Life Lessons Learned the Hard Way Lyrics

Life lessons learned the hard way.

4 people waited in a random white unmarked van. Parked outside your hotel high rise garage. To use a tire iron to break the bones inside your legs. Too bad you never came outside that's all right, cause in the end you'll get wrecked. Ya in the end you'll get wrecked.

I heard a little girl killed herself today, that bloods on your hands. It's on your hands, when everyone knows your face nothin's safe.

You'll live your life as a fucking target.

You've earned my disgust.

"I heard a little girl killed herself today, that bloods on your hands. It's on your hands, when everyone knows your face nothin's safe."

    Based on this I think it is directly related to the people who caused Amanda Lund to kill her self. But I think the song is generally about cyber bullying and sick people can be just for a laugh. Toward the end of the song right after "You've earned my disgust." you hear a spitting noise. 

   Based on my opinion, I feel the song does a good job putting it in perspective. How sick of a human being are you to cause that kind of pain in someone who hasn't lived life enough to know better. It's sick.

i thought the same thing. i also had another less likely theory. That it could possibly be about Justin Beiber. i mean he had that rumor go around of A: calling a girl a beached whale and B: that she killed her self over it. also, the line "when everyone knows your face, nothings safe. you live your life as a fucking target" i mean can be any glorified douche bag that encouraged a suicide, but also even more so celebrities. and Jeremy being a celebrity i don't think he'd give a shit enough to be phased by some random asshole...

Generally speaking, A Day To Remember only write nasty songs like this about people they have beef with, its very rarely (if ever) about someone they've never met or don't know.

This song is most likely about Hunter Moore, they kicked him out of a festival they were playing after he hosted explicit material of one of the band members on his site.

They haven't had a chance to publicly acknowledge the incident (in musical form at least) until now, the lyrics fit perfectly and it most likely is about Hunter Moore.

Jeremy also stated in a conversation that it is an aimed song and said "We used 'you live your life as a fucking target' as a shout out to him and how he lives his life", so its not just a general song about bullies or something.
