In Rebel Noise Mag, Josh Davis (vocals/guitar) states “This song is loosely based on a couple of friends of mine who have had very high expectations placed on themselves from various sources in their life. Sometimes, you can just tell how stressed out and flustered they’re getting because they don’t...
It's kind of weird when all your friends are getting apartments with girlfriends
And you're still working at the restaurant and sleeping on the couch
It's kinda weird to pay your rent with the money that you get from selling plasma at the center down the street
Hey, don't be so hard on yourself
You've spent your whole life trying to make your parents happy and its taken you away from being happy for yourself
You hate your goddamn job you want to march into your boss's office slam the door and tell em to fuck off
And its ok, its ok. We've all felt this way. It's ok, it's ok
Hey, don't be so hard on yourself
Cause we do what we do just to make ourselves feel alright
And we're doing fine
You've always felt so guilty drinking beers on a tuesday with your friends while other people are in bed
But wednesday is your day off and you went to see your best friend's band and sang your favorite songs with them instead
