In Tribeca Manhattan I saw a band called 'Star People' August 1998 that played this song, so i had to buy their cd. Was a nice act, bit theatrical, a cult band from Space. The world was so innocent pre 911.
This last little swig of a beatbox goes out to you. To the people bitten by snakes, to the friends and all the sleepless nights. For all those who escaped with tears in their own eyes. I wish none of you are cursed to sleep on a twin size mattress. And may your dreams have dreams.

I'm old now and my adult son turned me on to this video. ❤ I love him with all my heart and if anyone is reading this and hates what their parents did to them, I'm sorry it happened. 😢 I was a shit parent too. But I was also trying hard to be a good parent. My kids say I did good things to, but man I get hung up on all my regrets. Just couldn't overcome my own trauma and my own parental bullshit. Hang in there. Life is worth it and it does get better. Or at least more tolerable, if you work on it. I'm grateful my kids don't hate my guts. They could and would be totally justified in cutting me out of their life. They are more like Jesus than the Jesus I force fed them as kids. Again. Hang in there. In the end, all that matters is the people you love and who love you back. That's the true meaning of family. So whether you have a loving family or have to create one, reach out to someone or something you love and let them love you back. ❤
im so thankful for this song ive never rlly been able to put my experiences and my feelings abt the things i went through into words but this song damn it did it this has been one of the worst years of my life i finally got myself to leave a rlly rlly bad situation and all i can rmeber is the lies i told to help myself feel sane i love the front bottoms dude they helped me understand what i was feeling a bit more thank yall
“Consequences for the stupid things I’d say” hit hard after my parents found out about the sh because they read my texts Edit: Damn these comments are depressing-
this is for the lions living in the wiry broke-down frames of my friends' bodies, when the floodwater comes it ain't gonna be clear it's gonna look like mud, but I will help you swim, I will help you swim, I'm gonna help you swim, this is for the snakes and the people they bite for the friends I've made, for the sleepless nights for the warning signs I've completely ignored there's an amount to take, reasons to take more there's no big surprise you turned out this way when they closed their eyes and prayed you would change when they cut your hair and sent you away you stopped by my house the night you escaped with tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay you said "hey man i love you, but no fuckin' way" I'm sure that we could find something for you to do onstage maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing you sing harmonies this is for the lake that me and my friends swim in naked and dumb on a drunken night and it should've felt good but I can hear the Jaws theme song on repeat in the back of my mind make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face there are lessons to be learned consequences for all the stupid things I say and it is no big surprise you turned out this way the spark in your eyes, the look on your face I will not be brave I'm sure that we could find something for you to do onstage maybe shake a tambourine or when I sing you sing harmonies I wanna contribute to the chaos I don't wanna watch and then complain 'cause I am through with finding blame that is a decision that I have made she hopes I'm cursed forever to sleep on a twin-sized mattress in somebody's attic or basement my whole life never graduating, up in size to add another and my nightmares will have nightmares every night oh, every night, every night
"its no big suprise you turned ou this way" hits so hard because in the soon to be 14 years ive lived have had really bad parts like getting SA and bullied to going into the mental hosptial when i tell people they look at me like they wanna say that i just want someone to hug me and hold me tell me they love me and just say "you had it hard i wish i could go through what you went through to help you more" (update) i found her she is the pastors daughter she holds me and its not the black cat golden retriaver friendship we are both so close this church feels like a family and honestly i love her so much shes the best friend i could ever ask for i love you NMB
This song really makes me think about the closest group of friends I've ever had. I did shit with them for three years, we hung out almost every day. They were there when I was unhealthy asf and they were there when I got out of a bad situation. But I ended up having to cut them off because they changed a lot over time and were abusive and toxic. I still get nightmares about cutting them off.
My aunt used to listen to this song and my aunt is like one of my favorite people in the world. And I didn't know the name of the song until about a week ago, but this song has been stuck in my head for years. And has so many meanings to me and so many reasons it has a place in my heart. Its an amazing song. Thanks for being a staple of my childhood, Front Bottoms.
Hey stranger, Ik that we don’t know each other, and it may mean very little coming from me, but i just wanted you to know you’re so so so loved and so important 🫶
This song reminds me of me and my first friend when I moved. His name is Adrian but he past away from killing himself and I can’t stop thinking about him and now I see how much how I love him as if we were in a relationship I want him back.💔
