| haha i'd say so ... "let's get fucked up and die" is pretty much all over that topic. not necessarily alcoholism i'd say, more of just using alcohol as a crutch. he hates that he drinks, but drinks cause life sucks sometimes. totally relatable. | |

| i think it goes further than just wanting people to like his record. it's about having felt insecure for a really long time and waking up one day and wanting to like yourself. he doesn't care if people don't like him, it's only important if he feels attractive. | |

| I think it comes off as he's sick of how things have been going so shitty for him but he doesn't want change cause he's afraid of change. he just wants things to get better and he wants to feel confident and "attractive today" on the inside if not the outside. and does anyone else see the lines in many of their songs that seem to pertain to a little bit of alcoholism or is that just me? | |

| The first time I heard this song I thought it was about when you're sick and you're just like "Ahh! I want to feel better and pretty agian." I know that's what it's like for me when I'm sick and it's no fun...Another good song from MCS | |

| yep I'd say drinking is a big part in a lot of their songs as well as anti depressents, also the 'breaking point' is a common theme, which is why I love them, because I'm at the breaking point all the time. Their songs are sarcastic, witty, painfuly honest, and upbeat. They're anthems for my every day life, and when I'm feeling like I'm going to crash, or I have, I can just break out into song and start rocking out, and I know I'm not alone, that's why I love MCS. They make me happy. I listen to this song just about every morning, something is always screwy, whether its relationships, grades, or my hair, and this just makes me smile. I always say or mouth 'I like you' when that comes on, it just makes everything seem so much better. | |
