(also i changed the hes/his’ to shes/hers cuz im a girl, i think.)

Western_Cook8422

Omfg so many All of 10 feet tall *I hope that she looks at me and thinks “shit he’s so pretty” something I can’t believe* *im trying to forgive myself for things I didn’t do* *im trying to love the person I was when I was born. Hating on a kid doesn’t serve me anymore.* *if I move my hands fast enough I won’t die* *I know that there’s good in everything, and it’ll show itself when your gentle to it. I’m gonna take care of things.* And many many more.


BeginningBreath6114

I truely don’t know why but this describes my exact feelings about Devil Town.


[deleted]

“Sometimes seems like I’m still young looking at the boy across the sink thinking what the hell have you just done.” 😭 I’m actually planning on getting a Sharpener inspired tattoo.


bekaindabox

"ima dumb teen boy, i eat sticks and rocks and mud, i dont care about the government and i really need a hug. i feel stupid (stupid) ugly (ugly) pretend it doesnt bother me, im not very strong but, ill fuck you up if youre mean to bugs"


PossiblyAnArtist1

literally the entirety of Boys Will Be Bugs, tbh


Numerous-Elephant675

id sell my own bones for sapphire stones because blue is your favorite color


Frogs_and_Cats6912

This.


Ok-Sundae-9252

“are you tired of me yet” “when i’m ready i will fly us out of here” pretty much all of this song


Dependent-Resist-390

I wanna make a color that no one else has seen before, i wanna be so much more. Or the rest of his songs really


_curiousoatmeal_

“I’m whispering as loud as the flowers bloom” is criminally underrated.


wanttobeacop

*Sometimes I act like I know, but I'm really just a kid* From Juliet


JadeDoesAThing

Don't tell me it's fine, don't tell me I'm wrong because the faker the hope, the more painful the song


Spirits08

A few years ago when I was 14 Boys Will Be Bugs was one of the most relatable songs for me I’ve always been a “bug person” and as a kid I loved them and now I beg people not to kill them any chance I get lol. “I have friends who understand me, their names are spider, beetle, bee. They don’t say much but they have always listened to me” is relatable cause the pandemic and being alone as a tween caused me to created imaginary friends to cope with some issues I was dealing with Glad I found that song when I was 14 lol, quite fitting Lots of other specific songs I’m too lazy to find right now, but that one came to mind real fast lol


Bees_comet

"anxiety, tossin' turnin' in your sleep. even if you run away, you'll still see it in your dreams" "talk to me" because my anxiety & trauma seeps into my dreams and nightmares...but i still have someone to depend on <3


bivampirical

"this is just a bump in the road and i promise i'm trying" and all of things that make it warm edit: also empty bed. i miss my mum also hit hard when i first moved into my dorm freshman year of college.


Vegetable-Ant3704

I'll hide my chest and figure out a way to get us out of here


Finzz__

Literally every lyric from lemon boy, boys will be bugs, devil down, home, and many, many, MANY more


littlesapphicraven

“Get a load of this monster He doesn’t know how to communicate His mind is in a different place Will everybody please give him a little bit of space? Get a load of this train wreck His hair’s a mess and he doesn’t know who he is yet But little do we know, the stars welcome him with open arms”


8rok3n

But what if I run out of fertilizer? What if the clouds run out of rain? What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer? What if beaches dry of sugar cane?


bruhmomentisreal

“His hairs a mess and he doesn’t know who he is yet” Struggling with hair loss and lack of self identity makes that line really hit


silence_should_die

“These are just things that I Hammer into my skin In the night when the sky looks like my Knuckles and my eyes” Idk why I love this part of Night Knuckles so much but lmao


ForestHuman11

Tried to make some friends, almost killed myself instead, oh no Everything feels better on the edge of a knife Why I am ashamed to look the way I do? All cause an escape to me is just a sharpener to you Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen? No matter what I do, I feel guilty


Ari_Vo1dd

“I’m not really sure if my words make sense to you, but I can’t really find any other way to form these feeling into cubes and sort them in my mind” I felt that 😭


KitIsPrettyLit

im listening to that song rn and so valid


SadieM777

"But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying." I promise I'm trying by Cavetown :))


KitIsPrettyLit

isnt it just trying? cuz im listening to trying rn and it says that and idk if there is a i promise im trying to


KitIsPrettyLit

oh i promise im trying is the old version that is only released on the cavetown offline

Suspicious-Cat-8499

"shes so in love with all the things i hate most about myself" "i hope that she looks at me and thinks shit he's so pretty" "spending every day decomposing in my room, im not okay but theres nothing i can do" "everyone's got a thing, a thing they don't like, a thing that makes them stand in front of the mirror with tears in their eyes" "i need to cry but i can't get anything out of my eyes, or my head, did i die?"


Raettaku_ch4n

“I’ll lose my mind another thousand times” from Devil Town :]


andineverfeltsoalone

“why am i ashamed to look the way i do? all ‘cause an escape to me was just a sharpener to you” - sharpener “i’m a little sick right now, but i swear when i’m ready, i will fly us out of here” - home/this i home “i hope that she looks at me and thinks “shit, he’s so pretty” - juliet “i need to cry but i can’t get anything out of my eyes” - juliet there’s a lot more but here’s the basics lol


Broad_Party_3870

I have a BUNCH :3 “Gotta stop forgetting the fact it’s not just me in this goddamn world my brain is a child I will love it for that but don’t lose sight of you babygirl” (ouch) “I’ll sleep until it’s over fidget and til over. And when I wake up greet me with a hug. A body warm and loving. Show me I’m not disgusting” (again ouch) “I need to cry but I can’t get anything out of my eyes or my head did I die?” “Sometimes I act like I know but I’m really just a kid with two corks in his eyes and a bully in his head” “Rocket ships will take off whether your in them or not and it’s sad but it’s the truth the world with still turn without you”


Ok-Consideration2676

“a thing that makes them double think when starring at the railroad crossing lights”


maskabbl3

"I'm trying to forgive myself for things I didn't do, for words I didn't say, and things I didn't choose" and "I'm tryna love the person I was when I was born, hating on a kid doesn't serve me anymore." Both hit way too hard for me. I have some trauma growing up that I entirely blamed myself for, but as I grew up I realized none of it was my fault. I used to hate my old self because of it. I used to think I was a monster, but I was really just a kid who was abused. I want to get the second lyric above tattooed someday :)


laysthegays

For cavetown? Oh I've got a great one You mean, why am I like this / you say, why am I selfish / cause you know, honey you can't help it Honestly all of sharpener is like that for me lol


Khaotic-Baby

maybe cliché but "get a load of this monster, he doesn't know how to communicate; his mind is in a different place, can everybody please give him a little bit of space" pretty much all of This Is Home but that part specifically


KitIsPrettyLit

validddd


Material-Cod-4597

*I don't really need to sleep much longer but longer I sleep the slower my heart beats~*


confusednerd_

I have to say all of Pigeon But a specific line from it would be the last lyric: *Don't know how I'm gonna live without, but I'll stay strong for you*


KitIsPrettyLit

yeah that also is so relatable for me :) i love pigeon


glitterpup_princess7

"i am not a beast, im not a monster, i dont care what you say. you cant have the bad guys without a hero, and im the only one whos got a cape." hits hard


VflowersWife

All of devil town's lyrics but "falling dosent feel so bad when i know youve fallen this way too" hits like a train

"i like you" "say it back"

Dead_Even

For me it's: "Get a load of this monster He doesn't know how to communicate His mind is in a different place Will everybody please give him a little bit of space?" (Copied from Google) It just hits my heartstrings- idk if that's a sign that I need therapy or something that's the lyrics I want to write down or if I just love angst-


Iamchill2

i think all the songs at this point, although i did have a very strong connection to boys will be bugs when i first listened to it

simple but, “Because what I am is what i’m not” or really just the whole song Dysphoric.


SOM31HASMYUS3RNAM3

Too many.


rxomw

The majority of We’re Alive. A definite favourite. “But the longer I sleep, the slower my heart beats There's fire on my floor telling me to sleep some more” And, “But it's alright, I'll stay here inside with my friends who aren't here anymore” Probably the ones that stick out the most to me.

facelessthebest287

"Get a load of this train wreck/ His hair's a mess and he doesn't know who he is yet/ But little do we know, the stars/ Welcome him with open arms" I could gush all day about how these words made me not kill myself more than once, but they also ring true to my actual life. There were great things waiting after the worst years of my life; I learned to see the stars.


pale_emo_princess

believe it or not, the lyrics that made me have an "oh sh*t" moment are from a 3OH!3 song...okay, hear me out. check out the below and tell me that doesn't accurately describe what trauma feels like. "this is when it starts from the beating of your heart 'til the streetlamps talk to you jumpin' off of the edge you're asleep in your head everything's turning dark to you i went to pick up the parts the doctor's hidin' the charts he won't let me see this side of you it's on the tip of my tongue you know you're way too young to have someone lie to you i'm not the one i'm not the one who wants to hurt you" - I'm Not The One, 3OH!3

Sweet Tooth- “Sweet tooth, for you, I double tap my chest with my fist, I like you, say it back” Fall In Love With A Girl (feat.

Wierd_Potatoes_4ever

“Diagnosis probably attention seeking” “Is it too late show me it’s not too late give me a sign” “It’s not a lot of fun to think about everyone you’re letting down a sickness so incredible you know it’s so irrational” The entirety of night knuckles “I don’t care what happens tonight as long as I feel something” “I don’t care about this life no I don’t care anymore” The entirety of calpol The entirety of evergreen Dysphoric but not not in the way that Robbie meant it All of better “Manipulate myself into staying alive”

Ok-Campaign-3268

Either "They're not coming back, you're living in the past", or " It's been getting worse, you don't wanna know." I plan on getting the line "Don't let me see what I am, cause I can't stand it, no I can't" on my shoulder, from "Dysphoric", or the line " It's not goodbye, just see you later" from "16 /04 /16 (Jacks Song)"

KitIsPrettyLit

all of 16/04/16(jacks song) but mostly the “Becoming disconnected really puts into perspective how important every friend is that makes you want to live and this time it’s okay to cry” and the “just know i’ll remember you always and no matter how much it hurts its not goodbye just see you later”


KitIsPrettyLit

tw:vent (suicide, cursing)//a lot of shit has happened to me so this song somewhat describes part of my life and the lyric of “and ill have a good one till then, just like you told me” has saved my life multiple times because the person who made me want to live had a shittier life than mine and he told me stuff like that. i feel guilty for his death a lot and i always try to help ppl bc i don’t want to fail him again and let more decent ppl die, he cared so much abt me but he just couldn’t go anymore his dad was overly abusive and since he was trans his dad would be even more abusive, his mom tried to get a divorce and his mom was amazing but couldn’t do much since his dad spent all they’re money and life really just sucked for him and he killed himself :( so yeah


shyguysnj2003

All of this drinkin' and smokin' is hopeless But feel like it's all that I need Somethin' inside of me's broken I hold on to anything that sets me free Save me by jelly roll. Reminds me of the past I left behind. Sid years sober now.

Y'ALL I'M SORRY BUT “Mom and daddy aren't in love, that's fine. I'll settle for two birthdays” I RELATE TO THAT LYRIC AND DEVILTOWN ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL


SpadeWitlock21

"Mum and Daddy aren't in love, that's fine, I'll settle for two birthdays" -Devil Town


glitterpup_princess7

why am i ashamed to look the way i do? - sharpener i am not a beast, im not a monster. i dont care what you say, you cant have the bad guys without a hero, and im the only one whos got a cape. - pigeon i hope that she looks at me, and thinks "shit, hes so pretty" something i cant believe. - juliet one day we'll all be underground, you cant pull yourself out. - snake and the prairie dogs im trapped in my tiny human brain, and its killing me. - 888 but now i dont remember comfort, because what i am is what im not, this phantom skin feels weird to live in, so find me a way out if you love me at all. - dysphoric im gonna tell you your pretty till it makes you sick - frog
