This is is the story of my life. I was considered a looser, no real friends and I was tortured physicaly and mentaly most of my childhood by my peers. But after reading a lot of comments here I see that I got of real good. When I went to gimnasium I got a lot of real friends and now at the university I see that most of the people that tortured me went down in some way or another. I see it as a blessing in a way. I was that guy. But it helped me grow in to a better person.
I used to be this guy at school. When I first heard this song I cried. Now I'm considered an adult and life still sucks, and there are tons of desicions I made during my teens that I regret, but life's life. This song is really nostalgic now. Millencolin's music truly embodies melancholy. To any of the kids who feel affected by this song now, you're never alone.
As a teacher I use this song every year in my seventh grade classroom. Kids love it even though it is from when I was in school in the 90's - still appropriate, still heartbreaking!!
My friend introduced me to this genre of music and this song when we were young teens. Fell in love with it then and still love it now. He passed last year from brain cancer. This song brings back a lot of memories as it was one of his favorites that he passed on to me. miss ya buddy, rest in peace.
I dislike it when some jerks post comments like 'Emo, go and buy youself a razor blade' and stuff. This punk song is so emotional and true that I nearly cry everytime I hear it. I was teased every day in school for 7 years. I hate children because I think of them as the cruel guys who pushed me around. I panic in situations that remind me of these years. I try to act self-confident and now that I have friends I have become a pretty good liar. But it's exhausting and these guys will never know...
I remember first time I listen to this Track. And after 10 years, it could change so much. If just the right person listen to it... And let the lyrics come into her heart. If you never had a second chance, fight till you get it. Nothing happens without a reason. And never forget the people, who helped you through your dark times. They deserve it to take part of good times with you. You ever met someone who was really crazy? And you thought.. oh my god whats wrong with him/her? Well.. Those people mostly know exactly what the do, to protect the important things in life. They know what love is.
Whoever cry to this song is a loner, shy person, scapegoat, never had a date, have no (or few) friend, or outcasted. This song really explain my school life, being a person who like punk music is considered have a same level as homeless and lunatic person in my country. At the end, maturity hit me, there is no point on regret the past, there is no point on bring the feeling of hate toward people that hurt you in the past, now i forgive myself and i forgive them and i never been so happy in my life. Not all this song are true for me, i actually went to school prom but not with someone, it's because i used to be in a band that perform in prom, if i were not in a band i would probably never went to prom, i didn't enjoy it tho.
I cried to this song so much that's how it means so much to me I was always that loner quiet person didn't really talk much I pretty much did my own thing and I didn't really fit in and I I was kinda shy in high school it sucked a lot especially when you're dealing with depression and loneliness.
Great story. I never fit in during high school either... absolutely despised the toxic, unthinking worship of sport that stunk up the place. The year I finished barely anyone graduated which I look upon with great embarrassment. Wouldn't miss that shithole if it burnt to the ground
Bullies need to back off. My 'group' and I constantly take in lonely people, who later become our best friends. We constantly stick up for those being bullied, and guess what? We're bullied. We just don't give a care. This is to you Jon, I know you don't have a lot of friends, but I'll always be here for you, stay strong, and don't give up.
i first heard this song when i was about 13 years old and never really listened to the lyrics (english is my second language) and now that i have found it again i'm kinda surprised how well it fit with my teenage years. i loved this song so much without realising it hit so close to home.
this song brings back so many memories growing up , lost two good friends who fought depression, one OD an the other took his life this past Dec . I miss you my brothers. till we meet again rest easy Delano & Markus
Never say never. My father met one of my worst bullies from Jr. High last year. He had developed a drug addiction and suffered several overdoses, and was in a wheelchair. He told my father to apoligize to me, for everything. If I met him again personally, I would forgive him.
millencolin lyrics re the best!!!, this song is great, when i was in high school i used to talk with the lonely guys, bring them some friendship, skate and punk!! thats all they need, really ;)
Im very different now. Im very introverted and are hard working. But I'll always remember the days where this was my favourite band, and i lived life to the fullest and did everything on a whim. Skater for life
same as me, but I still live like this and im 20 yrs old today. lol, 0 friends, trying to survive... but the truth is world might be less dangerous than inside in your own room, alone...
And yes, i was "saved" througth music. I found both faith in myself, and strength to face my inner demons with the help of choice music. And this track, is one of thoose, who's lyrics helped me along to bigger and better things in life, no matter what jocks and prejudice people said to my face. Find the music who "talk" to you, and let it be YOUR ligthhouse in life. There is more between the lyrics and sound that meets the eyes at first look Stay positive You are never alone
if you treat the people around you right and care about them, and you always work on yourself to be better every day, good things will sooner or later happen to you... every effort you make will pay off in the end. people who feel this song because they have been in at least a similar situation have the chance to become much stronger personalities when they are grown up than ppl who did not experienced it... always remember this and some day you will see that it is true :) never give up
@kinezd i grew up with this song I was just making it to high school when this song was released...favs of all time..this song just made me go through my entire CD collection and live concert releases....You know all you can do is use that frustration and just out do them...in my experience 90% of those people grow up to be nothings and are always envious of people with any type of individuality and independence
It's like I came on earth and people never gave me any chances , I was treated like an alien and it's still the same.. my mother always told me it gets better but you just go crazy.
I was this way mate. Things and people change. Just be yourself and love life and others the best you can. Theres always going to be people like me who understand you more than you know x
so nice!!!! Old feelings, with my homies, so great! I'de like most oldest songs from the band, but this one give me some hopes! Hopes from the creeps, but id'e like it! nice!
@lacedforever This song is more about the traditional High School outcast. The kids who are always seen alone, or with two or three friends at most. They aren't always bullied, most of the time they're just socially awkward. They usually bear it for a while, but eventually the loneliness starts getting to them, making them miserable. I like this song, though I'm not a fan of Millencolin. But hey, to each their own.
My older brother turned this song off when it played, I think it's because I was the scapegoat of the class and he didn't think I know the song even although I learnt all Millencolin songs because of him
As i recall it, some years ago there was this dude, calling himself M.I.M.S (Music Is My Saviour) And i wonder, saved him from? I think he is nowhere near "allowed" to use that title about himself, because really. If ANYONE should have been labled a M.I.M.S, it should be all of us, who found perhaps the very reason to live, in the music No matter the genre, if the music has "Spoken" to you thats all that will matter. Strength through Unity You are never alone no matter what you think.
I was riding on the school bus feeling depressed I was just put in a group for a project for school and the people there I was working with just you know forgotten about me they were too busy doing their thing they're usually nice people to me, I only like them in that class and yeah pretty much I feel hated there so I got on the bus and turn this song on feeling lonely and depressed almost getting home I nearly cried listening to this knowing how much I related to this song for not fitting in and being different...and being a loner...cant wait to leave high school one day they will all look up to and I will show them all!
thepianist126 from someone who's been there. Right now Ive just come back from 4x4ing in the canadian rocky mountains. Im looking at my beautiful girlfriend and sitting in my house with a view of cascade mountain out my window....my point being...IT GETS BETTER! A LOT BETTER!
Also, if you wanted to pick a bone with me --- This is a Swedish band. And apparently, according to your standards--- they 'fuck up' English. Personally, I don't think they fuck it up at all. In fact, they coat it with a new light. Something fresh and revitalizing. And that goes with any and every accent, dialect, what ever.
gReat song and gReat SAD lyric.. I like the lyrics of this song.. it really tells the story of a lot of boys/girls who ever felt/feel in that way .. I´m 27 and I never had that problem in school .. but sometimes I feel a bit creep when I go out at night.. I feel like if I don´t belong to that world .. anyway.. sorry for my commets.. I always like to express how I see the things :) .. and this song came to my mind Today while I was swimming , and I didn´t listen them since a lot of time ^^
@animeloverryan85 I think it was the band jamming and having fun... to be honest, I kind of like that part at the end. It sounds optimistic and gives the song a hopeful feel...

Classic album and song really hits home! 14 when I heard this album first time changed my life when I heard no cigar
Was that before or after you met Peg and (somehow) had kids with her?

+Akbar Basit what a cool story. IM gonna write that down in my cool story journal and share it with my grandkids one day in the future.
+Captain Internet cant believe i just saw people being awesome to each other on youtube

Very under-rated song, for sure. Means something to me.
Quem ta na quarentena relembrando os bons tempos, dê um like!!
This song makes me cry
Wow. Alot of inspiring comments here!
Remember: "for every dark night there is a brighter day".
+poderion Tupac quote
Yes!
Rawb I hope so
but there isnt
For the night is dark and full of terrors
i first heard this song when i was about 13 years old and never really listened to the lyrics (english is my second language) and now that i have found it again i'm kinda surprised how well it fit with my teenage years. i loved this song so much without realising it hit so close to home.
this song brings back so many memories growing up , lost two good friends who fought depression, one OD an the other took his life this past Dec . I miss you my brothers. till we meet again rest easy Delano & Markus
do not deny it. Everyone is mean to the "weird kid" but we never think of how that person is feeling. This song shows exactly how these kids feel
The world is weird now
Never say never. My father met one of my worst bullies from Jr. High last year. He had developed a drug addiction and suffered several overdoses, and was in a wheelchair. He told my father to apoligize to me, for everything. If I met him again personally, I would forgive him.
Did you met him?
No, I haven't met him again.
Such a beautiful song, gives us something to think about
Shout out from Nigeria
millencolin lyrics re the best!!!, this song is great, when i was in high school i used to talk with the lonely guys, bring them some friendship, skate and punk!! thats all they need, really ;)
this song has a place in my heart still today. seems like it was yesterday that i was listening to these guys and skateboarding in my basement.
Im very different now. Im very introverted and are hard working. But I'll always remember the days where this was my favourite band, and i lived life to the fullest and did everything on a whim. Skater for life
His moms words ring true, never give up
Never! :)

I found both faith in myself, and strength to face my inner demons with the help of choice music.
And this track, is one of thoose, who's lyrics helped me along to bigger and better things in life, no matter what jocks and prejudice people said to my face.
Find the music who "talk" to you, and let it be YOUR ligthhouse in life.
There is more between the lyrics and sound that meets the eyes at first look
Stay positive
You are never alone
Nice to know, im not the only one :)
great song....but we all know it better when we´re too old
Bought this CD my first year of college, made me feel bad for being mean in high school....still does
If you make up for it in Later life..
Do better and be "that hand " (that reaches out)..
We will forgive you your past sins..
if you treat the people around you right and care about them, and you always work on yourself to be better every day, good things will sooner or later happen to you... every effort you make will pay off in the end. people who feel this song because they have been in at least a similar situation have the chance to become much stronger personalities when they are grown up than ppl who did not experienced it... always remember this and some day you will see that it is true :) never give up
This song is very sad.. And the picture is perfect for it. Great song too
When music was beautiful melodies that touched your soul
Songs, they fill our eyes with tears and joy c:
Love this one!!!
@kinezd i grew up with this song I was just making it to high school when this song was released...favs of all time..this song just made me go through my entire CD collection and live concert releases....You know all you can do is use that frustration and just out do them...in my experience 90% of those people grow up to be nothings and are always envious of people with any type of individuality and independence
I'm glad I found this, it's a beautiful song
Susana, ese es el nombre que me viene a la cabeza...
Saw em live yesterday in Linz/Austria yesterday!
Played Pennybridge Pioneers, the whole album of course :)
they were so frikkin awesome! ;)
i was an outcast and this song is amazing... always makes me wanna cry..
I bought this album when it came out. It's the only album I don't regret spending money on.
It's like I came on earth and people never gave me any chances , I was treated like an alien and it's still the same.. my mother always told me it gets better but you just go crazy.
How is it going 4 years later?
or 6 years later?
Sometimes crazy become normal..
You Got use to the Pain
I Hope you, like me, still is with us here on earth..
one of the best song ever!!!
I feel so alone, so used, depressed, unloved, unworthy, unappreciated, abused and unwanted. This song it makes me feel so much better though.
I was this way mate. Things and people change. Just be yourself and love life and others the best you can. Theres always going to be people like me who understand you more than you know x
Love you still and allways
I'm 44th and when u that age udont care what anybody thinks of u
Bullying is a real shitty thing. Especially when some people are too ignorant to realise they are even doing it.

@thrashSJ You can not change the decisions you made in the past, but you can make decisions today that may fix somehow what you can't change.

classic high school song
Poor kid, the school-pram was the best night of my life. Sooooo many strollers

I'm not a guy, but right now so lonely that this most defenatley works right for me at the mo.... *tear*
This song reminds me of high school
My life 😢
a tear just came to my eye, but it's because im tired and laying on my bed
I´m a bird and fly to my freedoom..... love that song
Somebody put this in their top 5 saddest punk songs, I completely agree, it's pretty depressing.
Also, if you wanted to pick a bone with me ---
This is a Swedish band. And apparently, according to your standards--- they 'fuck up' English.
Personally, I don't think they fuck it up at all. In fact, they coat it with a new light. Something fresh and revitalizing. And that goes with any and every accent, dialect, what ever.
gReat song and gReat SAD lyric.. I like the lyrics of this song.. it really tells the story of a lot of boys/girls who ever felt/feel in that way .. I´m 27 and I never had that problem in school .. but sometimes I feel a bit creep when I go out at night.. I feel like if I don´t belong to that world .. anyway.. sorry for my commets.. I always like to express how I see the things :) .. and this song came to my mind Today while I was swimming , and I didn´t listen them since a lot of time ^^
I was bullied from the first grade till the seventh, they pushed me out of my school bus and I nearly had been run over. Creepy memory
Muito bom
@animeloverryan85 I think it was the band jamming and having fun... to be honest, I kind of like that part at the end. It sounds optimistic and gives the song a hopeful feel...
