    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

    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????

    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.

    • @patrickshevlin42
      @patrickshevlin42 Před 7 měsíci

      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

    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
