Cover art for This Is the House That Doubt Built lyrics by A Day to Remember

"Don't get me started on what it means to be alive you're lying to yourself if you sound and act surprised could you stand become the source of what you are the wolves in sheep's clothing will only lead so far so find your way and you'll go cause in the end we all end up alone so just wait you'll know"

I think that's about people who act content with their lives and their friends, but the bottom line is that if they put any thought into it, they really aren't happy, they just stay so busy (getting fucked up everynight could be a good example) that they don't realize how shitty their lives are. Also that their friends wouldn't really be there in the end if it came down to it "in the end we all end up alone so just wait you'll know".

"I rely on myself just making sure that was clear I'm not in need of your crutches I face all my face fears and I want what I knew I could have life is not a monster make the best of what you have"

I think that's about people who are afraid of living their own lives and supporting themselves, thinking that it's easier to rely on other people than to just do things themselves. Or crutches might refer to people who can't cope with reality, so they use drugs and alcohol to cope. "Life is not a monster, make the best of what you have" could refer to how people think life is shitty so they rely on drugs and alcohol.

So ultimately, I think my interpretation of this song would be that it's about relying on things other than yourself, whether you're relying on other people, drugs, alcohol or any other thing that helps you cheat life.

I'M CODY TRAVIS BITCHHH

My Interpretation

Sooo, kid,, you got the lyrics all messed up. "don't get me started on what it means to be alive. you're lying to yourself and then still act surprised, cause you're scared. can't come to terms with what you are. the wolves in sheep's clothing will only lead you so far."

"I rely on myself, just making sure that was clear. I'm not in need of your crutches, I've faced all my fears and I won what I knew I could have. life is not a punch card, make the best of what you have."
