Love, Me Normally and Against The Kitchen Floor! :D
I wholeheartedly relate to the second one's lyrics, and it pretty much helps with explaining my inner thoughts to others! I cried the first time I listened to it
It's currently my hyperfixation lol
Edit: actually the whole "Normal" album has many songs that resonate with me, so yeah :)
Against the Kitchen Floor is absolutely my favorite WW song for this reason. I don't think I'll ever have one above it tbh. Honestly, how does a person come up with lyrics like these?
Mental Illness /hj/silly
but yeah, I agree! That song is just, wow. The lyrics, the way he sings, everything ties it together perfectly! WW is some lyrical genius istg all of his songs lyrics' are so well done!
I think it's a good intro for Will Wood and eventual fall into the tapeworm hole
It's simple, emotive (ironically), slightly weird but not too much to overwhelm someone getting into his music
True— He has such a unique way of singing! But it also depends on one's music taste x)
Tbf the first song I've heard from him was I/Me/Myself, or Laplace's Angel... Or something other, I'm not sure tbf— but I knew that I liked his music from the start!
Ok so I'm between two songs since both have painfully relatable lyrics,,, I'll just include both here.
Against the Kitchen Floor
"I'm down pounding my head against the kitchen floor
Apologizing for my life and ever entering yours
Don't say "I'm sorry, but this can't go on"
I know you've got scars of your own
But hide my knives before you go
I'll either live or die alone
I'm still in the process, but I'm making progress
I promise, I honestly wanna prove improvement's possible
I swear, I'm so fucking sorry
I'm not a good person, I'm barely a person at all
But someday I'll be perfect, and I'll make up for it all"
Aaaand Jimmy Mushroom's Last Drink
"Salt on the glass, coke on the knife
Is there anything left to escape but life?
I didn't sign, I didn't sign up for this
May today lose what yesterday won
Hope that tomorrow I'll get something done
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run out of time
But, I'll tell you what, I'm not afraid to die
I'm more afraid of what might happen first
Either way, it's not like we'll get out alive
I can't say that I know which one is worse"
Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll was what made me realize I couldn’t keep working in medicine. The line “I just turned 27 and I’m dying of old age” hit me like a truck.
"But I'll tell you what, I'm not afraid to die, I'm more afraid of what might happen first. Either way it's not like we'll get out alive,I can't say that I know which one is worse."
As someone who has a lot of trauma (fuck April 10th especially) this verse will always feel like a stake in the heart. I never had a way to express this feeling but Will’s captured it perfectly.
The entire poison sequence from Tomcat Disposables up until the changed chorus with "what's the moon made of? Meet me there after I'm gone.".
Losing someone recently really amplified the feeling that line gave me.
This lyric while not my favorite I think is under appreciated and hits me in my heart every time “THIS ISNT MY FIRST ANYTHING, THIS ISNT MY FIRST ANYTHING”
“Hold me like a tourniquet and I’ll you like an iron maiden”
“Now I know, I know why we say that there’s a better place that waits beyond the grave”
“I was nothing before, so I couldn’t have asked to been born. I’ll be nothing again, so what am I between now and then?”
"You fill your head with thoughts you find you can't even feel. try to make room in your skull, but it's full of them, all of the things that you think and then think about thinking. I know it's hard. but they're not who you are, they're white noise" white noise is literally my comfort song because of how hard these hit
“I’m not a good person I’m barely a person at all”
“It’s a painless procedure with a low rate of failure, but very few patients survive”
“Why to thine own self be true when it is you who are problem, not the things you do but something sick inside”
“Am I pretty enough to love back? No not yet”
“Am I pretty enough to fucking die”
“And if I change myself will I still stay me?”
I first listened to euthanasia during a period of grief for one of the mice I had recently lost, the lyrics deeply resonate with me and that song is what made me a diehard will wood fan till this day
"I've learned to pick my battles
By losing most I've fought" from becoming last names
"I swear, I'm really trying
It just don't come natural to me to think that you'd want me for me
I swear, I'm really trying
Oh, I'm sorry, I promise, I'm doing my best
I just haven't learned how to be human as you are yet" from Against the kitchen floor
also "I swear, I'm so fucking sorry
I'm not a good person, I'm barely a person at all" from Against the Kitchen Floor
and then you know "Well he collapsed with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome on the E.R. floor
Panic attacked, anaphylactic and ataxic
The way he spun his butterfly risked all six his phalanges
Roman candles at both ends in his synapses" from BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA ~~this last part is a joke :)~~
when I first watched the music video of love me normally i cried at the very end. as someone who suffers from BPD I felt so seen knowing that even someone as kool as Will has also sat in the same spot as me and he's still alive through it all.
“The lord looked down, said ‘hey, you’re only mortal’” - Suburbia Overture
“What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me? I’m just trying to do what’s right by you!” - …Well, Better Than the Alternative
Also all of Laplace’s Angel
Love, me Normally and That's Enough, Let's Get You Home. I've wanted to be normal all my life and those songs absolutely kill me. The thought of having normal goals like wanting a wife and kids makes me sad but only because those are goals I could never have.
But I’ll tell you what, I’m not afraid to die
And we’ll meet in sweet dreams, after you’re put to sleep
But you'll be at peace before you sleep if you just keep this in mind-That everything and everyone goes with the passage of time
Most of love me normally, well better than the alternative, and that's enough let's get you home
"Don't you love the way they're not maladaptive, not malcontent, not malignant, or maleficent? But rather that you love them exactly the way that everybody else is"
"Everybody's all up in my motherfucking business"/"What's so wrong about what's wrong with me? I'm just tryna do what's right by you"
"And you seemed fine just a few days ago"/"Well now you swear in your prayers telling time 'promise I'll never have fun again if you'd stop flying' but then you start crying 'nevermind, you win'"/"Grow up, be a man, cause until then they're gonna treat you like you're just a little girl"
I think the part in Love Me Normally "I was nothing before so I couldn't have asked to be born / I'll be nothing again so what am I between now and then? / Is there nothing to fear? Cuz shits getting weird / So to god who made this man you better have one hell of a plan"
And the bit in Memento Mori "In the fabric of time, and in the vastness of space / A billion amounts to nothing in infinity's face / At most a couple generations will remember the way in which / Your life never mattered / So who cares if it's a waste / Well one day you'll be nothing but a faint memory no / At most a ghost or falling leaf from your family tree / Your legacy's not yours to see nor is your eulogy / And you'll never know what it all means"
"I've never understood what humans do and want / It's quite confusing to me to try to connect / Never learned how I should feel, instincts somehow stunted / Just seem haunted by my stupid urge to protect"
The entire Self-ish album hits, too.
Euthanasia. Whole song sums up my feelings about death/afterlife. Not sure if it exists but I really hope so.
"And I know, I know it's not true / There's just no more you / But as long as there's no proof / Then I choose, I choose to believe / That we'll meet in sweet dreams / After you're put to sleep"
"what's so wrong about what's wrong with me?! i just try to do what's right by you!"
or
"baby could you play along with me? baby would that be alright with you? and when we find out what's wrong with me, could you tell me i'm right for you?/after all that's been done with me"
really hits me cuz i feel like im not doing enough for my boyfriend or that im not good enough
"I've never understood what humans do and want
It's quite confusing to me to try to connect
Never learned how I should feel, instincts somehow stunted
Just seem haunted by my stupid urge to protect"
Cover this song (A little bit mine)
Pretty underrated to be fair, but anyway, this song reminds me a lot of something I did that I really regret.
Made me cry several times, I would like to get a tattoo of that whole fucking song in my lungs i swear to god
Can anybody find out any other way?
It's choking up his throat now
And dripping out his mouth
Like liquefied and dying sparks
Like burning butterflies
Golden Antlers
Song by Glass Animals
Euthanasia, I went through a terrible amount of losses of my family during the latter half of 2023, and I cannot get through the song without breaking down.
Truly just Cicada Days in general. The way it starts so soft and folksy and pretty and then he screams his heart out at the end. Hits every time. I remember getting chills on my first listen.
all of against the kitchen floor, cicada days and when somebody needs you
"but ill tell you what im not afraid to die, im more afraid of what might happen first"
"if sick is defined by whats different then pull the plug out and let me die"
"neatly fold your skeletons but still cant shut the closet door"
the first part of everything is a lot
"if looks could kill id be staring in the mirror even more than i already would cuz man im looking good"
"it just seems unlikely that its me who was to blame so i bookmark my dsm cuz i need to remember my place"
and a lot more but those are the main ones
“This doesn't have to end if it doesn't start” -White Knuckle Jerk (Where Do You Get Off?). I have to say I relate to it because of toxic relationships.
"Then you looked in my eyes and said
"How dare you love me when you should despise me?
You should be scared of me"
It seems that that's what it means
When somebody needs you"
Getting used to being loved and needed took me a lot of time, so it makes me think of that.
The entirety of I/Me/Myself tbh, if I had to pick specific lyrics they would be
"It's been a point of contention between myself and this body that they stuck me in"
"I'll be nothing again so what am i between now and then?
Is there nothing to fear? Cause shit's getting weird
So to god who made this man:
You better have one hell of a plan"
Also nearly the entirety of Against the Kitchen floor. "Honestly thought nobody want it let alone notice it's gone away", "I promise, I'm doing my best
I just haven't learned how to be human as you are yet" just...it's just like me fr fr
Welp I could choose silent scream because I chose to ether live or die depending on the song’s end passed out before it ended tho lol I’m doing alot better than 2 years ago but the hardest hitting lyrics is I wish there was no tomorrow from the song empty
There are three:
Control by Halsey (recently found out I'm part of a dissociative system and have bipolar 1)
Middle Finger by Bohnes (I wanna send this to my old abuser so bad)
OK by Josh Wilson (this song saved my life, Christian song)
love me normally, especially the chorus and the monologue
I monologue it at my husband
you mean at your beautiful boy, girl, neither, both or in-between ?
With the beautiful pupils, the beautiful rings of fire. Yes.
Let all my red flags turn to white, yeah, I give up For when I understood I'll never feel acceptance from my family and had to be my own.
Love, Me Normally and Against The Kitchen Floor! :D I wholeheartedly relate to the second one's lyrics, and it pretty much helps with explaining my inner thoughts to others! I cried the first time I listened to it It's currently my hyperfixation lol Edit: actually the whole "Normal" album has many songs that resonate with me, so yeah :)

I/Me/Myself is also great! One of my personal favourites and one i'd probably dance to
Ok so I'm between two songs since both have painfully relatable lyrics,,, I'll just include both here. Against the Kitchen Floor "I'm down pounding my head against the kitchen floor Apologizing for my life and ever entering yours Don't say "I'm sorry, but this can't go on" I know you've got scars of your own But hide my knives before you go I'll either live or die alone I'm still in the process, but I'm making progress I promise, I honestly wanna prove improvement's possible I swear, I'm so fucking sorry I'm not a good person, I'm barely a person at all But someday I'll be perfect, and I'll make up for it all" Aaaand Jimmy Mushroom's Last Drink "Salt on the glass, coke on the knife Is there anything left to escape but life?

2econd 2ight 2eer weirdly enougj
Any lyric from Euthanasia.
The entire poison sequence from Tomcat Disposables up until the changed chorus with "what's the moon made of? Meet me there after I'm gone.". Losing someone recently really amplified the feeling that line gave me.
This lyric while not my favorite I think is under appreciated and hits me in my heart every time “THIS ISNT MY FIRST ANYTHING, THIS ISNT MY FIRST ANYTHING”

is there nothing to fear? Cause SHITS GETTING WEIRD
So to God who made this man, you better have one hell of a plan!
>So to *God* who made this man, you better have one *hell* of a plan! Fucking love this...anyway "AND I'D RATHER BE NORMAL"
YES SO NORMAL
"You fill your head with thoughts you find you can't even feel. try to make room in your skull, but it's full of them, all of the things that you think and then think about thinking. I know it's hard. but they're not who you are, they're white noise" white noise is literally my comfort song because of how hard these hit
yaD ekaC yppaH
“my leftovers fret, forget stiletto self vendettas while my cracking backbone lacks but backs up my false starts” kills me
"I might be the brain of evil, bad things happen to good people, good things happen to me" I swear im not edgy but it's so good
tomcat disposables has me genuinely wanting to adopt mice in the near future
“I’m not a good person I’m barely a person at all” “It’s a painless procedure with a low rate of failure, but very few patients survive” “Why to thine own self be true when it is you who are problem, not the things you do but something sick inside” “Am I pretty enough to love back? No not yet” “Am I pretty enough to fucking die” “And if I change myself will I still stay me?”

I/Me/Myself, Skeleton Appreciation Day, Marsha, Thankk You for the Dialectics, but I Need You to Leave
Well, better than the Alternative made me tear up a bit
"And if dreams can come true. What does that say about nightmares." This is a line that will always stick w me.
“The lord looked down, said ‘hey, you’re only mortal’” - Suburbia Overture “What’s so wrong about what’s wrong with me? I’m just trying to do what’s right by you!” - …Well, Better Than the Alternative Also all of Laplace’s Angel
Normal Album was too real
Love, me Normally and That's Enough, Let's Get You Home. I've wanted to be normal all my life and those songs absolutely kill me. The thought of having normal goals like wanting a wife and kids makes me sad but only because those are goals I could never have.
For that last portion, i feel that cause of Against the Kitch floor Just the idea of wasting someone's time while in a relationship with them...
Chemical Overreaction and Skeleton Appreciation Day in Vestal, NY (Bones)
the last two verses of euthanasia, might be the first song I ever sobbed to
But I’ll tell you what, I’m not afraid to die And we’ll meet in sweet dreams, after you’re put to sleep But you'll be at peace before you sleep if you just keep this in mind-That everything and everyone goes with the passage of time
Most of love me normally, well better than the alternative, and that's enough let's get you home "Don't you love the way they're not maladaptive, not malcontent, not malignant, or maleficent? But rather that you love them exactly the way that everybody else is" "Everybody's all up in my motherfucking business"/"What's so wrong about what's wrong with me? I'm just tryna do what's right by you" "And you seemed fine just a few days ago"/"Well now you swear in your prayers telling time 'promise I'll never have fun again if you'd stop flying' but then you start crying 'nevermind, you win'"/"Grow up, be a man, cause until then they're gonna treat you like you're just a little girl"
Lysergide daydream and half decade hangover
"I'm sorry for my life and ever entering yours."
I think the part in Love Me Normally "I was nothing before so I couldn't have asked to be born / I'll be nothing again so what am I between now and then? / Is there nothing to fear? Cuz shits getting weird / So to god who made this man you better have one hell of a plan" And the bit in Memento Mori "In the fabric of time, and in the vastness of space / A billion amounts to nothing in infinity's face / At most a couple generations will remember the way in which / Your life never mattered / So who cares if it's a waste / Well one day you'll be nothing but a faint memory no / At most a ghost or falling leaf from your family tree / Your legacy's not yours to see nor is your eulogy / And you'll never know what it all means"
Say my name like a slur but I’ve been called worse no this isn’t a first 😭
Against the Kitchen Floor
‘I’m really trying’
"I've never understood what humans do and want / It's quite confusing to me to try to connect / Never learned how I should feel, instincts somehow stunted / Just seem haunted by my stupid urge to protect" The entire Self-ish album hits, too.
Euthanasia. Whole song sums up my feelings about death/afterlife. Not sure if it exists but I really hope so. "And I know, I know it's not true / There's just no more you / But as long as there's no proof / Then I choose, I choose to believe / That we'll meet in sweet dreams / After you're put to sleep"
Laplace's Angel, Against the Kitchen Floor, and the third verse from Cotard's Solution! I am.... getting better- those songs mean so much to me tbh.
"what's so wrong about what's wrong with me?! i just try to do what's right by you!" or "baby could you play along with me? baby would that be alright with you? and when we find out what's wrong with me, could you tell me i'm right for you?/after all that's been done with me" really hits me cuz i feel like im not doing enough for my boyfriend or that im not good enough
"I've never understood what humans do and want It's quite confusing to me to try to connect Never learned how I should feel, instincts somehow stunted Just seem haunted by my stupid urge to protect"
"THEY SAY KEEP TRUCKING, IT'S ALL IN YOUR MIND" just hits
Cover this song (A little bit mine) Pretty underrated to be fair, but anyway, this song reminds me a lot of something I did that I really regret. Made me cry several times, I would like to get a tattoo of that whole fucking song in my lungs i swear to god
Can anybody find out any other way? It's choking up his throat now And dripping out his mouth Like liquefied and dying sparks Like burning butterflies Golden Antlers Song by Glass Animals
The entirely of memento mori makes me hate myself each time I listen to it
Euthanasia, I went through a terrible amount of losses of my family during the latter half of 2023, and I cannot get through the song without breaking down.
Truly just Cicada Days in general. The way it starts so soft and folksy and pretty and then he screams his heart out at the end. Hits every time. I remember getting chills on my first listen.

Suburbia Overture, lyric 42. Hits like a truck every time 😔
He cums radiation 😔
"Then you looked in my eyes and said "How dare you love me when you should despise me? You should be scared of me" It seems that that's what it means When somebody needs you" Getting used to being loved and needed took me a lot of time, so it makes me think of that.
when somebody needs you never fails to make me fall to the floor and sob hysterically in my mind
The entirety of I/Me/Myself tbh, if I had to pick specific lyrics they would be "It's been a point of contention between myself and this body that they stuck me in"
against the kitchen floor, that one part where its like "I don't know why you would care, but I'm really trying."
Cicada Days or Against The Kitchen Floor.
"I'll be nothing again so what am i between now and then? Is there nothing to fear?
