Song That Annoys The Hell Out Of Me

Welcome to My Life

-- Simple Plan

Every time I hear this song, the same thoughts run through my head. Since it was just on the radio, I decided to treat you to a slice of my thinking process.

Do you ever feel like breaking down? I don't want to, but it happens.

Do you ever feel out of place? Yep.

Like somehow you just don't belong

And no one understands you? Sure. That describes recent social experiences rather well.

Do you ever wanna runaway? Doesn't everyone have the urge after disagreements with parental units?

Do you lock yourself in your room? No lock, sorry.

With the radio on turned up so loud

That no one hears you screaming? Yeah, on occasion.

No, you don't know what it's like I don't?

When nothing feels all right Again, you don't know me, don't judge. I've been there, thank you.

You don't know what it's like

To be like me Granted, I've never been you, so no I don't...

To be hurt Check.

To feel lost Check.

To be left out in the dark Check.

To be kicked when you're down Check.

To feel like you've been pushed around I haven't just felt like it, I've been.

To be on the edge of breaking down Yeah, I've been there...

And no one's there to save you Thankfully, someone was...

No, you don't know what it's like I suggest you count the checks.

Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else? That'd be great.

Are you sick of feeling so left out? Not really, I've decided hanging out with those sort of people is pointless.

Are you desperate to find something more

Before your life is over? There fucking better be more to this monstrosity.

Are you stuck inside a world you hate? Sometimes I hate it. Other times it's better.

Are you sick of everyone around? Most people.

With their big fake smiles and stupid lies

While deep inside you're bleeding AHHH! TOO MANY CLICHES IN A ROW!

No, you don't know what it's like

When nothing feels all right ORLY?

You don't know what it's like

To be like me Gee, your life sucks. In pretty much the same ways as the average teenager.

To be hurt I am not commenting on this section again.

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face Oh yes they did.

No one ever stabbed you in the back Oh yes they did.

You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay Please, dude, if you really think that, you might want to look into therapy.

Everybody always gave you what you wanted

Never had to work it was always there You've obviously never met me and my family.

You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt *mental screams of agony*

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No, you don't know what it's like (what it's like)

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No, you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life

Great. Now that you're done whining and sympathizing with every teenager in America (and dubs it their theme song), why don't you try and figure out WHY it is you feel like this?

And when did this band get classified into the punk genre? *scratches head confusedly*

  1. I can't stand their voice for one thing. The lyrics are good lyrics (some anyway) but man his voice grates on me. Your comments in red hit to the heart for certain.

  2. This is the phrase I meant that touched me.
    And no one's there to save you Thankfully, someone was...

    Sometimes I think to myself, I'm so happy I failed at exiting. I have no idea who saved me that day.
