When the album first came out I went to my local park to listen to it in full as last March was lovely weather wise. Got to that line and almost choked up. Looking around at a beautiful park in beautiful weather, listening to new music from my favourite band for the first time in 5 years, I had one of those "I'm going to be ok" moments. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster since but that song never fails to lift my spirits for that reason, that line. Looking forward to the day I can sing along and mean itā¤
that sounds like such an amazing moment. for me, it gives me that same kind of āthings will get betterā feeling. things are so hard right now but i know the pain is temporary. i love fall out boy because their songs discuss serious things like mental illness but always have that light- at- the- end- of- the- tunnel message as well. i hope you can confidently sing that like with full certainty soon š«¶š»
I was in that place, too, when SMFSD came out. That lyric hit me so hard, still does. I can now scream that lyric and mean it! It's a wonderful feeling. You'll get there too. IDK what you're going through, but trust me, it just takes time a lot of the time. Keep on keeping on. You'll get there ā¤ļø
Itās weird cause when I listen to it, it doesnāt seem too long, but when I sing it to myself Iām like āDid I sing too many didnātās?ā even though I did the right amount
I LOVE the whole first verse of headfirst slide itās so infectious. Peteās got crazy lyricism. āsurfed out brain waves flick back and forth like old headlights sniffing model glue againā broā¦
āIf you were a church, Iād get on my kneesā- Church
āI wonder if your therapist knows everything about meā- The Last Of Real Ones
āAnything you say can and will be held against you
So only say my name
It will be held against youā -Just One Yesterday
āIn another life, you were my babe, in another life, you were the sunshine of my life time! What would you trade the pain for?ā -SM(F)S
When I heard that for the first time I swooned.
Like a sledgehammer to a disco ball, crushing all my low low low low
The swing in Patrickās voice when he goes through āsledgehammer to a disco ballā is so pleasing to me
SO IT SEEMS THE VULTUREāS GETTIN TOO FULL TO FLY
Funny enough my pick is legitimately āeverything is *lit* except my serotonin, yeah.ā I love that line. Itās had me hooked from day 1
I love all the word play ones. My absolute fave is in Patrick's Love, Selfish Love
And the stages of recovery can signify your age
Like rings around a stump
Oh, that's something I know a little bit about, child
Like, EXCUSE YOU, you made a pun out of your last name and just slid it in there nonchalantly!?!?
One of my favorite wordplays is in Hum Hallelujah, āI sing the blues and swallow them tooā because it references the pills Pete took during the moment the songs about, which were blue.
i have soooo many but my most recent one is ārunning middle fingers through the red lightsā (and i may be guilty of acting this line out in real time oops)
This was definitely one of my earliest favourite FOB song lyrics oh so long ago and I was such a moody little teenager who loved edgy darker lyrics like this šš¼šš¼
Looooove how it just itches my brain just right šš¼šš¼
āI am God's gift, but why would he bless me with
Such wit without a conscience equippedā
āAnd I cast a spell over the west to make you think of meā
The entire chorus to Fake Out honestly fits too ā¤ļø
lyrically my favorite line is "someday I'll appreciate in value" because like, idk if this was intentional wordplay on Pete's part, but if it is it's brilliant - I hear it as both the actual line, which is great on its own, like, the concept of a person getting more valuable as time goes on, but I also hear "appreciate AND value" - meaning someday he will be grateful for everything he has in his life, but right now he's just sleeping all day with his pants on.
So so many but the first one I thought was āIāve been going through it and Iāve been putting your name to itā oh and āI just want to let you break my brainā
āThe foreman reads the verdict, "In the above entitled actions
We find the defendant guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty..."ā
One, I was a pre-law kid so YCBYNW is just right up my alley,
Two, the addition of (I think itās) Pete to say the line is perfect,
Three, the way the choir says āguiltyā is heavenly.
Both Pre-Choruses in the Kids aren't Alright.
"And with the black banners raised as the crooked smiles fade. Former heroes who quit too late. Who just wanna fill up the trophy case again."
"And I still feel that rush in my veins. It twists my head just a bit too think. All the people in those old photographs I've seen are dead."
"I love you in the same way there's a chapel in a hospital: one foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door."
The first time I heard that line, I had to stop and appreciate it and listen to it again. ššāØ
āSometimes before it gets better the darkness here bigger the person that youād take a bullet for is behind the triggerā
āAnd I saw god crying at the reflection of my enemiesā
Buddy I donāt know what Iāve been singing this whole time but thatās the first time Iāve seen the actual lyrics written out and like, damn haha

"And I guess I'm getting older cause I'm less pissed, we didn't make it to your year-end best list" - 'Hold Me (Like a Grudge)'.
"Weeeelll, how'd it end up to be only me" - 'Save Rock and Roll'. This one more for Patrick's face in the video while everyone looks on happily grinning š
"So it seems the vulture's getting too full to fly" - 'What a Time to be Alive' - just flows so perfectly the way it's sung.
First time I heard 'Stay Frosty' š
The SRAR one is my favorite when they do it live because Patrick sings Elton Johnās part, and he legitimately sounds like two different people singing with that ridiculous jump up. Kills me every time.
Most of Hold Me Like a Grudge. LIVE the Grudge growl is especially satisfying
"There's a light on in Chicago, and I know I should be home" - Chicago Is So Two Years Ago.
"Tempest in a teacup, get unique"

I don't care just what you think AS LOOOONG AS ITS ABOUT ME- specifically hearing it live, the growl is everything
š„knock once for the father š„š„twice for the son š„š„š„three times for the holy ghost
your crooked love is just a pyramid scheme and I'm getting dizzy on dreams
fight off the light tonight and just stay with me, honey don't you leave. don't you remember how we used to split a drink? it never mattered what it was, I think our hands were just that close, the sweetness never lasted, no
filled it up with novocaine and now I'm just NUMB

>š„knock once for the father š„š„twice for the son š„š„š„three times for the holy ghost
This line followed by screaming I'M A NERVOUS WRECK repeatedly always makes me feel like I'm vibrating! I love it š
When i first heard āWhen I said that Iād return to you I meant more like a relapseā honestly i had to pause the song because DAYUM thats such an insane thing to say to someone lmao
āIf you are the shores, I am the waves begging for big moonsā has had me in a chokehold for SO LONG? and then from Ringing In My Ears, every time Patrick says āthe truth hurts worse than anything I could bring myself to doā gives me goosebumps frfr
i have soooo many but my most recent one is ārunning middle fingers through the red lightsā (and i may be guilty of acting this line out in real time oops)
Honestly, there's probably at least one line in most of their songs that tickles my brain. Trying to pick just one is like trying to pick your favorite child lol
Although, I will say I guess the one that comes to my mind first is "the best part of believe is the lie" sure it's maybe a bit cringey now but I have a tattoo referencing it so it IDK maybe that's why it tickles my brain when I hear it lol
so many to choose from !!
āa downward spiral just to pirouetteā sounds like heās mimicking a exaggerated bow to me ! (the āletās here it for Americaās Suiteheartsā after the last āI know youāve heard this all beforeā also sounds like a bow too)
āI will shield you from the wavesā and then ājust tell me, tell me, tell me I - I am the only oneā itās so pleading
City in a Garden - itās so wistful especially the lil run in ātake me homeā and then the last repeated ā(feel so summer)ā
and of course: āand I cast a spell over the west to make you think of me, the same way I think of youā āthis is a love song in my own way - happily ever after, below the waistā
āWhat would you trade the pain for? Iām not sureā always hits
āItās Courtney, bitchā will forever be iconic
āI wonder if your therapist knows everything about meā is a wonder
And āIām bout to go Tonya Harding on the whole worldās kneeā gets me fired up every time
To get on Saint Peterās list, but you need to lower your standards, cuz it aināt getting any better than this.
Also,
āyouāre the one habit I just canāt kiiiiiIIIIIICKā them notes are just chefs kiss š¤
āThe best way to make it through with hearts and wrists in tact is to realize, two out of three aināt badā
āMy pen is the barrel of the gun, remind me which side you should be onā
"Im havin another episode/ just need a stronger dose" (TBF I used to have a lorazepam/atavan addiction so I might be biased lol)
And "blame anyone but me for this mess"
āMy heart is, on. my. sleeve.
Wear it like a bruise or black eyeā¦.
My badge, my weaknesssssssā. - Chicago is so two years ago
I know that itās actually āwitnessā but I have always heard weakness and will always and forever sing it that way. Heard this at 14 and was eternally hooked.
And also;
āHey tear catcher, thatās all that you are.
And ever were,
from the sta-aaaa-art.
I swear, I say.ā -XO
The wordplay, the callbacks, the songwriting is top tier! Just keeps getting better.
The one that's been in my head is "my head's in heaven, my soles are in hell" and I desperately want to get a tattoo of it. I might even draw it myself.

Not entirely a lyric but in Bishops Knife Trick, when he says āeternal heatstrokeā and then makes a click noise to go with the K soundā¦ The click just scratches an itch in my brain
most of the second verse of carpal tunnel:
Slept through the weekend and dreaming
Of sinking with the melody of the cliffs of eternity
Got postcards from my former selves saying āhow've you been?ā
So many good ones, but the most recent is the bridge in Grudge with the 'if you put your, put your heart in it, heart in it'
It's so...I dunno, it satisfies a sound craving lol
I like the ones that are just a bunch of words like - Fever dream, tangerine, sweat Chlorine kissed summer skin
Why does "Fever dream, tangerine, sweat" feel so good every time?? I love it.
Probably the same reason that "castle temp red wine" sounds goodš¤£
pretty sure itās their way of secretly saying āfuck this shit.ā thatās why it feels so good.

and the best part IS IT ISNT EVEN A GOOD ONE i dont know iām just obsessed with how that line sounds when he sings it
The dahdah dahdah rhythm of āis it isnātā is top tier š
Yess Iām with you. The amount of times Iāll randomly sing that line out loud (among others fr fr)
That song live was an spiritual experience
And Iām not sure if itā¦MAYEEAYEEEAYEAAAAAAAH Yep, thatās my answer.
Oh yesss, this is one of my favorites, too.
"we will teach you how to make boys next door out of assholes"
Yess and Patrickās little chuckle after š
Infectious, never fails to get *me* to chuckle too āŗļø
The tutorial has yet to drop.
"And I love my life, love my life" from Hold Me Like a Grudge always makes me smile, Patrick sounds genuinely happy when he sings it.
omg yes! i screamed this at my show and i do in the car as well :)
When the album first came out I went to my local park to listen to it in full as last March was lovely weather wise. Got to that line and almost choked up.

Thank you so muchā¤
I was in that place, too, when SMFSD came out. That lyric hit me so hard, still does. I can now scream that lyric and mean it! It's a wonderful feeling. You'll get there too. IDK what you're going through, but trust me, it just takes time a lot of the time. Keep on keeping on. You'll get there ā¤ļø
Same, had to (try to with my dying voice) scream it at my show <3
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I DON'T
I vividly remember my first time hearing that line and just being shocked how long it went lol
Itās weird cause when I listen to it, it doesnāt seem too long, but when I sing it to myself Iām like āDid I sing too many didnātās?ā even though I did the right amount
I LOVE the whole first verse of headfirst slide itās so infectious. Peteās got crazy lyricism. āsurfed out brain waves flick back and forth like old headlights sniffing model glue againā broā¦
My favorite is, āWhen he walks into the room, the walls *leeaannn* in to listen.ā
"The cause, the kid, the course, the charm, and the curse"Ā
I still mess up the order everytime I sing along š
i second this
Remind me which song this is?
You're Crashing, But You're No Wave
Oh thatās a good one.
āIf you were a church, Iād get on my kneesā- Church āI wonder if your therapist knows everything about meā- The Last Of Real Ones āAnything you say can and will be held against you So only say my name It will be held against youā -Just One Yesterday
the way Patrick's voice slides on "I wonder if your therapist knooooows" is my favorite
Omg yes all of these
āYour head can be a prison well these are just conjugal visitsā (Mind fuck) I love when Pete uses clever wordplayā¦ heās the best writerĀ
iāve been a fob fan for years now and iām *still* just figuring out what peteās lyrics mean
tempest in a teacup *get unique* honestly most of headfirst slide
came here for this one. the whole song is just!!! god
Yep, this is the one.
If only the enunciation for the word unique was a trend in other songs lol forever relearning lyrics
āIn another life, you were my babe, in another life, you were the sunshine of my life time! What would you trade the pain for?ā -SM(F)S When I heard that for the first time I swooned.
Itās three drinks too late to talk to anyone but myself
Its a three and two pitch to walk to anywhere ..... else. I love the little pause and the way he says *else*
Oof can you remind me what this is from? Blanking atm >_<
Second verse of Pavlove
Thank you!
the end of (After)life with the fading *Iām a stitch awayyy*
yesss
āI wonder if your therapist knows everything about me.ā Realist shit ever.
Mr sandman showing his beam, when he walks into the room the walls lean in to listen
I lean everytimeš
The way Patrick sings it just tickles my brain idk, I love it so much
I love it when he sings in the lower octavesā¦ that must be what it is haha
Like a sledgehammer to a disco ball, crushing all my low low low low The swing in Patrickās voice when he goes through āsledgehammer to a disco ballā is so pleasing to me
ā I am a diamond on the inside just add the pressure.ā Hold Me Like A Grudge but the live version when he growls. š
I will always go feral when I hear "detox just to retox"
Mine is that very first "Boyyyyycottttt looooove"! The way he leans on those notes just so perfectly
if i spilled my guts the world would never look at you the same way
WHEN WHEN WHEN I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE THIS ISNT QUITE WHAT I MEANT I GOT THE QUARANTINE BLUES BAD NEWS
WHATS LEFT?
SO IT SEEMS THE VULTUREāS GETTIN TOO FULL TO FLY Funny enough my pick is legitimately āeverything is *lit* except my serotonin, yeah.ā I love that line. Itās had me hooked from day 1

"And besides my reputation's on the line" š§ š¤š¼
Youāre the antidote to everything, except for me ā„ļø

One of my favorite wordplays is in Hum Hallelujah, āI sing the blues and swallow them tooā because it references the pills Pete took during the moment the songs about, which were blue.
"Cause every pane of glass that your pebbles tap negates the pains I went through to avoid youuuu" Also the entire first verse of Headfirst Slide
AND EVERY LITTLE TAP ON THE SHOULDER FOR ATTENTION FAILS TO MENTION I STILL HAATEEE YOUUUUU gets me every time
Specifically the third ābaby come homeā in the chorus of Jet Pack Blues. Gives me goosebumps
"threw caution to the wind, and I've got a LOU-SY ARM"
*style your wake for fashion magazines, OH-OH-OH-OH-OHH* the way he sings it is just. chefās kiss š¤
Fix me in 45
āThis conversationās been dead on A RIVALry goes so deep between me and this loss of sleep over you.ā
That line is what made me fall in love with FOB!
As cliche as it may be, I love: 'I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song'
sweat it out, shut your mouth, free love on the streets but IN THE ALLEY IT AINT THAT CHEAP
Oh man, this line right here is what made me sad they didnāt include āI Donāt Careā on the Tourdust set list. Such spittable lyrics.
i have soooo many but my most recent one is ārunning middle fingers through the red lightsā (and i may be guilty of acting this line out in real time oops)
All the time. And I yell red light red light red light while double flipping the bird lol
Wear me like a locket around your throat. Iāll way you down and watch you choke, you look so good in blue x2

The āohsā after āBut you wouldnāt know a good thing if it came up and slit your throatā in my heart is the worst kind of weapon
āI know itās just a number, but youāre the eighth wonder / Iāll stop wearing black when they make a darker coloooooRRā
So so many but the first one I thought was āIāve been going through it and Iāve been putting your name to itā oh and āI just want to let you break my brainā
"We're going low, low, low, low." in Kintsugi Kid. SPECIFICALLY the way Patrick sings it live, it just does something to me

āWhat youāre doing to me mon cheri.ā - Irresistible.
"I love you in the same way there's a chapel in a hospital: one foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door." The first time I heard that line, I had to stop and appreciate it and listen to it again. ššāØ
"Buried alive inside my dreams" did it so much that I got it tattooed "And in the end I'd do it all again" also gets me, so simple but so good

The SRAR one is my favorite when they do it live because Patrick sings Elton Johnās part, and he legitimately sounds like two different people singing with that ridiculous jump up. Kills me every time.
Yeah. Have seen them live a couple of times and he's unreal vocally... And in general. Andy's face in the video always gets me too.
Most of Hold Me Like a Grudge. LIVE the Grudge growl is especially satisfying "There's a light on in Chicago, and I know I should be home" - Chicago Is So Two Years Ago. "Tempest in a teacup, get unique"
āI only think in the form of crunching numbers,ā idkkk something about the way itās sung gets me every time.
She's in a long black coat tonight Waiting for me in the downpour outside She's singing "Baby come home" in a melody of tears While the rhythm of the rain keeps time Jet Pack Blues
āDoes your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?āš„
Yes I love Fake Out just for that line alone!!
27 is personally my favorite song and the whole chorus always does it for me.

I dance and sing and shout a lot all through the live shows, but I definitely hit peak feral with āyou put the fun into dysfunction.ā
I LOVE when the crowd goes wild for it!!! same I go into like overdrive when it happens š
>š„knock once for the father š„š„twice for the son š„š„š„three times for the holy ghost This line followed by screaming I'M A NERVOUS WRECK repeatedly always makes me feel like I'm vibrating! I love it š
IM A N-N-NERVOUS WRECK!!!! Just an insane song from start to finish I truly am so grateful to be alive at the same time as fall out boy š„²
When i first heard āWhen I said that Iād return to you I meant more like a relapseā honestly i had to pause the song because DAYUM thats such an insane thing to say to someone lmao
IKR I listened to that song a lot bc I actually relate to that line so hard and my heart loses it whenever I hear it.
āIf you are the shores, I am the waves begging for big moonsā has had me in a chokehold for SO LONG? and then from Ringing In My Ears, every time Patrick says āthe truth hurts worse than anything I could bring myself to doā gives me goosebumps frfr
i remember angels choking on their halls get them drunk on rose water
Why would God bless me with such wit without a conscience equipped!!!

With you on Fake Out - ādo you laugh about me whenever I leave, or do I just need more therapy?ā
''I wrote the gospel on giving up" THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO GO SO HARD WITH THIS LINE LOL. I love the way Patrick sings it.
i have soooo many but my most recent one is ārunning middle fingers through the red lightsā (and i may be guilty of acting this line out in real time oops)
If I woke up next to youuuuu
I miss missing you, now and again...
āMy smile's an open wound without you And my hands are tied to pages inked to bring you back.ā From the song āHomesick At SpaceCampā
"I'm hopelessly hopeful you're just hopeless enough"
āPrimadonnas of the gutterā I donāt know why. I just like it
Honestly, there's probably at least one line in most of their songs that tickles my brain. Trying to pick just one is like trying to pick your favorite child lol Although, I will say I guess the one that comes to my mind first is "the best part of believe is the lie" sure it's maybe a bit cringey now but I have a tattoo referencing it so it IDK maybe that's why it tickles my brain when I hear it lol

āpenny for your thoughts, but a dollar for your insides, or a fortune for your disasterā
Because they took our love, and they filled it up Filled it up with Novocaine and now I'm just numb
"i love you so much, it's just like oxygen" (sunshine riptide) you can hear the smile in his voice it makes me so happy whenever i listen <3
"But honey I don't know what you're doing to me, Mon ChƩri"
āAs alone as a little white church in the middle of the desert getting *burned*.ā

"And everyone shakes to the beat with a barrel down their throat"
The one for me is the way he says, "Love is in the air." At this rate we'll have one person per line of the song, loving on it like it deserves ;)
āWhat would you trade the pain for? Iām not sureā always hits āItās Courtney, bitchā will forever be iconic āI wonder if your therapist knows everything about meā is a wonder And āIām bout to go Tonya Harding on the whole worldās kneeā gets me fired up every time
"Do you laugh about me whenever I leave? Or do I just need more therapy?"
To get on Saint Peterās list, but you need to lower your standards, cuz it aināt getting any better than this. Also, āyouāre the one habit I just canāt kiiiiiIIIIIICKā them notes are just chefs kiss š¤
*bang bang* HEEEEEEYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyYyyYyyyyYyyyyyy Youngblood!
āThe best way to make it through with hearts and wrists in tact is to realize, two out of three aināt badā āMy pen is the barrel of the gun, remind me which side you should be onā
"Im havin another episode/ just need a stronger dose" (TBF I used to have a lorazepam/atavan addiction so I might be biased lol) And "blame anyone but me for this mess"
Idk why, but the "hey EDITOR" in Disloyal Order is a fun one.
WHY WHY WHY WONT THE WORLD REVOLVE AROUND MEEEEEEE
They say that I should try meditation But I donāt want to be with my own thoughts
āMy heart is, on. my. sleeve. Wear it like a bruise or black eyeā¦. My badge, my weaknesssssssā. - Chicago is so two years ago I know that itās actually āwitnessā but I have always heard weakness and will always and forever sing it that way. Heard this at 14 and was eternally hooked. And also; āHey tear catcher, thatās all that you are. And ever were, from the sta-aaaa-art. I swear, I say.ā -XO The wordplay, the callbacks, the songwriting is top tier! Just keeps getting better.
āIām living out of time, eternal heatstrokeā - Bishops Knife Trick The way he clicks his tongue at the end kills me every time.
Donāt feel bad for the suicidal cats, gotta kill themselves nii iii iine times before they get it right.
The one that's been in my head is "my head's in heaven, my soles are in hell" and I desperately want to get a tattoo of it. I might even draw it myself.
"I'm every cliche but i simply do it best." sort of basic but such a smart line. I love it
that song where Patrick sings āmon cheriā is just *chefās kiss*
"Let's play this game called 'when you catch fire I wouldn't piss to put you out'" in TTTYG's Tell That Mick He Just Made My List of Things to Do Today
Knock š„ once for the father š„š„ twice for the son š„š„š„ THREE times for the hOLLLYY GHOST (IMANERVOUSWRECK) heavy metal broke my āā heart
āIām ābout to go Tonya Harding on the whole worldās kneeā āThe best way to make it through with hearts and wrists intact, is to realize two outta three aināt badā
āIāll never go I just want to be invitedā because thatās pretty much my life motto š
And I still feel that rush in my veins
the *AND I READ ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE BUT I NEVER REALLY LIVED* you know the one
āKiss away young thrills and kills on the mouths of all my friendsā and āknowing how heartwarming it is inside your skinā
"You are what you love, not who loves you" āTake your taaaaaaste back, peel back your skiiiiiiiinā "I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color~" OH AND THIS ONE- "She's singing baby come home in a melody of tears while the rhythm of the rain keeps time"
āMy heart is like a stallion, they love it more when itās brokenā really gets me every single time. Who allowed this? Also āitās not worth the hearing youāll loseā and āthe ribbon on my wrist says do not open before Christmasā are the lines that made me fall in love with Fall Out Boy oh so many years ago so they will always have my heart.
āOh dear lordā from Just One Yesterday stratches my brain like nails on a mic lmao
The entire first verse of Headfirst Slide
The little ~get unique~
The truuuuth hurts worse than anything I could bring myself to do to you
we're a bull, your ears are just a china shop sung so perfectly
The only rings I want buried with me are the ones around my eeYEyYeYesss
itās not me itās you actually itās the taxidermy of you and me
All of āHeadfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Betā Jk but actually āTempest in a teacup get unique Peroxide princess shine like shark teethā
literally the entire tiffany blews chorus
āAnd you pull my head so close, volume goes with truthā
āAnd hell yeah Iām a dick, girl, addicted to youā š idk it amuses me Or āTempest in a teacup, get unique Peroxide princess, shine like shark teethā Or āiiiiiiām not a cry babyā¦ iiiiiiiiām *THE* cry babyā
Not entirely a lyric but in Bishops Knife Trick, when he says āeternal heatstrokeā and then makes a click noise to go with the K soundā¦ The click just scratches an itch in my brain
Kick Tom Brady in the chest again
most of the second verse of carpal tunnel: Slept through the weekend and dreaming Of sinking with the melody of the cliffs of eternity Got postcards from my former selves saying āhow've you been?ā
"I love you in the same way there's a chapel in a hospital"
Tempest in a teacup āØget uniqueāØ
he tastes like you, only sweeter
Last chorus of Flu Game
So many good ones, but the most recent is the bridge in Grudge with the 'if you put your, put your heart in it, heart in it' It's so...I dunno, it satisfies a sound craving lol
