Of Mice & Men - Contagious Lyrics






Sticks and stones from a strangers throw,
Have never much affected me,
But words from those,
Supposedly who matter most,
Are nothing but poisoning.

You cut me down,
Drag me out,
Down and out to your level,
I'll never find myself stooping down to this.

(It feels like it's)
Taking a part of me,
From the inside.
(It takes the best parts of me)
And I don't know why,
I'm here anyway,
But it feels like,
Falling to my face,
Adhering to every part of me.

My pessimistic attitude is contagious,
With friends like these who needs enemies?

You cut me down,
Call me out,
Take your opportunity,
Just to scrutinize every single word that I say.

(It feels like it's)
Taking apart of me,
From the inside.
(It takes the best parts of me)
And I don't know why,
I'm here anyway,
But it feels like…

Falling!!
To my face, face, face…

And I know all about this place,
I'd say it was a part of me,
Take this mind and make me clean…

PLEASE!

Please push me cause I'm close to the edge!
Finally I won't lose my head!

(It feels like it's)
Taking a part of me,
From the inside.
(You take the best parts of me)
Now that I'm finding why,
I'm here anyway,
Makes me feel like,
Falling to my knees,
Adhering to every part of me!

  32. M.... H....

    Don't care what you haters say!! I love this song!!! along with the rest of Cold World!!!!

  33. H.... C....

    I have listened to this song on repeat for ages I like there old music and there new music bands change its still good music

  34. D.... P....

    sounds like adema kinda

  35. H.... C....

    this is the most linkin Park sounding Om&m song

  36. u.... ....

    All you scene kids who keep crying about this new ablum, go back to listening to your stand up and scream by asking alexandria and black viel brides with a hint of some bring me the horizon since the only thing that appeals to you kids is standard one note songs with some cheap screams and girly singing formula that those bands like to use. Yes I know that of mice and men finally decided to stop being generic and finally decided to use a thing called talent. Come back and listen to this when you guys have passed your little cry baby hair dyed, preppy scene phase and started listening to good music. Of mice and men isnt generic anymore, scene kids got mad that they dont follow the same formula that makes every songs sound the same, and now they need to get over it. Bands change, and this one for the better(obivously). Look at the people their tour with now, chevelle, korn, linkin park, slipknot, etc. obviously this album is better then the rest if they are on tour with bands they would never hope to dreaming of touring with if they stayed the flood. If they didn't change their sound, they would be stuck with those half assed poppy justin bieber bands. They got heavier, more aggresive, more creative and just all out better.

    I'm not hating on their old stuff or even asking alexandria. I love stand up and scream and all their other stuff. But when every band tries to copy their basic one note songs with scream, sing, scream, sing, breakdown, scream, sing layout, its just basic and boring. Those formulas attract a lot of scene kids thinking they're actually hardcore and heavy. When bands get bored of that, they get all pissy because bands finally decide to put actual effort into their music and try to creat a sound.

    u.... ....

    unrat3dR nzbz

  37. g.... ....

    I grew out of breaking Benjamin a long time ago so I don't like this...

  38. G.... L....

    love the vocals so fucking much

  39. S.... M....

    lots of old nu metal influence like "dry kill logic" .. still great!!

  40. S.... M....

    I really like this yes it's different but different can be good sometimes you don't want the same old same old especially with music

  41. T.... T....

    Do a music video for this please, this is a big one

  42. G.... D....

    2:17 such a lame breakdown

  43. C.... ....

    When I heard Of Mice And Men made some changes with the new album, I had hoped they'd go back to, or make something to compete with The Flood, before they became complete sceney weenies. Now they've devolved into something you'd hear in a fucking WWE pay per view.

  44. A.... w....

    their world tour with LP definetly affected them ( in a good way)

  45. A.... w....

    with friends like these who needs enemies
    summed out my entire friendships

  46. J.... S....

    that breakdown tho! 😍

  47. R.... P....

    this is much much better than their old stuff

  48. H.... M....

    If this sucks and you miss old Of Mice and Men check out Shayley's band Dayshell

  49. T.... a....

    there probably one of my favorite bands

  50. F.... ....

    Don't know why everyone is hating on their new album, personally it's my favorite from them so far

  51. J.... S....

    That breakdown tho😍😍

  52. M.... Y....

    awesome

  53. D.... B....

    Boring song with corny riffs, strange voice changes, and i think 15 other bands have already made a song like this. I dont want another album like the flood, but i want another album that sets them apart from all the other standard mainstream shit out there right now.

  54. T.... M....

    I guess bands getting softer is contagious

  55. A.... ....

    This is my favorite off the album by far. It has a grit and a southern-style riff that bridges into the chorus that is just to die for.

  56. D.... G....

    The reason people are bitching is because this is bad compared there old stuff, yeah bands evolve but it's not always for the best, and the overwhelming opinion is this garbage.

  57. R.... ....

    I hate the direction that of mice & men has gone But I love Nu-metal 😬

  58. S.... A....

    Yeah. I'm sticking to their old music...

  59. N.... R....

    anybody else sensing hybrid theory in this song?

  60. D.... ....

    If a band is going to change sound a bit okay that's whatever, just don't act like your first two albums don't exist when you go on tour

  61. f.... ....

    Man i just stumbled upon this song and i love it.

  62. m.... ....

    This sound almost exactly like old linkin park, just heavier screams.

  63. K.... B....

    Guilty pleasure song!

  64. V.... n....

    only music good of this album

  65. B.... P....

    this sounds a lot like three days Grace but still good tho

  66. J.... S....

    This isn't a bad a album. Its different, but I think it could have been better if they added some more tasteful rhythms here/there.

  67. T.... C....

    I am disappointed with this band i was never a huge fan of them but i liked their last album now they are ripping off Korn are they that desperate?

  68. x.... x....

    Cool Linkin park cover :)

  69. A.... ....

    Linkin Park is reincarnated!

  70. J.... ....

    This album is the love child of Tool, Korn, and Linkin Park

    J.... ....

    It's good

  71. x.... ....

    people need to stop. I didn't like this album but I saw them play it the other day and it's crazy good. way better love

  72. R.... A....

    brutal:-)!linkin park influence:-)!

  73. V.... V....

    This album is pretty terrible. They've fallen real far from S&S. Oh well, guess they couldn't be good forever.

  74. A.... K....

    This song is drum covered in my channel

  75. U.... C....

    sounds a bit like KoRn...

  76. K.... ....

    this new album needs more of those Austin's epic screams

  77. w.... ....

    this is one of the song i really like off this album some songs i think are okay unlike restoring force where i liked the whole album

  78. H.... ....

    why.....why are they korn now?

  79. V.... ....

    Alright, this song has grown on me.

  80. C.... O....

    i like the begining thats it lol with the bass

  81. x.... x....

    Defo hear Korn....

  82. E.... N....

    THIS ALBUM MAKES ME COMPLETE.

  83. T.... L....

    with fans like these who needs enemies?

  84. Z.... T....

    nice <3

  85. D.... ....

    Is this Linkin Park? Meteora 2.0?

  86. H.... D....

    i don't even listen to bands like this anymore, but even i'm sick of the fucking effect type shit in the beginnings of songs. it's some of the most unoriginal shit you could do. this blows.

  87. V.... ....

    bad album

  88. j.... p....

    I love all of mice and men songs old and new

  89. S.... ....

    Sounds a lot like Korn

  90. M.... M....

    this chorus is so good!!!

  91. A.... ....

    Comment section is fucking shit. I personally love this new album, and if you don't like it that's ok, and you know what? If you want to give your opinion even if it's a negative one go a head, BUT BE FUCKING RESPECTFULL like dude, would you stop comparing it to other bands? You know how it really sounds like? It's sound like OF MICE AND MEN. YEAH, GET OVER IT.

  92. S.... ....

    I honestly like this album and I don't know why people are hating it it might not be their best but it's still a good alum. But that's just my opinion.

  93. J.... N....

    every complaint are from little bitches who just want them to sound like they did years ago and never ever change, fucking stupid plz stfu all of you

  94. P.... V....

    Each band wants to try different styles of music. They can't always scream and scream for a long duration all their lives. They get older to and their throats might not take it any longer. So just be glad that they still make music.

  95. B.... D....

    I really like it <3

  96. N.... F....

    finally they've become a good band

  97. I.... H....

    In my most honest opinion I think Aaron's voice just doesn't go with this album. If it was all just Austins voice then it would of been sick.

  98. K.... G....

    Shut up about "not being the same" some bands do change over the years. But I don't care about it, I personally love the album. So if you don't like it shove it your ass with a sharp knife. Thank you and have a horrible day.

  99. M.... G....

    I am glad what they did, it feels like a heavier Adema (album from 2001)
