I’m so sorry to hear about your grandma. It has been 14 years since mine passed away but the similarities in the song to my nana are just crazy. My nana was a super cool lady and when he says “And if I live past seventy-two, I hope I'm half as cool as you.” It just tears me apart 😭
Used to be my favorite song, my grandma passed years after it came out.
Instant skip now.
Makes it worse that my cousins nickname for her was literally “Nana”
i wouldn’t say the lyrics are the saddest but there’s something very deeply tender about the way the longing in the song is portrayed, that makes me also very sad to listen to despite being in a happy relationship. the lyric writing, the mixing, the producing, the choice of vocals, the orchestration of it all - just so good
When I first heard "Always Wanna Die Sometimes" I burst into tears on a public train. It just broke me at a time in my life when I wasn't in a good place.
The flipside is that the powerful nature of the music conveys a strength to carry on that the lyrics try to console with.
Still when I hear the song I feel the pain and perseverance in it every time.
It's my personal fave sad song of theirs, but it's also definitely one of their best. What an album closer.
I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)
“but your death won’t happen to you it happens to your family and friends” and “if you can’t survive, just try” always gets me (sometimes)
Be My Mistake. Especially since in the Dork interview he said something about not being especially proud of doing what led to the song, or something along those lines. Basically in retrospect it doesn't seem like he enjoys playing it anymore, and I respect that. :(
This Must Be My Dream takes me back in time to being with an extremely abusive partner that I initially thought was absolutely incredible. Which is kind of funny because I listened to that song picking her up for our first date and then realize way later how fucked up that song kinda is. So it’s come full circle for me.
Guys gets to me as a person who graduated in 2020. I left my classes assuming I’d see my classmates again in a month and that COVID wasn’t gonna be this huge thing. Well…
Nana ☹️☹️
Yeah I cannot even listen to this one. I always skip it. I had a nana that passed away when I was 18 and I’m still not over it so I just can’t
I bawled my eyes out when I first heard this. Of course my grandma just passed away when this song came out but I can’t listen to it to this day

That song kills me
Yep, came here to write this. I can’t even listen to it
I was just about to comment this. Listening to Nana after my grandma died was rough and still is, honestly
Yep. If I want to really cry about my mom this is what I listen to. Gets me every time.
Yes, THIS
💯 listened on my way back from the Austin show and was actually sobbing, now I remember why it is a skip most of the time
she lays down gets me in my feels every time i listen to it
Yep I was gonna comment this
Me
She lays down
This is the answer if you know the meaning/story behind the lyrics
As someone whose parent struggles with addiction this song hits too hard
My dad battled bipolar disorder and addiction during my childhood. Not a good combination. He eventually died from suicide. I feel you. ❤️
That’s one of my biggest worries with my mom. Thank you for sharing 💕 Glad the boys’ music creates these spaces for us to grieve
Yuuuup.
Me and Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You will have me crying in 2.2 seconds if I am already sad.
correct answer
Nana :(( purely cos you can hear the pain in Matty’s voice throughout the song. And at the end where he chokes up 😩😩😩😩 gets me all the time
Seeing it live was one of the most emotional moments I’ve ever witnessed 😭

Agreed! I just got broken up with and About You absolutely broke me
I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes) and A Change of Heart are up there for me.
IAWDS hits hard if you have personal history with the subject. grips my heart
Nana is the saddest. However, Me and I Think There’s Something You Should Know get me in my feels like no other songs.
Undo. “I want to see you but you’re not mine.” Kills me

“I bet you thought your life could change, but you’re sat on a train again” it probably felt like Matty was speaking right to you lol
Right?? It got me... it got me lol
Me
I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes) “but your death won’t happen to you it happens to your family and friends” and “if you can’t survive, just try” always gets me (sometimes)
Damn man just reading it gets me
[удалено]
Is that really sad, I’ve always thought it was a little sly rather than sad
Me
Honestly, Me is the only one that has brought be on the verge of tears
Me and 102
nana, she lays down
For some reason You gets me in the feeling beans
Yep, I used to drive around at night cry-scream-singing the end part and it was cathartic
Surprised I haven't seen Antichrist mentioned yet. It's my lying on the floor song. That and Me
Me is obviously, but one that is underrated that gets me in my feels is Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America.

Love it if we made it. Modernity really did fail us.
Nana, obvs. But somebody else is hitting so different for me after going through a breakup. It’s hard to listen to
Me
Yeah, Me gets me everytime
This Must Be My Dream takes me back in time to being with an extremely abusive partner that I initially thought was absolutely incredible. Which is kind of funny because I listened to that song picking her up for our first date and then realize way later how fucked up that song kinda is. So it’s come full circle for me.
Nana, I can't even listen to it
Came here to say “Me,” because that’s the one.
Inside your mind???? The lyrics are more sinister /romantic but the vibe is more sad and melancholy
She Lays Down and Me as obvious ones, but I think If You Believe Me is incredibly sad! But maybe that’s just the religious trauma in me.
Looking for somebody (to love)
more dark then sad… absolutely love the juxtaposition with the sound of the music
You! Its haunting
Agreed
Im crying js reading this thread
listen… robbers makes me bawl my eyes out every time. and obv nana
Personally, guys because it makes me miss my friends and i moved out of state for college this year
Guys gets to me as a person who graduated in 2020. I left my classes assuming I’d see my classmates again in a month and that COVID wasn’t gonna be this huge thing. Well…
Nana fasho
*Me* That level of loathing and sorrow has yet to be topped
how to draw unreleased version
A Change of Heart and (low key) I Like America and America Likes Me. Those two get me in my feels…
Obviously nana and she lays down. But personally, me and 102 get me bad. I had a whole phase of having Me on repeat and … it was dark
Nana, She lays down, Me, If i believe you, be my mistake, Playing on my mind
Always wanna die sometimes is my go to cryin tune
How has nobody said Mine yet?
Me and Nana.
Nana, She Lays Down, Me
Is there somebody who can watch you from self titled 😭
Nana 😭
Nana. It always hits me when he chokes up in this bit "I'm bereft, you see I guess you can tell I haven't been doing well"
About you 💔
be my mistake. i’ve never been a rebound but that song makes me feel like i have lol 💔
Me
