alex g - things to do

haaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[psychoxy_moron]

"you were born inside your head and that is where you'll be when you are dead" as a maladaptive daydreamer I felt that

[TheEndofZombieShakespeare]

"you are just a boy, you are no man, and nobody you know will understand" Anyone else feel like this sums up their adult life?

[heartykay]

“Hold on tight to this time and place because everything you know will be erased.” This verse always hits me so hard because I was forced out of my childhood so fast and it hurts.

[cmjxh]

This song explains growing out of a childhood you forgot and can never go back to slowly losing the things that remind you of it. Only getting nostalgic and feeling empty while slowly forgetting it by leaving your teen years behind.

[yanille]

The whole last verse makes me think of all the times I left the city I grew up in only to fail tragically and have to move back, all my friends and family welcoming me back like nothing had ever changed. Coming to the realization that the only place I'll ever truly feel at home is in the same shithole I grew up in.

'i was asleep for days and now you're the only thing keeping me awake'

[luisolivera]

Thinking of things
To do
Yeah, only the cheapest things
Left there for you
And the only thing
I learned from you
Is that there's nothing left
To look forward to
I was asleep for days
And now you're the only thing
Keeping me awake
The calculator will make
The same mistakes
Yeah. I see it in its face

Hold on tight to this time, this place
Cause everything you know will be
erased
You were born inside your head
And that is where you'll be
When you are dead
You're just a boy
You are no man
Nobody you know will understand
You're just a boy
You are no man
Nobody you know will understand

Welcoming you back home
The only one that you have ever known
Welcoming you back home
The only one that you will ever know

[rolypolyragbear]

god this song captures the feeling of being trapped in my own head and feeling suffocated. i really hope im not the only one that feels that way, it seems stupid but its the closest thing to hell i can imagine lol

[music]

I'm still pretty young and I'm not gonna specify my age but I feel like I act older then I need to. And alex g reminds me of being a kid. Thanks alex, your music means alot to me.
(Edit) jeez I'm actually surprised at how much people relate to my comment. I hope you all get the love you deserve and everything turns out well. ❤️

[ptolemys-cas]

the "you were born inside your head, and that is where you'll be when you are dead" part hits like a semi truck. ever since i was a little kid, ive always been stuck in these complex worlds I build in my head, and half the time I can't focus on anything but them. I barely remember anything from my childhood except for these stories, and I don't know why

[jodywheeler]

Pic reminds me of walking around hungover or stoned from the night before with friends when two friends pickup sticks to stage some random dragonball anime fight thing

[Croucher]

I’ll never forget her. Perfect in every way. Hair so blonde it looked like a sunflower, eyes as blue as lake Louise, smile so bright it was almost blinding. No one can replace her no matter how hard I try to find someone else to love. It’s been 2 years and I think of her daily. She was so perfect. Even her name matched how perfect she was (Serenity). I wish I’d have never met her so I would’ve never had to go through losing her.

i have been listening to this for 5 days straight, on loop. first thing i hear when i wake up and the last thing i hear before falling asleep. holding on tight to this song.

[gracie]

This song reminds me of a bittersweet hug. Like the one you get before you leave for college. Your afraid, confused, and excited. And even with all those feelings you know you will remember that moment silently, without being mentioned, most your life. It reminds me of all the memories we hold so close to us but we never even share with the people who mad them special :). I love it

[Wallim]

The lines "You are just a boy, you are no man, and nobody you know will understand." Rlly hits hard for me. I often regress when I have a C-PTSD episode and I seem to revert back to how I would cry as a child; hugging a blanket and stuffed animal, rocking myself back and forth, hiding in the bathroom, etc. This song comforts me in a way I guess? It comforts me from my trauma, to know someone understands
Even if it isn't what the song means lol

[clove]

this song makes me feel things. anyone just miss their days in kindergarten, nothing to worry about? playing with your friends, sharing lunch? me too.

[undead.vehement.official]

If you see this comment it means im still here and fighting

[umbriel]

is that voice in the chorus supposed to be the "little voice in your head" that tells you you're not good enough?

[davesportnumberonefan]

why is it so hard to not cry while listening to this song

[mattm]

this has become my favorite song by Alex G... incredible lyricist
