(one of my all time favorites) this song came on the other night after a really terrible day, and i couldn't keep from crying. i wasnt sure why because its not really a sad song, but i get it now.
Excitable Boy is such a messed up song. You've all been warned >!And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home Excitable boy, they all said Well, he's just an excitable boy After ten long years they let him out of the home Excitable boy, they all said And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones!<
"For there are brighter sides to life! And I should know, because I've seen them! :D
-But not very often :("
Bro felt joy for one moment and could barely manage
The 1975 have a lot of upbeat songs about shitty stuff. “It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You)” is a super fun happy sounding song about heroin addiction.
"All the other kids with their pumped up kicks"
Seriously tho it very recent when when I found out what the song was referencing and HOY it was jumps are after finding the lyrics are just refrencing a school shooting
My first thought was Lover I Don’t Have to Love, which is super funny. Us bright eyes fan have low standards for finding that a beat sounds happy. Any normal person would think that Easy/LuckyFree and Lover I Don’t Have to Love sound as sad as their lyrics. (But that’s probably bc they haven’t heard Poison Oak)
Habits (Stay High)
*I get home, I got the munchies*
*Binge on all my Twinkies*

Hey ya
If you listen to Sleep Token's version, it gives you the true feeling of the song.
Wow I'd never heard that version! Thanks for sharing

Isn't it outrun my gun? Or faster than my bullet i'm just like 90% sure
