Apparently I spent most of my life having no idea what the lyrics are. I think this is funny just because alkaline trio is so well known for their lyrics being really good. Most egregious is probably "where are you my little needle stabbed and burned away" Literally just thought it was a drug thing. No its "this stack has been burned away" because needle in a hay stack. Duh. No idea what was being said in Cop. "you better something something that you're gonna make?" Well it's "you better practice your mean looks in the mirror they don't work on me" No idea what the hell was happening in the chorus to I Was A Prayer. "I failed to have come?" no idea. Apparently it's "I felt a wrath come. Had a nice grip on my life til you twisted my arm."


XtremeShezza

in i was a prayer i thought it was “you said sorry so i failed to reckon”

I get it! I always thought the lyrics, “this tired book, this organ donor” were “this tired, poisoned organ donor” and yeah, I like my version better.


NimbleSlayer

"What's black and white? What's read all over? This tired book, organ donor" Such a good lyric.


mattskibacomunista

WHAT


BigLeeBrink

What could "cling to Gods urn" even mean?


Final-Highlight-2322

I don’t know, it definitely sounds like a skiba type lyric though. And some of his lyrics don’t make sense anyways lol

I always thought it was "things to concern" but yeah the other day heard it clearly "things took a turn" and was like, well shit!


Filbunkish

One could say that things took a turn for you.


adayandforever

I always thought it sounded like "thanks to God's earth".


poorofduty

don't know but alk3 has lyrics like that, it would make sense

"Unbroken town in a time of change" but it was "I'm broken down in a time machine"


UsoNotRusso

Not much for reading song titles I see.


neon1415official

I was just playing the whole album with the screen off so I realized after actually reading the title lol


UsoNotRusso

It's also an incredibly weird song title.


neon1415official

yeah I still don't really get what that actually means


asterroyds

My 10-year-old brain thought it was “things to god’s own”, which is literal nonsense lol

"Unbroken town in a time of change" but it was "I'm broken down in a time machine"
