La Dispute - A Letter Lyrics
Everybody wants a reason for everything.
It’s so much easier with someone or something to blame.
I’ve always struggled at the root of the problem.
Has it been absence or my constant lack of defense?
I’ve never spent a lot on finding a remedy.
I guess I figured that it hurt for a reason.
I guess that’s why I’ve always turned to writing it down.
Not just in stories, but the letters in between.
And I guess that’s why it haunts the pages of everything-
to self-examine.
I think the thing is that I shut off from everything.
From friends and family and my own ambitions.
From having fun.
Self-defeating? Yeah, probably.
But I don’t know that I had total control over it.
And I’m not sure it even matters why.
Sometimes things happen and you can’t do anything.
Plus, I’m the only one who deals with it anyway.
So if everyone could do me a favor and
just put their fingers down
I’d-and keep your mouths-
Sorry. I know I seem angry.
I’m not, I…I promise. I just know I did this to me.
And I will deal with it accordingly.
And I don’t need opinions from those never a part of it.
Don’t need them pointing out my problems, they’re mine.
Don’t need reminders, I know better than anyone.
And yeah, I know, I should be finding another way.
I know that I should be out seeking a substitute.
But just forgetting never really made sense to me.
So I haven’t been.
Do I feel embarrassed about it?
I think you know the answer to that.
I think you’d probably feel a little bit embarrassed for me,
wouldn’t you?
I know I should’ve moved on ages ago, been happy already,
but it’s never been that easy for me.
Or maybe it was me that made it so hard.
I know I’ve only ever tried a handful of times
to sever this thing torturing me.
It never got me anywhere, with anyone.
No friendship or hobby, no lover’s bed worked.
But looking back I maybe never tried hard enough,
and it is my fault.
Maybe I never tried at all

La Dispute A Letter Comments
Today I learned, I'm addicted to self defeat. In many forms they haunt me, from lost parents to friendships destroyed, lack of ambition and love of my life turning into the loss of my life.
Looking back maybe I never tried at all?
This is my life
He explained myself better than i ever could
these last few lines ...
This is just my favorite song from them I just love rainy nights blasting this song screaming the lyrics on my short drive home from work
Suicide note sorted.
La Dispute seems to speak to the people who have struggled with letting go. "it's never been that easy for me" and hearing that speaks volumes. Means we're not alone.
amazing voice :)
“but just forgetting never really made sense to me”
"Sorry. I know I seem angry. I'm not. I-I promise. I just know I did this to me and I will deal with it accordingly. And I don't need opinions from those never a part of it."
But just forgetting never really made sense to me
So I haven't been
Don't know where I'm going, don't know where I'm heading all I know is one thing and that's I need you
Sesh. Great song by La Dispute
This song seems to slow everything down and make me have a temporary sense of something that I can't express with words..
Ile say it again I've said it before la dispute killz me Everytime
I relate to this song so freaking much.
bones anyone?
.sesh.

Anybody feel like an object instead of a person?
Angela Bunny lover and raccoon enthusiast Scofield Do you Eva feel, like a plastic bag, driftin thru da wind, wanting ta start again
Lol ur mad
This guy doesn't just scream and sing.
He speaks poetry. I'm impressed I love all the songs so far
this is one of the coolest songs ive ever heard
... & I am not the only one. Thank you!
Still, King Park remains my favorite of all
That almost goes without saying. It’s their best song.
This band is good. So much emotions.
This song is me right here.
I'm not gonna say that La Dispute kept me from killing myself, or anything like that, but it certainly helped me cope with a ton of issues that I was suppressing. It certainly saved my quality of life.
100%. Me too.
It's La Dispute, or you love them or you hate them.
(I'm totally in love with them)
i really dislike people who have never shut them self out from the social world (friends, family and others.) who thinks being shut out from the world from 1 week knows how it feels to be some one who is struggeling with soscial abillities or have given up on the social life because its to hard for them to face their friends cuz they have shut themselves in for so long that they think they have no longer friends because its been so long. it just makes it harder and harder over time because only you can help yourself out of the situation, if you already lost the will power / stopped wanting to go outside like me. because you feel like people are judging the way you live u get frustrated mad at yourself and depressed. "this describes me right now."
chanses are that u never felt this way you are just seeking attention. being shut in isnt something you do for a week, its a bad habbit that makes you feel bad about urself that makes you feel less of yourself then what you really are. and having all people pointing out your problems isnt helping it makes you feel worse then you originally did before meeting those people, we know our problems thats why we came to get help we dont need you to shove it in our faces.
So to all you bimbos out there who never actually feelt this kind of thing and still saying "this is me right now." please fuck off, its not something you can have at a time and then 1 week later go to your friends and everyone else you know like it was nothing. its something that you get and keeps growing til u have problems getting back out there.
I love this. Thank you for writing it.
Kristian Sensei beautiful;)
Kristian Sensei You've made me so fucking angry. You think someone saying they relate instantly makes them a "bimbo" like you know their fucking life? Like you know what they go through? Like you're that fucking selfish you think you're the only one who fucking matters. You're fucked in the head is what you are.
Kristian Sensei r/gatekeeping

hahahahahahaha
It took me six years to be able to feel a sense of relief inside that I am past this point of self realization that I was committing the same mistakes just to not let go of the past. Going over with it in my head like a cinema trying to find a every detail from were I went wrong. And couldn't. Let go and finally making the decision to forgive and let go. It's a life changing experience because you see this was effecting friendship, relationships, future plan's & life wasn't what I hope.
I can keep going on about it but nothing changes my decision. To just let go & part from it.
i like poon
and it is my fault... those lyrics are like perfectly describing my mood lately. :)
This song just saved my life, literally. <3
We as humans, decide if we live or die. (unless it's an accident) You can't put your hope into things "Saving your life" :)
@Jord Yes, but outside influences can help us make that decision. I think at least, as humans we're very impressionable and Amber may believe that this song helped her find what she needed to make her decision to stay alive. My opinion anyways, but the way you view it kinda gives a sense of self strength, like it was her decision to move past what was troubling her. Pretty cool :)
Some people just need to learn not to speak js if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all it is common courtesy but that is a bit much to expect from today's generation of whores and narcissistic sadistic antagonists.
I hate to say anything, but the human race has been this way since the beginning. It's just easier nowadays. Also, I don't understand why you have to label people as "whores" in this commentary. But yeah, it's understandable. People need to stop being people sometimes and keep to themselves.
Anyway, I am glad you connect with the song. La Dispute does a good job making music.
This is fucking stupid
this is the best song ive ever heard
These are the words that will remain unsaid by me.
Never has song described me as much as this song does
exactly how all i feel.
I can't stop listning to it, poetry.
Your video looks so good, great work !
@Zackery Daley Well he is talentless, I'll give you that.
he is a poet. Not a singer. Like mewithoutyou, he doesn't really sing. His passion makes up for any lack of talent.
In this case, the lead singer makes the band; I love his vocals. He isn't trying to hide the emotion through stupid note changes and screaming. And without him, there would be no originality and definitely none of these amazing lyrics.
I hate when people only like or dislike bands based entirely on the lead singer.
Murk Status!
If you like La Dispute, you should check out my friends band, Those Like Us. They have a bandcamp. Please go listen to them so I don't feel like a faggot for leaving this comment lol
I really like this song a lot. Can someone explain to me what this song means? It would really be appreciated.
DefinitelynotaSnake the way i take it its kinda like the mind of someone with depression
His voice is filled with emotion okay.
The 'cool'and 'popular' wouldn't understand that quite frankly. All the new singers sing about is sex, smoking, and how rich they are. BAnds such as La Dispute sing about trying to fit in and dealing with struggle and pain, and there are happy songs too, it isn't just about the bad. And if you still don't like his vocals then...I'm sorry suck for you, you are missing out, but you don't need to leave stupid snarky comments for us about how stupid we are.
Exactly how I feel now
This song is my story right here.
Just found this song by them. It's perfect
thanks, great to see the lyrics, love this band's honesty and passion
I hate when people say that they don't like the band just because they don't like his voice. I love his voice, it's filled with so much emotion.
It definitely is a thing. If someones voice doesn't rub you the right way your not going to want to listen. However, for me i felt a little uncomfortable with his voice initially. You need to give this band a few songs. That feeling went from uncomfortable to overwhelmingly amazing in the time of a few songs. The amount of patience people have these days is certainly to account for a lot of that. The gem that this band is, is more than worth the patience. Please Advise!!!
they are amazing
