Excuse me my son
But do you believe
That you are without divine company
Come with me now
I'll show you the way, now join today
I have no appetite for your control
Please go away and just leave me alone
I'll search on my own
I don't need a guide for my soul
So when you feel lost
Or losing your hope
Reconsider this antidote
Hold on to me
I'll show you the way, now join today
I have no appetite for your control
Please go away and just leave me alone
I'll search on my own
I don't need a guide for my soul
Let me choose the path to take
Cause it's my own choice to make
And I'll challenge this to you
What if I told you
You were programmed to obey
And what if I told you
I didn't need you and your flock
Cause I'll find my own way
I have no appetite for your control
Please go away
And just leave me alone
I'll search on my own
I don't need a guide for my soul
But do you believe
That you are without divine company
Come with me now
I'll show you the way, now join today
I have no appetite for your control
Please go away and just leave me alone
I'll search on my own
I don't need a guide for my soul
So when you feel lost
Or losing your hope
Reconsider this antidote
Hold on to me
I'll show you the way, now join today
I have no appetite for your control
Please go away and just leave me alone
I'll search on my own
I don't need a guide for my soul
Let me choose the path to take
Cause it's my own choice to make
And I'll challenge this to you
What if I told you
You were programmed to obey
And what if I told you
I didn't need you and your flock
Cause I'll find my own way
I have no appetite for your control
Please go away
And just leave me alone
I'll search on my own
I don't need a guide for my soul

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
THis is my favorite hooba song .its deeper in meaning than most, and I can TOTALLY relate to this, how religion expects you to fall into the mold without question, but what if you want to make your own? This is exactly what i feel. i only figured out what this song was talking about after hearing it many, many times (i had no lyrics then) but when i did i was blown away and listened to it over and over going WOW WOW, OH WOW I KNOW JUST HOW YA FEEL, DOUGIE!!!
this is such a great song. hoobastank's music from before they were famous is so great, and its too bad it took them a spot on TRL to get noticed, cuz i hate TRL with a passion.
this song just fits exactly how i feel about organized religion sometimes, esp. after i found all this security, and then realized i had just become a follower with everyone else. amazing, amazing song.
they're beyond amazing in concert too :-)
This song can mean whatever you think it means...so I'm not putting you down for your interpretation. I hate to preach, but don't tarnish the image of Hoobastank. No matter what Doug's views on organized religion are...the truth (I read it on their website or an affiliated sebsite) is that it's about his father. Get it? I understand how he feels and I understand how you'd mistake it.
Actually, this song IS about religion. I've heard it's about Doug's father, but then I've heard it's about a man he saw on the streets. Either way, it's a song about someone trying to force their religious beliefs on you.
i love this song so much! does anyone know where i can find the acoustic version of it?? does anyone have a link to it?? please help!
