  • Cavetown's "Boys Will Be Bugs" from the album Comet, part two of five in Cavetown's Animal Kingdom collaboration series.
    © 2018 Cavetown
    Typically Comet moths aren't able to eat or drink, and die within just a few days, but Animal Kingdom's Comet is different.
    On Venus Comet moths live full lives, but our Comet became trapped in a meteor when it swept through Venus' atmosphere and hurtled towards earth. Landing in a forest near a city, Comet ventured into the streets to find anything she could drink to stay alive in this new realm.
    Strangely she was drawn exclusively to strawberry soda, and she would fly into vending machines to steal sips.
    She has now settled into the forest, where she has assumed a motherly role to the animals there, diffusing tensions with her gentle manner and ensuring everyone is comfortable and happy. She's also the only one in the group who can read and understand human language from her experiences in the city, so this comes in handy whenever the animals need to venture into the urban unknown.

    I'm a dumb teen boy
    I eat sticks and rocks and mud
    I dont care about the government
    and I really need a hug
    I feel stupid (stupid) ugly (ugly)
    Pretend it doesnt bother me
    I'm not very strong but
    I'll fuck you up if you're mean to bugs
    It's getting cold down here underneath the weather
    I skipped class to sit with you
    I really like your spotty sweater if
    ladybugs are girls
    How do you make kids together
    What's it like in a female world
    I bet it's just so much better
    I just turned fourteen
    and I think this year I'm gonna be mean
    Don't mess with me I’m a big boy now and I'm very scary
    I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
    Don't message me cause I wont reply, I wanna make u cry
    Ain't that how its s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me
    Boys will be bugs right?
    I'm a dumb teen boy
    All I wanna do is quit
    My mum told me that she's worried
    and I couldn't give a shit
    I have friends who understand me
    Their names are spider, beetle, bee
    They don’t say much but
    They have always listened to me
    The other boys at school
    think it's cool to hate your parents
    But they’re lying all the time
    The bugs advised that I should let 'em
    and if you wanna cry
    make sure that they never see it
    or even better yet
    block it out and never feel it
    I just turned fourteen
    and I think I know everything
    Don't mess with me I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary
    I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
    Don't message me cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
    Ain't that how it's s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me
    Boys will be bugs right?
    I just turned fourteen
    and I think this year I'm gonna be mean
    (Just turned fourteen and I know everything)
    Just turned fourteen
    and I think this year I'm gonna be mean
    (Just turned fourteen and I think the world revolves around me)
    Don't mess with me I'm a big boy now and I'm very scary
    I punch my walls, stay out at night, and I do karate
    Don't message me cause I won't reply, I wanna make you cry
    Ain't that how it's s’posed to be? Though it isn’t me
    Boys will be bugs right?

    Im a girl, so I obviously don’t know what it feels like to not ever feel as if you’re able to cry as a male because it’s “weak” in a sense of masculinity, but the lines “if you wanna cry, make sure that they never see it, or even better yet block it out and never feel it.” Hits SO hard, crying is one of the most vulnerable states to be in and tbh I won’t ever let anyone see me in it.

    This song is for my best friend. He doesn't listen to music, (literally just dnd songs lol) and one time in class I took it into my hands to find a song he'd like. I went through Arctic Monkeys, Taylor Swift, MCR, twenty one pilots, Metallica, Eminem, (I have very diverse music taste lol) but nothing he really felt like hit him right. Until I got to this song. He didn't act like he immediately loved it but I caught him listening to it later. We listened to it all the time. It's February as I'm writing this and he moved at the beginning of the school year about 5 states away. This song is still ours. I love you Ayden 💜 always will.

    i see a lot of young people here
    as a person who lost a lot of childhood "milestones" due to anxiety i have a bit of advice:
    drink a lot of water
    climb onto trees
    meet new people, but don't trust them too easily
    go out
    don't overuse painkillers
    don't drink too much energy drinks
    give your body time to grow up
    let yourself cry, scream, stim
    lay on the floor, grass, whatever if you want to - it's not illegal!
    give your body time to recover
    don't be scared of psychologists
    give yourself time to figure out your gender or sexuality - it comes with time, don't torment yourself with labels
    don't do hard drugs
    losing your v1rginity doesn't change anything
    don't feel pushed into trying cigs, alcohol or w3ed - if you wan't to try it, go ahead, if you don't then just say no
    wear whatever you want, tell your parents to stop buying you ugly clothes, dye your hair
    IT'S YOUR TIME TO FIND YOURSELF, TO DO STUPID SHIT, YOU HAVE TIME TO GROW UP
    you're beautiful, your feelings are valid and i love you

Not gonna lie I have no idea what a piscopat is but I will admit I used the more extream cases as examples as to why girls might avoid so called bad boys but even if you met a bad boy who didn't do that I still think most girls (who weren't emontinally damadged) wouldn't find thier looks attractive enough to put up with thier typical behaviour of exsseive jealousy, aggression, possiveness, unfaithfulness, drinking, smoking, drug taking, constant partying, ditching class, lying, neglecting he's part in the realationship & being emontinally distant/unavoidable as even in fiction most girls I know only really fall for the guys who seem to only fit the bad boy image at first but are slowly shown to actually have a heart of gold. Unfortunately most guys irl seem to ignore the part about having a good heart but if you act like that without a good heart your not actually a misunderstood bad boy (especially because most fictinal bad boys at least have super tragic reasons for acting the way they do but most real guys don't) that just makes you (at best) an asshole or (at worst) abusive.

We made it as a Pull-up's diaper ad idea but really chaotic. 💀💀 I remember hearing that part of the song on a video and was like, "wait a second. I RECOGNIZE THAT-" and immediately texted my friend asking if they knew about it (they didn't)

    Bro in the middle of class I started writing about this song and I came up with something like this lol
    For boys are like the bugs, resilient and bold,
    Navigating through the maze of life, no matter how untold.
    With each setback, they'll learn and grow, spreading wings to soar,
    Embracing every challenge and coming back for more.
    So let them roam the wilderness let them chase their dreams,
    For in the heart of every boy, there's a world bursting at the seams.
    And though they may be bugs, with quirks and flaws galore,
    Theyll shine with an inner light that nothing can ignore.

    Today I'm turning 17, it's my forth birthday in a row when I will listen to this song. It's a very strange feeling when I'm going to be an adult soon and I don't know if I can still be a bug. I love this song, it has accompanied me through so many moments, the best and the worst, and somehow it become a big part of my growing up. I just want to say thank you for this music and for the emotions it causes in me. I'm slowly entering adulthood but I think I'm still fourteen inside and I think I know everything and that the world revolves around me...
    Boys will be bugs, right?

    Fun fact. This song holds a lot of backstory. Me and my boyfriend plan to play this on our wedding because we listened to this song all the time while on a call. I was in an abusive relationship and i fell in love with my current boyfriend in the middle. I introduced cavetown to him and he instantly loved this song. We listened to it everywhere. It helped us cope with not being able to be together too
