BETTER OFF THIS WAY - A DAY TO REMEMBER: I personally see this as a friendship falling apart. It really could be any relationship but because of my past experiences and the falling outs that I have had, I see it as a friendship. "I wonder if you'll notice If they lock me up and throw away the key" the friend never cares about anything but themselves. ADTR sees how selfish they are and wonders if they are of any significance to this friend. "Gotta be open minded You've got a lot to learn in the ways of me You've always got to say something" The friend is again self centered and has a problem with everything that doesn't appeal to them. "I'm none of your concern but you won't listen at all" The friend doesn't care about what happens to ADTR, they're so wrapped up on themselves that when someone tries show them that they are a horrible person, they dont see it. "You know I'd rather say nothing And just be proud of myself I'm tearing down these walls." ADTR has tried to suck it up and get past the friends flaws but they can't this time because they're tired if being walked on so they break free. "When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away When you call I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay" ADTR stands up for themselves and makes the decision to leave the friend because they no longer can forgive the friend. "It's all over, I found a better way To help keep you from me, I'm better off this way Wo-oh [x2] I'm better off this way Wo-oh [x2]" ADTR is understanding that they are better off without the friend and they found a way to get away from this friend. "You gotta keep this coming Tell me like you know it but you don't know nothing, your call. We can settle this like gentlemen Or meet me at the back to end it all and start again." The friend keeps acting like they're perfect and like they had no part in the falling apart of the friendship. And ADTR tells them that they can act like a child or they can grow up and make amends "My whole life's been waiting Ever since I can remember been anticipating your fall" ADTR has always been upset with thus person but has never been brave enough to cut it off until now. "And God let it be a long one I can't let go of my life till I know you're done." ADTR is ready to show this person all that they've done to them and how they've hurt them. "When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away When you call I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay It's all over, I found a better way To help keep you from me, I'm better off this way Wo-oh [x2] I'm better off this way Wo-oh [x2]" Yeah we've already been over this... (oh man this verse really hits close to home for me) "You want it, you got it You've always been such a waste of time You want it, you got it A friend of yours is no friend of mine You want it, you got it When will you act your age You want it, you got it You're the reason things have to change" ADTR has stood up for themselves and they dont care at all about their friend and if the friend wants to continue to destroy ADTR then they can be alone. "Wo-oh [x2] You're the reason things have to change Wo-oh [x2]" the friend doesn't understand that what they've done was wrong and ADTR is showing them and is telling the friend that they are sick of it and they won't stand for it. "When you fall I'll be the only one who looks away When you call I'll be the first to tell you I can't stay It's all over, I found a better way To help keep you from me, I'm better off this way Wo-oh [x2] I'm better off this way Wo-oh [x2] I'm better off this way" In case anyone cares about my personal story which us what I based my interpretation on (probably not but I dont care) this is it: In highschool I was friends with this girl (let's call her Amy) who basically walked all over me and was a selfish bitch. She always told me what to do and she only talked to me when she was bored or when she needed someone to tell her problems to. And I didn't see this until I was a junior, six years after we had met and become friends. This was after she sabotaged my friendship with someone who she was "in love" with and she used that as her excuse. So, we were at a sleepover with a few other friends (let's call them Amber, Ellie and Natasha) and the topic of this guy (let's call him Ryan) came up. He was in a relationship for two years as of this happening and Amy still threw herself at him like the bitch she was. Not only that but he had been flirting with about three other girls as well. So Ellie mentioned how weird it was that he was doing that and Amber called him a slight douche. Natasha had previously dated this guy and it took TWO YEARS for him to respect her after that (it was kinda a messy ending, Nat had found out that she was a lesbian and it was just really messy) and Nat was the most neutral person out of all of us. I only asked her why she had been throwing herself at him when she knew he was dating someone. So Amy was crying to Ryan about how we had been "harassing her" and "yelling at him" and she flat out lied to him. To this day he doesn't know what really happened and he hates Natasha with every fiber of his being. So anyway, this fucking skank was smiling as she apologized and her peace offering was fucking iced tea. After like a week of being furious at this bitch my friends made me forgive her. And so it was okay for a bit. Except for the fact that she still obsesses over him even though she trashed a good friendship I had with this guy. Even when I told her to stop and that it wasn't right. But it was okay for the most part. But she had ditched us on Ambers 17th birthday to hang out with this guy at a basketball game. After that I started seeing her differently. I saw the real reasons to why she would talk to me. She didn't care about me at all. So I told her that I didn't want her to call me anymore or have me drive her to football games and such. I told her why too, I told her that she was selfish and I was sick of being walked on. I was tired of always being the bad guy because she always spun it to be my fault. I haven't talked to her since but I really was better off without her.
The story was.......interesting.Very well explained and based on what happen in your life. One day,some thing similar happened to me,I won't tell the story.but I'm just trying to say that everywhere there's selfish people even close friends can be selfish. That's why,I have no friend,no friend means that this never gonna happen.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and your interpretation of the song. I kinda thought the same thing about the song too, with my own situation on this one guy I had recently that I am dealing with. He is causing me some problems and I wanted to defend my friendships so we can be better off without him. No more dramas, just plain fun times with good friends only. Again, thank you for sharing. You are doing God's work.
Not wrong. I actually noticed something after a minute into it, too. I was thinking it was a sad relationship kind of thing. Then after a bit, he says "We can settle this like gentlemen, or". So maybe it's more about 2 guys, and him losing a best friend that was too controlling or something. More or less. I always like how the song starts off, regardless.
something I've always loved about adtr is how they write sad songs from a positive perspective that's something I really wanna do with a lot of the lyrics I write
there may be a couple gramatical errors and lyric fails (i didnt see any but i might have missed some) but i love how the effects seem to fit right into the way he says things at just the right time. it's such a well made video that i think the quality of video makes up for any errors. i love it!
they aren't always compared and we aren't comparing them now :) we are just arguing over which is better even though it doesn't matter and its all a matter of opinion i find it entertaining to piss off the ignorant :) good day mam
I’m going through a rough break up right now was with her for 5 years my longest relationship I loved her planned on spending my life with her and she cheated lead me on lied and used me just too much for me to handle and this song is helping me get through this right now thank goodness..
"You want it, you've got it, when will you act your age, you want it, you’ve got it, you’re the reason things have to change." That reminds me of soo many people its scary.
Why is everyone raging about other comments? This song is amazing! Listen to it and just relax... In my opinion, music like this is 3 minutes and 30 seconds of rest. :) Thumbs up for 0:00 - 3:30 !!
My whole life I spent waiting Ever since I can remember I've been anticipating your fall And God let it be a long one I can't let go of my grudge till I know you're done
whoa i just read everything thts hardcore im sorry tht uve been thru all tht.....dnt worry its gona be okay u just hav to wait for tht special someone to come by u kno?? just hang in their
I love several types of music, classical music, classic 60s rock, 70s disco, 80's pop and metal, 90s hip hop and alternative, the 2000s hiphop/ r&b/rap, alternative bands, then the 2010's trap hip hop, harcore rock, alternative, disney, Persian music from friends, etc... point is...idk...but I like modern rap and this shit so that counts for something
This song is dedicated to my ex best friend. I adored her and she was my best friend for 5 years. She broke my heart and was suddenly shocked when I broke hers. I'm not entirely mad at her anymore and I forgive her but I know I'm better off ✊
I haven't heard this song in almost a year. Still as good as I remember. I will forever love this band 😍😝
same
likewise
The beginning sounds so fucking awesome. It gets me every damn time.
Totally agree
Best part of the song is the intro and pre-chorus. I could do without the chorus.
This whole song along slaps so hard except maybe the woah-UH-oaaah part, idk bout that
@@Levijensen-pl1mn true
A modern angry rock song that has no profanity or inappropriate references and is good quality? No way! Also, Rest in Piece Colin Wyckoff
+Russiantoaster honestly didn't think it was possible lol
Try "Helena" by My Chemical Romance. One of my favorites.
*****
It seems you may be the only person to have that kind of reaction. Most people actually like MCR, so it's rare to meet your shitty species.
+g0d0fw4r98 Lol That band it fucking shit
Brandie Housel
Your English is fucking shit.
“You’re the reason things have to change” that line hurts every time
Good
Some time all you can do is move forward and leave all of the rest behind 🙂
So much rage. I love it.
+ rip kitty0706 hes videos made me laugh even at the saddest days
When you fall...I'll be the only one who looks away!♥
***** You must be bored to comment on my comment. :P
hell yeah, sing it out loud
lmfao
+David Kline shut up David, god David; wtf, David.
you realize that line is about basically forgetting someone. leaving them behind
Ultimate "moving-on" song. I love it!
On my kids
This song never gets old nor does this band adtr kicks major ass
this whole album was amazing, and this is one of my favorite songs off of it

Been anticipating your fall
Your right the lyrics had a lot of mistakes in it
You're right
I love these deep conversations on youtube. This educates me in some way.
Omg memories! I forgot about this song. ❤️
Reminds me of how much I hate some of my ex's 😂
I don't have ex's I have Y's
+Sabrina Di Pietro y did I date you

memories, oh sweet memories
High school with ADTR playing nonstop?
Anyone been at their concert when they play this and do double crowd surfing? Flipping awesome
Exactly how I feel about all my enemies, and if you have alot of enemies, you have to be doing something right.
An angry rock song made in the last 5 years that has no profanity whatsoever? I'm pleasantly shocked.
WorldWalker128 Easycore not Rock!
Ain’t nobody give a fuck about profanity. Would’ve still been a bomb ass song with it🤣
@@AlexanderR32 Definitely rock bro
there may be a couple gramatical errors and lyric fails (i didnt see any but i might have missed some) but i love how the effects seem to fit right into the way he says things at just the right time. it's such a well made video that i think the quality of video makes up for any errors. i love it!
Elliot brought me here. R.I.P KITTY0706
I always thought it was "ever since I can remember, been anticipating your fall"
Oh god, so have I!
Because it is "ever since I can remember been anticipating your fall"
Nandee Fuery That's because it is.
this are some true words :) cheers! :D
This was the first song I heard by them and I instantly fell in love. ADTR
This song helps me alot cuz I decided to be single all my life and sometimes I start overthinking ...listening to this makes it go away :)
First time listener and I like it :))
To help keep you from me, I'm better off this way 😪
this band is so amazing live!!!!
I show people on my bus this song and they call it trash.
Then they start to play there shitty rap songs that nobody can understand.
PlanePond I know, people don't appreciate this godlike music 👌
PlanePond to be fair, music is subjective
PlanePond
this is why I hang out with who I do. we walk around school blasting our songs and no one can say anything because we just turn it up.
rainbows 369 wow, you're edgey, arguing with someone on the Internet that you've never seen before
MrMopsyBoi mkay. cool

My friend told me about this band and I was like OH MY GOD! I fell in love..

Doesn't matter what your going thru ex's, friends, or new life. Always think your better off with all the old negative bullshit in life
Wow, I have a new favorite song. :D
:) Keep on doing what you do. Jesus Christ forever! But yes, I do listen to this band.
"You want it, you've got it, when will you act your age, you want it, you’ve got it, you’re the reason things have to change." That reminds me of soo many people its scary.
THIS is real music.
Dude, I love you. :3
This song is fire af
This band is lite!!!!!!!!
Reminds me of my middle school years and warped tour days 😂
"When you fall, I'll be the only one who looks away"? Psh, I would be laughing my head off.
Why is everyone raging about other comments? This song is amazing! Listen to it and just relax... In my opinion, music like this is 3 minutes and 30 seconds of rest. :)

best song ever !!!!!!!!!!!!
A friend of yours is no friend of mine!... You're the reason things have to change!!
It is 2024.
...I miss when I used to see this video was only a few years ago.
