Fear And Loathing On Long Island Lyrics

Cover art for Fear And Loathing On Long Island lyrics by Latterman

I think it's pretty clearly about rejecting the romanticization of self-loathing and self-destruction that predominated the scene at the time; specifically, Latterman positions themselves pretty firmly opposite of the reigning emo scene of the mid-00s.

I think

"Get me home again, get me home again. Start to search for a good friend"

and

"Break the bottle, I still won't find you in the bottom Or anywhere around here"

have some interesting continuity between them, and flow well into the sarcasm of the next line.

Excellent song.
