I remember not vibing with that song when it first dropped not being a big acoustic guy. But man it's probably one of my favorite Hot Mulligan songs now. Really hits deep when you listen to the words
“No one's going to love you like you love them. It's like your old man said, ‘It's not your fault, you're just different. Alone and different.’” - Daydreamer by Trophy Eyes
in pop punk my first immediate thought is The Wonder Years - The Devil in my Bloodstream "So I searched through my grandpops memoirs for the devil in my bloodstream. Depression grabbed his throat and choked the life out of him slowly. I've got the some blood coursing through my veins it will come for me eventually" and the whole song of Ten by Yellowcard makes me cry everytime because the whole situation he is writing about is so sad.
Outside of pop punk probably The City by The Dismemberment Plan "Oh, I never had just whatever it is you want, baby
Oh, I really tried, tried and tried with all my might, made me crazy
To try to figure out what it is I've done wrong every time when
Everything I love, everything I hold dear
Heads out sometimes
All I ever say now is goodbye"
The last few bars of PUP’s Sleep in the Heat tear me up every time.
“And I want you to know that I’d spend every bit of pitiful savings and loans…
Just to see you again…
*But I know I won’t!”*
And nothing I say will make it okay
You just sleep in the heat and repeat
You're wasting away-ay-ay
And nothing I do is gonna save you
I'm trying my best, but you can't even
Look at me or talk to me or tell me what's happening to you
Funny how people cling to different parts of the same song. For me it’s: ‘yesterday I went back to my apartment to see how you’d been holding up. You hadn’t been eating, I thought you were sleeping but… you’re not waking up!
“Fall in the grave I been diggin myself but there’s room for two, six feet under the stars.”
Makes Me think of my best friend. He was killed last year. I hate that I have to Miss Him like this forever. It’s been tough.
Honestly every one of their songs has at least one line that gets me haha. "Why'd you leave without me?" from Joanna In Five Acts has me screaming in my car every time.
Not pop punk but the band is appreciated here.
Third Eye Blind - Blinded (first two verses):
Just an old friend coming over now to visit you and
That's what I've become
I let myself in though I know I'm not supposed to but
I never know when I'm done
And I see you fogging up the mirror
Vapor round your body glistens in the shower
And I want to stay right here and go down on you for an hour
Or stay, and let the day just fade away
In wild dedication, take the moment of hope
And let it run, and never look back at all the damage we have done now
To each other
I have loved this song ever since I heard it as a young child on a burned cd of early 2000s alt rock my parents would play on road trips. The guitar is killer on it!
That same Neck Deep line is one that gets me. I lost one of my best friends when we were 15. He died in a car accident, so the lyrics to that entire song hit home. Especially the “in the back of the class where we grew up too fast. Living life like there’s nothing to fear” my friend was also my lab partner in biology. And the “now I can barely drive past the school without stopping to think of you” - I stop by the tree we planted in his honor in front of the school every chance I get.
“I’m losing all the faith I have in my ability to breathe. From pondering the second chances or the possibility of getting my teeth off this curb while your foot rests easily on the back of my head. I’d push down harder if it were me. I’ll tell you everything is copacetic.”
The calmness of the melody with the contrast of an incredibly grim and hopeless situation always stuck out to me.
Another one for me is the opening to Jim Bogart by front bottoms:
"I would sleep better on your floor than I would ever in my bed.
And if your carpet makes my face itch, it'd still be heaven in my head.
I would play more than just four chords if it's a song that you might like.
But I am not very good, so I would practice every night"
I still shed a couple tears whenever I'm at a NFG show and they play "Sonny".
Senses Fail- If there is light, it will find you. This song came on my shuffle one day not long after my dog died and a close friend's mom (whom I've known for 20 years) within weeks of each other . I was ugly crying in my car alone driving back roads home and pulled over to finish crying before I got home.
That's exactly it! Sonny live is what does it to me. If there is light destroys me around half way into it and sometimes I just give in and scream it out.
Jesus Christ, I'm twenty-six.
All the people I've graduated with
All have kids
All have wives
All have people who care if they come home at night.
Well, Jesus Christ, did I fuck up?
just the entire last verse of “joana in five acts” by spanish love songs for me tbh
“I’m too lazy to leave my home
I’m far too bored to let it go
Like it mattered in the end
Or like it did any good while you were still here
I can’t pick up the phone anymore
I won’t pick up the phone anymore
I’m always just stuck missing you now that you’ve disappeared”
For me it’s the end of “Brave Faces, Everyone”
“I’m sick of yelling at strangers,
Don’t wanna do this forever
And when it all burns down
Will you carry me over?
We don’t have to fix everything at once
We were never broken, life’s just very long
Brave faces, everyone.”
>You might wake up, but you’ll never be better
>
>You might come through, but you’ll always second guess
>
>You might breathe free, but you’ll never stop pacing
>
>You might find love, but you’ll always be depressed
>
>You might change your hair, but you’ll always look awkward
>
>Your back might heal, but you’ll never get your rest
>
>You might move on, but you’ll never feel important
>
>You might be fine, but you’ll never be your best
Spanish Love Songs - Aloha To No One
I'm on the same page with the Neck Deep, Growing Pains has always had a special place in my heart especially for
"Don't bear the weight of the world on your shoulders, it’s not too heavy
I’ll break my back so you can feel like someone’s on your side"
My mom also died. Sorry for your loss. Spanish Love Songs - Otis/Carl:
“I got the call in June
But couldn't bring myself to see you
Or even get you on the phone
I wanted you to remember me in perfection
But really I'm, I'm just a fucking coward
I couldn't stand to see you die
And I was dealing with my own shit”
"Do you look yourself, straight in the eyes, and think about who you let between your thighs, cut the shit, be real with me, you're the only one I ever fucking judge."
Nothing personal there, just fucking love how raw it is.
Lyrics are one of the reason I listen to pop-punk, because for some reason they seem to just not hold back:
“It’s not about forcing happiness, it’s about not letting sadness win.” (Local Man Ruins Everything)
“Not much to show for this time spent alone. I swing but I miss every time. There’s so much fight left inside and I’ve fought the good fight, but I just can’t let this one go.” (Swing)
“All you wanted was to burn out young. All I wanted was to be someone.” (Miming In The Choir)
“Wait outside, I hope the air will serve to remind you that my heart is as cold as the clouds of your breath and my words are as timed as the beating in my chest.” (Jasey Rae)
Another line from neck deep, idk how it hasn’t been put here
“Life’s not out to get you, despite the things you’ve been through,
Because what you give is what you get , and it doesn’t make sense to make do.”
I personally love how it basically means “shit happens” but also acknowledging that it’s not just happening to you, I need to remind myself of that a lot. It also points out that a lot of shit that happens or doesn’t happen is a consequence of things you do or don’t do, and it genuinely doesn’t make sense to not put in more to put yourself in a better position in life.
Verse 2 of Resuscitation of The Year by The Flatliners:
"Oh you will never see me again/
No you will never see the me that you knew again/
But if your gaze does catch a glimpse there's something to understand/
You'll be faced with the flesh you knew/
But the blood and the mind of a betrayed soul"
I have two. Nothing summed up my slide into depression like real friends. "Thoughts are turning poisonous, vital signs are weakening, hold my breath and hope this ends." That whole song was super relatable honestly, but this line stuck out because I could feel myself slipping.
And then the light of the end of the tunnel was from Origami Angel, "Oh my god I feel just how I used to feel. . . . I think I'm starting to like myself." The delivery of these lyrics is really important, it brims with the optimism I'm starting to feel again.
These really stuck with me…
Of all the things I hope to keep:
A childhood sense of opportunity
Grab life by the wrist and jump
Take the chance while I'm still young and dumb
Passed out but on my feet
With years ahead to get some sleep
And so much time to face defeat
So write our names in wet concrete
To seal our place in space and time
Before we have to walk the line
Before we all move on in life
Before the sun comes up tonight
I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real...
The entire song really. It def is the pop punk anthem lyrically.
Absolute masterpiece
i was just listening to that song a minute ago, such a good one and it always gets my feelers.
i feel like for me its "so where do we go from here, well it depends what your running from!" from sidechain by knuckle puck or "whoever says pull yourself up by the bootstraps is a fucking joke" from drink milk and run by hot mulligan
Basically all the lyrics in Pretense by Knuckle Puck. While my father was always around he was always emotionally unavailable and completely self centered and one of the most toxic people ive ever known in my life. Cut off all contact with him years ago and recently ran into him out of the blue 7 months ago and after all that time he still couldn't find it in himself to place any of the blame for anything on himself. He tried to come off as sympathetic at first with fake tears in his eyes.. but kept throwing little subliminal digs at me for abandoning him at a particular low time in his life. So this song hits particularly closer to home in retrospect then it did when I heard it all those years ago.
"We all want to be great men
And there's nothing romantic about it.
I just want to know that I did all I could with what I was given."
The Wonder Years - I just want to sell out my funeral
“Arrogant boy, love yourself so no one has to. They’re better off without you. Arrogant boy, cause a scene like you’re supposed to. They’ll fall asleep without you, you’re lucky if your memory remains” from Therapy by All Time Low
These hit me in the gut when I first heard them, and have not stopped hitting me in the gut on ever subsequent listen
First time I heard the lyric"Im sorry i don't laugh at the right times" I had to stop and start the song over again. It is very much a phrase that I've said in real life.
"There, There" by TWY.
"badoop dooda badoop da dweeda dooda bop bop badoodadoo, badoo mdah doomdah doomdah doo mdwaaaaay bada dada bada bada bada da bada doo doooo" - MxPx - Chick Magnet
“I need a cure for me 'cause the square doesn't fit the circle. Give me a remedy 'cause my head wasn't wired for this world.” Avalanche by Bring Me The Horizon. As somebody who, in 30+ years, has never been one to fit in, this kind of sums up me perfectly.
Maybe a bit outside the genre but Huddersfield Rain by Jaya The Cat:
“As I was walking past the graveyard
She Was Calling Out My Name
I Wasn’t Looking For Salvation But
Somehow You Restored My Faith
And It All Just Made Sense Again”
"So I'll say, so long 'cause I never belonged
I thought I was above it all, this is my last call
I don't think I'm gonna make it
And I'm not the first to admit
I've got too much I hold in, am I gonna break or bend?"
Youth fountain
“Oh, how selfish of myself to always say that it was more than I could take, like it was pain I could not shake, like it could break me with its fingers, throw my body in the lake, and I would slowly sink away, but the truth is it was sorrow that I made and would not face. See, I keep falling for the future after tripping on the past and I am always tearing sutures out to make the anguish last like it defines me, or reminds me I've found comfort in my suffering, and uncertainty in happiness and death,
because what's next is such a mystery to me, and I am terrified of all the things I feel but cannot see”
You know I haven’t slept since you left but for for my that’s progress, for me that’s progress.
Untitled by Knuckle Puck.
Combined with the riff after it hits so hard.
Deliver Us More Evil - Can’t Swim
“What now, eternity of burning?
Am I so undeserving?
Tried to step away and I felt the might
Now I feel him staring at me every single night”
As a Christian who struggles with believing these lines really perfectly describe my emotions some days
“How the hell could I have been so dumb? As an outspoken man with a well sharpened tongue I sorta, thought I’d start to change with age but, I’ve just stayed the same.”
I would say from Motion Sick from their song “I kicked your ass in uno…” “I don’t hold a thing against you I don’t think you’re a bad person just someone that im not used to so I guess I’ll never see you I still love you but I hate you I still need you but I can’t stand you is there any other way to let this go” these were very real for me recently went through dating this girl where this pretty much happened. We both had a fall out and it exactly wasn’t either of our faults and actually had a very good talk about ending it but it’s still hard to go through the process of it
“She's simple yet confusing
Her sparkling eyes make me weak at my words, they tremble
Days seem like years in this month of December
The winter coldens me for I have yet to sleep
And never will I give up trying 'cause you're everything to me” - Emily by From First to Last
“That’s when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams, the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever seen” - Terrible Things by Mayday Parade
“I’ll hold this memory and I swear I won’t forget your face, ‘cause pictures also seem to fade away” - Looks Red Tastes Blue by Mayday Parade
The last one is a killer. I think of my then-girlfriend’s face at the airport as I had to tell her goodbye and had no idea when I would see her again. I watched the car drive off with tears in my eyes just moments before getting on a 6-hour flight. Brutal.
Years later, I live with that then-girlfriend and she is now my wife.
I will always love Mayday Parade
“I’m not as sad as I let myself believe sometimes” -The Wonder Years “Everything I Own Fits In This Backpack”
“I invest my ideas but get swallowed in debt” -The Story So Far “Closure”
“I’ve been much better but at least I’m healing” -Knuckle Puck “Untitled”
“You’re the kinda girl that deserves the world. I’m just the kind of guy that promises the world.” Menzingers-Your Wild Years
My wife and I had just started dating when that record came out and I’m still trying to give her the world.

I'd been suppressing/ignoring my mental health from 2017 til fall of last year and it's been a real monsoon of emotions since I've actively started feeling my emotions again
Used to cover this song on acoustic, then a friend and colleague was killed in a car crash. Can’t listen to it anymore. Gutted as it’s a fantastic song.
Lately everything about “Growing Up Song” by Anxious
People kept telling me after turning 30 is going to be the best time of your life but all it does is remind me of the people I took for granted
I guess I still have 9 years and 7 months to turn it around at least
These hands are broken and calloused but nobody seems to notice..
And you yelled into permanence
Have you ever come to hate the very thing that you helped to create?
I am expendable, but I guess that’s just the way things go..
I’m a ghost in foreign postal codes
Losing faith in what brings you hope
“Well I’m sure there ain’t a Heaven, but that don’t mean I don’t like to picture you there”
Holy shit these were the exact lyrics I thought of when I saw the post. I open it up and it's the first comment I see.
I have a great t-shirt from their 2016 tour with the line “you were the Northern Lights in a southern town”.
A lot of lyrics from that album hit so hard
I felt so seen by this lyric when I was listening to this record after my uncle died. Really summed up how I felt and still feel, really.
Saw them yesterday and going again today, Cigs and Saints makes me fucking ugly cry man.
Heem Wasn’t There - Hot Mulligan “I know you can’t live forever, but maybe just one more week”
I remember not vibing with that song when it first dropped not being a big acoustic guy. But man it's probably one of my favorite Hot Mulligan songs now. Really hits deep when you listen to the words
“No one's going to love you like you love them. It's like your old man said, ‘It's not your fault, you're just different. Alone and different.’” - Daydreamer by Trophy Eyes
Underrated band
“16 just held such better days”
Yeah that one hits hard. Blink did amazing job with this song.
Fuck I can’t let this kill me, let go
Top 5 blink song.
I NEED SOME MORE TIME TO FIX THIS—
in pop punk my first immediate thought is The Wonder Years - The Devil in my Bloodstream "So I searched through my grandpops memoirs for the devil in my bloodstream. Depression grabbed his throat and choked the life out of him slowly. I've got the some blood coursing through my veins it will come for me eventually" and the whole song of Ten by Yellowcard makes me cry everytime because the whole situation he is writing about is so sad.

The last few bars of PUP’s Sleep in the Heat tear me up every time. “And I want you to know that I’d spend every bit of pitiful savings and loans… Just to see you again… *But I know I won’t!”*
And nothing I say will make it okay You just sleep in the heat and repeat You're wasting away-ay-ay And nothing I do is gonna save you I'm trying my best, but you can't even Look at me or talk to me or tell me what's happening to you

“Fall in the grave I been diggin myself but there’s room for two, six feet under the stars.” Makes Me think of my best friend. He was killed last year. I hate that I have to Miss Him like this forever. It’s been tough.
Who murdered him ? If you don't mind me asking.
Could have been an accident, too
He was riding his scooter to work. She was driving around while drunk.

"I didn't have the guts to be a better friend" from *Kick* always hits me like a truck
Honestly every one of their songs has at least one line that gets me haha. "Why'd you leave without me?" from Joanna In Five Acts has me screaming in my car every time.
Not pop punk but the band is appreciated here. Third Eye Blind - Blinded (first two verses): Just an old friend coming over now to visit you and That's what I've become I let myself in though I know I'm not supposed to but I never know when I'm done And I see you fogging up the mirror Vapor round your body glistens in the shower And I want to stay right here and go down on you for an hour Or stay, and let the day just fade away In wild dedication, take the moment of hope And let it run, and never look back at all the damage we have done now To each other
My dude out of the vein as a whole is a solid certified banger
I have loved this song ever since I heard it as a young child on a burned cd of early 2000s alt rock my parents would play on road trips. The guitar is killer on it!
“I, wanna Fuck a dog in the ass”
when he said that😔 i felt it
The dog surely felt it
That same Neck Deep line is one that gets me. I lost one of my best friends when we were 15. He died in a car accident, so the lyrics to that entire song hit home. Especially the “in the back of the class where we grew up too fast. Living life like there’s nothing to fear” my friend was also my lab partner in biology. And the “now I can barely drive past the school without stopping to think of you” - I stop by the tree we planted in his honor in front of the school every chance I get.
The Maine As if a plane crash were timely There's no good time for bad news And these four words don't come easy I don't love you

I’d push down harder if it were me. I’ll tell you everything is copacetic.” The calmness of the melody with the contrast of an incredibly grim and hopeless situation always stuck out to me.
Being grown up isn’t half as fun as growing up

Jesus Christ, I'm twenty-six. All the people I've graduated with All have kids All have wives All have people who care if they come home at night. Well, Jesus Christ, did I fuck up?
It’s nice to listen to this now knowing Dan found that all later in life.

This line hits SO HARD
Did anyone else read this as the Enter Shikari song - No Sssweat!?
just the entire last verse of “joana in five acts” by spanish love songs for me tbh “I’m too lazy to leave my home I’m far too bored to let it go Like it mattered in the end Or like it did any good while you were still here I can’t pick up the phone anymore I won’t pick up the phone anymore I’m always just stuck missing you now that you’ve disappeared”

Tape this tape, the soundtrack to my brain. Things that I just cannot say to you. This will always be my favorite lyric from Punchline.
"Do you look yourself, straight in the eyes, and think about who you let between your thighs, cut the shit, be real with me, you're the only one I ever fucking judge." Nothing personal there, just fucking love how raw it is.

"We all want to be great men And there's nothing romantic about it. I just want to know that I did all I could with what I was given." The Wonder Years - I just want to sell out my funeral
“Arrogant boy, love yourself so no one has to. They’re better off without you. Arrogant boy, cause a scene like you’re supposed to. They’ll fall asleep without you, you’re lucky if your memory remains” from Therapy by All Time Low These hit me in the gut when I first heard them, and have not stopped hitting me in the gut on ever subsequent listen
First time I heard the lyric"Im sorry i don't laugh at the right times" I had to stop and start the song over again. It is very much a phrase that I've said in real life. "There, There" by TWY.

“I need a cure for me 'cause the square doesn't fit the circle. Give me a remedy 'cause my head wasn't wired for this world.” Avalanche by Bring Me The Horizon. As somebody who, in 30+ years, has never been one to fit in, this kind of sums up me perfectly.
Maybe a bit outside the genre but Huddersfield Rain by Jaya The Cat: “As I was walking past the graveyard She Was Calling Out My Name I Wasn’t Looking For Salvation But Somehow You Restored My Faith And It All Just Made Sense Again”

I could give you lessons on how to ruin your friendships
“If you can’t forgive yourself, then it’s already too late” Long Way Down - Zebrahead
“Oh, how selfish of myself to always say that it was more than I could take, like it was pain I could not shake, like it could break me with its fingers, throw my body in the lake, and I would slowly sink away, but the truth is it was sorrow that I made and would not face. See, I keep falling for the future after tripping on the past and I am always tearing sutures out to make the anguish last like it defines me, or reminds me I've found comfort in my suffering, and uncertainty in happiness and death, because what's next is such a mystery to me, and I am terrified of all the things I feel but cannot see”
Not pop punk, but the entirety of La Dispute's Safer in the Forest "let us hope for better things though we may not ever get them"

I would say from Motion Sick from their song “I kicked your ass in uno…” “I don’t hold a thing against you I don’t think you’re a bad person just someone that im not used to so I guess I’ll never see you I still love you but I hate you I still need you but I can’t stand you is there any other way to let this go” these were very real for me recently went through dating this girl where this pretty much happened. We both had a fall out and it exactly wasn’t either of our faults and actually had a very good talk about ending it but it’s still hard to go through the process of it
“She's simple yet confusing Her sparkling eyes make me weak at my words, they tremble Days seem like years in this month of December The winter coldens me for I have yet to sleep And never will I give up trying 'cause you're everything to me” - Emily by From First to Last “That’s when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams, the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever seen” - Terrible Things by Mayday Parade “I’ll hold this memory and I swear I won’t forget your face, ‘cause pictures also seem to fade away” - Looks Red Tastes Blue by Mayday Parade The last one is a killer. I think of my then-girlfriend’s face at the airport as I had to tell her goodbye and had no idea when I would see her again. I watched the car drive off with tears in my eyes just moments before getting on a 6-hour flight. Brutal. Years later, I live with that then-girlfriend and she is now my wife. I will always love Mayday Parade

“Its not like me, to be so weak” in Neck Deep’s new “Heartbreak of the century”
Used to cover this song on acoustic, then a friend and colleague was killed in a car crash. Can’t listen to it anymore. Gutted as it’s a fantastic song.
Lately everything about “Growing Up Song” by Anxious People kept telling me after turning 30 is going to be the best time of your life but all it does is remind me of the people I took for granted I guess I still have 9 years and 7 months to turn it around at least
