The song was released on the 27th of October 2021. Following its release John Floreani said, on twitter, that “if you’ve ever been down to that scary place, then I dedicate this song to you. Hang in there, it doesn’t always get better, but you get better at living with it. I love you.”
[Verse 1]
Lying on my back
Choking on my ticket out of here
I wish you'd have left me there
I could've joined the 27 club that year
And I've been waiting for my death
A chance to take it on the chin
To get what I deserve
To disappear into the dirt
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you hate
That I feel this way
But I've felt it since I was a kid
Like a blanket over me
Like an old friend
[Chorus]
I never wanted from anyone
Never deserved any affection
I am nothing, a speck of dust
Why would I live when life is only loss?
A losing game who dies with the most friends
It's harder to pretend
That I meant anything
(Put me in the ground
Sell my things and snuff me out
Just like I was never here
I wish I was never here
Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Don't you say my fucking name
When I leave this wretched place
You're only spreading the disease
That's me
And I've been driving myself into the ground
Trying to make this stone bleed blood
Hoping tomorrow never comes
But it always does
[Chorus]
I never wanted from anyone
Never deserved any affection
I am nothing, a speck of dust
Why would I live when life is only loss?
A losing game who dies with the most friends
It's harder to pretend
That I meant anything
(Put me in the ground
Sell my things and snuff me out
Just like I was never here
I wish I was never here
Yeah)
[Bridge]
Put me in the ground
Sell my things and snuff me out
Just like I was never here
I wish I was never here
[Chorus]
I never wanted from anyone
Never deserved any affection
I am nothing, a speck of dust
Why would I live when life is only loss?
A losing game who dies with the most friends
It's harder to pretend
That I meant anything

27 Club is an expression of my self loathing, imposter syndrome and my disdain for being alive in general. I’ve done my best to numb those feelings by self medicating most of my adult life- not passively but as an aggressive form of self-punishment. The song centres around one particular night, some...
