I've loved this song since forever ago. And just recently, I've been able to dedicate it to someone I love very much. Thanks Mr. Skiba for all the beautiful music!
Wow. To the person who said "fuck that love matt skeba keep dat shit up love it never stop" Where do I start? Maybe with his name is Matt SKIBA, not "skeba"? Jesus, people who type like you are usually listening to some shitty hip hop music.
Aaaaaanyway, this song is amazing, this man amazing, couldn't love it more.
this is old matt... he grew up. good melody, as always from matt, but meaningless emo lyrics. he looks back and laughs as this misery shit. he's much more happy these days. anyone who has a pop at me for telling the truth might as well not bother cos i'm right
@hollywood4130 I kind of agree there. I wish that Trio did not have to change, but it is inevitable. They've all grown and they don't experience the heartbreak and such that they had when they were younger. It's really a crappy situation, because for the music to be the best things have to go poorly for Matt, Dan and Derek. But since things are going good, the music has fallen off a bit.
@hollywood4130 he might be happier but the music is far worse. he used to be able to pull off clever and ironic cliches in his lyrics, now most of his stuff seems bland and dumbed down.
@xXAskingAlexandraXx Lol... I wasn't accusing anyone of stealing. Sorry if I didn't explain that thoroughly. I was just noting the coincidence, no implication of stealing. Tegan Quin actually performed a song with Alkaline Trio once. They would never steal from eachother. =D
I have no idea what their religious preferences are but thought I'd add it would be possible to be a Satanist and an agnostic. True Satanists do not "worship Satan" or even believe in Satan as a being.
Wrong, sorry but its all there in the name, - Satanism IS the acnowledgement that Satan exsists and the belief of following and comunication with him/it through varios forms of worship.
If you do not believe in Satan or even worship him/it then by default you are something else intirily - Not a Satanist. Alkaline Trio who although delve into the marcarbe to exsplain things in there songwritting are using this stuff as metaphores for there feelings and are not Satanists
@snotbagskullfuck Seriously. You're wrong. Maybe do you research before you open your mouth? It could help with the whole "making an idiot of yourself" thing. I'm just saying.
@KJ6DRG Hi there beautiful, My research concludes.. that I don't care for all these groups that have given themselves or have been branded satanists or how satanism has ivolved to become meaningless when they all have mixed views and watered down believes, as the word looses all meaning. I was talking DICTION and the word Satanist was originally coined to refer to people who believed and were thought to worship satan. Fact. the word has historical relevence and should be kept that way.
@snotbagskullfuck Still wrong, bud. With regard to A3, the discussion on Satanism is of the Anton Lavey variety and not your "historical" idea of literal Satan-worshippers. There aren't "all these groups" as you put it. There is one officially/legally recognized religion dubbed Satanism and one Church of Satan and you are incorrectly classifying other groups and individuals as Satanists. Fact: your argument for historical relevence is not relevent.
I don't see why skibas religous (spling?) veiws always come up on the you tube comments. Whats it matter, good music is good music. Personally i'm agnostic and find atheism to be as closed minded as the rest. But Dan Andraino has been qouted saying he believes in A god, and Derek Grant is totally atheist (and yes i'm falling into the trap but, Skiba's agnostic). Point being; it don't matter.
He IS a Satanist but as he explains on the A Story Of Goddamnit documentary, satanism started as the belief that heaven would be a boring place where you cannot drink smoke etc, so the Church, made lots of rumours about Satanists doing scarifices, hence the current prejudice against Satanists today. The church used the word taken from islam (shamh) which Satan is derived from (no racism, it was in the time of Crusades when they were at war and sawthe language as 'dirty') There. Problem solved.
All This Babble On Religion, And Who IS, And Who ISN'T What... Does It REALLY Matter? Isn't It MORE Important to See WHO This Man [Skiba] Is, Rather Than WHAT He Is, Anyway? He's A Fantastic Songwriter, Singer, And Musician, Who Made Yet Another Masterpiece, And Even For A Cause As Good As This Was
Matt Skiba is not a satanist. He was raised an atheist, and was taught to stay away from any organized religion. To this day, he just sees religion as something silly, and the Church of Satan thing is nothing more than something fun for him to try, it's nothing he believes in. He also has much respect for what other people believe in.
"the Church of Satan thing is nothing more than something fun"
I'd say you just contradicted yourself there lmao. The fact is that ls that AlkalineTrio were all card holders of the Church of Satan and therfore they are satanists...
False, he is Agnostic, as he has said so himself on numerous occasions. The Church of Satan deal is not much more than a gag. If you were Baptized and went to church when you were younger, does that make you Christian? No, it means you were Baptized and have gone to church in the past.
@penile1 right on. I was raised in the church and baptized but have been Agnostic my whole adult life. I remember a trio write up in an old skate rag (around Good Mourning) where Skiba said that he was Agnostic but loved the imagetry (sorry bad spling) of satanism. But really whats it matter good music is good music, plus people seem to forget that they are a trio, not Alkaline Skiba.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This song literally made me cry. I thought I had demons coming after me and someone that loves me gave me a note that said this and said look it up.... it is a beautaful song.
It is amazing, but coming from another songwriters point of view, I'm will willing to bet for everything amazing song there's about 10 songs that aren't as good but just don't get released.
matt skiba NEVER ceases to amaze me and infact his music hits my soul so bad, it leaves me feeling a bit empty inside because someone else can understand how im feeling, like he took apart of me when he was singing it, if that makes any sense.
No one will ever truly understand every metaphor Matt Skiba uses in his song unless he him self explains it. And that's kind of the point of his music, you can take it how it relates to you in your life. So don't bash her just because her boyfriend said its to her.
yeah i know it was but it doesn't mean it cant relate to what ever you want to relate it to. Take 97 for example if allot of people didn't know any better they would mistake it for a love song and, Skibas intention was to trick you into thinking that, but really its just a couple lines that give it away that he is on probation and cant smoke until 97. but other then a couple lines it sounds like a love song.

If you dont believe in satan and worship him your not a Satanist. in the true meaning of the word and
If you don't believe in Christ and worship him your not a christian
and if you eat fish you are not a vegetarian (this annoys me so much)
so Stop bending the meaning of words that have been around for hundreds of years to encompass your watered down beliefs people!
For the record this is a great band and who gives a fuck!
