Rosenstock, Jeff - Nausea Lyrics

Fucking Insane video

"I got so tired of discussing my future that I walk through my life like I'm the only one with evenings of silence and mornings of nausea. Shake and sweat and I can't throw up." This is such a beautiful line.

THE FUTURE -KAATIE

Jeff is my Kurt Cobain, minus the death. Don't die Jeff!

Been listening to this song for a few years now. It is a bop for sure. Then you listen deeper. If you have addiction issues, it hit so deep. I can listen to this song in all moods and it works. I have definitely cried a lot to this song

Lmao yeet

Lotta joke replies here, but real-talk: this song captures my struggles with drug and alcohol abuse and their intersection with feelings of inadequacy and depression better than any other song. And because of that, this song will always be amazing for me.


Even from the beginning, the lyrics resonate on an all to real basis like, "I feel amazing when I'm all alone / ... / turned off the cellphone, drank a bottle". The number of times I've just wanted to get shitfaced alone and forget everything are innumerable. And after enough times doing that shit you just want to shut off everything tying you to to world -- especially your phone. The next lines hit even harder: " Passed out naked, shriveling, stumbled
/ to bed in a fucked up sleepwalk" -- what drunk doesn't resonate with that all to frequent reality?


The chorus applied to me more when I was younger and struggling to graduate college, but I'm still dealing with the same shit of avoiding the people I love, always accompanied with, "Evenings of silence and mornings of nausea" -- despite having achieved the "future" I thought I was always chasing.


The next run of the chorus adds a couple other lines that hit hard too: "Shake and sweat and I can’t throw up" furthers the bleak imagery of being an alcoholic and "I walk through my life like I’m the only one" captures the unwanted but inevitable isolation addiction brings.


Verse 3 is probably the most heartbreaking for me, because I've been there soooo many times. You clean, workout -- even order a healthy meal -- but you still can't deal with/face those you love the most. The bitter irony being you know these are the folks that love you too and could help you, but you just can't. This usually led to the next bender for me.


I can't know fully what Jeff was thinking when writing this song but I'm so glad he did. I'm trying to get sober and better but it's a struggle, and some days are better than others. All I know is whenever I can't explain to a friend or a loved one the things I feel I tell them to listen to this song and pay close attention to the lyrics because it puts words to my feelings and actions better than I ever could.


This song (and whole album) kick ass and I'm so glad it exists.

My dude, keep fighting bro. Going through the same shit rn, but you really gotta want to feel happier. Just take it day by day. Each day do a little more than the day before, even if you're feeling like you don't want to. Afterwards you'll feel much better.

@jaidsalgado You both got this shit. I believe in you.

You guys got it! I believe in you!

@William Higdon thank you!!!

@Erin Frazier thanks fam 💪🏽🤙🏽

So you know how a lot of music videos have that comment that says "this song got me through some tough times"? Here's the one for this song. This song got me through a really shitty year last year with the line "I've got so tired of discussing my future, started avoiding the people I love". Won't go into detail as nobody here would give two shits but it was cool to hear a line that resonated with me so much an made me feel less on my own. Cheers Jeff.

Fucking perfect

This song is definately life.

So fucking awesome

still the best thing evere lol

Are we sure that the dude who threw the can isn’t Anthony Fantano?

[Verse 1]
Held in a bong hit, sitting in a
Hot tub in south Wisconsin. I feel
Amazing when I’m all alone
Switching between porn and Robocop
Turned off my cell phone, drank a bottle
Of wine and read a Cometbus and
Passed out naked, shriveling, stumbled
To bed in a fucked up sleepwalk

[Chorus]
I got so tired of discussing my future
I’ve started avoiding the people I love
Evenings of silence and mornings of nausea

[Verse 2]
I read the worst thing ever in a
Bathrobe of off-white Terry cloth
Translated by technology from
Your voice extremely inaccurately

[Chorus]
I got so tired of discussing my future
I’ve started avoiding the people I love
Evenings of silence and mornings of nausea
Shake and sweat and I can’t throw up
I got so tired of discussing my future
That I walk through my life like I’m the only one
With evenings of silence and mornings of nausea
Shake and sweat and I can’t throw up, oh no!

[Verse 3]
Cleaned up the empty bottles, let the
Smoke out through chilly windows
I used the stationary bike
And I watched the end of The Price Is Right
Ordered an egg-white sandwich and I
Drove south through mid-day traffic and I
Called up some folks I truly love and
Hung up after they said hello

[Chorus]
I got so tired of discussing my future
I’ve started avoiding the people I love
Evenings of silence and mornings of nausea
Shake and sweat and I can’t throw up
I got so tired of discussing my future
That I walk through my life like I’m the only one
With evenings of silence and mornings of nausea

someone PLEASE tell me what genre this is. although I don't relate to it much it's so fun to listen to

usually jeff's music is very guitar heavy but i would recommend just listening to more of his stuff, including his other projects like antarctigo vespucci and bomb the music industry

Pop Punk/Indie Rock/Alt Rock

oh my fuckin god he fuckin dead

what the actual fuck

i agree

my best friend moved away this song reminds me of him. I feel so sad every time i listen to it. I somehow knew that those years were the best of my life. and now ill never get them back. Danny if youre reading this, yes im talking about you and yes im drunk. Remember that night at checkers lol?

Went to a Joyce Manor concert recently and saw Jeff Rosenstock live as well. This song has been stuck in my head ever since. Super fucking awesome performer live. The guy went crowd surfing while playing the saxophone!!!

Dang, living life to these moments! Rising up, but not against. Enjoying life, but gotta get there. Not enjoying the trip there. How ever, I’ll get there when I get there. (bread crumbs)

I came for Finn

close your eyes and pretend that bender is singing

this song is weirdly hard to sing along too

"Ordered an egg-white sandwich and I"

actually what depression mixed with drug/alcohol abuse is like though

shoutouts to living alone and not talking to your family

me this morning

Ben Folds knockoff...

Held in the bong hit sitting in a

I feel amazing when I’m all alone

Turned off my cell phone
Drank a bottle of wine and read a Cometbus
got stoned naked, trip and stumble

He sounds like an out of tune kazoo with a weak constitution.

I love this guy. I don't know if his music is really just THAT good or if it's only hitting me in all the right places (read: lyrics) at this point my life

Mm. Tacos.

0:55 thought that was idubbz for a sec

Sounds like next album, Worry., more tuneful than much of We Cool.

I see a The Weakerthans t-shirt on the girl beside the guy who threw the can.

On a serious note this song hits hard for me since I started college...

That sidekicks t shirt

instant classic

Was that Oliver Ackermann at 0:59?

Kicked ass with the Menzingers in STL, good shit guys 😃

A kid named "Ryan Watson" inspired me to check out the original song after I saw his amazing acoustic cover, thanks Ryan. I wish I would've heard of this song sooner!

fun fact:jeff is made of tacos

Who was the bald guy who threw the bottle? He looked super familiar

its my song

looks like Nathan Fielder dancing at 0:16

so like... I discovered this band about 2 weeks ago while listening to a band named spraynard... and I'm honestly glad I did its absolutely amazing...

let me guezz. jew?

this is a direct product of american consumerism. without the dumb culture of that country, this kind of tripe would never fucking exist. DIE AMERICA!!!!

kris weston what are you saying?

kris weston ... what does that even mean? do you understand the meaning of the words you are typing?

:D fools.

This guy is a champ & you have no idea what you are talking about

I LOVE THIS SONG

um is that Nathan Fielder behind the drummer?

Nah that's me.

Are those f**king tacos!?!?!

i really love this song

evenings of salads and mornings of nausea

"Switching between porn and robocop" is pure genius. Ha!

HE FUCKING SOUNDS LIKE JAKE THE DOG

Joey Ball how dare you imply anything could ever ruin Jeff

+sqeekses you're right I still love him

so also bender from futurama

IKR I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY NOTICING THIS

He sounds like Josh Gad

Months before this song came out I saw Jeff at a Laura Stevenson show and asked him about his future. I wonder...

Flcl1080 lmao

Heeey that's pretty good

I want a Jeff taco....

This song sucks.

Shut up Lawrence

Z mcdump cuck

ohh solid comeback

what do you listen to? why are you here, not only listening to something you don't like, but feeling the need to comment on it? Are you autistic or just an anti-social fucking weirdo?

This video is ridiculous in the best way possible! I don't know how I'm seeing it for the first time just now.

I find this very relatable.

Especially the taco part

shit i hate it when people take my fucking del taco

idk why I like this so much

is that nathan fielder in the crowd?

so sick my dude

Southwest Wisconsin represent.

+TheBaronVSP Platteville. We really out here.

It's Timmy Cupcakes!

I always took the knives to be a nod to that kid who tried getting into that BtMI! show with a backpack full of knives

i dream about seeing myself in the crowd when watching this video and then posting a really quaint comment about how i'm in the video

The lady getting stabbed at 1:39 is my old geography teacher.

Glad that hairless nerd bring me here

Saw these guys open up in Denver. Fantastic show. In fact got me back into playing music.

the only words in the first verse i could understand first time i listened to this were "porn and robocop"

same here

nice pfp from the AV album

I survived childhood. I hope that I'm the last person ever cursed with the name "jacob." Please learn from the past's errors. By that, I mean in a not emotionally attached sense.

Rather, just...

This boat just tips over because it's top heavy with problems. Let go of self desires and endeavors and be quietly, calmly abstract because it ain't going anywhere. Enjoy the view and don't get involved because this about sums it up.

I'm watching a playlist made up of hardcore underground hip hop and this comes up. I'm not complaining thou

+Brian Banegas #1 I live in my momma's house..

NUMBA ONE I LIVE IN MY MAMA HOUSE!!!

I'm twenty fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive! fuck i love jefff & btmi & asob anybody feeel freeee to leave me any music suggestions fucking please & thank you!

HgihAsFcuk Soulless by Fake Problems :)

Would you say you... Can't Complain?

Bomb the music industry? This is cool but what happened to the band?

The last album they released was 2010 or 2011, they did a final string of shows in 2012 before a hiatus because they wanted to focus on other stuff, then came back January 2014 to do a confirmed final show (they actually did two in the row because one sold out immediately) and have been officially disbanded since. Jeff has been doing solo stuff for a few years

+John G Also, important to recognize that BTMI orginally was a solo project...so in my mind it's like nothing has changed :)

+Johnny KRAPS II True. Also worth noting most of the regular BtMI! band helps with the Jeff stuff, as seen here, so it's a pretty smooth transition for the fans

Yep yep!  That's why I didn't understand the hurt over BTMI calling it a day, (also didn't quite understand the need to call it something different, except it seems Jeff has a need not to be bound by songs that people expect from him)

i liked it, weird

tacos equal suffering
