostalgic because in the early 2000s every band sounded like this.
I have never heard a song by this band before, but I naturally gravitate to the pure amount of soul put into this song. I am so looking into these dudes.
I recomend "be nice to me" by this band, I feel it has a similar feeling to this
ive been listening to the front bottoms for the absolute longest and all of their songs are just so fucking amazing dude
I LOVE BE NICE TO ME ITS SO GOOD @@humanbean1221
Check out la dispute and hotel books if you don’t know them already

“I wanna contribute to the chaos, I don’t wanna watch and then complain” I love this line so much!
my outlook on life
"With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay
You said, “Hey man, I love you but no fucking way " i love this song so much
Diana Revilla dude, that part gets me in the feels
That's the only reason I listen to this song
Rachel Fryer ... I love this song!!!
that part is like hdjshjijd ouch my freakin heart heLLO.
Diana Revilla I hear you, and feel you.
Loud and clear! I too, love this tune...💗
This song feels like attempting to hold onto youth, optimism and innocence while everything is falling apart around you, and wow, does it feel both sad and rebellious at the same time. The search for fragile happiness wasn't meant for an existence this ephemeral.
“‘Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face” that hits hard lol
It really does
@Oregano it's kinda like "I'm doing this because I love you" even though it's really hurting you
Just like the punches
just like his knuckles
Is that supposed to be a pun? IvI
All the comments are from a while ago, but sending my respect to whoever still listens to this
this is one of my fav songs. it has been for a long time
Hell, yeah
2020 has been painful and 2021 has been everything built uo crumbling down for me but i'ms still here

I love how this song has a different meaning for everyone, but we all get that one indescribable feeling from it.
I'm in that point in life where everyone around me seems to be going forward and I'm staying back. It sucks. I can't even talk with my friends without feeling shame, I feel like I don't deserve them. This song is supporting me in such a dark and desperate moment that a mere thanks is not enough. I love you guys.
I hope you're doing better now and have come to realize that you are allowed to do everything in your own time.
I hope your doing well now, as of me right now I’m going through so much pain. If you’re okey now, then thats good man you deserve it.
As long as you're pushing forward you're enough. Your friends value you, not your achievements.
I love reading these responses. I'm in the same boat. You guys are amazing ❤

p14g best part
Reminds me of my mum l lol
that last line hits different with your pfp
I just wanna scream this at the sky or something
this whole segment makes me want to burst out screaming and crying just letting the anger & sadness out
"Hey, man, I love you, but no fucking way"
"with tears in my eyes i begged you to stay, you said hey man i love you but no fucking way" hits so hard. my best friend who helped a shit ton with my social anxiety, its gotten worse over the years but they had to move away from their moms and moved in with their dad in a different country. now that i'm older i understand and know its better over there but i remember i begged them to stay one time when they were visiting and just wow. those lyrics cut DEEP
Me here in 2020 when the earth is turning to dust and crying
Haha same
same :/
i kin this comment
god, oh, how I hate the humans who destroyed our Earth and make me cry
And it just gets worse
*With tears in my eyes,I begged you to stay*
*You said,“Hey man,I love you but no fucking way."*
Bring Me The Metalcore that parts so sad
I have a hypothesis. This would been more poignant, maybe this was the original. It makes more sense.
It's no big surprise you turned out this way
When they close their eyes and prayed you would change
And they cut your hair, and sent you away
You stopped by my house the night you escaped
With tears in my eyes, you said "can i stay"
I said, "Hey man, I love you but no fucking way"
ALLHAILRASH I think it makes more sense this way: Their friend is running away from home around highschool age after their relationship with their parents has been troubled "they cut your hair and sent you away". might be addicted to drugs it seems like it. The friend comes to the narrators house. knowing that their friend is self destructing the narrator tries to get them not to leave. It doesn't work.
all these comments are from 3 years ago and im just here like ;-;
I know right
I literally know every lyric from this entire album, I still listen to it today lmao
Im new here just came from gerards haunted house video

You have no idea
Hey man, I love you, but no fucking way.
I love you
Maureen Fay QQA
I'm sure we can find somthing for you to do on stage maby like shake a tambourine or when I sing you sing harmony
I absolutely love this song. It's about Drug + Alcohol addiction and mental illness tearing a friendship apart. It really depicts how damaging these addictions really are.
"Hey man, I love you, But no fucking way."
This quote talks about no matter how closely bonded a friendship/relationship is, a person blinded by addiction can't have these interactions back. it'll forever be different.
i kinda thought of it as parents putting their trans daughter in like a conversion camp, hence, "When they close their eyes and prayed you would change
And they cut your hair, and sent you away"
Lafayette the baguette I agree! Though I could see how someone dealing with an addiction might have grown out and unkept hair- something their parents might cut off in an attempt to “fix them” if that makes sense
@@pompompurin2006 the line about shaving your head is quite a common thing in rehab camps, particularly in America.
@@myboneshurt1908 wow same, but it's also probably cause I'm trans lol. I imagine it's from the point of view of her lover and/or best friend
It’s probably gay too
My recent ex girlfriend showed me the front bottoms, and yesterday I went to their concert by myself, but did not feel alone at all surrounded by the great people in the venue. You’re never alone ❤️
She may not ly, but I ly homie
The "hey man I love you but no fucking way" sends shivers down my spine.
This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames
Of my friends bodies
When the flood water comes, it ain't gonna be clear
It's gonna look like mud
But I will help you swim
I will help you swim
I'm gonna help you swim
This is for the snakes and the people they bite
For the friends I've made, for the sleepless nights
For the warning signs I've completely ignored
There's an amount to take, reasons to take more
It's no big surprise you turned out this way
When they close their eyes and prayed you would change
And they cut your hair, and sent you away
You stopped by my house the night you escaped
With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay
You said, "Hey man, I love you, but no fucking way!"
I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage
Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies
This is for the lake that me and my friends swim in
Naked and dumb on a drunken night
But it should've felt good, but I can hear the Jaws theme song
On repeat in the back of my mind
Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face
There are lessons to be learned
Consequences for all the stupid things I say
And it is no big surprise you turned out this way
The spark in your eyes, The look on your face
I will not be late
I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage
Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies
I wanna contribute to the chaos
I don't wanna watch and then complain
'Cause I am through finding blame
That is the decision that I have made
She hopes I'm cursed forever to
Sleep on a twin-sized mattress
In somebody's attic or basement my whole life
Never graduating up in size to add another
And my nightmares will have nightmares every night
Oh, every night, every night
The lyrics are literally the second thing you see in the description
Thanks man
elliot xio preciate it man but this is one of those songs everyone knows word for word.
btw i luv ppl like u muah

"it's no big surprise you turned out this way

Hey man I love you I dont know you but you are wonderful all my heart be happy man
My favorite part
"this is for the lake that me and my friends swim in. naked and dumb on a drunken night, but its shouldve felt good, but i can hear the jaws theme song on repeat in the back of my mind" makes me think about no matter how much fun im having with my friends, no matter how much ive done to make me forget about everything that could go wrong, i still think about it. no matter how unlikely it is to happen, like a shark in a lake, ill still think about it.
"I wanna contribute to the chaos" I'm going to contribute to the chaos that is teenage rebellion. I'm gonna scream and shout until someone hears me

I actually got punched across the jaw in a mosh pit during this song
Michel Lowery did they kiss their knuckles first?
“it’s no big surprise you turned out this way” AIN’T THAT THE GODDAMN TRUTH
This hits so fucking hard. I’ve cried so many times while listening. Everyone can have their own interpretation. I barely know what hes talking about and I dont want to know. But i can feel it in my bones. This life has been so fucking hard and I’m not even an adult yet. This song is for the children who grew up with families that saw them as the golden child. This song is for queer kids who were never supported. This song is for those who cried themselves asleep. This song is for everyone whos had enough of being stepped on by people. This song is for the undiagnosed neurodivergents. This song is for everyone who has hurt themselves before. This song is for you. This song is for me. This song is for all of us crazy people with families that never understood. Its for people who have cried red hot firey tears over who they are. Those who have stood over the bodies of their siblings as family members screamed in their faces. For those who were thrown out. For the middle schoolers who cried in the bathrooms. For the kids who fought in the hallway while a crowd swarmed around them. For those who have been hurt and hurt others. For those who cant control their anger. For those who can’t even go outside. This is for us.
this is too true
That's oddly poetic. Well said though man
puta merda, isso foi como um soco muito bem dado na minha cara, me vi em algumas das situações relatadas
please know you are loved
Bro, reading your comment about made me cry TwT it's so true, the whole song Is the comfort of knowing your not alone and you feel appreciated like you never have
Songs like these make me realize that if you're still holding onto some relationships that only lasted when you lived in the state/country, then it's time to cut the ropes and set yourself free. No matter how much rope-burn its going to give you, temporary pain is better than letting your wrists lose oxygen until they have to be cut off anyways.
Wow, I wrote this a year ago?....

Emo's have the G note. Punks have this.
Emo punks have the all american rejects
@RaindropSketches Same here.
Technically this is midwest emo.
a ghost with two broke legs bruh how
@@Suchperfectballs much like Mccafferty , The Front Bottoms take inspiration from the genres of Math Rock, Indie , and Alternative music. I'm not sure if i mentioned this in my original comment, but its not "Emo" emo, but more of Midwest emo. Which is also characterized by the unconventional vocals.
Bands that fall into this category include but are not limited to: Tiny Moving Parts, Mineral, American Baseball, and (as mentioned before, this one is also a punk band) Mccafferty.
the: “its no big surprise, you turned out this way” line means so so much to me personally, as a person with addictions and serious mental illnesses running in the family, who ended up picking up all the things my family told me to not, ended up becoming even worse than them. Why did i ever think i could be better than them. This whole song in general is overly relatable on concerning levels, but that line just hits extra hard
So true tho
Living this right now..
you kinda just sound like a loser and are blaming all your shitty life choices on other people saying you didn't have a choice. grow up
oh boy this reminds me of the Time when i was 18 and ran away from my abusive mother's house to stay at my friends house 80-ish miles away for a while, i listened to this a lot during that time.
That is amazing
congrats for surviving toxic fam, wish you all the best
Did you actually like, “run” tho? Because I’ve rode a bike for a mere 10 miles and can’t imagine doing that 8 times over across 10 times the time

Im 19 I had a stroke on May 20th I'm. Currently in the best rehabilitation physical therapy hospital of the country due to loss of feeling on my left side. I've been in good spirits but today was one of my hardest days & listening to music ,motivates me to stay strong, please pray for me this is hard on my family & my best friend whose my dog. I was told I was never going to walk again or make it through surgery but I made a breakthrough & moved my leg & sangfor the first time since my stroke!!! I'm filming my recovery & using some songs from this album on it I hope I can inspire the world with my story
Wherever you are, I wish you the best. Hope you are kicking your recovery's ass in record time.
Are you okay now?
I sincerely hope your recovery is going well. so much can be accomplished by simply staying positive and never giving up. I do not know what to say but all I want to do is give you hug and this record on vinyl.
you are one bad ass for going through that and not have broke yet, i don't know you but i seriously respect you and hope you recover well and good luck to you and i definitely will check out the video just stay strong and hang in there

Wait, I just realized that people are coming here from TikTok. So to those people who are, enjoy your stay, hope you like it.
But to be honest I came here last year from TikTok, it was for a different song though. Then I just started to listen to them a lot, and I still do listen to them a lot

I can't describe how much I love this band, I just do. I usually listen on Spotify, I came here simply to comment my adoration for The Front Bottoms! Every song has so much emotional significance to me and I can't place why. I fucking love this song so much, the guitar, the lyrics, the singer's voice, its all so imperfectly perfect and I just feel it. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy the song :)
the front bottoms are just so unexplainably good 😭
This is actual art.. I was introduced to me around 2016 by a now ex, and I thought it was just proto angst, and it is... but goddamn. It has become so much more to me, this song is clearly an anthem, an anthem of love and loss, because something this heartbreaking couldn’t have been written without the loss of some immense love.. goddamn Brian, I feel you
bro this song, this song right here. i used to listen to this song on repeat because it was all my phone could hold, being downloaded. leaning on the cold bus window, passing the shell gas stations then the church then my old elementary then my middle school, man then seeing all the kids get off the bus with me running to their friends but me just standing there walking into school to first period gym. then going home to a house, not my home, a stranger's home according to my mom her close friend barely knew her though. going straight to the basement being scared and anxious "my moms friends" were gonna try talking to me, not eating either cause we had no food. it hurt man, it did everyday same thing. this song brings back so many traumatic memories, we live on though dont we.😔🤘🏻
So true

I hope you and he are doing better now.
Hope he’s back home now :)

i wanna shake a tambourine on stage
maybe you could sing in harmony
Or you could just contribute to the chaos
I would like but it's at 169 and I do want to mess that up
Are you alive?
This song makes me wanna shout so loud.
MISSDavina108 i know the exact feeling you mean
So true
"I wanna contribute to the chaos, I don't wanna watch and then complain cuz I am through finding easy and that's a decision I have made." that's such a powerful lyric...
“I wanna contribute, to the chaos! I don’t wanna watch, and then complain!”
This line just hits hard. The tone, and voice of the singer. The feeling of being done with passing as a shadow. Done with being a pair of eyes of strict rules, but to instead live, and watch the fire burn, even if it means you might get burnt.
thumbs up if you literally shout the lyrics "Hey man I love you but noo fucking waay!!!" at 1:04
Procrasti Nation me 25/8
With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay... You said "Hey man I love you but no fucking way"... :(
Wow, I can’t believe people are only NOW figuring out about this song. Been such a fan of the front bottoms for a while and this was one of their bigger songs. If you guys liked this song, DEFINITELY check out their others, this band literally never misses when it comes to music. I highly recommend“12 feet deep” and “the plan”

Since I moved 3 years ago I've been sleeping on a twin size mattress because my parents don't really give a shit about my well being, I got enough for a good high quality bed (small double) and it was supposed to turn up today, I've got everything else for it expect the bed, I'm genuinely cursed forever to sleep on a twin size mattress..
Update: got my bed today, it's big as fuck compared to what I had before, gonna take some getting used to but things will turn out just fine guys
Im moving out soon and have only ever had a twin size for the same reason and will have one for a long time until I have enough saved up. You did it!! Hopefully i can do it too
I hope in the future you turn out okay
My friend I've known for almost my whole life has recently left to go to Madagascar for life. She says she'll visit during the summer holidays but, considering the state of the world at the moment, I very much doubt she will anytime soon. Every day I miss her more and more. She was one of the very few people I felt I could truly be myself around. I'd tell her all my secrets and, no matter how strange I was, she always accepted me for who I was. Even when we were apart, I texted and called her all the time, so we never were really apart. The best bit about it all, the sleepovers. I really liked genuinely being with her, so I tried to do it as much as I can. We both had a lot of fun. We were like sisters from different families. Out of the billions of people in the world, I'm really glad I met her, cause I don't know where I'd be without her. I was shattered when I saw her text saying she was moving miles away from Home, and I feel like this song, especially 0:55 - 1:08 really helps to express the heartbreak I felt when she left. Sure, we can still, text, but knowing that I'll never feel the full thrill of being with the girl who helped me through tough times in person is too much to bear...
If you've bothered to read this far, wow.. Thanks for caring about how some girl on the internet feels at the moment, I really appreciate it. Stay safe!
And I'll miss you, Jenny...

This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames of my friends bodies

This is for the snakes and the people they bite
For the friends I've made; for the sleepless nights
For the warning signs I've completely ignored
There's an amount to take, reasons to take more
It's no big surprise you turned out this way
When they close their eyes and prayed you would change
And they cut your hair, and sent you away
You stopped by my house the night you escaped
With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay
You said, hey man, I love you but no fucking way
I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage
Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies
This is for the lake that me and my friends swim in
Naked and dumb on a drunken night
And it should've felt good
But I can hear the Jaws theme song on repeat in the back of my mind
Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face
There are lessons to be learned, consequences for all the stupid things I say
And it is no big surprise you turned out this way
The spark in her eyes
The look on your face
I will not be late
I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage
Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing you sing harmonies
I wanna contribute to the chaos

@@I.Am.Dragun87 it’s in the description.
@@Bean_is_green didn’t do anything. Just copied the description.
Does it help to hear this song again. Or bad timing.
i've now realized this song is about a gay friend and a mother sending him to camp... i look at it different now
nayla I thought it was about an addict.
I though about a trans girl? She grew her hair out and they cut it and sent her away to “become a man”?
i think it's about someone turning toxic and there friends trying to push them away and they don't want them to leave-
its actually about a drug addicted friend. he was sent to rehab (and i think they shave your hair in rehab, not really sure tho).
I know now its about and addict, but I initially thought it was gay as well.
2:06 "And it is no big surprise you turned out this way. The spark in your eyes, the look on your face. I will not be brave"
Reminds me of every time I remember them and think about how they would've grown and enjoyed their life if they were still here. I just wish I could've spoken to him on the day it happened, at least I could've said that I was there for him. But no. Of course not.
My aunt used to listen to this song and my aunt is like one of my favorite people in the world. And I didn't know the name of the song until about a week ago, but this song has been stuck in my head for years. And has so many meanings to me and so many reasons it has a place in my heart. Its an amazing song. Thanks for being a staple of my childhood, Front Bottoms.
i usually go for more hardcore music but i really like this song
I was the same way until a few months ago. Then something switched. For me, this kind of music says everything is going to be fine. Remember, everything is just a big cosmic joke. Keep that in mind and don't let it be on you. I think we all need a reminder like that from time to time.
I don't know man, when they played this live there was a circle pit and tons of crowd surfers

Hello I came out as biromantic and bisexual today 😌
My parents sent me to a baptist school in 7th grade when they were suspicious that I liked girls, it was only 2 years but they were the worst of my life. I'm finally back in public school with my friends and one of them told me to check this song out. I'm happy to be alive again.

Sophia E we r so funny
As a person who has felt pain for so long this song brings me so much comfort I do anything just to fill the "void" in my heart not to sound emo or anything but I've been through so much and it hurts even if its in the past I'm just glad I found this sound it actually makes me smile and be happy for once
i heard this skeleton on the last day of school, dismissed the band, heard they got signed to fbr, same as twenty one pilots, heard help, and have been listening to all of their stuff.
i understand the hype to this song. good god is this song fantastic.
Listening to this one a lot lately. It reminds me of the last week I lived in the city before I moved back home. (failed to make a life for myself due to the insane cost of living.)
Spent that week slowly packing and cleaning up the apartment I called home for 2 years. Then had a few friends over for one last little drink. One of them played this song quite a few times and now it's burned into my memory. It's bittersweet as fuck. Those 2 years in the city were the best years of my life. Seems like it's all downhill from here. It sucks but I'm thankful I even got to to experience what life is like outside of the shitty rural community you grew up in.
hey man, whoever and wherever you are, I love you. and I don't mean romantically. I mean that you seem cool. you just do. keep on kickin' 🌿🍒🌰
it’s MY mental breakdown and I get to choose the music 😩✋
ok
Unrelated but I had a mental breakdown to emo boy by Ayesha erotica on repeat
I found this really funny and idk why 😭
You
Yesss
Its amazing how this song can so deeply resonate with thousands of people in such different ways.
One ex said she cursed me so I'd never be happy or loved. No offense to wiccans but it didn't work.
she sounds ✨toxic✨
wiccans dont curse trust me
@@chaeviviana she wasn't a pagan and i didn't say witch because it has bad connotations, so sorry. I just don't know the right word. I do know the rule of three though.
Well, if she really was Wiccan she should have looked forward. Sending something like that to someone undeserving is only gonna reflect on her lol. Glad you've found happiness.
That's the lesson to take from all this. Don't date adults who think we live in a harry potter book.
his voice is like tyler joseph and bo burnham fused
it sounds like PUP and twenty one pilots to me😂
Sounds like AVA Tom DeLonge but he can pronounce words properly
Bo burnham is the first thing I thought of too
Very accurate 🤣
I get major mcaferty vibes
“There’s an amount to take and a reason to take more” this line always really resonates with me
"there's no big surprise you turned out this way" ....... Hit so hard..
My partner and I loved this song and now that they are at a mental hospital and we can’t talk anymore, this song is the only thing keeping me company until they get better.
How are yall
Holy shit, is everything better now?
It is insane how impactful this band and this song is on me. I'm not being mushy with words when I say this song and this band is my soul. It touches me so deep deep down in my person and makes me feel such a unique and melancholy nostalgic feeling.
I WANNA CONTRIBUTE TO THE CHAOS
I WANNA
I found this song in my darkest time. I was 12 and I was in a very dark place at the time and I found this song. It made me bawl my eyes out on floor of my bedroom in the middle of the night. Some of the lyrics hit so close to home especially "It's no big surprise you turned out this way." Something I told myself constantly because I was being tormented at school and tormented at home and my mind never gave me a chance to breath but when I found this, despite making me sob, it gave my mind a moment of peace. I'm 18 at the time of writing this and I'm currently in a not great place mentally again (for different reasons this time) and this song still makes me sob but still gives my mind the moment of peace I need.
For me, this song represents my early 20s. So many of my friends were making such crazy choices with there lives and living off the bare minimum with no regard to how society saw them. Looking back at it now it was a wild rebellious time and though we didn’t have much it’s hard to remember a time when things felt this genuine and free. 8 people deep in a single apartment, dumpster diving behind Krispy Kreme’s for leftover donuts they throw out after closing. Drinking 40oz on random rooftops and parking garages. Zero interest in social standards or responsibilities just living life reckless and beautifully free. Malnourished and wirery frames but happy
Twin Size Mattress tells the story of a close friendship damaged and eventually destroyed by addiction. It is among the most beloved Front Bottoms songs.
I USED TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG SO MUCH, the amount of breakdowns i had to this song is insane. this song hits so hard its been so long since i listened to this song.. I WAS HAVING A BREAKDOWN EARLIER AND OML THIS SONG TURNED ON THE MEMORIES JS CAME FLOODING IN. had too many bad memories to this song but im so grateful this song existed when i needed it, it helped me through sm bad times.
I know that it's not what the songs about but it reminds me of the months before my friend ended their life. All the signs of their depression all of my begging for them to stay with no success. The end part reminds me of how I am now mentally stuck at the age I was when they died, never truly getting past it.
I’m sorry
This song is literally my best friend. Whenever I’m overthinking everything I always find my self playing this song. It’s always here for me and I love it so much.
As a kid who was falsely accused of something that would've ruined my life at the age of 13 this song is a comfort song for me
Are you okay? That sounds rough
OH MY GOD TWINSIES
Jesus I'm 13 and that sounds horrible
Yeah same
do you still eat leaf mold@@i-eat-leaf-mold
