    I thought it was “I take up meditation”

    It’s definitely I take up meditation. I’m deaf.

    Of course this only clicks for me the day their show here sells out. Excited to spin this all spring regardless.

    His delivery is great throughout the whole album. I still love “Your little games are getting old, your little songs are getting way too literal. How about some goddamn subtlety for a change?”

    That line is so The Hold Steady it’s basically Craig Finn delivering it.

    Well guess what, I never had one.

    This is the best delivered PUP lyric, for me it's not close.

    “A picture of my kid, yeah he’s smiling it’s the first day of school” wrecks me every time

    Being a father myself - that whole song wrecks me.

    Followed by “I found the gun it was buried beneath piles of clothes” is another perfectly delivered line. Love the way he sings “PILES OF CLOTHES”

    I’m not sure I understand the full narrative of the song though! Any takes?

    He’s said it was inspired by a random person’s house they stayed in one time on tour. The house was a shithole and they didn’t really feel safe, saw signs of drug use, etc. Then as they were leaving they saw a picture of the guy’s kid on the refrigerator and they just felt really bad. So I take the whole song to be about living in poverty and being desperate for a way out.

    Favorite deliveries:

    “...but every line, every god damn syllable”

    “Doing 180 on the Don Valley Parkway”

    “Don’t quit your day job, well guess what, I never had one”

    “But you know me I’ve always been a little masochistic”

    “I hope the world explodes/ I hope that we all die/ we can watch the highlights in Hell/ I hope they’re televised”

    “And a picture of my kid, yea he’s smiling, it’s the first day of school”

    “Are you real or fake?/ Do you prefer Ashley or Mary Kate?”


    PUP is great at planting hooks in the verses.

    “So I spent a long time down in the basement instead of rolling with the riffraff” is another great one. These guys are the best.

    That whole song is so fucking good. Totally nails the feeling I’ve had being a part of this scene over the past decade.
