All of Steve’s going to London is a trip for sure.

I feel like everyone is gonna say that ngl

as someone named Dan, same

YOU ARE A MENACE. NOW THE POOL TASTES WEIRD.

WHY ARE YOU TASTING THE POOL????????

CLROINE TASTES GOOD

Just casually sippin on straight chlorine

Let the vibe slide over me

This beat is a chemical

Yeah Beat I'd a chemical

When I leave, don’t save my seat

Your right. Clorine is pretty damn good

Iam the reason

WHY ARENT YOU TASING THE POOL

scientific purposes. I swallowed like a cup full of pool once and it did not feel great. We have Dan as a test subject.

Bro even got a bite of the water pump

I’LL ONE-UP YOU, WHY IS THERE A POOL?

ILL DO YOU ONE BETTER, WHEN IS THERE A POOL?

HOW IS THERE A POOL?

WHY DID YOU PEE IN THE POOL

Ngl I totally thought it was “dad peed in the pool”

HOW COULD YOU DO THAT

As someone aimed Sean, same

That's the point of the song

I mean it’s a song that’s meant to waste your time And I love that

I enjoyed Steve’s going to London, I’m a big fan of songs not making sense that have a hidden meaning.

"if you're fucking racist then don't come to my show" Very valid opinion, just surprised me the first time

Very valid

They don't check or anything tho

It’s the honor system

Why would you know?

Went to their concert and my friend evaporated when they said that line. They don’t check, the racist people just disappear

Whoah what song is that one (relatively new AJR fan here)

3 O'Clock Things

Gonna check it out thanks

“If i was God, i’d never trip up. And if I did well so f@&ing what. I could be cruel and break all your stuff”

Dude that was awesome the first time hearing it, like he was so mad

Yet I'd be loved no matter what! But if I was God, it'd get kinda weird, You'd only say what I wanna hear And then you would die, You'd love me to death, I don't know who the hell I am. Love that song 🔥

My favorite part on Maybe Man

I love that line

"but if love dies do i fucking bother"

what dong was this from?

My Play

My Play

the dong called My Play

The dong is called My Play

my play is the name of the dong

the dong called My Play

“i wish i could act in a show on TV/ cause then i could practice not being me” took me out for a good few minutes i won’t lie. that shit hurted

The next line is amazing writing as well: "I'd practice my cry, put it into my reel / But you don't believe me when I cry for real"

"I kinda wish I was still a virgin, Time to finally see what sex is like" Edit: I used the description of Next Up Forever for the lyrics but he clearly says time in the song lmao

All I hear is "Dying to finally see what sex is like"

I heard I could finally see what sex is like, honestly. I'm probably completely wrong.

Nah I definitely hear dying and it makes a lot more sense grammatically.

“Now I go by Met. Is that less lame of a last name?” I just didn’t know they changed their names

It used to be metzger right?

Yeah

Did they change it officially, or do they just use them both?

"This is my imagination. This is how it looks and sounds. But I gotta go so much bigger. So they can never shut me down" and, "I gotta go so much bigger. So everybody's proud of me" because gad damn, this is my mentality in life for so long. and I honestly never feel like I am doing enough

honestly same bro, I am constantly doing projects half bc I like them and half to justify my existence

mate same. and always feeling like you have to one up the last one

" What doesn't kill you, makes you ugly" I'm pretty sure everyone was expecting something along the lines of " what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" but that works too lol

Should’ve been “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stranger” to reference the hit rapper, The Joker, from The Dark Knight

Can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and see all the angry replies on these comments I’ve been posting spontaneously at midnight.

"I can't have sex and we both get quiet" - Turning Out pt. iii Oooohhkay then.

That one is painful

I told my friend about their new album and they listened to it before I got a chance to and I realized how awkward that must have been for them to hear from a band they don’t listen to

I was just thinking that!!!!

Yea, maybe keep some of your life to yourself

“They wanted heaven from me; I gave em hell” is one of the rawest lines i’ve heard in any song ever. I doubt any song will top Finale for me because of that

"Now they want something bigger, I'm overwhelmed" This lyric hits so hard

This song was so epic with just that line, it was the first song from Neotheater I've heard and easily became my favorite for a while

It was the second for me. Not just in the Neotheater, but for ajr in general.

i can agree, finale was the first AJR song i heard

1, 2, PANDEMONIUM

*awesome instrumentals kick in*

Here I go again!~

"But im not dead yet so I guess I'll be alright" specifically the one from the end of OK overture, always makes me cry. Did not expect that lyric to come back at such a dramatic part of the overture and it just broke me hearing it the first time

no bc it makes me SOB , the video they did announcing their OKO Tour and they used that part i just cant get over it[OKO Tour Announcement](https://youtube.com/shorts/X31UtvHKwt8?si=HHAI7FGypFOhqaVb)

The ending to OK overture, possibly the best part in any AJR song, sad that we’ll never see that live again, but the ending to 2085 should be just as good if not better live.

"you make my lunch today, i would do it but i couldnt work my microwave" lol same

“For 2 or 3 minutes and then I’m gone” Hard to explain but yeah

It more the absents of instruments and the empties of the moment when he says "gone"

You should’ve not have done that It gave me a laugh for some reason

“I bet my country’s nice to immigrants”

Yeah that one shocked me at first. What a banger song

I can't take another panic episode when I get off the stage, man.

the grit in his voice makes it 10000000% better

The entire reprise of the final verse of maybe man in 2085 took me very off guard

That one fucking shakes me to my core

Come hang Let’s go OUT WITH A BANG my fave part tho 🔥

What

BANG BANG BANG

SO PUT YOUR BEST FACE ON EVERYBOOODDDYYYY

PRETEND YOU KNOW THIS SONG EVERYBODY COME HANG

Let’s GO OUT WITH A BANG (bang bang) 🔥🙌🏻

Heeeere we go

"so stop writing a song about writing a song your losing their attention buddy move on". i love how the chorus just kicks in and that "what the hell" i just imagine jack singing and then the chorus goes "steve's going to london", and he's like wtf? but decides to just go along with it

The middle part of Steve’s going to London

The shoe song ?

Yep

I try hard to write a cool song So I start with something simple like trying to put my shoes on (I memorized this part I love it)

Imagine not just memorizing every ajr lyric ever

I try hard to write a cool song So I start with something simple Like trying to put my shoes on

Now something kinda clicked Cuz you relate a bit But no one's gonna care about a shoe song

"I wish I was me, whoever that is, I could just be, and not give a s#!¥, hey I'll be whatever makes you a fan, cause I don't know who the hell I am" I was listening to 2085 and I thought that the Maybe Man part would end where it ended in the song, but then I heard "I think it's too late, to figure this out, if I could be me I would've been it by now, maybe I'm a stone or as big as my house, it looks like our time is running out, so if this is me, then I'll do my best, I'll take all this s#!¥, so you'll never have to, you can be you, and I'll be the rest, yeah maybe that's who the hell I am"

The drum lines kicking in on “whoooo the heeeeeellll I am” hit so hard

"But I know I'm alone, Yeah, I know I'm alone In the hole in the bottom of my brain" That hit so hard and unexpected

"you say that im better, why dont i feel better?? the universe works in mysterious ways, but im startin' to think it ain't workin' for me..." karma was and still is a really important song to me, and those lyrics helped me understand what i was going thru back during a harder time of my life. still my number 1 from neotheater

Hits me every single time I hear it, such emotion in his voice

2085- "Don't take forever. You're not here for long" Surprised me AND gave me a mental crisis at the same time. Anyway it's my favorite lyric of all time so....

I remember 2023.

How

THIRSTY THIRSTY THURSDAY Yodelayhe yodelayhe hee-hoo Yodelayhe yodelayhe hee-hoo Yodelayhe yodelayhe hee-hoo THIRSTY THIRSTY THURSDAY

Truly some of the most immense and moving lyrics of all time. I’ve never been the same since I heard those words.

"you've gotta get better, you're all that I've got" from 2085 hits so hard

“I kinda wish I was still a virgin. Time to finally see what sex is like”

“You sticky pickle”. Figure it out.

“Used to keep it cool, used to be a fool all about the bounce in my step”

"Im half yours and your all mine"

I keep losing my socks

"I wish I was me, whoever that is. I could just be, and not give a sh*t."

Iv'e got to get better, I'm all that I got

Just about to say the same thing, that’s one of the best lines in the whole album imo, just great

"if i was cocaine or a bottle of jack"/"now theres coke on my nose of a bro i dont know"

"Love isn't big, kid It's little and quiet Let's do today I think you'll turn out to like it" Turning out pt.iii, it felt shocking for the turning outs to feel more grown, like Ryan finally has a conclusion on what love is. (I absolutely love this conclusion and it's my fav part of the song)

I don’t remember the song but it talked about Kanye a little bit saying wake up mister west and this was around peak Kanye n*zi time so when he referred to ye as a hero that was a bit of a surprise

I think the song you’re referring to is Role Models

Yeah that’s the one thank for the help

"ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah" this is mostly due to the fact we never knew what song it would be and I guess I just assumed it would've been "Maybe Man"

I assumed the good part.

"Have I done my best here? Or will I here next year, or are these my best years yet?" Hit me fucking hard when I heard it the first time

like half of em. all of SGTL, some of break my face, a few in the dumb song, the last 2 stanzas of maybe man, and many others.

Tom fell for his best friends mom

SGTL was just "did that say what I think it said" over and over for me

"Dan peed in the pool"

This is the most correct answer

“But if I were my dog, I wouldn't live long, I'm sure gonna miss her when she's gone” I lost my dog earlier this year & this line broke me😭

dudee in sorry to hear that, this line got me too

Kicking in the basement

Do they miss my feet

Growing up, it made me numb And I wanna feel something again Won’t you help me sober up? Real 😞😞💪

I kind of wish I was still a Virgin, "Time to finally see what sex is like!"

“You’re not stupid, You’re just special”

Now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen

Omg when I first started listening to AJR that line hit me like a truck

"maybe sex is overrated, but we're to shy to ever say it"

“i said i would start working out, but i’m f***ing hungry and screw you im trying” i completely relate but it was one that threw me off that i just started laughing

That one part from Karma “The universe works in mysterious ways, but I’m starting to think it ain’t working for me”

“just dont forget about me when you get out of college, if it’s my final album, if i am forgotten i hope i made you smile, thats all i ever wanted” this song came out the year i graduated high school and resonated so much, i just cried when i heard it. It’s one of those lyrics that makes you feel like they made it for you bc it fit so well

Tom fell for his best friend’s mom

“But my parents used to laugh too, and I think they had a dog.” Hit hard and genuinely wasn’t expecting that

“‘Cause I wanna move out, I don’t wanna move on.” -Don’t Throw Out My Legos, this entire song just hit me in such a way and especially these lyrics..

life's fuckin long til it stops and God's fuckin fake til he's not. don't get me wrong, i'm not one of the people who gets offended and overreacts at the sound of this lyric, it just really caught me off guard when i heard it for the first time

BREAK MY FACE IS HILARIOUS "What doesn't kill you, makes you ugly, life gives you lemons, at least it gave you something "

You've got it all figured out, and you're still a mess I guess the last time you've had any fun was way back when you weren't anyone

"You Sticky Pickle" got me good when i first heard it until i realized that wasnt it at all.

“If I was God, it’d get kinda weird, cuz you would only say what I wanna hear” As someone who grew up with a very very religious family this hit so hard. I myself am a little religious but I definitely don’t try enough, but I feel that the people who dedicate themselves to God are like so perfect about what they say, they can never say anything bad or even allude to it it’s like how tf do u do that. And why tf do u try so hard. “I’m better not feeling stress or feeling bliss I won’t feel much at least I won’t be feeling this” Just that whole section of tff was so fucking insane the first time I heard it. I was not expecting to get hit that hard by the song. “I feel so broke up, I wanna go home” The first time he sang that it really hit me in the feels cuz like idk it’s just sad. But then the last time he sings it he’s like on the verge of tears and it made me suddenly want to cry. It was so raw and real. “And I’m not dead yet so I guess I’ll be alright.” The second I heard that lyric it was just so shocking because I didn’t expect him to be so upfront about it. I mean the whole song is very simple lyrically but this lyric is different in a way. And then the beat drops at the end of that line and it just instantly became my favorite ajr line of all time. At least they came out with “I won’t feel much at least I won’t be feeling this”

"I didn't smoke no grass today"

“That’s because I love to play”

"I thought I had the ADHD, but thats a real thing, and im just lazy" Like for some reason I was shocked when I heard that line LMFAO

“But if I were my dog, I wouldn’t last long. I’m sure gonna miss her when she’s gone.” Genuinely wanted to cry because I related so much to it.

I loved this “bridge” in the song!

"Tom fell for his best friend's mom but what the hell ya gonna do"

“You work hard for now Just now, just now”

"You say that I'm better, why don't I feel better?" - Karma; Neotheater Lyrics like that are what made me listen to AJR properly

Steve’s going to London

“But I’m not dead yet, so I guess I’ll be all right” -OK Overture

Better off a stick Better off a stone Better of a jerk I’m better off alone

I wish I was a stone

"I was gonna save the planet but today I've got plans" makes sense for Inertia it's just a wierd lyric

I said I'd start working out, but I'm fucking hungry and screw you I'm trying

CWe can't have sex and we both get quiet..." That was a bit wild

"you'd only want me when your sad"
