about
This track is about nostalgia, suicidal thought processes and feelings of negativity about the current political climate, and wanted to go back, to playing video games when i was kid, where i didn't have to think about all of this.
lyrics
Pixelated Screens, big dreams and kid scene.
We played it cool until Gerard left and broke our dreams.
Pop pills and sip down on a daiquiri.
Life feels like when he saved over my game on disc 3.
FF nine, seven, six and five,
craving a smash crash to the past,
It'll be high tide let's live too fast.
In time we'll all be kicking with the fishes,
Made of plastic Potpourri.
Fuck kings, fuck him and fuck this.
It's bad luck we grew up in a place we missed.
Times got hard cause' the man raised both fists.
2.90 for a can, 20 minutes for a tan.
Cyanide's on the checklist.
ninety nine more moons to go till' we end this.
twenty six more reasons to go and I'm for it.
I've only got so much time to give, time to give.
Go back and push reset on all of this, all of this.
You can't drink gold, so don't try us.
This river only runs so far, so don't buy us out.
I've only got so much love to give, love to give.
Go back and push reset on all of this, all of this.
It's dangerous to go alone, so take this.
Let's mosey, make ourselves a home in sector 6.
I keep looking back on the times I found bliss.
Come around and smoke this.
A blonde alchemist.
Watching subs, no dubs, these anime's that I miss
Cause yeah bud, life is a bitch.
This scab is starting to itch.
These days won't ever be the same.
We've only got ourselves to blame.
We've got the power of god.
This is my hourly nod, to the queers and crossdressers.
Go light up a Molotov.
Go fuck up these corps and cops,
cause we're here to rustle feathers.
Fuck kings, fuck him and fuck this.
It's bad luck we grew up in a place we missed.
Times got hard cause' the man raised both fists.
2.90 for a can, 20 minutes for a tan.
Suicide's on the checklist.
ninety nine more moons to go till' we end this.
twenty six more reasons to go and I'm for it.
I've only got so much time to give, time to give.
Go back and push reset on all of this, all of this.
You can't drink gold, so don't try us.
This river only runs so far, so don't buy us out.
I've only got so much love to give, love to give.
Go back and push reset on all of this, all of this. x2
