1.
I didn't like you anyways
You always spoke so quiet
I had to ask you to repeat yourself
I'd like to explain to all of my friends
To everyone involved
How it all happened
How things fell apart
La la la la la la la oh
La la la la la la la oh
La la la la la la la oh
La la la la la la la oh
Let's reconstruct the scene
As best we can and try to figure out
What crimes were committed
I saw you
I saw you again last night you were
Hiding in a poor man's body
But I saw your soul slip out of his fingers
La la la la la la la oh
La la la la la la la oh
La la la la la la la oh
La la la la la la la oh
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Everything you say is a bridge
Everything you do is water under it
Such a worthless waste of time to write about
Every bit of you that I don't love
Is filled up with my hate
I was a situation
That you were glad went away
Move move forward like a human being
(Sometimes you have to kill things to impress your friends)
You probably looked like an idiot in that hat
(Used to feel bad about crushing ants)
I can't go back to not understanding what you mean to me
I'm turning into the person that you were afraid I'd turn out to be
There is something in me that can only give
There is something in you that can only give out
When you hear my songs do you get that feeling
And if not, what the hell were you hearing?
I am not crazy, I am right
What do you mean? what are saying to me?
I was just another bird you touched
Whose mother won't take him back
I was searching for a soul to sell my devils to
(All I wanted was sleep and you took it away)
Did you do something wrong was there something you did that I could blame
I thought I was open I thought I was intimate and then you asked me my name
By the time they send the lifeboats
I won't want to leave the island
Calling out to distant shorelines
Calling out for different basslines
I can't go back to not understanding what you mean to me
I'm turning into the person that you were afraid that I'd turn out to be
Ooh, it was nothing special
Ooh, it was nothing sacred
Just hands held
And shoulders rubbed
And voices touched
3.
All of my friends are getting married
All of my friends are right with God
All of my friends are making money
But art gets what it wants and art gets what it deserves
I think I'm gonna build a giant hotel
Lest we be scattered, I'll stack it sky-high
It's not symbolic, it's just human nature
Under the foundations, there is a graveyard
We've all had better times to die
We've all seen better times to die
We've all had better times to die
We all had better times to die
"Get a job!"
Job lying in bed while all his friends chant
"You must've done something wrong"
But he just keeps singing this song
We've all had
Better times to di-
We've all seen better times
We've all had better times to
We've all had
We've all had
We've- better times to die
(We all had better times to die)
We've all seen better times to die
We've all had better times to
We've all seen better times to di-
We've all had better times
Got to have faith in the one above me
Got to believe that Lombardi loves me
It's a deal
I want a deal
Let's cut a covenant
And when they took him to the temple
Oh, then they fed him to the devil
And when they took him to their temple
Oh, then they fed him to their devils
And when they took him to the table
(Hey man, we listened to your demos!)
Before they fed him to their devils
And when they took him to the temple
(Hey man, we listened to your demos!)
Oh, then they listened to his demos
Most of the time I'm just getting older
But I'll get to heaven standing on your shoulders
So many people you know that could make you
They say kid you're good, but do you have what it takes to be
Invited into the divine council?
Invited into the divine council?
Invited into the divine council?

We've all had better times to die

You used to have a future, now you don't even have a past
You won't have half an answer if anyone cares to ask
You promised to speak to no one, you were lucky that I heard
Because without a witness no oath can be assured
Somewhere down the line you'll look back and
Say you did the best that you could and you'll be wrong
You're always wrong
I hope you enjoy it underneath the light
I hope you can get some sleep tonight
Because where you live the sun doesn't set
This is your bed. Hope you enjoy
You held me in the sunlight, your interlocking hands
Left a photograph on my shoulders, spots where I didn't tan
But my skin was an imperfect film and the negatives were burned
Without the evidence there was no need for you to ever return
And someone down the line will look back
And wonder what you felt for me and he'll be wrong
You're always wrong
I hope you enjoy it underneath the light
I hope you can get some sleep tonight
Because where you live the sun doesn't set
This is your bed. Hope you enjoy
I can't turn this thing off
It keeps following me
Used to be so human now it's just a machine
I can't turn this thing off
It keeps following me
When'd you say you were leaving?
When'd you really leave?
I hope you enjoy it underneath the light
I hope you can get some sleep tonight
Because where you live the sun doesn't set
If this is your bed, how do you do it?
I was within my rights, I was behind the line
You were dancing in your sleep
I promised to hide it underneath the covers
This is my bed, how do you do?
Hope I enjoy my no one
5.
Being sad's so boring
I'm taking a vacation
I'm driving down to see my old friends tonight
Let's spend the week with rosy cheeks
And crush the grapes beneath our feet
And stop burrowing through old chocolate boxes
Like a heartbroken Bacchus
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
So leave that girl behind you
Or whatever it is that's got you
We've still got time for one more drink tonight
Think what the others would say
If they saw you in the bathroom, kicking the stall door
They'd say get out of your head for a while
Jump into mine, leave it on repeat and it says
And if I'd been a parrot I'd have been a very good parrot
And if I'd be a parent I'd be my own parents
And if that's not apparent than it will be soon
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss those good old boys
They could still find joy in life to talk about
I miss you, miss you, miss you
I miss you, miss you, miss you
I miss you, miss you, miss you (I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice)
I miss you, miss you, miss you (I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice)
I miss you, miss you, miss you (I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice)
I miss you, miss you, miss you (I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice)
If you're trying to live, you have to own what you do
If you're trying to live, you have to own what you do
Oh, Jesus Christ, I
I wish I could talk like that
But such is my place in life
I
I don't have
I don't have any hope
I don't have any hope left, but the weather is nice
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
6.
That wasn't any better at all
That didn't make me feel any better at all
I thought it would, but it didn't
My consciousness is bigger
It gives me no pleasure to say
My consciousness is bigger than yours
It gives me no pleasure
And we descend the basement
Poorly done murals, the faces
If there wasn't a house, we would build one with our bodies
Hang on to my ego
Everything is coming loose tonight
I'm too nervous for boys now
I'm too nervous for girls now
Every bottle you drink must be recycled and
Every plastic cup that can't be recycled in this town
At the party kids come in and out
Talking about T.S. Eliot
It starts out fun
Because the night is young
But then the night gets old
And it just gets cold
And we go outside
And we go back inside
And we say what's the plan
And there is no plan so we go
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
I just need to wake up burst into motion
Raise my finger say aha, say moving is easy
I just need to take off, burst into motion
I just need to get up burst into motion
Raise my finger say aha, say moving is easy
I just need to get off
It wasn't fun
It wasn't educational
It lingered on
I put my fingers on you were gone
Let's get away from these despicable people
They can't keep their mouths to themselves
I know there's lots of other guys with my name here
But tell me I'm the only one that you will
Does anybody use this bathroom in the daytime?
Is this a house or the set of a film?
Let's get away from these awful people
They can't keep their minds to themselves
I refuse to let go until you're impressed
I refuse to let go until I'm depressed
I see you reaching out to t-t-t-touch
My skin shrinks, I think I'll be shocked
By that static
It's too dynamic
Because I never wanted you to change
I only wanted you to be different
Like, not so distant
Cause we are alone in our orgasms
But your flesh seems so solid
Why does it melt away
In the morning dew?
I'm sorry, I thought someone was there
Like two mirrors gazing into each other's eyes
Like two microphones kissing
But oh, that night, that music!
The longer it goes, the more important I feel
But oh, those lights, those colors!
The less I can see, the more I can feel
B----- said never to write about what's in my pockets
But that's where my hands are, and that's where they'll stay
Because you're used to a softer touch
She's just used to a gentler touch
She is used to a gentleman's touch
But hey man it's cool when you do it
We are alone in our dreams
Do we have to sleep tonight?
Murmur, murmur! Coward!
Building towards a meaning that'll never come
Leave someone beautiful
Find someone horrible
Dig me
I just want to have sex with you
I just want to fuck you
I just want to have sex with you
I just want to fuck you
When I say stop,
When I say stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
Bounce and stretch
I stretch into a smile
Not just my face, my body, my soul
Because I view life as something that I
Don't think I'll get away with
And you think that we've already gotten away
Yeah we all have dreams, I know
I should have forgotten them in the morning
(A dead dog painted on the sea)
If none of us know the words then only the melody matters
Na na na na na na na na na na na matters
I wrote this verse drunk
I thought it would solve everything
I thought it would
But it didn't
When everyone was going homewards
Did you cry because it was over?
Or did you cry because you knew it would never end?
As long as we don't go to sleep yet
I promise I can't go to sleep yet
Cause the night's not dead, no the night's not dead
I will not go alone to my single-size bed
I don't know what that means
We could go anywhere
But we will always be where we are
We could go anywhere
But we will always be where we are
I waited for you on the eastern shore
Watching people trying to act sober on the other side of the sea
Until I laughed and headed home
I learned my lesson never to roam
7.
When did our heart
Stop beating?
Used up all the heat
When did it start?
Our meeting
It's been on repeat
I know there's a full moon every night
It's just not always bright
But it's been so long since I saw the light
Maybe I haven't been looking at the sky
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Now you're gone

Sweetheart, please love me too long
My heart's too strong
Love me too long
Sweetheart, please let me hold on
To these old songs
I've loved too long
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
When I'm in bed
I'm dead
No one to check my pulse
And so instead
My head
Begs not to be so full
And when I fall
Asleep
Which part of me writes the dream
And which part falls
Asleep
Who's running the machine?
I know there's a full moon every night
When I dress black it snows white
I know there's a full moon every night
When I dress black it snows white
I know there's a moon
I know there's a-
I know there's a full moon every night
When I dress black it snows white
I know there's a full moon every night

Will anyone be surprised?
Will anyone not say they're surprised?
Where will it be?
Will I have found a home by then?
Or is it always in your hometown?
Will my hanging leave me indecent?
Will they have to cross my legs?
No more throwing the bottle cap into the trash
And throwing the bottle into the recycling
Let nature take its course
Such a drag
It's such a drag
It's such a drag
It's such a drag
How long will the casket hold?
How long will the old home hold?
How many hands will have touched me?
How many eyes shut?
Only two
Will it be like in the movies?
Will they play music I like?
Or will everyone be hovering around the iPod
Trying to put on their playlist?
It's such a drag
It's such a drag
It's such a drag
Such a drag
All that oxygen, no more
All that senseless rubbing, no more
Only gravity, gravity, gravity, gravity, gravity, gravity, gravity
And it's such a drag
It's such a drag
Such a drag
It's such a drag
And when the night comes
Who will be lying by my side?
I never liked sleeping with strangers
And when the night comes
Whose side will I be lying by?
I never liked sleeping with strangers
And when the night comes
Who will be lying by my side?
I never liked sleeping with strangers
And when the night comes
Whose side will I be lying by?
I never liked sleeping with strangers
It's such a
It's such a

You never stopped smoking, but I forgive you
My words and my heart were not enough to give you
And my words always sounded wrong, it was easy not to listen
Still it pained me to see when I left, you never noticed what was missing
After all that's unsaid and undone I know this cannot mean much
But I hope that you find someone who loves you very much
Yes, I hope that you find someone who loves you very much
No, I've never slept next to someone who wanted to sleep next to me
It was hard to debate, you couldn't wait to lose your memory
And it didn't take long, you were strong in your resolve to lose your mind
It was only a mistake that on the way you happened to lose mine
Yes, I know in your eyes we were never really lovers as such
So I hope that you find someone who loves you very much
And I hope that you find someone you can love just as much
Sometimes I wish I hadn't taken all my notes on your rolling papers
But when you burned them the scent came as such a bittersweet vapor
I watched the flames silence the words I was given in life
But if your heart was in it I was glad to be your sacrifice
And though I'll miss, or at least sometimes wish for your touch
I hope that you find someone who loves you very much
I hope that you find someone who loves you very much
Such a drag

Will absolutely locked in for the second half
i actually thought the album cover had flames for months until I realized it's someones shoulder silhouette rotated sideways. very weird
and of course its a god damn shoulder
@@blaketto and it's Cate Wurtz's shoulder, the person Twin Fantasy is about lol
I just realized
?
holy fuck
Almost every bandcamp-era album (other than 2011's TF and HTLT) is underrated but Monomania is REALLY overlooked despite how good it is.
I think Monomania is better than 2011 TF tbh
@@fredman727 I'd say it's probably better than 2018 TF, too. It's just really well structured, and despite not actually being a concept album, feels more complete.
Still, a combination album that merged the two would be awesome. Like, TF focuses on Will's mistakes in the relationship, and then Monomania has him blaming himself for his lover's mistakes, or excusing them. But I think a lot of the emotions felt during these albums would have taken place at the same time. I mean, imagine if "Overexposed" and "High To Death" were combined.
There's a few songs on Monomania that would fit right in to Twin Fantasy, and if all 19 songs were combined in a new order into a double-album sort of like Nervous Young Men, then it would be really cool.
@@wrenisprobablyb0red I haven’t overanalyzed this album, but I can’t imagine something being better than TF. I guess I’m just a sucker for meta-commentary and being called out
@@wrenisprobablyb0red I have a playlist that starts with the Beach songs from 3, then into Twin Fantasy and Monomania with The Gun Song at the end. It's a nice albeit taxing listen. You talked about Twin Fantasy and Monomania being merged as some double album and while that would be cool, I feel like it'd be hard to balance cohesively. Anchorite, Famous Prophets and Those Boys have a really awkward clash of "What song do we end on?". Unless you mean just TF being side 1 and Monomania being side 2
“You never stopped smoking”
“but i forgive you”
just cried so hard at anchorite that my eyes felt like they got pepper sprayed
Their most underrated album in my opinion. If this got a remaster it would be my favorite
Agreed 100% I really love this record and hearing Will's modern take on songs like Maud Gone and Overexposed would be so cool
Overexposed is my top csh song of all time
Def one of my favs too, I think I love all of the ones that play of the "Don't worry you and me won't be alone no more" verse from Sober to Death
Just as good as Twin Fantasy, a different kind of good tho, an angstier good
I have a love hate relationship with this album because I really like it but at the same time I am always fighting desperately to not feel identified with it, especially with the last song
anchorite feels like it was made for me every single lines feels relatable
Thats actually good you should use this album as a "never become this" standard
Sounds like this would be perfect for a remaster tbh
for sure needs the Twin Fantasy treatment, same with 3!
also thats a Ozzie quote right?
a couple of the songs got remastered which is cool
@@gafined2345 no they got completely rerecorded for tos
@@fionnsterr that's what I meant poor choice of words
times to die is one of my favorite csh songs but I've only heard the teens of style version and I can definitely say this version is better also I love how there are callbacks to older songs in overexposed
there are callbacks to older songs all over the album, like “I’m too nervous for girls now” in Souls is a callback to This is the Hard Part
@@atl5033 and the "you never stopped smoking" from Anchorite
the FtF version of high to death also makes a callback to overexposed
@@atl5033 Isn't "This Is The Hard Part" from Disjecta Membra, or am I totally insane?
@@gavinharris3060 Unpopular opinion, but Those Boys and Overexposed should have been combined in the remaster. I feel like Overexposed's chorus and callbacks would make it a really good ending, but combined with Those Boys's callbacks to Sunburned Shirts, as well as that song's buildup and outro, it would generally be an amazing closer. IDK if anyone can imagine what I'm saying though.
never found an album before that managed to feel like both a slap to the face and an understanding hug at the same time. but now i finally found it and will cry over it for the rest of my life.
The trowback to Twin Fantasy in Overexpossed really kick in since Twin Fantasy was the album i used to lisent with a guy i really used to like, now he is gone in some ways in my life and the only thing left is that little trowbacks to Twin Fantasy (mostly "My Boy") i get from this album
Alex if you end up finding this, i really used to like you man
I've definetly felt simlliar with those call back lines, I think its kind of meant to cause some feeling of longing in the listener and its really cool.
The video game-like synth during Los Borrachos at 26:05 gives me life
this album is absolutely fantastic. just got through a breakup with my bf and i still have no idea how to feel now, but this album is it
I'm sorry to hear about your breakup, but I'm glad this can help you in someway. I went through a breakup about 7 months ago now and this record really helped me too. Please take care of yourself in times like this, you're not alone.
It would be so horribly uncomfortable to have somebody write this about you.
Ive been saying this😭😭 bless you cate wurtz
Was hoping this was a full Deerhunter cover album but it's not and it came out before Deerhunter's monomania. It's good.
if i was the reason a guy wrote an album as painful as this one i'd seriously reconsider my entire life view fr
*press play on this album without jumping challenge* (i startle very easy)
even after i've stopped listening to car seat regularly, i still find myself coming back to this album. thanks for posting this
Thanks for listening, I'm the same way with this record too. It has some of my favorite tracks to revisit
woah this version of Times to Die is way better than the one ive been listening to
i've never been through a painful breakup, but weirdly, this album makes me feel like i have
Don't worry, you and me won't
this album ruined my life actually (affectionate)
Same
Real
masterpiece of lofi sadness
this fr might actually be the saddest album i’ve ever listened to
thanks star stranger
Can anyone post the timestamps for each song?
I updated the video, but I'm a few seconds off. I only uploaded this so I could add it to my favourite full album playlist, if you want the songs with perfect time stamps go to the bandcamp page here carseatheadrest.bandcamp.com/album/monomania
Thanks
this cover is really confusing
in my opinion I think it symbolizes letting go of your childhood but idk
Looks like Will in the reflection burning a bunch of artwork from the past. This album is a sequel to TF so I think maybe it is suppose to symbolize Will angrily destroying the memories from the era and moving on post-breakup.
@@alexalexson1849 you put it in words a lot better than I did
Looks to me like the notes he wrote on the rolling paper burning up
@@alexalexson1849 i found out recently they're not actually flames, rotate your head 45 degrees to the left and you can see its the backlit right sleeve of someone with long hair. the bright white point is their shoulder

do NOT listen to csh when your feeling poopy sad i am speaking from experience it just makes it 100x worse
Personally I think matching the music to your mood is really healthy. I listened to most of csh when I was at peak depression and the albums basically saved me. Yeah it makes it worse, but imo that's not always a bad thing.
