| Actually, Francis has stated on multiple occasions that he wrote literally all of the lyrics to this album. Ben didn't do anything and didn't even show up to practices while they were writing the album. Get your shit together, pal. | |

This song is about Soupy and his girlfriend breaking up last November. And moving out of the house they lived in. And the emotional breakdown he had in an Outback Steakhouse bathroom when he found out The Upsides leaked on Christmas Eve. |

Straight from Soupy: I woke up today and put all my shit in boxes. It’s eight a.m. so I’m glad I wasn’t out late. I woke up today. I guess it’s good I hadn’t finished unpacking all of this in the first place. The suburbs have abandoned me. I’ve had the same best friend since ’93. I call, he’s not answering. I can’t get comfortable on my own street. I’m not fond of South Philly or how my neighbors love ICP. I guess it’s better than Bancroft Street. At least the fridge here works and the walls don’t leak. At least I’m starting to see what’s left for me. We moved on again so I packed my shit and left home. It’s alright to think I still belong to something I don’t because I can see why you’d think so. Nothing made me feel further away than ‘Left and Leaving’ through a blown car stereo. Nothing made me feel closer to home than ‘Ready to Die’ through my headphones. So, we reached the coast. Where do we sleep tonight? Damned if I know. We’ll try to stay at the airport. “You can’t send us home, man. We’ve got no place to go.” Don’t say it’s up to me. The creaks in the floorboards are calling out to me. I’m laying here again with my head on my backpack, wrapped in my hoodie. This is how it is when... I stacked ‘Lonelier than God’ next to ‘You Get So Alone Sometimes.’ I know how this must look from the outside. It took almost thirteen months for me to be where I feel fine. I’m not as sad as I let myself believe sometimes. |

| The Wonder Years – It's Never Sunny In South Philadelphia Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
So I'm stuck here wide awake In the wake of bad news. We know now what's at stake. And I'm scared, too. You know that I can't take naps 'cause they end in panic attacks. I can't play video games because I always end up depressed. I can't be left alone now for even a second. I'm a burden, but at least I know it. Only part you messed up on. |

| The Wonder Years – Hey Thanks Lyrics | 16 years ago |

| The Wonder Years – All My Friends Are In Bar Bands Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Jack says he loves the winter here 'Cause there are days when everyone's as miserable as him. And Josh says it smells like cheap beer and loathing here. It could be the van, but it's probably just his breath. Max dropped out of college, he likes to say he finished. He's working back home with his dad. He and Kevin got matching tattoos of their initials and three X's down their legs. Well, I've got like-minded dudes in Detroit or Vancouver, Newport, Bulkhead, and Brahm. I don't know where I am, but I know where I came from. So everyone moved in with their girlfriends. In one-bedroom apartments. In the town that we grew up in and All my friends are in bar bands. I don't know how it happened But I hope it pays the rent. And still there's some days when I don't think that we'll ever see Dave again. Jess is working three jobs just to stay ahead. Spiro lied about his major, but it's working out for him. Nick and Reggie got a place together by the train station. I've spent twenty-two years just wading through bullshit And hey, it's worked so far. I don't know why I'm here, but I know who my friends are. So everyone moved in with their girlfriends. In one-bedroom apartments. In the town that we grew up in and All my friends are in bar bands. I don't know how it happened But I hope it pays the rent. And still there's some days when I don't think that we'll ever see Dave again. We moved on again, we're not wasting away. I'm not sad anymore, I'm just tired of this place. If this year would just end, I think we'd all be okay. |

I'm not sad anymore, I'm just tired of this place. The weight of the world be okay if it would pick a shoulder to lean on So I could stand up straight. I'm not sad anymore, I'm just tired of this place. The homophobic bullshit that's somehow okay Just because you didn't mean it that way. I can't take anymore of all the scum in this place. Shitty dudes with tribal tattoos all around, Lining up cheap beer and roofies for a party at their place. Trying to convince freshmen they're somebody By spending all of their parents' money on kegstands And Matt says I don't fit in. All this mallrat goth shit is killing me. Thought that would end with high school at least. But there are still kids and Matt says "College hit those dudes like a ton of bricks." So they're calling it blasphemy, A fucking catastrophe For saying it's a stupid choice to make. But this place just brings misery. I hate what it does to me. I fight, but I can't escape the way that I don't fit in with any of this. And I don't think we're the same. I'm fucking losing my head trying to understand this. Kids outside with guitars hoping for someone to notice. No one wants to hear your sappy bullshit. All these fake-tan girls laughing at art school kids Getting lots in return for being substance-less. You're too caught in semantics to see it, But you're no fucking different. So they're calling it blasphemy, A fucking catastrophe For saying it's a stupid choice to make. But this place just brings misery. I hate what it does to me. I fight, but I can't escape the way that I don't fit in with any of this. And I don't think we're the same. No. I'm not sad anymore, I'm just waiting. It's two more months 'til I'm done with this. And I don't make sense to anyone but my best friends. And I don't fit in anywhere but the back of the van. |

They turned on the fountain today at Logan Circle I felt something in me change I was thinking about How we all feel, but the worlds not such a shitty place We just can't blame the seasons The Blue Man Group won't cure depression I can see we brought it on ourselves With bad attitudes and You should come by at eleven, You haven't seen the new apartment We'll laugh about the shit we got into in high school and I can't pretend I'm afraid that we're wasting away 'cause we're all sleeping in circles or talking shit in diners and I've been better, but I'm feeling okay I'm not even sad anymore I'm just so tired most nights And I've been drowning my sorrows In Lucky Charms and Soy Milk These are the things that keep me sane Getting pretzels at midnight behind my house at the price you, can't complain We set of fireworks Piss off the whole neighborhood They keep me up having sex anyway seem much worse We'll set off a few more Maybe I'll blow off a piece of this city I hate I'm afraid that we're wasting away 'cause we're all sleeping in circles or talking shitty diners and I've been better but I'm feeling ok I'm not even sad anymore I'm just so tired most nights They turned on the fountain today at Logan Circle They turned on the fountain today They turned on the fountain today at Logan Circle I felt something in me change I'm afraid that we're wasting away I'm afraid, I'm afraid that we're wasting away 'cause we're all sleeping in circles or talking shitty diners and I've been better but I'm feeling ok I'm not even sad anymore I'm just so tired most nights |

Hey home, it's nice to see you. I'm glad to see that the street got paved. Hey Matt, what have you been up to? Is the shower working? I could use one today. We've got walls painted in chain grease, And shelves full of Bukowski poetry. That's enough for me. That's enough for me. And these backyard nights are finally catching up to us. So sing it louder, man. Let's turn it up. And these bright pink walls and green rugs are just enough. We don't need more. You know we don't need much. Oh man, my Asian neighbors have been holding church services in their kitchen. God damn, what if they know of our plans to raise an army of homeless men in the basement? We've got bike parts littering everything, And friends coming over to watch pro-wrestling. That's enough for me. And these backyard nights are finally catching up to us. So sing it louder, man. Let's turn it up. And these bright pink walls and green rugs are just enough. We don't need more. You know we don't need... This place is falling apart, And the fridge here hasn't worked since March. And so we're never paying rent unless you come and fix The shape of how things are. This place is falling apart. We know one day we'll move on. Good bye, so long. And these backyard nights are finally catching up to us. So sing it louder, man. Let's turn it up. And these bright pink walls and green rugs are just enough. We don't need more. You know we don't need much. |

This is what I hear. We need vices We need vices Where's all my hope and my marriage license? Those days are dead (forgive me) Those days are dead (forgive me) Those days are dead (forgive me) We need vices at fifty thousand degrees She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground And jumped ???? (Oh no) To tell a kid in the manger Where is my shrink and my mind eraser? (We sing the saddest song) That forest burned (You see smoke) That forest burned (A halo) That forest burned We need ten years, everyone, so we can return. She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground And jumped We need vices We need vices We either needed a prayer or just our disguises. Those days are dead (forgive me) Those days are dead (forgive me) Those days are dead (forgive me) ?????? She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground She said goodbye to the ground And jumped |

| Brand New – Noro Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Little light, lead us through the night And if we die, burn down the forest. Chariots carry us Distances we don't care to walk. I'm on my way to Hell. Why doesn't anyone I know sleep? Are they all just scared of their dreams? When they lay their heads down at night, What are they haunted by? Why won't anyone just close their eyes? Could it hurt them to rest for a while? Do they need their friend to be a lover? Or a lover to be a friend? Because I'm on my way to Hell. Well, I've tried. God knows that I've tried. Sitting duck, running out of luck. Our car's stuck on the train crossing. How am I ever going to know peace? How will I ever see the light through the trees? I want to burn down everything we've begun. I want to kill and eat my young. I'm on my way to Hell. |

Yeah. He proposed to her and she rejected him. Note the "You're my favorite bird and when you sing, I really do wish you would wear my ring" in Degausser. A lot of Devil and God is about her. |
|
| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Ugh. You obviously never heard the original version of the song. | |
| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Degausser, You Won't Know, and Not The Sun are all overtly about his relationship with Sherri DuPree from Eisley. And the fact that he proposed to her and got rejected because she was cheating on him with Chad Gilbert. Nice try, though. |

I'm pretty sure it's "We all try to fake a way." Not "away." Makes a lot more sense. |
|
| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| For the record, the guitar in the verses is eerily reminiscent of El Scorcho by Weezer. | |
| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I love how you try to say that they've "Grown away from relationship songs" when in reality, a good portion of Devil and God was about Sherri DuPree and how torn up about her he was. Moron. |
|
| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Gonna have to say this song is about Sherri DuPree from Eisley. And her divorce from Chad Gilbert. And the fact that Jesse's still not over her. And I'm pretty sure it's "I made little lives and then I pulled them apart." "lives." Not "lies." |
|
| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
And you're totally wrong about the bridge. I'm not sure about the first part, but I hear the rest as: "Now I'm drowning in the flood I made. Well explain myself to me on the other side. I'll watch from Heaven when I die." |
|
| Brand New – At the Bottom Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It's "lives" Not "lies." "I made little LIVES and then I pulled them apart." It makes a lot more sense and there's a distinct V sound. |
