Lyrics:
I could use
A shot
Your novacaine
My soul's a fuse
Blows away your name
Then you can be the remedy
And I can be the enemy
And he can go and live as nothing
They you can be the wannabe
And I can be the remedy
And he can go to hell for all I care
Say this world is not so shallow
When you can't beg steal or borrow
Save your breath your soul is hollow
And it's all too much to swallow
Take this souvenir
They can't deny you were here
This scar always there
To medicate your fear
Then you can be the remedy
And I can be the enemy
And he can go and live as nothing
They you can be the wannabe
And I can be the remedy
And he can go to hell for all I care
Say this world is not so shallow
When you can't beg steal or borrow
Save your breath your soul is hollow
And it's all too much to swallow
Hope to god Abandon Pools comes back for the reboot of Clone High!
If the price is right !
wait! there will be a clone high reboot!?
@@dhandharum6040 yep its coming so they say, just hope they dont fuck it up too much, ghandi wont be the same or there probably:(
The singer makes different music now if im not mistaken.
@@SaInTsRoWKILLPSN and Phil lord and chris miller did the lego movies, they can still come back
Abandoned Pools is probably the most underrated band of all time
Tis The Truth.
I know bands much more underrated than this.
Says at least one person on every video of every lesser known, yet still mainstream, band ever.
@Start Here Not necessarily so, as I can easily deny that as being fact, as can any number of other people. I can also disprove it, to varying degrees. Therefore, I shall dispute such a statement.
Remove the probably :D
I cannot help but feelin so nostalgic listening this in 2024.
maybe its because i grew up listening to dad's rock music, but i have a soft spot for angsty early 2000's music like this. as like many other people, i was introduced to abandoned pools through clone high, and i love their music. its nostalgic and has a great feel to it. it also has elements of the songs that is unique to just them, like the weird noises that appear throughout. im gonna appreciate this music for a long time.
this is 2000s mall music for sure, I love it
Pure nostalgia.
Shout out to Josh Freese who was the session drummer for this album, dude is constantly amazing
the drums on this album are sublime
And what about the bass???
@@filipefaria4777 the bass is also killer
that’s Josh Freese
That drumming is insane
That’s Josh Freese
@@ThaTruth223 Awesome
[Verse 1]
I, I could use
A shot your novacaine
My soul's a fuse
Blows away your name
[Chorus]
Then you can be the remedy
And I can be the enemy
And he can go and live as nothing
Then you can be the wanna be
And I can be the remedy
And he can go to hell for all I care
[Post-Chorus]
Say this world is not so shallow
When you can't beg, steal, or borrow
Save your breath your soul is hollow
When it's all too much to swallow
[Verse 2]
Take this souvenir
They can't deny you were here
This scar always there
To medicate your fear
[Chorus]
Then you can be the remedy
And I can be the enemy
And he can go and live as nothing
Then you can be the wanna be
And I can be the remedy
And he can go to hell for all I care
[Post-Chorus]
Say this world is not so shallow
When you can't beg, steal, or borrow
Save your breath your soul is hollow
When it's all too much to swallow
[Breakdown]
The Remedy
[Chorus]
Then you can be the remedy
And I can be the enemy
And he can go and live as nothing
Then you can be the wanna be
And I can be the remedy
And he can go to hell for all I care
[Post-Chorus]
Say this world is not so shallow
When you can't beg, steal, or borrow
Save your breath your soul is hollow
And it's all too much to swallow
This song has lived rent free in my head for over a decade
This band is like the most underrated band ever, and they are fucking amazing
Why is this not on spotify ? I remember waiting for this to come out and then having a nightmare trying to find this in my small home town record store. I had to special order it, Loved this record and band.
it is on spotify?
It is on Spotify
@@someone___1240 they've only got somnambulist and sublime currency on there :/
@@v0yds maybe it's reigion locked. I listen to that album almost daily on spotify
We wanna this and the other album on Spotify. It's the better phase from this Band. It was part from my youth.
Time Traveler from the year 2846. Stuck in 2024. And this song still kicks ass.
So after a lot of relistening, I have made an INTERPRETATION of the song. This is what I believe the meaning is, so to start off, I personally think it delves into themes of internal conflict and the search for solace in a world filled with superficiality.
The opening lines, "I, I could use / A shot; your novacaine / My soul's a fuse / Blows away your name," suggest a desire for numbing or escaping from emotional pain. The mention of "novacaine" alludes to a temporary relief or anesthesia from the agony caused by a particular person or situation. The protagonist's soul feels volatile, as if ready to explode, erasing the memory of the source of their suffering.
The chorus presents a dynamic between different personas: "Then you can be the remedy / And I can be the enemy / And he can go and live as nothing/Then you can be the wannabe / And I can be the remedy." Here, there's a sense of shifting roles and perspectives. The protagonist sees themselves as both the source of healing ("remedy") and the antagonist ("enemy"), saying that the person can heal him. Meanwhile, two other characters are shown, one being a person who can be his healer, but it seems he believes they're faking it/pretending or wanting to be it("The Wannabe"). Another character is depicted as insignificant ("live as nothing"), perhaps representing an outside force or a person that is getting in the way.
The lines "Say this world is not so shallow / When you can't beg, steal, or borrow / Save your breath, your soul is hollow / And it's all too much to swallow" express disillusionment with the superficiality of the world. The inability to find genuine connection or fulfillment leads to a feeling of emptiness ("your soul is hollow") that is overwhelming ("it's all too much to swallow").
The repeated refrain of "The remedy" serves as a mantra, a reminder of the protagonist's search for resolution and relief from their inner turmoil.
Overall, I believe the song reflects on the complexities of human relationships, the struggle for authenticity in a shallow world, and the longing for healing amidst inner conflict.
god this is my favorite song by Abandoned Pools. found this song one day years ago while scrolling through my recommended, yet it still hits harder than a blunt object to the head
Amazing song from a very underrated band
Somebody revive this genre already.
I'll need some internet clout first gimme a few years
Name it
This was one of the albums I burned on some CD-Rs before I went on a road-trip from Michigan to the Carolinas to Florida to Texas to Wisconsin. I wish I could adequately translate how much it is a part of me. But I can't. And it hurts.
1:01 and on, the timbre/composition is so satisfying at this part, the deep low end and the melodic lyrics go together so well, I don't often get satisfied hearing sounds combine like that. The way it starts up is such an ear worm for me, what a great transition
The hook chorus "Say this world is not so shallow" the bass change together is perfection.
The drumming is awesome
Its a crime how unknown Abandoned Pools is, may God bless you guys! :)
But that's awesome though real ones like us get to rock out without the posers
@@aliaswizard6963they deserve way more recoginition though
Seriously though they are recognized. But I'm the type of guy I really don't care who else is listening or even who else knows. But I'm sure they are still touring and making their money here and there. If you know you know. 😎
This band is awesome. I absolutely love them. This album is a gem. Every song is a hit. So sad that they never took off, they are forever obscure. All their albums are good, but this one is unique. It has it's own sound that is not really present in the other albums. Their other stuff is good, but not like this. Still worth checking out if you want. They only have 4 albums in total so... Only 45 songs in total. Give em' a listen, doubt you'll regret it.
Have you listened to the latest album that dropped like a few months ago?
@@zacharyw213 Actually? Not really. I think I listened to the first 2 songs. I need to give it a proper listen.
@@Group-935 Haunted House is the name.
@@zacharyw213 I know. Thanks though.
2022 and just had this take me down Memory Lane. Wow. Takes me right back to my teenage years in the 00s
i first heard this song when i was 18...ive loved it ever since....brings back great memories..;D
Was it on late night with Jay Leno or conan o' brien
First heard it when I was 16. 18 now, can’t believe I was really this lucky to find it.
@@jamesmullins330i was 15
I saw the music video when I was 15 on TRL and was instantly hooked. I'm 37 now and the entire album still gives me goosebumps.
I was 13 and Clone High (or at least some of it) were on MTV
I also included them on a mixtape for my then-girlfriend @_@ (she's still spectacular)
This song is so about 2000s - i feel this vibe so hard
When it comes to finding under the radar music, there’s usually a neat little story to finding it. I found Billy Cobb before he had 1k subs because I binged too much Weezer on RUclips. I found Steriogram from the music for a elite dangerous video. I found The Rosewood Thieves from a terrible horror movie. But I don’t remember how I came across Abandoned Pools and it bugs me
I heard them when the album first came out, but forgot about them. Yesterday I was watching ER on HBO, and BOOM. Found it again :)
We have never lived in an era before where I would’ve had a chance in hell of finding this song again based on the tiny bit I remembered. So that’s one reason to be glad to be around now in these crazy times.
Hopefully the clone high reboot gets abandoned pools the attention they deserve
Oh the memories this song brings
I wish Abandoned Pools first two albums were available on spotify (in the UK), sadly they are not.
I know it ain't the same, but perhaps you can use your soul to seek it out
I need this album on Spotify 🙏🙏
This song makes me feel so bittersweet :( ...
Carbon!
ZINC!
@@Heliummm.talking about “hold steady” brev
can anyone name any bands that sound similar...this band perfectly encapsulates that early 2000s angst
These guys vanished for me. I have been looking for this exact song for 2 decades. And I found it while looking for something else.
I remember seeing them late night 2000s talk show dont remember which one ...instantly blown away beautiful song ...AND then that guitar riff hit😫
This song slaps so unbelievably hard
WE CLEANING THE POOL WITH THIS ONE🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
RAAAAAAGHHHHH🗣️🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥🦅🦅🔥🔥🦅🔥🦅🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Does anyone know of any other bands like this or a playlist that just has music with this same feel.
aberdeen city, ozma, the brobecks
@@foxclub49er thanks, I'm gonna check them out!
Some of the Garages, the blaseball fan project. Try Eyes in the Dark and In the Feedback.
Dredg
Make them Suffer
Underated af
This album's actually so good
You just don't get music like this anymore
Oh my god.
I listen to this 24/7
This is the song playing in Mark Greene’s final episode on ER when Rachel is stealing his Vicodin
How come this song didnt blow up as much as it should have?
WHY THIS SONG IS NOT IN SPOTIFY? :(
Its on there
Awsome
Good stuff
❤️
100k lets gooo 🥳🥳🤩
A guitar tab would just be awesome
I have the tabs.
I play this song on my guitar from time to time.
I've seen on some pages that they have the tabs but they don't sound like on the album, so i tried to do the tabs myself and i'm pretty sure that's how Tommy plays the song. (Written in google traductor, sorry the bad english).
my theme song fr fr
ANGSTY 2000s MUSIC lmao
Man this brings me back to 2nd grade where all I did was browse newgrounds after coming home from school.
@@ililililil8385 they were fun
Idk why but this song reminds me of shadow the hedgehog on the GameCube
This song's vibe kind of fits, so I get it.
this soundsl ike it's a super popular emo rock song but only 160k veiwsss so sad
should be at least 10s of millions....
THIS MY THEME SONG
Huh... so this is why I like Placebo.
Walruses
anyone here from ER's terrible, no good, very bad episode? 😭😭
i thought i heard weezer for a second
❤️❤️🦾❤️⭐️⭐️
I heard that this song was banned from ever airing on the radio after release. You were singing about actual hypocrisy unlike the paid stooges (Smashing Pumpkins, RATM, SOAD... etc...) I've always wondered, do you still believe in your lyrics or has something changed?
This guy wasn't the first nor the last to write about the music industry, what makes you think this song was banned for anything? It's not even saying anything in particular other than "music industry bad"
Not exactly riveting revelations here. What's your beef with those other bands though? This guy got paid just like those guys, stop trying to sound hipster and edgy.
i’m obsessed
