My favorite song, hands-down. I sometimes feel like we are in on a secret that Tommy has Abandoned Pools, but wish more people would take notice because all of these songs deserve such a wider audience. Brilliant track, great chords, wonderful songwriting.
@@cameroncarter3235 i'd say abandoned pool is pretty good. humanistic brings me back to clone high and 2003. this album is also pretty good. i agree with you. humanistic has clone high classics and good songs. they even made the theme. 10/10 for both albums
I think the song's lyrics are very straightforward in their meaning, so this interpretation should be valid. Anyway, I think it delves into themes of frustration, alienation, and a desire for recognition or validation. The repeated questioning of "What do I do to get your attention?" and "What do I do to get this through?" highlights the singer's struggle to connect with someone or to have their message understood and acknowledged. The reference to not being part of the "cool kids clique" or producing "cool fake hits" suggests a disdain for superficiality and a desire for authenticity and genuine connection. The mention of "mobs of idiots" and the encouragement to "get away from superstition" and "boogiemen" hints at a rejection of conformity and blind obedience to societal norms or authority figures. The repetition of "I'm sitting, I'm standing, I'm thinking" followed by "I'm waiting to panic" conveys a sense of internal conflict and unease, possibly stemming from the frustration of feeling unheard or misunderstood. The imagery of the head "exploding like an atom bomb" or "like a mushroom cloud" evokes a feeling of overwhelming pressure or emotional turmoil. Overall, the song seems to capture a sense of existential angst and a longing for connection and understanding in a world that can feel isolating and indifferent.
Best song from a criminally underrated album

I agree! This si my favorite song too!
@@AbandonedHub2 I agree!!!!♥
I feel like this song represents this band being criminally underated and just waiting to panic.They can't figure out how to get attention :(
i hate how criminally underrated this band is. im sick of listening to them without being able to show them to anybody. so, so underrated.
Someday ... someday they'll turn around and see what they missed.
One of the best songs. Sad that this band and some of their songs are underrated. Abandoned Pools is really fucking great!
this album and humanistic are the best. what would you say?

This is a good song to listen to while having a panic attack. I was having one the other day, put on this song and it help me get through.
Still my go-to anthem

Bro I’m the only one who thinks these are about school shootings like waiting to panic, the catalyst, armed to the teeth. Like com’n people
Bro nobody wants to think about that... We live in a shitty country 🇺🇸 that's panicking.
