I've listened to this song like 50 times in the past 3 days. It makes me sad, but I can't stop listening to it becuase it reminds me of a guy who I'm not supposed to like.
I know no one usually reads these but please check out an original song/video a friend and I did :) we worked very hard on it. any feedback (good or bad) would be appreciated :) /watch?v=9kN76wLOFA4
When I first listened to this song, I thought "God, how can anyone relate to this?" That was a few years ago. Now, after personal experiences, this song isn't so foreign to me; I completely understand the point of view. How easy you can take advantage of someone and feel a bit stoic about what you do, yet also feel really pissed off that the person you're taking advantage of just ALLOWS it to happen so fucking easily. Or feeling guilty about the fact that you DON'T feel guily. Perfect song....
This song is brutal for some, and uncomfortably empathetic to others. There have been countless times when I knew I was taking advantage of a girl because she was infatuated with me while I didn't care, or that I was out-witting her and telling her all the things she wanted to hear. Lying is damaging and ultimately we don't want to hurt others, but sometimes it's just what happens.
Of course, girls play guys all the time as well, but it's destructive to both genders either way.
Wow! Hell yeah! Love Brand New! Been listening to a lot of Brand New, Hey You!, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Blink-182, and No Doubt...
Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaaaaaay dope. Pop/punk/rock with a real cool edge to it. plus, they have a hot chick singer too :-) ....check em out...
:'[ this song reminds me of a boy I was obsessed with. But i love the fact that in the song it reminds you that a guy acknowledges what he is doing wrong, but sometimes the girl doesn't want to accept that she is just being used.
@GiveInToMetal That is a great way to perceive this song, I had something like that happen to me where a girl loved me so much and i was only with her because i didn't want her to feel hurt, but i knew it had to end because i wasn't in love with her.
I love this song but I hate how it reminds me of the guy who first introduced me to Brand New because the lyrics totally describe how he probably felt toward me.
If you let me have my way I swear I'll tear you apart.
Hey guys, this is a bit cheeky, but my band (anderson) are trying to seek fans of truly good music, and where better than here? We aren't necessarily mainstream, which is why we are targeting people who listen to the bands that we love. Hopefully you guys could give us a minute and listen to a couple of our new Demo's? thaaaankyou! here's our myspace...myspace/andersonband you can also find us on facebook :) x
This song breaks my heart. I think it's about a guy taking advantage of a girl. He knows it's wrong, but he isn't strong enough to stop himself. Part of him is grieving that she "falls for empty word I say". Part of him wants to her see through gimmicks and gambits; but they're working. this song is fantastic. And I think part of why Jesse decides not to fluctuate his tone a whole lot in this song is because it is like this feeling of numbness he gets from being able to take what he wants. =)
@superjailwardenlover funny i just saw these exact words on sing365's lyrics for this song.. only half of what you say is from one post. and the other half is on another... way to take other people's words. people like you shouldn't get to listen to brand new...
@superjailwardenlover Well put... this song kind of makes you realize how some girls are so weak that even the guy starts to feel bad before she leaves.
@superjailwardenlover this is the best interpretation of a Brand New song I've heard, you should contact Jesse. I'm sure you've got some influential ideas say :)
@superjailwardenlover Spot on, but I don't think he feels that much remorse. It's almost like it's a game to him. (I've been him before :/) He feels bad for her, but doesn't respect her enough to care.
I haven't clue as to how this song makes me feel, but the top is sad...but understanding of how life is for everyone who's ever been hurt by any means!!!!!!!
I found this song when the lyrics were put into a fanfic I was reading. The lyrics made the story so grand! I looked up the song and fell in love with the first chord!
I remember when I first started listening to brand new I always thought he was singing "I will lie awake and like a phone fake the way I hold you" wish they would come back to ireland
Daisy was progression from the previous albums and after a few listens i got it.....then, put all their songs together and it equals the best band around, thats all i have to say on the matter :D
demi lovato is some tween disney actress/fake musician that all these fake douchebags are obviously pitching a boner for. find your own music you bottom feeding rats.
It's funny how this song is not about rape but yet I have NEVER heard of this song until I was watching rape and heard this song on an advertisement about rape, I liked it and looked it up to find out that it's by Brand New hahahaha. OMG
@YODSD Rape? No. Its about being cold and malicious. About satisfying a physical want with utter disregard for any sort of emotional concern or attachment. I can personally relate to the "Almost feel sorry for what I'm gonna do" Fake smiles are just that.
@terraflata are you kidding me? the song is about him taking advantage of a drunken woman. whatever bro thats the magic of music from brand new. it can be anything you want it to be.
@sweetestormentx Under the circumstances of getting drunk in a bar, we aren't talking about someone who is getting drugged. But rather that people are stupid or willing enough to drink themselves into a blackout (not knocked out BTW) wake up the next morning to someone and call it rape. If you wanna go out and drink until you lose control, then assume your actions, even if you dont remember taking them.
if you all can't appreciate brandnew....get a fuckin life...ur obviously too young to appeciate anything that comes ur way....either it be good music or not....u suck
@SwagProductionss i'll tell why i dont have grammar cuz im EGYPTIAN im not one of those dumb americans like u fuck face!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and by the way american its grammar not grammar IDIOT
@alvilla28 Yes she did. Although I think this song is about the consequences of said girl. And how they change you. This song to me reflects a quote. "He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man"
in this picture, I just noticed how the two on the left kinda are coping hair and dress style and the two on the right are coping hair and dress style.
Awesome song, and it is under rated. Given this album is so so so fire and everysong on it is fire. I feel like this song does not get the recognition it deserves.
I've just read 10 pages of comments on this song...and it's kind of lame that the majority of comments aren't even about this song. Who cares about how someone became a fan or what their opinion says about their taste in music? This is an amazing, realistically saddening yet- for some reason- comforting, pain ridden, insightful, ingenious creation as are many of their songs. The song (intended or not) evoke some kind of fucking meaning to anyone who isn't impervious, but vulnerable to reality.
@CristeNite Yours is still the most apposite comment here, as you point out the obvious stupidity of the arguments not only here but all over Youtube, but what you said about the song being saddening (the obvious mood they were going for) but having all of the other qualities you mentioned really speaks to me. What we should all be debating, if at all, is how the hell this song is even possible. Good points.
@CristeNite Wait wait wait... You say "Who cares about how someone became a fan or what their opinion says about their taste in music?" and then you say "This is an amazing, realistically saddening yet- for some reason- comforting, pain ridden, insightful, ingenious creation". Aren't you contradicting yourself ? It's like saying " who cares about their food tastes ?" and then you say "I like chicken" no ? Or maybe am I not reading it correctly... (english isn't my mother tonge :O)
Hmm when I posted this about 7 months ago, I had just read all these comments about Demi Lovato being the reason that some kids discovered this song as well as a bunch of others responding with comments like "Ohhh you don't deserve to be a Brand New Fan," or "Demi Lovato sucks! She's ruining Brand New blah blah blah," or whatever. I'm not a fan of her music or any of the disney musicians either, but it's stupid to degrade others based on how they discovered Brand New. Know what I mean?
Not saying I don't want Brand New to become more successful than they already are. But people who listen to the shit on the radio, will never appreciate a true artist. They only appreciate what they're told to.
This was my favorite song in high school, quite a few years ago! It is still amazing and beautifully real. Brand New is an amazing and honest band. I'm so glad they have become more successful throughout the years. They deserve it.
i'm really surprised that demi has good taste in music. no offense to her, but this song is a work of art, and it makes sense that her fans dont appreciate it because they would rather listen to her cliche disney music.
@danzzr yeah i was really surprized too.. i only follow her on twitter because she shows me good music.. and i find the meaning in the music not just listen to it becasue she likes it.. theres always gonna be music she likes that i dont like but i appreciate that she tweets it... shes shown me "bright eyes" "john mayer" "billie holiday" and "the honorary title" in my opinion people should be happy that she brings "children" to good music and not just cookie cutter music. people dont see that
damn. this song is intense. the lyrics...whoa. I am pretty sure i understand them all and what they are saying but for clarification can someone explain them alll to me and the whole meaning????? i wanna be sure
man kann genau hören wenn es am schluss schneller wird. und mittendrin hört sich es auch immer so an aber leider bleibts dann immer langsam.. ein bisschen zum einschlafen aber eig gut (;
I personally believe this song is about the intention of rape. I had a class not that long ago where we broke down this song, and if you really look into it most of the lyrics imply rape. Well, I more than believe it. I think 100% it's about rape.
Hmm I'm not sure that's what it really means, but I want to know what class allows you to break down the lyrics of good songs! haha=D Sounds like the perfect class for me!
So u take after Rob W, to state vs Maradona and Elvis, u beat Marra cuz I dont watch footy, to compare with Elvis you will loose 100%, I dont mark u because of this simple mistake, if this is here 3wks from now I will, and you will be a loser.
He takes advantage of a drunk girl, but feels like she is taking advantage of him too, purely because he still feels vunerable. sic transit gloria may have to do with this song also, maybe he feels like all girls use him, so it's okay for him to use just one drunk girl. "I almost feel sorry for what I'm gunna do" get it? He ALMOST feels sorry, meaning he feels somewhat justified. His justification being that he's been used also.
yeah its about taking complete advantage of a drunk girl... but i agree to the open view thing. a person having their own opinion is definately a good thing and different people have different ways of relating words to their lives... some songs are pretty straight forward but a good band like brand new you can have lots of views on lyrics.
Another theory that my mum got me thinking about is that its about a rape. Immediately I was like, "uhh NO" but if you listen to it and follow the lyrics it kind of makes sense. I have my own meaning to it...that's what I love about this band...all of their songs, you can relate to it in your own way...and give it your own meaning. Open to interpretation. True art.
I agree with you 100% on the 'open to interpretation'... I believe it is about rape. Me and my brother have been thinking and we both conclude that it is indeed about rape. Or in the very least, about taking advantage of someone.
Great comment by the way... Very intelligent and true. :)

@CristeNite Wait wait wait... You say "Who cares about how someone became a fan or what their opinion says about their taste in music?" and then you say "This is an amazing, realistically saddening yet- for some reason- comforting, pain ridden, insightful, ingenious creation". Aren't you contradicting yourself ? It's like saying " who cares about their food tastes ?" and then you say "I like chicken" no ? Or maybe am I not reading it correctly... (english isn't my mother tonge :O)

Hmm when I posted this about 7 months ago, I had just read all these comments about Demi Lovato being the reason that some kids discovered this song as well as a bunch of others responding with comments like "Ohhh you don't deserve to be a Brand New Fan," or "Demi Lovato sucks! She's ruining Brand New blah blah blah," or whatever. I'm not a fan of her music or any of the disney musicians either, but it's stupid to degrade others based on how they discovered Brand New. Know what I mean?

Yah fuck Demi.
Not saying I don't want Brand New to become more successful than they already are. But people who listen to the shit on the radio, will never appreciate a true artist. They only appreciate what they're told to.
Brand New is a work of art.

This was my favorite song in high school, quite a few years ago! It is still amazing and beautifully real. Brand New is an amazing and honest band. I'm so glad they have become more successful throughout the years. They deserve it.

i'm really surprised that demi has good taste in music. no offense to her, but this song is a work of art, and it makes sense that her fans dont appreciate it because they would rather listen to her cliche disney music.

@danzzr yeah i was really surprized too.. i only follow her on twitter because she shows me good music.. and i find the meaning in the music not just listen to it becasue she likes it.. theres always gonna be music she likes that i dont like but i appreciate that she tweets it... shes shown me "bright eyes" "john mayer" "billie holiday" and "the honorary title" in my opinion people should be happy that she brings "children" to good music and not just cookie cutter music. people dont see that

@JustinBeebzFan123 Demi doesn't give a shit about you or your opinion on what music she listens to.
Just listen to the bullshit you consider "music" by all the Justin Bieber's in the media.

I personally believe this song is about the intention of rape. I had a class not that long ago where we broke down this song, and if you really look into it most of the lyrics imply rape. Well, I more than believe it. I think 100% it's about rape.

He takes advantage of a drunk girl, but feels like she is taking advantage of him too, purely because he still feels vunerable. sic transit gloria may have to do with this song also, maybe he feels like all girls use him, so it's okay for him to use just one drunk girl. "I almost feel sorry for what I'm gunna do" get it? He ALMOST feels sorry, meaning he feels somewhat justified. His justification being that he's been used also.

This song is fucking epic. And even that doesn't cover it.
kssmith20 1 year ago 34
yeah its about taking complete advantage of a drunk girl... but i agree to the open view thing. a person having their own opinion is definately a good thing and different people have different ways of relating words to their lives... some songs are pretty straight forward but a good band like brand new you can have lots of views on lyrics.
kdgott0 1 year ago 5
Another theory that my mum got me thinking about is that its about a rape. Immediately I was like, "uhh NO" but if you listen to it and follow the lyrics it kind of makes sense. I have my own meaning to it...that's what I love about this band...all of their songs, you can relate to it in your own way...and give it your own meaning. Open to interpretation. True art.
martes1208 2 years ago 2
I agree with you 100% on the 'open to interpretation'... I believe it is about rape. Me and my brother have been thinking and we both conclude that it is indeed about rape. Or in the very least, about taking advantage of someone.
Great comment by the way... Very intelligent and true. :)
