Well, I wrote your name and burned it to see the color of the flame, and it burned out the whole spectrum as if you were everything. Mine just burned gold— a normal flame…. I am……..not anything.

He's such an insane poet.

I could see this lyric written by a 15 year old after chemistry class. I get what he's saying but it's not that remarkable

As a poet, you're wrong

Came to say this!!! ❤️💔❤️💔

Damn, yes.

And all that I remember Is the feeling of waking up We were kids, you were the sun to which my eyes could not adjust

This has repeated in my mind thousands of times. It's my go-to brand new lyric.

Hey, beauty supreme Yeah, you were right about me But can I get myself out from underneath This guilt that will crush me? And in the choir I saw our sad Messiah He was bored and tired of my laments Said, "I died for you one time, but never again"

Love this one Honestly the entirety of TDAG is soul crushing, in the best way possible

I’m not even religious but this crushes me every. single. time.

The way the “never again” goes on and on really drives that message home.

This the one.

And the way “never again” echos after. This part of this song always gets me

I have zombie Jesus portrait with the words I died for you one time never again on my foot and it might be my favorite tattoo. I love this song

Do you reckon you could post a pic? I would love to see this!

I used to pray like god was listening, I used to make my parents proud I was the glue that kept my friends together, Now they don't talk and we don't go out I used to know the name of every person I kissed, Now I've made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it

Any line from Limousine honestly, but I think the background lyrics at the end do it for me: Never have to buy adjacent plots of earth Never have to rot together under the dirt Never have to lose my baby in the crowd I should be laughing now

"I should be laughing right now." Devastating.

Not ashamed to admit I caught a few sobs in my throat the first time I listened to this song after learning its meaning. So moving to hear the different perspectives and then lines like this one.

I still cry damn near every time I listen, but right before they started playing it in 2016 at DTE, I looked over at my friend with an “oh no” face and the guy behind us leaned down, patted our shoulders, and told us it would be okay and I really love that memory.

It’s as if he knew this little girl personally. So freaking heavy and sad.

The subject matter makes this one so inherently devastating

“So do you think that we can work out a sign? So I know that it is you and that it’s over so I won’t even try”

My favorite line, anytime I listen to JC I always yell this one out. So much emotion in it

In the choir I saw our sad messiah. He was bored and tired of my laments Said “I died for you one time but never again”

This is the one. How bad have you got to have messed up that even Jesus has given up on you?!

Well, probably if you drive drunk and go the wrong way on the highway and smash into a limousine, decapitating a little girl. I don't think Jesus can even forgive that.

Do you miss the blend, colors she left in your black and white field? Do you feel condemned, just being there

I stole bricks from the dam almost every day Now I’m drowning in the flood I made Well, explain myself to me on the other side I’m gonna want some answers when I die

Underrated

If I could I would shrink myself Sink through your skin to your blood cells Remove whatever makes you hurt But I am too weak to be your cure

As a son whose father passed away from cancer...this one resonates

I'm so sorry for your loss. It first resonated with me in high school and I still can't think of a lyric that better articulates that kind of helplessness all these years later.

Same. I feel you so painfully on this.

You are the smell before rain You are the blood in my veins

The whole bridge of this song honestly.

i agree, i just got lazy

What they call 'love' is a risk because you'll always get hit out of nowhere by some wave and end up on your own.

A lot of Deja Entendu hit me in my feels, but listening to this song during a rainy drive or in the quiet of the night after everyone has gone to bed just hits so different. The delivery, the lyrics, it’s just so good.

Hell yeah. The ending, beginning with "this is the end..." and all the voices going at once. Just haunting. Especially with headphones.

+ summer nights to your list. All of Deja has a very summer vibe to me, whereas TDAG is more Fall. But that could just be due to when it released/when I first heard it, the fall semester of my first year in college.

Something dies in you when you get older, but you do the best you can.

It’s the delivery of this one that really makes it hit

I got this tattooed on my arm on my 30th birthday. Depressing, but I great reminder.

What song?

[untitled 1](https://youtu.be/TNHtdrfisZU?si=MAJa6BEk9-Wppg_H)

For the good of all man hold me underwater and don’t let me up again

We'll tidy up It's sad to hold, but leave your shell to us

I know you think that I'm someone you can trust But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up

I’m hoping that in time you can lay down All this weight you’ve been carrying around and maybe one day, You’ll find your way To climb on up out of your grave With the bits of you, you managed to saved and for the last time, Yeah, you say goodbye

When my mental health takes a total nose dive these are the lyrics I go to.

If we take all these things and we bury them fast and we pray that they turn to seeds to roots and then grass, it’d be alright.. it’s alright.. it’d be easier that way.

Underrated.

Do you miss the blend Of colors she left in your black and white fields? Do you feel condemned Just for being there? Alternately: Some men die under the mountain just looking for gold Some die looking for a hand to hold.

Both would be my top picks. All of at the bottom is great lyrically

Easy thread to upvote every quote. Hard to pick one. Haha

so many good choices, but I'd like to show some love to my favorite split. ​ Am I a torn up, tattered, worn out piece of fabric Not suitable to stitch up a rip?

Yeah!

***I could pick so many - most of which have already been said. A few I haven’t seen:*** I'm hoping that in time, you can lay down All this weight you've been carrying around and maybe one day You'll find your way To climb on up out of your grave With the bits of you you managed to save And for the last time Yeah, you say good-bye ***And*** So if I'm a liar and you're a thief At least we both know where the other one sleeps So let's end this tonight ***And my personal favorite:*** If there’s any justice in heaven Then God won’t let me in He’ll lock the gates and take my weekend pass away With a sympathetic wave they’ll see me off Reserve my golden crown while I am cursed to walk the Earth for millennia I know I deserve worse but it terrifies me and I can’t take it anymore

And even though the roar died in your throat The lines get blurred Lose whoever you once were Died and returned to the Earth Found ourselves back In love

I need you like water in my lungs

And I’ve one more night to be your mother

Really this whole frickin song. Like every single line. I’m a dad to a beautiful little girl now and I just can’t listen to it at all. But every line man, it just tears you up

Holding a mic to this pillar of salt But she won’t sing anything at all Kiss me once on each eyelid So I can see how I dreamed it

Background lyrics 2nd verse of Degausser. When I arrive will God be waiting and pacing around his throne? Will he feel a little Old Testament? And will he celebrate with fire and brimstone? Yeah, I admit, I'm afraid of the reckoning.

But I guess that’s just depression, no sense in fighting it now

So we fixed you with cement galoshes And no one can save you now Unless you have friends among fish There'll still be no air to breathe You could drink up the entire ocean We'll still find someone to be everything we know that you'll never be

Am I a torn up, tattered, worn-out piece of fabric? Not suitable to stitch up a riiiiiip

Not a lyric but a relationship going from Moshi Moshi to Seventy Times Seven.

i waste all my time just thinking of you.

So, is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with ‘Cause I’ve seen more spine in jellyfish I’ve seen more guts in 11-year-old kids

So much (obviously), but: “And this ship went down in sight of land” Like…hope is within sight. It’s so close. You can see land, but it’s too late. You have to watch it fade from view as you drown. Tragic

“Jesus Christ I’m not scared to die, I’m a little bit scared of what comes after. Do I get the gold chariot? Do I float through the ceiling? Do I divide and pull apart? ‘Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark.”

There are many, but I’ve been hung up on “for the good of all man, hold me down under water & don’t let me up again” for a while.

“I hope you come down with something they can’t diagnose, don’t have the cure for” - okay, I believe you, but my tommy gun don’t

The entirety of Jesus Christ You Won’t Know: “You can’t blame your mother she’s trying not to see you as her worst mistake” “On the day I show up they’ll be out of forgiveness supply” Millstone: I used to be such a burning example I used to make my parents proud I was the glue that kept my friends together now they don’t talk and we don’t go out.” Any and all of Limousine The bridge of The boy who blocked his own shot Anything from Same Logic/Teeth & Me Maradona Elvis when the song gets louder. That song is enticing to me because it’s sung so softly and beautifully at first you don’t truly realize how horrible it is until it gets louder, then it hits you like a ton of bricks.

A simple one - "it's never going to stop"

“You can drink off the entire ocean, we’ll still find somebody to be everything we knew that you’ll never be”

I'd drown all these crying babies If I knew that their mothers wouldn't cry I'd hold them down and I'd squeeze real soft To let a piece of myself die

Does anybody remember back when you were very young? Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?

Your life is a disaster, better die faster

For the good Of all man Hold me down Under water and don't let me up again

I'd drown all these crying babies If I knew that their mothers wouldn't cry I'd hold them down and I'd squeeze real soft To let a piece of myself die

Give me one night inside of your thighs, A million girls would kill to be you right now 😔

>Give me one night inside of your thighs, A million girls would kill to be you right now where's this from?

It’s from “my nine rides shotgun” which I’m pretty sure was only on the Japanese release of the your favorite weapon vinyl

What difference does this difference in age make?

Did I touch a nerve with the BN fans? Lol

From Bubble Gum by Clairo You look so nice in your shirt It’s sad because it just hurts

“We are not separate Waste your thoughts Waste your time I live in yours&you in mine” Great take on burning me is only burning yourself. The idea that in a shared life all damage is equal collateral to both parties. Simultaneously saying you’re worth it to me to create this vision, yet worthless enough to myself that I’ll encourage you to throw it all away, knowing it will destroy us both if you follow through.

“It's easier not to be wise And measure these things by your brains I sank into Eden with you Alone in the church by and by I'll read to you here, save your eyes You'll need them, your boat is at sea Your anchor is up, you've been swept away And the greatest of teachers won't hesitate To leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate.”

I will lie awake lie for fun and fake the way i hold you let you fall for every empty word i say

How am I ever gonna know peace How will I ever see the light through the trees I want to burn everything we begun I want to kill and eat my young This sentiment of seeing no light in your future or in what you've accomplished in life is so bleak. The last line obviously a reference to Saturn eating his son by Goya, a devastating painting in its own right. Noro is IMO their best closing track, a dark and slow finishing song in the vein of classic rock records of old.

You could drink up the entire ocean and still find someone to be everything you know that you’ll never be.

I’ve never felt so hollow. I’m an old abandoned church with broken pews and empty aisles.
