LYRICS (scroll down)
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
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 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.
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
twin size mattress is the trauma version of ribs by lorde
this dude gets it
chloe HAHA yes 😳😳
skeletonjaiden thats, really accurate
yes
YES OMG
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.
im so sorry, man. ❤️
As a person with Autism I feel the struggle he was going through..
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.
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😊
can't put my finger on it, but for some reason this song means so damn much to me
It´s TeaTime, The Front Bottoms have that effect on people. 💕
This helped me through the worst of my depression, it is one of my favorite songs
yea me too.
Same
My friend killed herself right after posting a selfie with some lyrics to this song... that's why it means so much to me. ♡
“there’s no big surprise you turned out this was” really hits me idk why, i just feel like such a burden atm
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. :)
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
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.
"For the friends I've made; for the sleepless nights; for the warning signs I've completely ignored" Damn. So many memories.
That part played as I was reading
I know it’s been like 3yrs since you’ve posted this comment and I am a complete stranger but I hope your doing good :p
@@sumayahabaza274 Hi
those memories
Dang i don't remember writing this comment 3 years ago, but i sure do remember the deep depression i was in. It gets better guys, i promise.
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!
THIS IS SO SWEET AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
That’s adorable!
AWWWW I LOVE THISSS
Goddamnit, this is beautiful
This is so wholesome
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

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...
I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage (be late)
Maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing, you sing harmonies

@@katiesatan1430could you discropise that word to me please
"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 wanna contribute to the chaos;I don't wanna watch and then complain"
Guess who finally decided on their senior quote?
Eunice Rivera you?
Sorry to ruin all the fun
are you contributing to the chaos or what Eunice?
did you do it?
Renaldo Matadeen no lmao did she use it as her senior quote
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 love how this song has a different meaning for everyone, but we all get that one indescribable feeling from it.
"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.
“‘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
"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.
BE MY GF PLZ IM TIRED OF EVERYONE I MEET CHANGING I WANT SOMEONE REAL
EzraTheWitch it always give me big trans/gay vibes 🥰
@@Voiidpriince then stop being gay lmao
Moonstatue you can’t stop being gay just like you can’t stop being straight lmao it’s who you’re naturally attracted too 😂💀
Moonstatue lol and be STRAIGHT? No thanks I’m good
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
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
“It’s no big surprise you turned out this way” that stung..

@@RealestMofoOnTheBlock yess king 👑 🌸
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
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 😭
"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

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

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

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

“I wanna contribute to the chaos, I don’t wanna watch and then complain” I love this line so much!
my outlook on life
"Hey, man, I love you, but no fucking way"
this song hits hard for so many different reasons but it never fails to make me cry
me too
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.
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
@@trentgregory2884 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.
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
“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.
“Its no big surprise you turned out this” this hits hard. My dad and most of his family are drug addicts and I always say in my head “I’m gonna turn out like him I’m already this fucked up how much worse can it get” I also feel so pathetic and selfish when listening to this song because this is the song I almost ended my life listening to. Whenever I hear this song I get reminded of the selfishness of my actions, how I would’ve left behind my struggling friends, my mom, my fucking little brother for gods sake! I don’t know why I just can’t handle my emotions like everyone else?
me too bro, almost all of my family are alcoholics and here i am drinking, it makes me feel just like them even though i never ever want to be like them. it just feels good sometimes but then comes the guilt.
*_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!_*

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.

"But it should've felt good, but I can hear the Jaws theme song

"And my nightmares will have nightmares every night"
I love love love this song. It's fkn accurate, and those're all the lyrics that hit stupid close to home.
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.
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 ❤
@@robyn3402 Just try your best, keep pushing and one day everything will be better and you’ll just see everything going right ❤️
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

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.

*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.
“With tears in my eyes I begged you to stay” is so real.
I don't expect this to be seen, and truth be told I couldn't care less if it is or isn't I just need to talk, I lost my Grandma, well heard that she was gone a little over an hour ago and these songs that I've been listening to, including this one, have helped a lot. She meant so much to me, and out of respect I won't say she 'lost her battle' she battled her cancer to a draw, and I have so much respect for her for it.
as a trans guy whose parents aren't the most accepting. this hits DIFF
Me too bro, me too
Same but I'm a lesbian who's grandpa hates me for being gay 😔
@@thesireen i love you
@@Jessik.. 🥺 thank you
we accept you❤️❤️
This song is cold coffee at night
I heard this song, 3 years ago I think? And thought wow what a fun little tune. Now I hear it and can't stop having that feeling of wanting to sob and scream but having no tears. I lost my friend who I was in love with last year, and couldn't even go to the funeral I was so distraught. He was the kid that everyone had given up on after getting sent to Juvie and vaping and other bad stuff. I never touched that crap, but I had friends who did obviously. He was one of the most beautiful souls I think I've ever met or will meet. Something that surprised me was his knowledge on flowers...I told him about how I had killed orchids once and he chuckled and explained how to care for them right. I think their my favorite flower now because of that. Anyways, all I can think when I hear this song is about him. Every detail.
It's the "They closed their eyes and prayed you would change, and they cut your hair and sent you away" that got me teary-eyed
"Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face" love this line
Welcome to 2020
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
Attention seeking much?
@@meldavid7156 putting people down much?
This song means so much to me. I can't even explain it and I dont know why, but I can't help but love this so much. Cheers to this song for keeping me alive.
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.
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?
With tears in my eyes I begged you to stay
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 was coming here to be sad and then got a mattress advert below the video and just lost it 💀
1:53 "make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face." It's my favorite lyric
The "hey man I love you but no fucking way" sends shivers down my spine.
the songs they make make me feel like they spewed all their anger and sadness into a paper then turned it into a song. To me, if their songs were a color id imagine it as blue hues of sadness and red splatters of anger
idk if anyone else has pointed this out yet, but one of the parts of this song that caught my ear was in the chorus..
when they say "I'm sure that we could find something for you to do onstage. Maybe shake a tambourine, or when I sing, you sing harmonies." a tambourine shakes in the back, and there are people harmonizing with the lead singer. to me that serves as a bit of dramatic irony, like, they already have someone to play the tambourine. they already have people to sing the harmonies. the former line feels like desperation, trying to find somewhere where this person could still fit into their life.
2019 anyone?
Why am I so emotionally attached to this song?
Todoroki Shoto this and flashlight mean so much to me
@NimNomIsland i love wallows so freaking much
been on repeat ever since i found it:)

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
@@crypticcreature5691 hell yeah, good on you dude!
Beautiful comment
I honestly feel that the guy who is singing has lost a friend due to suicide and he blames himself for not helping his friend before he died and now he trys to do somethimg to bring his friend back.
I feel that from lines like "All the warning signs I've completly ignored" or "The spark in your eyes, the look on your face"
Idk if I'm too crazy but that's what I feel.
1 month clean!
Update: 0 months clean.
good luck
clean from what?
@@dannymationsthank you :’)
How goes it?
i hope u r doing okay
“it’s no big surprise you turned out this way” AIN’T THAT THE GODDAMN TRUTH
"She hopes I'm cursed forever to sleep on a twin size mattress in somebody's attic or basement my whole life."
if this isn't the truth I don't know what is...
Marshall Morton I don't think so
fallen-hearted96 "I don't think so" 😂😂😂😂
I don't think it's a girlfriend telling him it I think it's his friends mom
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.
Its amazing how this song can so deeply resonate with thousands of people in such different ways.
My best friend told me he was going to Canada, but instead took his own life over a party that he took blame for. We were teenagers justlooking for a good time. Please take care of your friends. I had a feeling he was going to do it to. And I didn't listen to myself. I now torture myself for not saving him. Talking can change people's lives. And smiles. Talk and smile more.
Sorry for your loss
AND MY NIGHTMARES WILL HAVE NIGHTMARES EVERYNIGHT.
That actually happens for me, though
Skittle Barf same i thought i was the only one
Every single night
Ptsd wont know what hits it
the first half is chill and cool- then two seconds later you're crying
i have a really bad home situation and i love this song because it makes me think of my friends who helped me through it.
high school freshman year nostalgia ❤
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.
This song makes me wanna shout so loud.
MISSDavina108 i know the exact feeling you mean
So true
"this is for the snakes and the people they bite„ is the realist line i've ever heard in a song in a while
The " hey man I love you but no fucking way " just.... just like omg😭✋
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 came from tik tok and yes I did enjoy it so glad I found it 👍💕
Tik tok can go to hell
@@haterzgonnahate89 that's not very cash money of you
