The Front Bottoms | Talon Of The Hawk
LYRICS (scroll down)

This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames of my friends bodies.
When the flood water 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.
It's no big surprise you turned out this way.
When they close their eyes and prayed you would change
And 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 fucking way"

I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage.
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 her eyes, The look on your face.
I will not be late.

I'm sure we could find something for you to do on stage.
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 finding blame
That is the 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.

This makes me think of my best friend, she was taken away by CPS when we were teens. Her dad died, her mom did drugs, her grandparents refused to help. We were best friends since we were babies. I haven't seen her in 10 years now.. The part about praying she would change and sending her away really hits me hard.

"Its no big surprise you turned out this way when they closed their eyes and prayed you would change" That part always gets me
Edit, 6 years later: man cheers to this song and 14 year old me making a dumb comment not meaning to start a whole argument about it. At the end of the day we are all listening to the same man scream out of tune about his exes.

well i’m straight, but my best friend since kinder came out when we were in our junior year of hs. i showed him this song since i listen to indie punk and all, and this song popped up in the recommended, and it’s his favorite song now. his parents weren’t accepting but i was and so were our friends. he came to the conclusion that we really cared and his parents didn’t, so our validation was enough. he’s married to his high school bf/sweetheart (they dated since freshman year, i was clueless to this) and have a beautiful son they adopted. we are 23 and still the best of friends. im a proud “uncle” to a bright and outgoing kiddo. i love ya James!

"I wanna contribute to the chaos;I don't wanna watch and then complain"
Guess who finally decided on their senior quote?

In January 2022 I lost my friend under weird circumstances, we’re still unsure if it was a suicide or accident. He was all over the news in the UK. I have fond memories of listening to this song together, and I find the lyrics really relatable. My friend was autistic and struggled to cope with day to day life. We did everything we could to bring him home. A couple days ago, I got a tattoo that says “contribute to the chaos” in his honour. I love you huw, this song will always be our song.

“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 fucking way.”

I love how this song has a different meaning for everyone, but we all get that one indescribable feeling from it.

I have never heard a song by this band before, but I naturally gravitate to the pure amount of soul put into this song. I am so looking into these dudes.

"with tears in my eyes i begged you to stay, you said hey man i love you but no fucking way" hits so hard. my best friend who helped a shit ton with my social anxiety, its gotten worse over the years but they had to move away from their moms and moved in with their dad in a different country. now that i'm older i understand and know its better over there but i remember i begged them to stay one time when they were visiting and just wow. those lyrics cut DEEP
