its been almost ten years since I started listening to la dispute and its been a good few years since I heard them, then this just comes on in my mix with a flood of decade old memories...weird trip
I always really appreciated this song for every part. The lyrics, on their own, speak volumes. But the music and the mixing really add a whole layer. Especially where Jordan asks us to show him our bruises towards the middle and we begin to hear chains being drug, symbolizing how the things that keep us up at night are what keeps us prisoner.
This was the first song i heard by them yrs back I wrote the lyrics down folded it up and carried it with me all the time I do this whenever I find a good poem I identify with it gave me some comfort of relatability for if there ever was a time i had a loss of word to express myself id have this refer to and his other songs they gave me a voice
I'm about to go on an adventure to discover their entire discography. I found them via a Midwest playlist..I may feel bad for being so late, but better than never.
So now tell me how your story goes Have you ever suffered? If so, did you get better or have you never quite recovered from it? Did you find your lover laying in your bedroom with another and then Did you let it hover over you and everything else well after the fact? Show me all your bruises. I know everybody wears them They broadcast the pain-how you hurt, how you reacted Did cancer take your child? Did your father have a heart attack? Have you had a moment force the whole heart to grow or retract? Or just shrink? Does the heart shrink? Tell me everything Tell me everything you know Were you told as a child how cruel the whole world could be? Did anybody ever tell you that? Tell me what your purpose is? Who it was that put you here and why? Did anybody really put you here at all? And what of those necessities? Like how to cope with tragedy and pain? Did anybody ever show you how? When it hits will my heart burst or break or grow strong? Is there really only one way to know now? I’m not sure if I’m ready yet to find out the hard way How strong I am, what I’m made of I’m not sure I am ready yet to walk through the fire I’m not sure I can handle it Do you think if the heart keeps on shrinking One day there will be no heart at all? And how long does it take? Am I better off just bursting or breaking? Cause I don’t see my heart getting strong Tell your stories to me Show your bruises Let’s see what humanity is capable of handling She lost her kid, only seven, to cancer She answered with faith in her god and carried on While he was attacked by his son and was stabbed in his stomach and his back and his arms He showed me scars 82 years old, told me, “I still have my daughter and my wife And I still have my life and my son.” Tell me what your worst fears are I bet they look a lot like mine Tell me what you think about when you can’t fall asleep at night Tell me that you’re struggling Tell me that you’re scared No, tell me that you’re terrified of life Tell me that it’s difficult to not think of death sometimes Tell me how you lost Tell me how he left Tell me how she left Tell me how you lost everything that you had Tell me it ain’t ever coming back Tell me about God Tell me about love Tell me that it’s all of the above Say you think of everything in fear I bet you’re not the only one who does Everyone in the world comes at some point to suffering I wonder when I will I wonder Everyone is out searching for someone or something I wonder what I’ll find I wonder Everyone in the world comes at some point to suffering I wonder when I will I wonder Everyone is out searching for someone or something I wonder what I’ll find I wonder I wonder what I’ll find I wonder I wonder what I’ll find I wonder what I’ll find I wonder what I’ll find
this song has hit me so hard. It makes me break down.
Did you get better or have you never quite recover from it?
Haven't listened to this band in almost a year. And here I am, with my heart aching because of how good they sound. ;-;
these fucking lyrics. I am never alone.

Damien Mancini, I’m with ya! I LOVE THEM!
Same
A friend showed me them like 10 years ago haven't stopped since
You should listen to brand new
I'm about to go on an adventure to discover their entire discography. I found them via a Midwest playlist..I may feel bad for being so late, but better than never.
love this group ♡
So now tell me how your story goes
Have you ever suffered?
If so, did you get better or have you never quite recovered from it?
Did you find your lover laying in your bedroom with another and then
Did you let it hover over you and everything else well after the fact?
Show me all your bruises. I know everybody wears them
They broadcast the pain-how you hurt, how you reacted
Did cancer take your child?
Did your father have a heart attack?
Have you had a moment force the whole heart to grow or retract?
Or just shrink? Does the heart shrink?
Tell me everything
Tell me everything you know
Were you told as a child how cruel the whole world could be?
Did anybody ever tell you that?
Tell me what your purpose is?
Who it was that put you here and why?
Did anybody really put you here at all?
And what of those necessities?
Like how to cope with tragedy and pain?
Did anybody ever show you how?
When it hits will my heart burst or break or grow strong?
Is there really only one way to know now?
I’m not sure if I’m ready yet to find out the hard way
How strong I am, what I’m made of
I’m not sure I am ready yet to walk through the fire
I’m not sure I can handle it
Do you think if the heart keeps on shrinking
One day there will be no heart at all?
And how long does it take?
Am I better off just bursting or breaking?
Cause I don’t see my heart getting strong
Tell your stories to me
Show your bruises
Let’s see what humanity is capable of handling
She lost her kid, only seven, to cancer
She answered with faith in her god and carried on
While he was attacked by his son and was stabbed in his stomach and his back and his arms
He showed me scars
82 years old, told me, “I still have my daughter and my wife
And I still have my life and my son.”
Tell me what your worst fears are
I bet they look a lot like mine
Tell me what you think about when you can’t fall asleep at night
Tell me that you’re struggling
Tell me that you’re scared
No, tell me that you’re terrified of life
Tell me that it’s difficult to not think of death sometimes
Tell me how you lost
Tell me how he left
Tell me how she left
Tell me how you lost everything that you had
Tell me it ain’t ever coming back
Tell me about God
Tell me about love
Tell me that it’s all of the above
Say you think of everything in fear
I bet you’re not the only one who does
Everyone in the world comes at some point to suffering
I wonder when I will
I wonder
Everyone is out searching for someone or something
I wonder what I’ll find
I wonder
Everyone in the world comes at some point to suffering
I wonder when I will
I wonder
Everyone is out searching for someone or something
I wonder what I’ll find
I wonder
I wonder what I’ll find
I wonder
I wonder what I’ll find
I wonder what I’ll find
I wonder what I’ll find
Thank you!

Is that a tambourine that someone forgot to high cut a bit? Literally the only sound on this whole album that's even mildly irritating.
