Capsov Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 The opening lyrics for both verses can fuck right off, but I like the song besides that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic vinegar Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 This is the only song I like. I think. I still don't love it. But...a win is a win, even an ugly one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ182 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 For me this one is kinda just a couple different mediocre song ideas shoved together. "Dearest Mom/Dear Old Dad" kinda make me laugh and throw off the verses' dark vibe, and the chorus seems to have no relation to the verses and is very sugary sweet But like I said I actually do like the "long way back to the middle of the road" part haha and the bridge is pretty cool. Other than the verses this one kinda reminds me of something that would be on the All American Rejects first album or something (which I like but was always very clearly on a lower tier and a whole different "thing" than Blink was) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt has the best verse of the whole song, although the "dear old dad" was just laughable. "The one and only son you'll never have" was my favorite line out of the song.

decisions Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Wow this one is bad. Didn't hear it this morning. This song is nothing but a bunch of overused pop-punk ideas meshed together for seemingly no reason whatsoever. It's as if they pulled pop-punk cliches out of a hat. The hell happened to this band... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyFriendLuke182 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 sorry I'm not a native english speaker but is the line "it don't mean anything" gramatically correct? Shouldn't it be "doesn't"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't it be "doesn't"? Yes that's right. I've heard don't be used in place of doesn't to get the right amount of syllables for a rhythm in a song, but sometimes it is used otherwise to sound "reckless" or "cool" or something. I dunno. Annoys me too! Haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ182 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Haha yeah technically it should be "doesn't" but it's pretty common to switch "don't" in there in lyrics or if you have a certain cultural or geographical dialect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fran.182 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 This one is easily the best pop punk song on the deluxe, but then again the other two were the worst proper tracks of this whole era and among the worst blink songs ever ("Parking Lot" and "Wildfire"). They basically encapsulated the worst aspects of California... Here, the somber melody suits them better, and while the lyrics are still weak, at least they are a bit more specific and don't feel so formulaic. We even get a great moment such as the "it's a long way back to the middle of the road" line, the way Mark enunciates it. Bridge is awesome, I always think Third Eye Blind is on and it's Stephan Jenkins who's singing "When we all fall to the surface sometimes / And we all fall back where we belong". Of course that comparison is a compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 The "dont" instead of "doesn't" has never bothered me as much as say Tom in BCR singing "I'm sorry, please forgive me, believe me if you could/would" because to me that makes no sense. surely it's believe me if you can? or "would you believe me if you could" or something? I don't know why but that lyric has always irked me to crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
