Menzingers, The - On The Impossible Past Lyrics

When your football team looses

"Why all good things so fall apart?"

god i love this fucking song. gets me through.

Straight up banger. I fucking love this song.

i'd been addictcted to Gates for year and hadn't heard any of their other music. so i went to go see them to see that song (which they didn't play) but they have so many other good songs that now i'm a more well rounded listener lol <3 "like when we would take riiiiides in your aMERican MUScle car!" gives me life haha

Man, I still remember hearing this song go into 'Burn After Writing' for the first time. It was love at first listen.

I'm from Scotland and I'm chillin in Asbury Park, NJ with my uncle. He recommended this song- good choice!

Good Things

Is it just me or is the first bar of this song after the count-off in 7/8?

It does sound a little like that but they actually just return to the root note on the 8th beat instead so it sounds a bit mashed up. Has a cool vibe though.

thank u

I really hope this song is influenced by the quote from Marilyn Monroe.

i just remembered my profile pic is lyrics from this song. this is a banger, i swear. punk rock forever.

There are days where this song isn't long enough amd days where its just long enough.

I thought he was saying "When we would take 'roids in your American muscle car"

I've been having a horrible time
Pulling myself together
I've been closing my eyes to find
The old, familiar failures
I've been having a horrible time
Pulling myself together
I've been closing my eyes to find
Why all good things should fall apart
Why all good things should fall apart
Why all good things should fall apart
Why all good things should fall apart

I've been having a horrible time
Pulling myself together
I've been closing my eyes to find
Why all good things should fall apart
Why all good things should fall apart
Why all good things should fall apart
Why all good things should fall apart

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Like when we would take rides
In your American muscle car
I felt American for once in my life
I never felt it again
So all good things should fall apart
So all good things should fall apart
So all good things should fall apart
So all good things should fall apart

i found this band yday and now im driving 4 hours to see them in Nashville this Sunday. so faster than heroin.

LOL you're definitely dead by now.

not big into emo, but this song is well done good stuff

Michael Dockry this isn't emo buddy. this is punk rock

Michael Dockry Not emo, dude.

If this was emo, I'd be into emo. This isn't emo

Reminds me of nirvana lithium

I thought the same thing..knew it reminded me of a nirvana song, just couldn't pin point which one.

These guys have a way of writing lyrics that I find I can relate to in ways that I've never experienced in most other music. This album is beyond great. My best friend introduced me to this band, gotta say I love them.

Had a holiday in New York in 2012 that I will never forget listening to this album. And not in a fucking good way. Last one out of liberty city, burn it to the ground.

This was my favorite song four years ago, and I still have ways to relate to it now. A great song!

SO SO GOOD.

Are they from kentucky?

+sage young lmao

Philly area.

It really bugs me how people don't know who The Menzingers are. They're so good!

Right? Fucking amazing band!

They're pretty huge in the punk scene.

I used to think things like this a lot, and now I'm TRYING to just enjoy the music for myself, nothing can help others discover good music especially if their tastes differ :-)

Man, this song hit me right in the feels. Bringing back a lot of emotions. Not entirely sure if that's a good thing. Great song.

pulling myself together

Fucken love this!

When things go wrong this song starts playing on repeat

You mean when things go right

AidansVlog
yes

AidansVlog don’t give up, I won’t, so you shouldn’t either.

Bummed .
Beat . Favorite . Band .ever ..

this sounds like it could've been a nirvana song, i dig it

@NP Narwhal Hahaha

Kurt Cobain is a legend. Hands down. But comparing two different bands is unfair. Music is music it's meant to make you feel. If it achieves it,it's good fucking music. I hate comments like this. I'm only saying something because, honestly, I'm drunk. Yea Nirvana coulda nailed this song. Did they? No. Give the props move on. Btw menzingers coulda killed lithium.(all sarcasm on the last statement.)

Well Kurt nailed himself with a shotgun soo....

+Tony Hill Nirvana is the worst band ever

@EJ Paras no, it isn't.

@jcnlfd You're damn right. Haven't thought about this.

Dem stretch marks

i love you

I figured out why I like this band. When this dude screams it sounds like Jonah from Far. This is some good shit.

I've having a horrible time
Pulling myself together

cannot stop listening

For some reason, I find flaws like that on hot girls kind of endearing. If she's too perfect, she's either hiding something or fucking insane.

these guys are too awesome to not be well known!!!

music is about the heart, and if people give you shit for havin a lil extra heart then do as the punks do tell them OI FUCK OFF

Wishful thinking?

I like the stretch marks on her boobs...really brings it home.

saw them in AC 2 nights ago. holy. crap. one of my new favorites, love it guys.

Just saw these guys last sunday. AWESOME show. sound great live too

couldn't agree more haha

These guys shredded with la dispute last week at the metro.

So I would assume you would say good things are happening in your life.

Caught that one too.

Just saw 'em last night with Hot Water Music.. Awesome awesome stuff.

i fucking hate the album cover, but i love the song so much

saww them in concert last week they were so good

I saw these guys in Vancouver British Columbia a few months ago. A-M-A-Z-E-D

that's the awesomest comment ever. i feel the same way. i love adele too! who cares!

I've been having a great time...listening to this song

i love this song sooooooo muchhhh :) <3

ULTRA GAY

This reminds me of what Drive-Through and Vagrant used to sound like in the early 2000's. Good stuff.

Well can you at least move over so I can have a turn?

Don't you know, you aren't allowed to like what you like, you first must consider the opinions of everyone else! You must uphold your image!

What stupidity we put up with today. It's the 21st century MAN THE FUCK UP listen to whatever THE FUCK you wanna listen to!

favorite song on the album.

If you are saying that liking Adele is somehow not manly then dude seriously just fuck that!

saw them open for bouncing souls in ftl a while back, great show, great band

i'm so glad i saw these guys when they were touring with ADTR and Rise Against. i didnt know them then but i thought they were so good. and since that concert i've been on this bands shit. AHHHHHHH i love these fuckers

Wow... fucking dumb ass hipster, I haven't heard any new stuff from Refused or Bad Religion so I can't say anything on that but Rancid and NOFX haven't changed, Pennywise got a new singer so that's why there style is different . None these bands sold out unless the definition of selling out changed to becoming popular through hard work.

All of those bands have sold out.
I'm good.
I love this album and this band, but Epitaph can eat a fatty.
Punk isn't filling up stadiums.

He didn't say there weren't any good bands on Epitaph, he just said that everone who is bad also happens to be on Epitaph lol (that's common knowledge)

Indeed.

Epitaph has some good bands. Like Refused, Bad Religion, Rancid, Pennywise, and Propaghandi for example.

Hahaha that was fucking HILARIOUS

Why are they on Epitaph?
Everyone BAD is on Epitaph.

Against, Me! ???

I'm from SE P.A. I hope they come to Canada!

Damn this is really good. Taking Back Sunday/Dashboard Confessional hybrid << (only with much better guitars).====The shitstorm of negative comments begins.

fucking love this band <3

so glad to have discovered this band....excellent.

this record and a bottle of whiskey are all ya need to escape

Sounds like Weezer pissed off, I Love it!

No one brought me here. This is one of the best bands I've heard in years.

Meh, you could just make a douchey comment and call it a day.

Faction 41 brought me here. I love this song.

I bet your totally gay now (traditional english meaning)

lol... that's cute c:

better than sex

Reminds me of Piebald! And that's a very very very awesome thing! PHILLY WHAT!

Ive seen um many times in nepa, many of which at the metro... miss that place great band, upset i dont get to make the release =\ damn work

yeah. they're going big. Viva el Scranton!

I blame you for EVERYONE dick riding The Menzingers out of nowhere. Thanks for breaking one of my favorite secrets.lol

Found this band last week. I'm in love!

they sound really good here, ive always liked them but this is the best ive ever heard them

Such a good song !
