LYRICS
hung pictures of patron saints up on my wall to remind me that i am a fool- tell me where i came from, what i will always be: just a spoiled little kid who went to catholic school. when i am dead i won’t join their ranks, because they are both holy and free, and i’m in ohio, satanic and chained up, and until the end, that’s how it’ll be. i said make me love myself so that i might love you. don’t make me a liar, because i swear to god, when i said it i thought it was true. saint calvin told me not to worry about you, but he’s got his own things to deal with. there’s really just one thing that we have in common. neither of us will be missed. a saint bernard sits at the top of the driveway. you always said how you loved dogs. i don’t know if i count, but i’m trying my best when i’m howling and barking these songs.
I don't get this song
it gives me feelings that I haven't had before
that's why I like it
same
kINGO
SAME !!!!
Same
next person to say same can ligma balls
Json Peters same
1:24 always gives me chills
yo dude | Same here. And I love it.
Saammmeee, that's probably my favorite part tbh.
Try listening to that part on .25. That is what hell probably sounds like, lol.
@@dirk5472 OH GOD
Best part
holy shit this is so good i haven't been able to stop listening to this
so i'm sending lots of love from the toledo music scene
thank you!!! we will play toledo this summer :-)
Lincoln Vlogs oh hell yea, i'll keep an eye out for you guys.
any update on this or did i miss you guys?
you didn't miss us! soonish i promise!
If you put the speed to .75x it gives this perfect mental image of a depressed drunk guy singing while walking down the road
😂👌
God he sounds so broken at that speed. Like he's about to off himself then and there,, this is making me sad lol
Yeah ikr
Meanwhile 1.25x speed just sounds like a man who’s lost everything close to him but still has to act happy
Listen to 1:24 at .25 speed it’s so scary
the silencechange right befire you say "saint bernard" and then the warble during the line gives me chills every time I love it okay thamks bye
Oh wiw
Wow*
I just realized today, after listening to this song for a week at least possibly more, that this song is in fact in 3/4 time and not 4/4
Rutilated-Quarz ok straight up i didn't realize this either until like months after i wrote this shit lmao
I never understood 4/4, 3/4 and stuff like that because I'm dumb when it comes to music, but if I could take a guess it's the seconds of the beat? Like "Hung pictures (1 2 3) of patron (1 2 3) saints up on (1 2 3) my wall (1 2 3)"?
holy crap it's so easy to just assume it's 4/4
If we're gonna be honest, 4/4 and 3/4 can be swapped a lot of the time. But now that you mention it, this is definitely 3/4.
COR•BIN nah it’s how many beats are in a measure. 3/4 is 3 beats in a measure and the 4 means it’s quarter notes, which is the “basic” note. I’m so sorry that probably made no sense lmao
My ears appreciate this.
Same. xD
I'm drunk and have put you on to listen to as I eat shit food. I love this EP
Bobby Kakouris beautiful
come back to this song
come back to this song
Come back to this song
Come on back bud😂
I need this song to be longer p l e a s e
Yeah but at the same time you know that it's whole and perfect that way
!
Ibraheem650 theres a part two? :0 ty!!
My favourite lyrics/line of the entire song:
"Make me love myself, so that I might love you...
Don't make a liar, 'cause I swear to god
When I said it, I thought it was true."
I really stray far from religion (which is implied heavily throughout), but this hits deep. Especially those lyrics.
listen to it at 0.75 speed. shit's outta this world.

Hung pictures of patron saints up on my wall
To remind me that I am a fool
Tell me where I came from, what I will always be:
Just a spoiled little kid who went to Catholic school
When I am dead, I won’t join their ranks
Because they are both holy and free
And I'm in Ohio, satanic and chained up
And until the end, that’s how it’ll be
I said make me love myself, so that I might love you
Don’t make me a liar, because I swear to God
When I said it, I thought it was true
Saint Calvin told me not to worry about you
But he’s got his own things to deal with
There’s really just one thing that we have in common:
Neither of us will be missed
Saint Bernard sits at the top of the driveway
You always said how you loved dogs
I don’t know if I count, but I'm trying my best
When I'm howling and barking these songs
You could always look in the description lol
Thnx for the lyrics bro, I rlly appreciate it!😄
is that JOxTer i see
uh... this don help
if u just read it it sounds like a killer poem
The song sounds like it comes from an emotionally unstable man who was abused by the religion was everyone around to him. The Saints are considered "Holy and free" and himself or another call this one child "satanic and chained up. He has to devote much of his time to the Jesus and wanting the son of god to not turn his back on him and making him a lair." This man also come to a conclusion, in the end, life is meaningless and "won't be missed."
I don't think religion plays into this, I think the saints are people in his life that did much better than him, maybe his father, but they aren't around anymore and he knows he'll never quite stack up to them. Satanic and chained up, he's fucked up in the past and for that reason he's tied down to where he lives now, maybe he just never got around to leaving where he is and it's too late for him to start a life of his own. Most of my friends from my hometown drank, smoked and partied then got "chained up" to that town after highschool.
Lol it about the movie Kujo i think
*joker*
yo isn't a saint bernard a type of dog
slope yea it is
“There’s really just one thing that we have in common,
Neither of us will be missed”
Dang, I felt that.
Lol me too
It hit different
Same, world feels like it's moving and I'm just watching it through a window strapped down to a chair unable to influence or control it, with my eyes taped open
Same tbh
Yea lol those line give me chills
Just discovered this today and it is wonderful
Tellmeimaninja
Just discovered this today :^)
Just saw this song today
Same!!
Same 😂
I found it through Tik Tok, and oh god, I can’t stop listening to it.
Edit: just noticed I’m late to the party :P
Saint Bernard sits at the *TOP OF THE DRIVEWAY*
(My favorite part of the song LIKE THE CHANGE IN BEAT IS JUST AGHH PERFECT)
This is literally what my panic/anxiety attacks sound like/feel like
I always found this song mournful yet encouraging.
From a Christian perspective the line, "Make me love myself, so that I might love you." Hits close to home for some points in my life.
And the general feeling of grappling with mortality and accomplishment.
I subbed so fast. Thank quiet-stars for me finding you.
same!
GodlyAnimator me too
there's something so unsettling about this song. like i heard it on tiktok first and it was used as like a scary audio n whatever and it got stuck in my head. like i couldn't stop repeating the lyrics from 1:15 to 1:30 over n over again n i highkey got SO mf scared,,,, i feel so uneasy when this song comes on like it makes me want to cry n be frightened. idk if it's jus me but yea,,
tanisha rajput it isn’t just you, I listened to it and I’m shaking and I just got done crying. It makes me just feel unsafe
S
that part made me cry and feel unsafe :c
Why tho it's song
CZcams man it’s just unsettling
"make me love myself, so that I might love you"
i felt that
I kind of wanted to know what the significance of St. Calvin/John Calvin, and it turns out he is an apologetic writer who began his own branch of Catholicism, Calvinism. Calvinism focuses heavily on predestination and absolute sovereignty, so what it basically states is that all things are willed and planned by god and there is no work around lest you risk eternal damnation. I think that this song is about a Catholic Christian guy who was indoctrinated into Calvinism in particular, and is lamenting on how he was always destined to lead a messed up life, possibly up to the moment he's on his death bed.
"A Saint Bernard sits at the top of the driveway' could be a reference to Bernard of Clairvaux and the belief that monks and nuns have a special reserved place in heaven, however it could also be a reference to the breed, and how dogs are obsessively loyal to their owners if they have "treats", in this case a perceived salvation, and the last line is referring to the subject trying to make up for how he supposedly sinned during his life. "You" could be God, Jesus, or the Church in the last stanza, but in the middle stanza
"I said make me love myself so I might love you
don’t make me a liar,
because i swear to god,
when i said it i thought it was true.
saint calvin told me not to worry about you,
but he’s got his own things to deal with.
there’s really just one thing that we have in common.
neither of us will be missed."
"You" feels like it shifts meanings back and forth. "make me love myself so I might love you'' seems like and inversion of the Catholic, beatitude heavy idea of humbling yourself so god could love you, lining up with the final stanza, or to go even further with the inversion, maybe "you" is a loved one, inherently mortal and opposed to immortal things like god. Maybe what he's "praying" for in the middle stanza is what has cursed him in the first, wanting to enjoy life without worry or guilt or the bad hand he was given, and this song goes in reverse. Final stanza, indoctrination into the church, second stanza, listing "earthly desires" he wants and perhaps pursues, first stanza, penance and regret. From this point of view you could either see the meaning being regret of reckless actions despite what you were told, being cut off from a proper experience of life by upbringing and how that weighs on your mind throughout adulthood, or how religious institutions have strayed from "God's" original intent, if "you" simultaneously represents god and loved ones as if they are one in the same, which is probably one of the few happy things to be parsed from this song.
Oh boy, this is a trainwreck of a comment.
atlas Croaked holy shit this comment was good, it wasn’t a train wreck it was very interesting to read, I don’t no much about other religions but thanks for the tid bit of info
Ok but like how does you Twitter look like
Alexa avalos I’m so dead😂😂😂
Five years late but I wanted to know more about the St Bernard connection, I think this is it as it fits with the theme of the song. In a sermon St Bernard of Clairvaux is quoted as saying (in latin) "He who loves me, loves my dog". Which apparently made the saying more popular (though he didn't coin it). The full quote here: “The holy angels…love us, in fact, because Jesus Christ loved us ... ... It is said truly in a common proverb: who loves me, also loves my dog…We are the little dogs of the Lord…yes, like small dogs that want to feed on the crumbs that fall from the table of our masters.”
I see a sort of thematic rhythm in the song. First he states how irredeemable he is, a confession of sin, then a 180° begging for gods love (albeit in an incorrect manner according to the doctrine), but then again back to lamentation in referencing Calvin he is grappling with the possibility that it is God's will that he is not be loved, what's the point in fighting it? Then in the last verse referencing St Bernard it is a reflection of the verse before last, that even if he can not be a good righteous christian even if he is predestined to be a lowly barking dog, he might be loved if he is loyal, but again it isn't clear who he is talking to... In the St Bernard Quote he is already referencing mankind as dogs and that they are loved by their master, God. So perhaps it is another plea for love while accepting his place as a lowly barking dog? Though I almost want to interpret it being that in the last verse he is no longer begging for God's love but for his fellow Man's, that if he is God's dog, that "He who loves god, loves his dog", that he has God's love but that it does not actually solve his material problems on earth. Idk its a good song.
(Also St Bernards (the dogs) are not named after this St Bernard but a different guy, St Bernard of Menthon who set up a hostel in the alps to assist pilgrims through a dangerous pass that later also had dogs)
This song can mean something different for every person. It's so catchy. It's so eerie. It's so chilling. It's so disturbing. I think about what it's supposed to mean at night before I sleep. I listen to that crazy change in beat over and over.
This song, my friends, is a piece of ART.
Hamilton Potato very true. It makes me wanna cause chaos, and just be an overall phyco, It’s a mood, and art.
As a latina, religion and catholic images have always been a part of my childhood. I grew up in a house filled with saints, I saw my abuela praying with her rosary. As a lesbian, though, I have always been conflicted with God and their message. I really wanted to love God, but I have been afraid for so many years of what they might think of me. Anyways this song is...really good. It really captures my inner conflict. I don't know what the band intended the meaning to be, but I found a special meaning for it. Thank you.
Oh and also, today my views on God and what they are and what they would think of me are not as troubling as they were years a go. I'm Okay lmao
I wouldnt worry too much about your being a lesbian meaning god doesnt love you dear. Remember that we will never know what jesus truly spoke because everything we based the bible on was one, things all written almost 200 years after his death, and 2) the king james version had many parts taken out of it and parts not real, written in, to fit how king james wanted the people to act. So for all we know god could be totally ok with your beliefs and lifestyle and we wont really know til we get there. The most you can do is be who you are inside and follow the golden rule of do unto others as you would wish others to do unto you. Because if you denied yourself a lesbian then that would be bearing false witness and that too is breaking the lords command. So just do the best you can love, at all you do. And then you will be far ahead of most of the world. Sending love to you. Miranda.
Lesbian Christian here! Everyone has a different journey in thier faith, but you're not alone in what you're going through. I don't know if this sentiment will mean much to you but God really does love you, and nothing about you would make them stop ❤
I believe the artist who made this song is indeed queer himself, so it's not that surprising you picked up these themes.
Sorry about your troubles. I'll say as a Christian myself I will tell you that you being a lesbian doesn't get in the way of God loving you, or you loving God.

Don't like, I copied these xD
Thank you anyways!
I love this so much. I’m gonna sing it at my schools talent show pretty soon,,wish me luck lol

How did it go OP?
0:45
This always gets me and I love it.
how many times replaying this song is too many? asking for a friend
I think it's impossible to listen to it too much.
It was on my spotify wrapped 😭
LINCOLN!!!!!!!!!! This one is my fave so far!!! But all of them are SOgood!????????????? I am confusion
I TOO AM CONFUSION
honestly,,, with so many of your good songs coming out, who ISNT confusion????!!
oh my god not only you make great music but you're just my kind of duuuude
this is so awesome, everything bout you
:'-)
Isn't this how every surpressed child in a Christian household feels or is it just me because people are saying they don't get it but I understand it on a personal level
Not all of us
I'm in a Christian household and I can't quite get the meaning but something about the song resonates with me so I get it.
@@analuciasolis5352 but that's literally the meaning of the song?
The moment I heard it the first time it just mirrored my Catholic repressed childhood lmao; I feel like it speaks to anyone with black-and-white views of themselves (either I'm holy/unholy) because it sure does speak to me XD
I'm so glad i don't relate to this song anymore, but i can associate it with a very dark moment in my life,
(vent? warning) i had just transfered from a catholic school were i studied from 3rd to 9th grades to do high school and i was having a lot of trouble academicaly. This school i'm at has a system of separaring classes by grades and, because of how bad i was doing on tests, i got stuck in the one with the lower grades. I had been a "gifted" kid up until that point so i felt so bad for being there, plus my best (and only at the time) friend was in the class with the best grades, and, during a whole month, she chose to do online classes, so i was all alone at school. The whole situation, plus the bullying from my classmates, definetly didn't help with the depressive episode i developed the year before (this all happened in the begining of 2021), so i just felt like i was damned in a place that felt like hell, chained by invisible forces. Things are much better now, i actually enjoy this school a lot.
WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ON MY LIFE!!
this song always makes me feel uneasy, yet here i am, yet again, listiening to it on repeat
some of my friends told me that they find this song creepy but i dont find it creepy at all. it lowkey reminds me of those little singing sessions i had with my friends, and thats why i love this song
What type of music is this? I would love to get more of this music for my ears.
The closest thing I can,, kinda think of is AJJ, but like the older shit. I have no idea man
AJJ! Of course! I knew this sound seemed familiar!
The Front Bottoms are similar too.
Uhm i guess in our contry we say these kinds of music is balad but i guess it kinda close
AJJ- People Who Can Eat People are the Luckiest People in the World czcams.com/video/qGSkviwvjD0/video.html
AJJ- Knife Man czcams.com/video/IX7TRD6XaRs/video.html
As someone who has religious trauma this song is what my entire childhood felt like
i always seem to come back here
especially at my lowest
find some sort of comfort within the song
Apple Music put one of their songs in a playlist for me and since then I can't stop listening to this album.
Does anyone know songs that are like this?
I like how the eerie feeling and general tone of the singer, that's the biggest thing for me.
You know, I just realized, he says hes satanic and locked up, and the main beat almost sounds like a boot and a hoof hitting the ground
I’M LATE BUT I JUST FOUND THIS AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH
same
-cough- I found this today -cough-
bro i fucking love how near the end when the bass is lifted accompanying the same voice we've heard is another that is a pained voice and it gets me everytime
For such a short song it really sticks with you
I don't think a lyric has ever resonated with me as much as "I don't know if I count, but I'm trying my best"
This song gives me a feeling I can’t explain
"make me love myself so I can love you" that line hits home
Man, my name is Calvin, and I feel so, remembered, idk what it is, just makes me feel like my uncle is up in heaven looking down at me, smiling. Thank you man, never felt this happy in a long time.
why does this song give a certain feeling that had no explanation
I'm also a spoiled little kid who went to Catholic school-
holy shit i think this is my new favorite song
I have no clue why, but Spotify put this in my Mix of the week... and damn, this was the first song they put rightfully in there... I love this, I don't know why exactly... it's short, it has meaning, it has elements of surprise, metaphoric epicness and a dark theme... perfect :)
this is my favorite song because of all the effort you can tell is put into this. I get chills every single time I listen to it, and it’s just so intense, nostalgic and somehow subtle
I got really cold listening to this
This song hits me really hard...growing up Catholic, I always felt out of place. My church was kind enough, but I never believed. I hated going because I always had to pretend that I did. When my eldest sister tossed the religion, I was so relieved because it showed me that our parents wouldn't judge me for wanting another religion. I'm still looking for one, and it's hard. Being really into spirital stuff, a lot of religons would consider me unholy. I feel like I'm that dog sitting at the top of the driveway, waiting for someone to come.
Look into islam
You can read about Hindu and Buddhist philosophy. It might offer you some peace. And give your some meaning. I personally love bhagvad geeta and also taoism
I love this song so much. Parts of this actually give me chills but I still love it.
Call me stupid I don't care, this is my perspective. I think it's about an abused (possibly sexual) child who went to a Catholic School/Church. He was abused and convinced that it was okay and normal. When he grew up he was broken and wanted revenge. He went looking for him and that's where his story ends. "Saint Bernard sits at the top of the driveway, you always said how you lived dogs" meaning his body can be buried on the top of the churches hill. Death by dogs? The end
agree
Holy crap
When u realise that he explained the lyrics in a comment above
@@georgep1966 wait where
Madison Laprise he said in reply to some one, something like “it’s mostly bullshit, but if you get any meaning out of it that’s cool”
This probably changed my life holy shit thank you for sharing this
Man, I hate that some people have to deal with this! Christianity is not excepting and loving people no matter the flaws. If you are struggling you matter! Don’t ever doubt that
the part where you said "i said make me love myself so i might love you" pierced my heart though the song means nothing to u, i love this.
St. Bernard sits at the top of the driveway
You always said how you Liked dogs
There are songs that feel like they began as a poem. This is definitely one of them. I really like this song. I wish I had the words to describe what it is and what I'm feeling. I just really like this.
Play at 1.25 speed, oml.
@Hey, Im Dabi oh god why did I try this
Omg this sounds way better
Hey, Im Dabi I like it better slower
I know this song for years now and never like the video, i did it today, i really cried a lot to this so short song, but i love it, i think it's one of my fav and will stay in my head for ever
I’ve never heard this before but it made me cry.
Granted, I cry about everything, but that doesn’t lend any less gravity to how it felt.
I love this.
This is so short.
How do I fix that?
I listen to it on repeat for hours on end.
This song feels like all your self loathing coming to head after a break up that results in standing outside of your exes house and screaming your lungs out at 3am.
“There’s really only one thing we have in common neither of us will be missed”
That’s my life quote right there
I remember i found this song randomly about 30 minutes after it dropped on youtube.
And even now 3 years later it still gives me a sense of comfort that i just cant explain.
I don't really understand why there are so many people are saying that its bringing them to tears and stuff.
I’m like a year late but boi is this song great! Wish it was longer tho
This is AMAZING!!!! STUNNING JOB AND CREATIVITY!!!!
I listen to your music every single day, it really helps me muddle through the thoughts in my head.
I heard this song randomly over a year ago and when I tried to find the band, there was nothing. Like, you are the most underrated artist. Please do more with music, you are so talented.
Haven't had a history with religion but this song does something to my brain
This gives me crazy feels
this song gives me goosebumps but it also relaxes me so much.
I keep coming back to this song whenever I can’t sleep
Can't wait until you blow up and get the recognition you deserve, your music is incredible!!
So how many of us have catholic school trauma?
Love this
This has a lot of deep meaning of it this means a lot to everyone life that is really hard that they never had a happy childhood.
I don’t know if I count but I’m trying my best
When im howling and banking these songs.
Ohio isn't even real you're not fooling me Lincoln
Got this mesmerizing song on loop ❤
listening to this in the waiting room for my therapy group I don’t know why it’s calming me down so much
So catchy
This makes me feel
I don't know what it makes me feel
But I sure as hell feel it
This is so good it feels so personal and triggers feelings
i always skipped this one on spotify but now i’ve realized how much it slaps in like a sad way
This isn't a song, this is a story, an experience. A telling.
This is underrated and it’s unfair
This song makes me feel like when i was 15 and went to walk my dog at night, i was so stressed, sad and disconected with the world and it all looked so orange and dark, reminds me of how inky the forest trees looked against the sky and how surreal it all was because i kept wondering what would happen and questioning my existence
It sounds like a shanty. 🤔. It reminds me of a song the sailors sings when they are working together on the sails.
This song brings up memories that I've never had
"make me love myself so that i might love you" holy shit
Can this be extended for like an hour 💛
this song is beautiful. it is rhythmical and there is nothing superfluous in it.
i can’t stop listening to this. it’s so good.
"I said make me love myself so that I might love you, don't make me a liar 'cause I swear to God when I said It I thought it were true"
I'm loosing my Fucking mind being isolated for so long.
playing this at full volume from my phone in an empty church my dad's the pastor of
I adore these songs and hope you make more it's just that they make me feel so many things I thought unimaginable
I like this song reminds me of the movie cujo, which i named my dog after.
