I remember first contact
Was found in a bad way
Woke up in a forest
In a bed of branches and leaves
Confused over nothing
You don’t have to be this way
Most stay in the dark room
I’d rather be clean
The first time I felt it
We could be poor and happy
And if the first should change
I’d rather give it away
Finally a real routine
And I don’t want to ever leave
Shake all the hate away
And I can be me any day
I remember the conflict
It’s ok to push away
It’s all a part of the content
There’s not much you can erase
Finally a real routine
And I don’t want to ever leave
Shake all the hate away
And I can be me any day
And I can be you any day
Dig your feet enough to stand your ground
I can feel each one of us around
Sweet relief of leaving your hometown
Sole regret is coming to this now
Finally a real routine
And I don’t want to ever leave
Shake all the hate away
And I can be me any day
And I can be you any day
Whereas most aging pop punk bands live in an extended state of arrested development, clinging desperately to the sounds and styles that were popular when they were in their teens, Pup uses their age and experience to tackle difficult and dark topics. Pair that up with beautiful instrumentation and the pop-punk aggression, you get a fun, catchy album that's not afraid to delve in the "morbid stuff." ruriktheburr
