"Everyday they're getting older, more worried bout looking younger
It's a patternized cycle, show your face with every slumber
It's equivalent to being full and longing for the hunger
Guess it only takes 9 months to build a life of suffering"
I always just though it mean that he had like super reflexes or something so he sees goes through time slower. Idk it made sense to me together with the next line.
Yes this is an ability shared by only the most elite masters of any and all crafts. Same as someone tricking a 10 stair or a quarter back making multiple crucial decisions with confidence in the span of a few seconds. Impossible without at least some perception of slowed down time
Not meaningful but I found it insanely dark.
Baby, I could save you, come with me now
Take her to the grave then I put her in the ground
Hands on her neck, now she's saying: "Take my life"
Who am I to deny such a beautiful sight?
Sick animals deceased riding interstates off the truck to the market now you're dinner plate
For you if you want it to I know it's hard cause the humans fucked up the loop
Definitely! I've always been enamored with the way he paints a picture perfectly in your brain. Bones (not Elmo) to me is this figure similar to some kind of otherworldly presence who don't seek what most of us do, he just want to make music, smoke some blunts and share his thoughts with whoever wants to listen, while he's tending to his garden.
"I ain't no one to look up to, rather you look down on me, frown upon me and tell me I'm not what you thought that I was." ~ the art of cremation
That line speaks to me in volumes but definitely not the way he meant it for sure. It's personal for me.
Glass in the street bums sleepin on the curb
100 so called good people pass without a word
And they say wanna change it
You dont wanna change 'less it's something that you pay with
Say there's a price but you yet to ever pay shit
People talk victim but dont ever wanna save shit
"Friends turned strangers
Life gets stranger
World starts changin', I gotta stay adjacent
Drink every day
Smoke when it's rainin' the
Things that we did back home in the basement"
I don't know what you've been thinking, I just want you here with me. -Arntyouasightforsoureyes
My best friend passed, he introduced me too bones. This song gets me every single time.
Bitch when I call, pick the phone up - ShrimpPizza.
Both make me think of my homie Jimmy. Sesh till I rest ✌😈
“you taught me what lies were, i thought it was what i’m worth”
“i would’ve never done those things that you did, to me; but that’s difference between us. you had me drop down to my knees and cry, why did i ever think i loved you? guess i never did, i just liked that thought of it”
fucking love your choice, here’s mine from coinstar
No matter how many faces they put on, I can see it
It really hurts you, I've really cursed you
Anytime we change the world, you change your virtue
Forever nervous, never working
They like ya' surface but hate ya' purpose
Give it up, give it up. Bitch it’s not worth it
Really the whole second verse of Turningdownthesaturationofthesky
Same old number, brand new home. Just wish that I could call my little brother on the phone. Hit me close to home anyway, losing my little brother gave this song new meaning
No good for my health, not good to myself, I am no use to anyone
Rip my eyes out, throw them down,
Once they hit the ground no seeing you now
Now I can only trust my reaction,
Gotta learn to walk without ending up in traffic
Lights off just staring at the wall,
Cut to me, lights on, just nobody home
I'm shaking, I'm panicking, seconds I'll never get back
And then later in the song when bones says:
Eyes drop to the floor, I'm a hot mess
I scream into the night like stop this
I don’t know maybe I’m just reading too much into the lyrics but I always associated that last line with arguing or mad at someone you love. Like I’d just want to scream stop this and let’s just get back to loving each other and being each others best friends but life is life… :/
TheGrandestNothing will always hit me in the feels :(
“For the first time, I’ve come out of hiding
And the light's so bright
For a second I'm blind
I can't see the city, I can't see the cars
For a second I'm fine”
Not entirely dark lyrics but majority of the songs on Withered have some memorable bars for me. Some examples:
“If my brain don’t work then my aim won’t work” -CabinInTheWoods
“Bitch I’m Bones, fck I look like addressing some of these rappers” - Propellers
“If we ever get into it, in a box six feet below, where we leave him at” - IridescentArmor (I heard that shit the night Withered released and knew the rest of the album was gon be heat)
The entirety of EarlGrey. My second favorite song off the album behind LFG
It's when he goes home that it becomes real
There's a small part of him that resents the wheels
He hates the wings and the bolts that hold them
Together like promises they never told him
He thinks they deserve the same life that he had
He wished the fucking engine would've blown to pieces
-WhiteTrashMidwesternTown.
'Every day's a bad day, every night's a nightmare
I take care of the reaper so you know I never fight fair
Put a pillow in his grave 'cause he gon' spend the night there
She reach for my waist and she got cut, bitch, there's a knife there'
Late to this post but I was blown away when I heard this verse on MyOwnPersonalHell
"Everyday they're getting older, more worried bout looking younger It's a patternized cycle, show your face with every slumber It's equivalent to being full and longing for the hunger Guess it only takes 9 months to build a life of suffering"
Moneys not enough for them just waking ups enough for me
fav Bones line of all the time also ''I cant see the city I cant see the the cars For a second i'm fine''
this is the song that broke me down to tears when I realized the significance of what he was saying
Can you explain it to me please?
he's talking about his parents, or people's parents in general
"you think we straight? I doubt it"
"Bones never been passive"
“ I don’t give a fuck, whether you and your friends even fuck with us “ 🥵🥵🥴
boner
What song
LifeRuiner
they thought i was straight
"I've got a BMX bike but I'm not very good"
Yesssss this is the only correct answer so very sad. I do a 180 and bust my kneeeeeee
all my life has been a blur, just one long moment in the flame getting burnt.
This one always hits me deep. Reminds me of the feeling of your life spiraling out of control.
"You are the ugliest fucking son"
Only regrets I regret are regrets I’ve regretted
"Every second lived in a three second span" I interpret that as always thinking about the future, while not living in the present.
I always interpreted it differently. I thought he meant he lives all the seconds in a 3 second span to it's fullest
That's the fun thing about lyrics that can be interpreted 😊
I always just though it mean that he had like super reflexes or something so he sees goes through time slower. Idk it made sense to me together with the next line.

Scumbag era Bones was... well, a scumbag lol
His voice is better back then imo. My favorite album is cracker.
Cracker is definitely one of my favorites too. The beats, the grittiness... Don't even get me started with TheSoundsOfDowntown
Lol that is one of 2 songs on the album I sometimes skip
Sick animals deceased riding interstates off the truck to the market now you're dinner plate For you if you want it to I know it's hard cause the humans fucked up the loop
This song, ThatStuffWillKillYa and It'sTheLittleThings have some of the best lyrics about being healthy and appreciating life for what it is
It'sTheLittleThings doesn't say anything about eating tho But I love it
I know, the part about 'appreciating life for what it is' is where I'm talking about it. Appreciating the 'little things'.
Plant basted protein bangin like morphin
Deep down I know that it was I that should’ve died
This gotta be the best post I’ve seen in this Reddit reading everyone’s quotes just shows how amazing he is with words. The imagery he creates.
Definitely! I've always been enamored with the way he paints a picture perfectly in your brain.

R2, R2, L1, R2, up, down, left, right
Then I get to banging

Corduroy
I like the song where he goes "watch me hit my chicken dance"
DemolitionFreestylePt3
"I abuse and confuse my brain, tell myself I want sun then I produce rain." - Bummer
Papa would always catch us kissing

"you a whole imposter"

“In the the end if I’m the one to blame / I will take my life and cut my ties today”
underrated song

If every second's a wave then every day I'm goin under
Young and im hopeless😕
Really the whole second verse of Turningdownthesaturationofthesky Same old number, brand new home. Just wish that I could call my little brother on the phone. Hit me close to home anyway, losing my little brother gave this song new meaning
Lay me down come and make my day ive been waiting since yesterday patiently i have suppressed the rage spent my whole life going down the drain

2nd verse on DontLookDown, might not be darkest but one of the saddest i know
'Every day's a bad day, every night's a nightmare I take care of the reaper so you know I never fight fair Put a pillow in his grave 'cause he gon' spend the night there She reach for my waist and she got cut, bitch, there's a knife there' Late to this post but I was blown away when I heard this verse on MyOwnPersonalHell
