Lyrics:
Throw away the radio
Suitcase that keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, the telephone, telephone in case
You realize that sometimes you're just not okay
You level off, you level off, you level off
But it's not alright now
You need to understand
There's nothing strange about this
You need to know your friends
You need to know that
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need
A friend as clumsy as you've been
There's no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here
Throw away this very old shoelace
That tripped you again
Try and shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
It's only skin now
You need to understand
There's nothing fake about this
You need to let me in
I'm watching you and...
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
No one's around
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need
A friend as clumsy as you've been
There's no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in... Oooo
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need
A friend as clumsy as you've been
There's no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here
In here, in here, in here... - Hudba
I'm 45 now, and yes....the 90's was indeed the LAST great decade.
Yes indeed :) so glad I got to be there. 40 here btw. Doesnt it seem like yesterday?
Just turned 40 and I agree
43 here. Yes, you are correct.
I turn 40 next week and agree with you 100% the 90's was a great decade for music.
I'm 43 and 100% agree.
Not to be repetitive but I grew up in the late 80s and the 90s and I truly realize just how blessed and fortunate I am. It was the real deal.
It's something I thank god for, often.
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
This is the epitome of the 90s right here
well said! your comment gave me chills..people are so different these days..im thankful i grew up in those times too..i find myself looking back a lot..🤘🏻
Seriously was the best time to grow up, crazy first time to the world new shit being thrown at us every day.... ESPECIALLY MUSIC!
Someone in 2024?
They're going to be at a festival in Northern Ontario this year
@@lanabouchard5757 Could you give me more information, please
Yep... Every couple years I revisit.
The 90's were truly magical. I'm blessed to have lived my teens and 20's in the last great decade.
I always call it that. I wish I'd been older, but at least I was twelve at the millennium. I feel lucky for that. I still remember the music, the time, the feelings so strongly. It was so amazing and I miss it so painfully.
@@pluviophile1988 Man...had no idea soo many people felt the way i do! Pretty crazy
Agreed
I was a kid in the 90's, and I miss so much about it. I wish I could just relive that decade over and over, growing older each pass through, rather than these past 20 years.
Man the 90's were kind of awful you're lucky to have survived being a teenager in the 90's. I know I was there and barely got out alive.
This song used to disturb me and comfort me at the same time--I was 17. It has the same effect now--I am 43.
Same.
Same can be said for the video. Can't go wrong with Matt Mahurin (who directed it)!
Same here, nostalgia comforts me, yet I'm sitting here crying
My little sister passed away. Our Lady Peace’s music helped us when my mom passed away when this album came out. We would play it for comfort. I’m doing that now to help. These guys music has always been there for me my whole life.
Things that didn’t happen.
My best friend died shortly after this album was released and anytime I hear any song off clumsy I think about him. Remember through the music
@@rasputin7633 people die and people grieve. You have no one to love and are not loved so this is lost on you. It's sad and I'd feel bad but I feel like you deserve to be ignorant to such things.
Sounds like you've had a hard life!! Hang in there bro!!🤘
Lord hopefully not now. Their music is shit
For anyone that's having a hard time: I am so sorry you are having a hard time. Please remember that you are capable of surviving whatever you're going through. Look for the positive things in life that make you happy. Do those things as much as possible. If you can't think of any positive things to do, look for inspiration from others that do. Find things to do that you are interested in. Feed the positive side of you. It's in there. It may be hard to find, and you'll probably have to go through the negative sides of you to get there. But you can do it. I promise you it's possible.
Life without hard times is no life at all.
Not true. Lots of great (misguided)kids making great tunes
It's possible. I changed my whole life. Which I named the trauma train. I still have shitty times but I learned they don't matter. Minimize the variables that can cause problems, maximize opportunities and be near people you want to be like. If they have what you want they are worth having around. If they have nothing but problems you don't want no part of that. My life is better than ever and I'm still working on making it something I can call great. Best of luck through your hard times.
They played this when they opened for
Smashing Pumpkins yesterday in Montreal. I shed a tear, the nostalgia kicked in. I had to keep my composure. 😂 These times were great !!! I can’t believe this was 25 YEARS AGO !!
That's the perfect lineup.
OLP opening for the pumpkins is a great combination!! That must have been a helluva show...
OMG 25 years, you're right!
Good to hear they’re still circulating around.
He sounds like Billy Corgan
I remember when a friend was like, you ever heard the band Our Lady Peace? And my first thought was ummm... Yeah sorry man, you're not about to put on some evangelist gospel band. But then he smiled and put on this song and i was blown away and utterly confused at the same time when i heard those lyrics in the chorus. Been a fan ever since. Now that friend has passed away and i think of him everytime i hear an OLP song. I'll be a fan for life thanks to him.
RIP, Randy, still listening down here.
suh kyut :')
Joshua Jones im so sorry, but hey a little piece of him to remember music can bring people together
What lovely fiction
Joshua Jones going for that Pulitzer Prize?
Antipopularization@ LMAOOO You're so stupid it's embarrassing. You must be a real unit IRL. Ass kickin's headed your way!!! Good luck!
I’m 48 and still love this music...I’ll wait another 20 years for a resurrection of the grunge!
Long live grunge
hopefully some folks like me will get fortunate enough to bring it back with a vengeance. Grunge in particular, and also other sub-categories under rock. There is something very special in that music -- seems more heartfelt and soulful, thought-out.
Cheers to a fellow grunge fan.
@@genesissutton8307 love this comment. Here to support, buddy
Glad there're still young individuals like you who truly loves rock music. May it be grunge or the other sub-genres. Just keep playing \m/
@@DuncanWLievi 🍻
I want electro grunge....
As a Korean-Canadian visiting South Korea this past summer, I was really happy to hear this song being played at a Korean restaurant.
That's pretty cool.
I live in Korea--Cool!
Kamo Pusha didnt know koreans liked alternative rock cool that .
This comment gave me hope that tomorrow is not lost.. thank you for sharing this.
Oh that's really cool!
Ok, up to 6.8M...that's better. People discovered the greatness of OLP.
6.9 now. A 69 ruined by a period.
@@codytylek7836 Nice one.
God damn, I miss this decade and most of all, that year. 1998, what a great era for music, the economy, peacetime, the environment, and being young.
Tim Nelson 90s music hands down the best music by far.
Me too, Tim! It makes me sad it's over.
kudos t that, miss the 90's..come back!
Tim Nelson this was the best decade for music. The good ol days
the 90's hmmm the generation that grew up with beavis and butthead
45 years old and I still listen to this song, comforting song for someone who suffers depression, it helped me through my depression! To those still listening you guys know good music.
Definitely a time machine song that brings you back, very comforting. I just turned 45 I'm on the same boat.
Literally one of the most underrated bands of the 90s. Def the best thing to come out of Canada musically during that time.
This song makes me miss the 90s.
So much it hurts
I miss everything lol
Totally
I honestly can't remember the last time I listened to this and as soon as it came on I just started singing and remember all the lyrics. Amazing how some things will stick with you.
its called subliminal messaging
Haha me too
The absolute magical power
Me too
I simply adore this song, it really resonates with me. I come from a history of physical abuse from both family and strangers. Being bipolar as well, the weight of my illness had brought me close to suicide on several occasions. This song truly helped me through some rough patches. So much so that I got the lyric "level off" tattooed on my left arm. These guys had a hand in saving my life and I am forever grateful.
Hippie4Hire amazing! Stay strong my friend!!
What an amazing story ❤️ Stay strong, friend!
I got "Ordinary's just not good enough today" from Supermans Dead.
you are amazing, don't ever doubt it!
Happy New Year's buddy!
ahhhYES!!!!I love level off!!!
These guys have always had a unique sound, great lyrics and song structure. Great stuff that holds up so well all these years later.
I hate what the world has become... i miss the 90's and early 2000...
u act like the 90's and 2000's didnt have many problems as well. maybe help fix those problems instead of complaining.
@@cigheart i probably did more already then ull ever do so whatever 😅
Me too. It wasn't perfect, but it had hope
@@cigheart Well there wasn't internet, so people were less depressed & alone.. and actually lived the life.. Miss those days too
@@FrxBass wait ur saying depression is linked to the internet 💀
I miss the 90s so fucking bad!
Me too :..(
Can we go back
2021 sucks
48 year old here.. I miss the 90s very much. I read the headlines of current events on a daily basis... What did we worry about in the 90's? Christ where is this world going. I don't even know what current music is like. Music was always such a big part of my life. Now I reflect, listen and remember. Perhaps it is rose tinted but I'll be damned if someone can say that the quality of life has improved since the 90's.
Who doesn't want those times back? Awesome everything in the 90's.
Big OLP fan from the 90's. Their alt-rock was relatively good-natured, which I appreciated.
Listening to this after work, what a masterpiece❤ missing the 90s😢
It's good to see few months old comments instead of +3 years. People still craving for OLP 🔥🔥
People have said and I agree that it might be a song about someone dealing with depression maybe self harm. This is one of my favorite songs though. Canada has produced a lot of amazing bands.
+Kevin James Well no shit thats what the song is about lol
+doctordrizzay I heard that's just a legend
It's about drug addiction.
go Canada
to me its about looking out for numero uno, knowing your frends, and deciding who is worth your energy. which is important if you're a victim of your own descrtuctive habits. cool how poetry can mean so many different things whether the writer intended it or not
classic song. i remember listening to this in middle school long with matchbox 20 & third eye blind
melahuak our lady peace ,mathbox 20, nirvana, green day, oasis, third eye blind, blind melon, nine inch nails, sublime, korn... fak! what happened to the 90s? :'(
Don't forget RATM, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice In Chains
You gotta keep em separated!
You should check out Tabitha's Secret if like MB20. Was Rob, Brian and Paul's previous band
@allison muszynski Haha, yes! Such good memories!. Yeah music today is just brutal, I don't know any of todays music, thankfully!.. lol. I wish they would bring back Much Music... Speakers Corner was awesome.
kids these days will never know how hard it was growing up, and simple songs like this kept us away from the dark, for us to live a nother day
Some would argue it's just as hard but with different obstacles and, at least for me, less original music. Or maybe it just resonates less for me than the our caregiver generation. Yeah, they'll be taking care of us😮
November 2019 I'm still here because I know I will never hear music like this again !
Ya :(
Sad.
One of the most underrated bands.
There's plenty of good pop rock out there. Go and find it!
I'm a 17 year old girl who loves this band. And this song. I need to see them live, I think they're amazing.
You must be 27 now?
@@jojogogo740 I am! Still love this song and I've seen Our Lady Peace perform live twice now. :)
@@PressCtrlG This came out when I was a teenager as well I thinks it's nice when a experience can be shared across multiple generations
I've seen them and YES, THEY ARE AMAZING 👏 😍 ❤️
@@PressCtrlG wow....a 10 yr old commenter coming back to reply.
Lol. I'm just here to listen while I clean cause I put this on my y.t. play list like 13 yrs.ago.
Ur original original comment reminded me of being 17. They were my fav.band. if I was hvng a meltdown or needed to be calm, I'd have to put this on.
A lot of crazy stuff happened in high school with this as the soundtrack (for whatever reason). Lol.
Nice to meet u ❤
My dad suffered with Alzheimer's for 9 years.The last 5 were hard for all of us.A physician who helped people.A great grandfather,father,husband,professional.This song reminds me how frustrated you would get when you'd look at me and not know what to say or how to say it.Your eyes told me everything.I love you dad.You made me who i am today.
Lost my father too, only 64 years old .He died way TOO SOON..He was the best.
My grandma died from Alzheimer's. I think the hardest thing about it when I was a child and she was in the earlier stages of the disease was trying to keep her away from mirrors. She didn't recognise the person in the mirror as herself and would try to talk to it and wanted to always introduce me to the person she was talking to in the mirror. I always had to try to keep the door to the bathroom closed when she didn't need it and tried to direct her away from the bathroom after she was done so she wouldn't get stuck talking to the mirror.
One of my favourite songs of the 90's.
SFO14 mee too
Hey guys our 40's are showing 🤣
i’m 33 lol
Hey I'm only 36 😂
I'm well into my 40's and I still feel this song like I did in my teens. Nothing hits and sticks with you like a 90's song from your younger days. The memories and feelings it brings back are something that can never be replaced.
Music isn’t made like this anymore. Take me baaack.
This band is so good. It’s so nice to get on CZcams and listen to music that actually meant something.
From the Lead singer Raine Maida:
"There's a connection between the song 'Clumsy' and it being the title of the album. There's a line in the song that says: 'I'll be waving my hand/watching you drown/watching you scream', it's about seeing something but not seeing it for what it really is. It's about decisions. That image of 'waving your hand/watching you drown,' is about seeing someone in the water, they're waving at you, and you're just waving back, not realizing that they're drowning. Or you think they're drowning, but they're just waving at you. It's those weird situations where you just take something at face value, but you can be so wrong. You have to look deeper and question things. I think it's something that too many people don't do these days. We're so inundated with the f--king media, and you just believe it. How many times, not just to focus on us, have we read an interview or an article where we've been completely misquoted? We're just some small band, when you think about some of the major players and you really have to question how true it all is."
Well said good soul! 🦍 we are waking up.... slowly but surely! 🌎☮️🦋🐢🐝🚣♀️❤️
Thank you Raine☮️☯️💜 seattlerockrgrrrl ☔🖤
Genius saw it coming - more relevant nowadays than ever!
That's why I watch FOX News, not mainstream media!
I always looked at it like someone drowning in addiction or depression, guess that's just bc I linked lyrics with own experiences. thankd
This song is about having a loved one who is addicted to something. Its at that very specific point in an addiction when its clear that a problem exists, but before people realize the extent of it. When it started, people thought it was funny, you were the life of the party, but now no one is laughing, and and at first your love ones think maybe you just need a friend, or that you just need some sleep, but ultimately they realize all they can do is stand around and watch you drown.
Yup sounds like my life right about now
This is a lost gem. A song about karma coming back on someone to the fullest. So glad I have a long memory and remember songs like this.
Naptown? I live in Indy too!
When I was young I honestly thought this was a song about guy waving at his friend who was drowning...like "bye, bye" waving not like "take my hand if you want to live" waving.
That's EXACTLY what it means. Watching and waving as one drowns. Now that's a sad story if I've ever heard one.
Gem 9 out of 10 banger. Very underrated, under-known 90s song.
i was 16 when this cd came out. i get flooded with memories and feelings. now that i am 32 it feels like a lifetime ago. crazy to think how heavy in rotation this was on everyones radio station, and everyones favorite music video channel MuchMusic... which doesn't show too much music videos anymore. regardless, i got to this via Odd's I could be your man video, and it was a whirlwind of memories along the way. fun to read some of your comments, makes you realize the impact music has on all of us.
I was 11 and it does feel like a lifetime ago, lots of nostalgia attached to this song and band. Great music; so cool that you could once hear songs like this on the radio!
29 now was in 6th grade wow this takes me back
I'm only 17, I met this song a little while and when I hear it I feel like I was being teenager at that time .. weird but great feeling!
Brenda Ribeiro You're never too young to enjoy good music from the past!
Tasha Schneider you right :)
i remember the late 90s when i was younger in vancouver and this would come on the radio in my mom's car or at home and everyone was crazy about it including myself. i miss the beautiful music of the 90s and just the 90s in general, A LOT.
Vancouver in the house,love my hometown.
THEY INSPIRE ME AND COMFORT ME AND HEARTFELT!!! MISS THEM!!! FAV SONG!!!💯♥️
2021 and I appreciate this so much more now
Just re-found this after maaaaaany years.
Everyone pray for the 1.1k lost souls that downvoted this masterpiece.
they downvoted it because this era of humanity has passed.
I mean, it's not a great song. It does bring back some memories, like most of the overplayed radio music from back then. Doesn't make it quality music :P
I know I can't believe the shitty music out there these days
90 Teen i grow up 2 that stuff. ...1.1k dislike lol...they dont know nothing. ...2 day music no talent. ..no inspiration. ..they do remake of everything we grow up with. ..without keeping a verse from the artist who made it up or invite him. ...fuck the post malone. ..lil durk. ..minaj and poisonous shit. ..that they call musik these days. ...we can do the same sitting behind a console and make à beat. ..
Always
Take me back to the 90's pleaseee! 🙌🔥
I'll be 40 in March! This is my music right here! So many good memories listening to you Guys! Still rocking out
Raine's voice is just the best ever ❤️ The whole band is perfect really
Wow I used to record this song before in my radio cassette tapes and been listening to this until high school and I swear this is the first time I actually seen the music video, turns back the clock.
Man, 90s hit songs really rocks!
90s was the golden age. now it all sux
Funny, I've been an OLP fan for years and was just wondering how it is that I've never seen this video either when I came across your comment....from 3 years ago.
I used to do the same thing a lot of people did back then. No iTunes or iPhones but dam good times and we were happy without all that stuff
this song deserves way more views then it has
And to think bands with talent like this were played on the radio at one time.
Yeah, 90's might have been the best decade for good music that also managed commercial success. The abundance of it too
I remember our 97 rock station had a contest where they gave clues to drop turkeys off! My poor husband ran all over Buffalo, ny! We got tickets to see them in a small venue! Best concert ever!!!
this songs reminds me of how perfect life before, simple, no facebook, no emo bands, just simple life with tons of great music, 90's have the best music
good parties and friends all around.
Ok boomer
SILENCE, MILLENIAL
Mindswirl21 ...your right....5 years later I'm listening....God Bless....🕯🕯🕯🕯

Canadian music had so much truth and emotion to it, I think more people should take time to listen to it
❤
Amen
Canada's superior education system probably had something to do with that. (I'm an American, for the record.)
Are you like a teacher or something?
Might want to have another look.
Keshia K
Oh God. I 100% forgot this song. I only looked it up because I found an empty mixtape case from 1997 and this was the 1st song.
90’s sure had great music!!
20 years later and still an awesome song.
Was anyone born in the the 80s who actually listened to this song 🤷🏼♂️
Me 👍
1984 i used to rock out to OLOP like a mofo
Here. 1987 here. ❤
1980
This band doesn't get enough credit. Age of spiritual machines is transcendent.
The band got plenty of credit 20 years ago. You missed it.
Just turned 44 in 2022 and I still love Our Lady Peace!!
... Y si llegamos a pasar los 100 años, seguiremos amando éste pedazo de canción. 🍷
So happy to have been a teen during the 90s. So happy to have been a part of that great decade, and to have had some of the best memories anyone can have during those GREAT times.
This was the first song I ever listened to by OLP turned me in to a fan for life.
CreepyPuppyPasta So true!!! I'm pretty sure I heard it off the "I know what you did last summer" soundtrack. The entire Clumsy album was fabulous!
CreepyPuppyPasta same here
CreepyPuppyPasta Yes! A friend and I used to fight over a sampler cd because of this song. 😂😂😂
I swear I was born in the wrong year I'm 14 and love this song
i agree, so many things i wish i could’ve experienced being a teen in the 90s, but music is definitely number 1. makes me sad i wont get to ever experience most of the bands of that time
I agree completely. I just feel so out of place in 2023.
Love Our Lady Peace! Finally saw them in concert a couple weeks ago with Live and Bush. I'd been wanting to see all three bands since I was about 15, so it really meant a lot to me.
Our Lady Peace has the most beautiful lyrics ever!
I was born in 88, but I vividly remember hearing OLP, soundgarden, smashing pumpkins and wu-tang clan when I was very young (my mom was a huge grunge fan). The grunge made me and rap molded my perspectives of other cultures.
Can I please GO BACK NOW! Go back to this kind of music and not a care in the world.
Throw away the radio
Suitcase keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, the telephone, telephone in case
You realize that some times your just not okay
You level off, you level off, you level off
But it's not alright now
You need to understand, there's nothing strange about this
You need to know your friends
You need to know thatI'll be waving my hands
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loudAnd maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need, a friend
As clumsy as you've been
There's no one laughing
You will be safe in hereThrow away this very old, shoe lace
That tripped you again
Try to shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
But it's only skin now
You need to understand
There's nothing fake about this
You need to let me in
I'm watching you and I'll be waving my hands
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
No one's aroundI'll be waving my hands
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud
¡Muchas gracias! 🍷
An oldie but a goodie.
I love how to this day nobody questions how tf a tall glass of water flooded a whole bedroom. We just let 90s music videos be legendary weird. LOL. This song got me through some depressing times in grade and middle school. OLP consistently made music that spoke to my soul.
😮how many memories this song brings me Oh God Life is beautiful when songs like this takes you back to old times
Brings back memories
I've always loved the backing harmony vocals when he sings "as CLUMSY as you've been, there's no one laughing!". Something about that line breaks my heart.
Our Lady Peace was, and continues to be, one of my favorite bands! I am so glad that I can enjoy something in my late 30s that I enjoyed as much in high school. Plus, Raine’s eyes are absolutely beautiful!
90's a lot of great bands
I totally forgot this song even existed. Almost in literal tears. It’s so weird how a song can take you back to a certain time and place and make you have feelings you haven’t experienced in decades. I’ll never forget this song again…
I played this CD over and over and over and over again in my room. Love it!
Have you ever heard of anger management? If not, look it up. Happy Wednesday!!
CoreyJoe Shipman
Geeez......nicely handled CoreyJoe- some people are just beyond belief.....
I know that's right! Life is too bad ass for the crap!!
Chasity Shipman I have it on cassette (well, it was my dad’s, but I “borrowed” it from him along with his cassette copy of Nirvana’s “Nevermind”)!!!
Your not the only one : ) What about How's it gonna be?
My dad just remembered these guys and sent me some of their songs, this is the first one I'm listening to, so far i like it!
Your dad sounds cool!
Incredible singer with such a unique voice and beautiful blue eyes❤️
I wish I could just go back to the 90s as a kid. I didn't realize it but I had it made back then and I didn't appreciate it
I was at work and one of the cooks was listening to music. She was playing this song and it almost brought me to tears but I also felt happy.
Most under rated band on the face of this Earth
I’ll be forty in a year... 90s were the best 💔💯
This band is one of the edgiest of the mid-late nineties. And they still rock!
Classic tunes these guy are way too underrated.
who’s here in 2024 crying 😢 lol
so. I'm 36. and this song still gives me goosebumps.
my brother did a project in jr high, and he used this this song as a skit. during the break at the end. he was shot and died. and wanted the rest to play, but I guess the teacher didnt see that as fit.
thank you 90s. or just good music!
you're amazing guys.
I was listening to this song when my nan passed away recently on March 24th, 2021. This song brought tears to my eyes...I felt so alone 😔😔
2022 and still such a hauntingly beautiful song. Ugh Raine 😍❤
Best band ever. This band has gotten me through so much in my life.
I’ve never met them but I’m sure they are great guys
Signed some washed up loser that used to party with rockstars
It is a great testament to songwriting but it resonates with me, beautiful.
This song immediately brings me back to my old LSU days. Great memories
Go tigers
I don’t know what it is about this song but I can listen to it over and over again
This song always felt very personal for me, its like my depression, personified, is singing to me.
The first few lines; 'Throw away the radio
Suitcase that keeps you awake
Hide the telephone' speaks to how I try to drown out my sorrows by listening to sad music which ultimately just makes me feel worse, my feeling of wanting to escape my life and the idea that seeing beautiful things might make me feel like life is worth living, and now more than ever with cellphones, the need to 'hide the telephone' to keep myself to spilling my emotions on people.
Being in a deep depression really feels like you are drowning, you feel tired just from existing.
The lines 'as clumsy as you've been, there's no one laughing' speaks to how I've always tried to be the entertainer, to make people around me happy and laugh, and how I've always felt that deep down they still don't like me.
'maybe you just need a friend' I've never been more happy in my life than when I have a partner. Unhealthy as it sounds to rely on someone else for your happiness I've always felt like I mattered, like I wasn't an after thought and like I had a best friend that I could do anything with and share anything with while in a relationship.
No idea why someone would bother to read my personal interpretation of this song but there it is. I had to write out what I've had in my head since first hearing this years and years ago.
no worries, you're in good company. Back in the day, we had Clumsy Congress which was just a bunch of us OLP fans interpreting their songs to death and talking about what they meant to us. I hope people are still doing this in 2120. :D
I feel you, good luck.
Dude I be feeling the same way.. you won’t allne
Your interpretation paints a very familiar picture. When I was about 13 or 14 I think, I've always felt like I never belonged, I was often sad, I couldn't understand or relate to the happiness my classmates or even my close friends were experiencing which lead me to have a very uneventful and bleak teen years that I absolutely regret. I listened to OLP practically everyday then, but I never actually took the time to pinpoint the things in my life that I could attach per line of the song. You make me wish I did. All I remember was that I felt better singing along and really feeling the words as I sang them. On a lighter note I think I ended up with a stronger mental and emotional composition than most in my adult years. I only hope that you have come out stronger and better than most as well after going through those tough times.
Wholy FU KING SH T REVEN, U JUST LITERALLY took everything I have battled with and still damn do to this day at 47 and I swear to God idk I could o ly wish u were a woman and even remotely close to my age because we would literally be a match made in heaven that could not be described , made or found more perfectly Said..

I am a 90s kid (Jan 1990) who only listens to 90s music and artists, and I have never heard of this song or this band before.
Turning 45 this month. May 22/23. Hope you blare this tune!!
What an awesome blast from the past.
Winter Steele yes
This song reminds me of a lost friend that I'll never see again. The memories are bittersweet. Miss you MCM 😞
This one brings back a lot of memories after 45 years of a crazy life and the best part of it was, is and always will be Jesus Christ. The difference between now and when this song came out is that I’m not ashamed to say it. Bless you.
Their is so many good Our Lady Peace songs, including this one.
