“Montreal” is a song about a student (more than likely a college or late high school one) who encounters the struggles of depression, suicidal tendencies, and extreme apathy. In this, they encounter it during summer. While this could be a result of seasonal depression, lines suggest that the protago...
[Verse 1]
You got four for Thanksgiving
Twenty one for the Lord
I haven't counted in a while
It might be a few more
And there's seven days for spring
And maybe one more in between
And then on top of all the everything
Assuming I survive
[Pre-Chorus]
Another ninety day summer's gonna take
My fucking life
[Chorus]
And I would rather die
And let me make it clear
It's nobody's fault but I think we all know
That I won't make it to Montreal
And I would rather die
I'll jump before I'll fall
And I'm having lots of fun
But I won't make it to Montreal
[Verse 2]
I've got five pretty skirts, I've got sweaters in drawers
I've got a nice big blanket and carpeted floors
I've got lovers on lovers, friends on friends
The fucking fun just never ends
You like to talk about the future as if it's real
And when you tell me that you love me I can almost feel it
But the wires won't connect
Your blood has been rejected
[Pre-Chorus]
And it doesn't even matter if I make it through the night
Because another fucking summer's gonna take
My fucking life
[Chorus]
And I'd just rather die
It's boredom overall
And I'm having lots of fun
But I won't make it to Montreal
And I don't wanna die
But I'll jump before I'll fall
And did you really think so?
I mean no one fucking thought I'd make it to Montreal
[Verse 3]
It's not that it's a bad plan
No, the plan fucking slapped
I was so excited you don't know how bad I wanted all of it
The coffee shop, the weather, the apartment
But I don't want anything anymore
I don't know, I guess I just got bored
[Pre-Chorus]
It doesn't matter where the trolley goes this time
Because soon enough the summer's gonna take
My fucking life
[Chorus]
And I would rather die
And let me make it clear
It's nobody's fault but I think we all know
That I won't make it to Montreal
And I don't wanna die
I don't wanna get left behind
But it's better half than none
I hope to God you have some fun
[Bridge]
Go get laid in Montreal
The world's so big and I'm too small
You guys are different, you could have it all
I hope you make it to Montreal
