The lyrics are next level good on this one. I knew so many folks with so much dread and angst pent up with nothing to really direct it at, eventually resorting to potentially self destructive methods to express themselves. How lucky so many folks are that they’re in a position to invent the things that trouble them, as potentially contradictory and frustrating as that may be for them.
my mom passed away two days ago. and i don’t know why i’m posting this, but it feels like the universe was listening to me and now i have this. this is just like mom and i, her being a risk taker and paying for it and me getting nauseous walking down the stairs and staying safe. the timing of this song is perfect, thank you for this, boys.
“Oh, it hurts to hope the future Will be better than before” I’ve had this song on replay for the past week, and these lyrics always hit the same every time. They so perfectly capture the fear of disappointment when trying to tell yourself things will be better soon, the sinking feeling that things might never get better- and with the state of the world, it’s most likely they won’t. It hurts to keep thinking positively because you know it probably is futile, but hurting and keeping on living because “maybe it will get better” is the only option you have.
Half of me is so jealous of their friendship, profound musicianship, and awesome personalities, but the other half knows they absolutely deserve every single bit of it, loves them and wants them to do well. I cannot stop comparing myself and thinking how they are so much cooler :( love the songs
you're cool enough to enjoy good music and recognize how amazing they are so don't ever compare yourself, my friend. you are a reflection of what you value in others :)
This hits really hard, it feels like the moments when I feel I've failed my younger self. Believing in the person I could be when I don't believe in who I am has been keeping me going and ripping me apart. Love this song, hope hurts dude.
And just like that I'm the one that's the crybaby. The whole ep with mostly just their raw vocals and guitars feels more like a private songs made into the mixtape that someone that loves you gives you with the piece of paper sticked to it saying "made these while thinking of you" and the whole precious feeling of something very personal is deepened with the lyric videos which remind me of a scrap books reflecting their lovestory. We're extremely lucky they've decided to share with us something so deeply personal yet so beautiful and vulnerable. 🥹
i love all of them so much but songwritting-wise, lucy is on another level.. “cause one man’s dream is another man’s death. i remember when you told me that. didnt know what to say, so i just laughed, but now i know its not funny.” LIKE????? JESUS CHRIST????
This song is just perfection to another level. I play this song on repeat for like 15 hrs straight. The lyrics are have so much meaning. Just pure brilliance.
I have a really good friend who is hopelessly addicted to crystal meth. We are both a couple of anarchist outcasts who like to shoot guns and burn stuff, but I just can't sit by and watch him destroy himself anymore because it's destroying me. I have to let him go and it burns worse than any Molotov cocktail I've ever tossed. This song makes me think of him and that makes me cry. There just isn't enough empathy for the outlaws anymore. Boygenius are picking up the cocktail where Johnny Cash dropped it and I feel like I owe them a thank you for this. Arsonists are people too.
my city usually has major construction in the fall and there's some townhouses being built on a hill around my block by where an old park used to be. this song's gonna make things feel even more festive 👁👁
you broke me apart in a million pieces but you glued me up and now i’m just crying in my pillow after listening to this whole EP. thank you boys for being born, i love you so much. lots of love from Brazil
Not victimised by the lyric at all. In the 1970's, I grew up in a household with a violent stepfather who developed an escalating resentment towards feeding his "cuckoos in the nest". In the context of the song, I think the lyric is saying weak or vulnerable people get dragged into some other persons' sh*t... because they are either unwilling or powerless to refuse. To me this lyric is an astute remark. Best Wishes, Pat
I don’t know how to think of this.. I know one day, I’ll come back and understand just as you did.. until then, it’s another beautiful song which I’ll be listening to every day
What's crazy is I was asking for a sign and I found this song when I change the channel immediately and I heard the lyrics and it freaked me out. Love of my life died last year and he was in a wheelchair because of a motorcycle accident and he smoked cigarettes and he called me cry baby and I disappointed him so all of this was very much a sign and that's just crazy How the Universe talks back to us. I think he still has some sort of relationship with me even though he's not here
I do hope baby me knows I'm proud if her for doing what she could with what she had when surrounded by very unstable people, one day I will learn to be stable to.
"Not everybody gets the chance to live a life that isn´t dangerous" along with "I want to live a vibrant live but I want to die a boring death" make me so emotional because they remind me of Sonny from The Family Corleone book and-
this song fits perfectly with my life right now; nervous to take a risk, afraid of what could happen, I needed this song and it arrived at the right time, at least now I can express how I feel through it🥲 thank you very much for your incredible music guys 💖

OMG ur a boygenius fan!!! I love your channel :)
Beautifully said.
Lucys voice is so calm and soothing 🥺😭❤️
It’s crazy how phoebes talking voice & singing voice are so different
"Not everybody gets the chance to live a life that isn't dangerous" ❤
My sentiments entirely.
my mom passed away two days ago. and i don’t know why i’m posting this, but it feels like the universe was listening to me and now i have this. this is just like mom and i, her being a risk taker and paying for it and me getting nauseous walking down the stairs and staying safe. the timing of this song is perfect, thank you for this, boys.
real bc this song reminds me of my dead dad, stay strong
sending you love.
sending you so so much love. ❤
My mom died a week and a half ago, you’re not alone 🌷
Sending you love ❤

Never compare, just be yourself. Your cool too. 👑 💐 💛🩷💚💜🩵 ✌🏻🤟🏻

I am constantly underestimating the impact they will have on me and ending up crying in public
52y old dad, college daughter sent this to me today, so good. We share a trip around the melancholy.

BOY THIS IS SO GENIUS

gnawing the bars at my cell this is so beautiful
i’m not strong enough for this ep
i’m in love with this song 😭 i can’t stop cryinggg

this is by far my favorite from the ep. i feel hugged, loved, and seen. thank you boys🖤🖤❤🩹
my city usually has major construction in the fall and there's some townhouses being built on a hill around my block by where an old park used to be. this song's gonna make things feel even more festive 👁👁
lucy, sincerely... how could you??
you broke me apart in a million pieces but you glued me up and now i’m just crying in my pillow after listening to this whole EP. thank you boys for being born, i love you so much. lots of love from Brazil

THE COUNTRY TWANGING IS SCRATCHIN MY BRAIN GOOD
Had to play it back instantly
The harmonies are other worldly, the lyrics rival those of any sonnet by Shakespeare. Thank you for this amazing gift. ❤
oh, it hurts to hope for more
Las letras..las voces…los coros…la música…no hay nada mejor!!!
With all the shite that is happening across the world to hear Lucy's voice I know there are people who share real love.
this one is crazy good
if only i could find the words to explain how i feel after listening this song, ty boys.
songwriter of our generation!
im crying this is so cute😭😭
seeing them so happy against these absolute HEARTWRENCHINH LYRICS should be criminal
Raise your hand if you were personally victimised by the lyric "not everybody gets the chance to live a life that isn’t dangerous" 🤚
It’s quite the song in that way, maybe it’s time to live by it
Can be taken both ways. That lyric stood out.

😭😭😭 these emojis perfectly explain my emotions right now
best one on the EP
I don’t know how to think of this.. I know one day, I’ll come back and understand just as you did.. until then, it’s another beautiful song which I’ll be listening to every day
Lucy's songwriting is like a knife stabbed directly into your heart and it started to bloom beautifully like flowers when it rots
Holy shit that's beautiful
Well, Also I wish dedicate this Masterpiece to my great Poet, now in heaven.
GOD BLESS YOU Teacher Felice💙🖤

"Not everybody gets the chance to live a life that isn´t dangerous" along with "I want to live a vibrant live but I want to die a boring death" make me so emotional because they remind me of Sonny from The Family Corleone book and-
