Cover art for The Jitters lyrics by Dismemberment Plan, The

Travis's delivery in this song is awe-inspiring. He sings the whole thing like a disinterested cry for help. When he drags himself to the end of the line "nothing's wrong, I'm just fine/ I've realized I just don't like jokes" you know exactly how this character is feeling. The 5/4 time signature, ride-heavy drums, and perpetually coasting guitar and bass parts add so much to this song. Awesome.
