No Future Part III: Escape from No Future Lyrics

I think that, going along with the theme of the entire album, it's about internal struggle in general. The line about needing something that works faster and not wanting to feel anything is probably about antidepressents, but there is something bigger than just that.

It's an internal Civil War. Possibly about selling out. The line "took what made me beautiful and I threw it away" lends to that.

I feel like this is about the times in life when you think you won't make it anymore. That you have to quit. Feelings that envelop you in darkness. You will always be a loser. But then you get through the rough patches and you say a big fuck you to the guy in the dungeon down inside you. Getting to the point where you accept yourself and say it's OK.

Well said.

@manofmanyfrowns I'm seeing this band for the first time tomorrow. I'm WAY over their target audience, but every generation goes through this at some point in their late teens or early 20s.

Great comment, btw.
