ONE DAY I WILL WAKE UP FROM THE DREAM,
AND THE MEANING OF IT ALL WILL BE REVEALED TO ME.
SUDDENLY I’M 17,
DRIVING ALONE FOR THE FIRST TIME,
SMOKING CIGARETTES, THEY CAN’T KILL ME YET,
RIDING AWAY FROM THE SUNRISE,
WINDING MY WAY DOWN THE BACKROADS.
THE OLDER I GET THE LESS I KNOW,
AND I KNEW NOTHING THEN.
NOSTALGIAS NEVER QUITE AS IT SEEMS.
ROSE COLORED GLASSES ON EVERYTHING,
SPARKLE LIKE A DIAMOND RING.
I AM SO SICK OF PLAYING PRETEND,
THINKING EVERYTHING WAS BETTER BACK THEN.
IT’S HARD TO REMEMBER THE BAD PARTS,
I THOUGHT THAT I KNEW IT ALL.
I GET CAUGHT UP IN THE ROMANCE,
I GET CAUGHT UP.
THINKING YOU AND I COULD’VE BEEN,
I GET CAUGHT UP.
ONE DAY I WILL WAKE UP FROM THE DREAM,
AND THE MEANING OF IT ALL WILL BE REVEALED TO ME.

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur

viscerally affected by covid, this album has a less optimistic but more accepting message than the previous. it reaches the heart of my experience (and others'?) in a cathartic and depressing acknowledgement. it's nice to know you feel the same niq

A very unique addition to the PUP discography that brings a multitude of new sounds compared to previous works, not bad by any means, just a little different.
Go see them live, chaotic. Shmoob
