Story So Far, The - Daughters Lyrics






Before you twist your tongue
Know there's no chance at all
Came here against my will
And my wills tested strong

Until now, I know we've never met
But I don't want to talk and I'm already upset
That you'll meet your demise in a drunken man's bet
Take another pull to make certain you forget

And to think that you're somebody's daughter
Away at college not getting smarter

Everything changes when all the lights in the room are as low as you
But don't trip you'll sober up soon
Regain an honest perspective as you puke on the floor
Can't remember why your knees are so cut up and sore

And you'll be hung over all day (all day! all day!)
You'll be hung over all day (all day! all day!) [x4]

Story So Far, The Daughters Comments
  1. A.... I....

    This song brings so many memories. For reasons I don't want to go into, I had to go live at my aunt and uncles house when I was fifteen. Me and my cousin who was the youngest but of very similar age were always butting heads. I guess the biggest part of it was it was small town nowhere. There's a very niche group of kids to hang out with. Seeing as that I was an ok person and pretty good at sports (despite not having played anything previously. Naturally athletic?) I was accepted into the "popular kid" group almost immediately. This was alien to me and she knew it. I was infringing on her world. Her female friends were always hitting on me. I can remember the first week I had moved there, one of her friends came over and they went up to her room. My aunt sent me up there with food. I knocked, "Hey, auntie sent some food for you." "Who's this?" she replied. "Don't play dumb with me. Food. Surely you want that?" She opened the door. "Who's that?" her friend asked. "Oh yeah! Your cousin, you mentioned that earlier." I gave a small wave from the door and I got a good look at her friend. Really cute. She sort of grinned when she saw me. "Can he hang out with us for a bit?" "No way. With him? Really? Come on." "Aw, why not? Not just for a little bit?" "No thanks" I said seeing my cousins look. "I have stuff to do right now." I closed the door. "Oh my gosh he's such a cutie! Why didn't you tell me?" I heard muffled through the door. I could feel my face getting hot. I was a nobody every day previously. It was so strange from my perspective. Of course, when you get into this group you get exposed to all the shit that comes with it. Small town makes it about ten times worse. For the first few months me and my cousin would get home after a night out and I'd sit there and listen to her blatantly lie to my aunt about all the illegal shit we'd done. I'd nod my head and go along with it because I had never experienced any of this before. I have a feeling my aunt wouldn't have done anything anyway. My uncle would've. He cared about his kids. I eventually started to gain clarity as to what was going on with her, my cousin. She was 16 dating a 22 year old guy. I found out she was on birth control. Sleeping with other guys behind his back. As if it wasn't wrong enough. The guy was an asshole to. Fucking terrible. Eventually I had to make a choice. I remembered my mom telling me all she wanted as a teenage girl was to have someone to lean on, a protector of sorts. She wished she had someone like that. Someone that could understand all the situations she was in. Someone who wasn't an adult so they were less judgmental. I told myself I'd do that for my cousin. She got found out by her boyfriend shortly after. She barely left her room for a week. Around that time I was listening to this album. I decided enough was enough, if I was gonna do my self imposed job it was now. I walked into her room and she was just sitting there on her phone. I told her to start talking. Protest. "Do it, now." "You know what happened" "Do I though? I don't think someone who cheated so consistently would be this torn." She looked at me, hate filled eyes. A long silence "Can you just... listen to something for me?" "Why?" "Again, do it, now" I plugged in her ear buds into my iPod. As you can probably guess, I played this song. Not a pretty sight. Tears. Lots of tears. She was just shaking. Trying to punch me and yell something but it just came out in gasps and light beats on my chest. When I was sure the song was done I told her "If you wan't to tell me what really happened you can, but you don't have to." "Your such a fucking idiot..." "Mhm. Just remember, the next time you fuck up, i'm here. Before that, I'm going to be there whether I get the shit beaten out of my scrawny ass or not and whether I have to be a bit hurtful to accomplish that." I'll always remember that day, because it showed my the effect music can have on people.

    fuckyeah song

  17. E.... C....

    When u listen to this a few years later and ur like wow this is the misogyny anthem. Whiny cis straight boy bullshit

    E.... C....

    you're the whiny one. it's just a song, if you're gonna take all the lyrics of all the songs so literally then you're gonna have a bad time. art is a means of venting and expression. yeah he's pissed the girl he likes is sleeping with someone else, so he spews out his raw emotion to help him digest it and displays that raw emotion to the world in the form of the song. it's a feeling we can all relate to but that doesn't mean we hate women, it's just that initial feeling.


    that shitty band you like brand new has a song called sic transit gloria talking about girls taking advantage of virgin boys but i dont see you crying on their youtube videos about misogyny

  18. C.... ....

    Age 19 Parker Cannon's lyric flow: Untouchable

  22. D.... H....

    0:36 OMG mis oidos

  23. b.... ....

    Parker is clearly the kinda dude that stayed in a relationship when his girl went off to college.

  24. A.... A....

    First song I've ever heard by them and it's still my favorite!!!

  25. M.... ....

    Support your local scene by dropkicking a slut today.

  26. P.... F....

    Why do all the teenage girls have to ruin the image of a perfectly good band because they got triggered by the lyrics. Heads up, morons, writing a song about ONE girl who is a slut doesn't make him a misogynist. It's a song. Chill the fuck out.

  27. S.... ....

    To everyone who is saying that The Story So Far is sexist or are slut shamers let me explain something. First off, there is nothing wrong with women wanting to have multiple sexual partners or living by the "fuck and duck" motto. That is perfectly fine, no one is entitled to be in a committed relationship and I am a firm believer that women have the right to do whatever the hell they want with their bodies as long as it is within moral boundaries. The real issue is when a woman is TOYING or MANIPULATING a man's emotions and is secretly fucking other guys behind his back without futher knowledge nor consent. If she was never interested in anything serious and just wanted to have fun for a night, she should have fucking said so in the first place (this goes out to the guys as well, if you dont want anything serious with the girl your about to sleep with, at least fucking tell her). THAT is when a woman should be deemed as a slut (I know there is a huge debate going on about how society uses the word, but we dont need to dive down that rabbit hole). Dont get me started on the guys end. Men who ALSO toy or manipulate a woman's emotions just to fuck other women behind her back are no better, which is why we now call them fuck boys.

    Now back to TSSF, throughout his songs Parker sings about a girl (or girls) he PERSONALLY KNEW (meaning not a generalization of a massive population) who really manipulated/fucked with his emotions and toyed with him behind his back. Lets be honest, ANY rational minded human being both guys and girls would be fucking pissed off on some level if that were to happen to them. For the "ruining men" lyric in Roam, he is talking about how this said girl is fucking with other guys emotions just for her own personal gain which is extremely immoral.

    For the song Mt Diablo (which I assume he is talking about a different girl but I dont really know), he is talking about a girl who used to be special to him but is just going down a reckless and dark path without makeing smarter decisions in life. When he is talking about the lyric "think about who you let between your thighs" he is not criticizing how many guys she has slept with. He is criticizing WHO she slept with. For all we know, the guys she could be sleeping with are manipulative abusers who only use her for sex and nothing more. But he also said "if you think your fine, go ahead and follow that line" meaning if the girl doesnt want to listen to his advice she has the right to do so.

    Now for this song Daughters. Going off from my statements in Mt. Diablo, he is talking about how she is just making reckless life decisions without even bothering trying to make something out her life. He even said that she is going college but she is not bothering "trying to get smarter." Meaning she doesnt care about her education and only wants to party and get drunk without having any plan for a future or not even TRYING to think of a possible future. He even repeats this again in their later song How You Are, how she still hasnt changed and has gone deeper down this dark path, but there is a piece in Parker's heart who WANTS her to have a happy and successful life but he hates watching her waste her opportunities in life. Lets be honest, any rational minded person would feel that way if they see someone they care about the most slowly deteriorating before their eyes.

    Now I know some people would argue that Parker could fall under the "nice guy" trope. And I will admit there is some truth to that in Parker within TSSF's earlier stuff (or pop punk in general lol). Plus im not a fan of the nice guy trope either since most "nice guys" are self centered assholes who whine and complain that women are not bowing down to them to suck their dicks because they are nice and they think they are omnipotent godlike beings who believes the world owes them everything. But I think what separates Parker from most nice guys is that he is willing to admit his flaws instead of falling into a god complex. In Clairvoyant (again I assume its a different girl but Im not exactly sure) he sings that he "swims in the water thats breaking her levy" meaning he admits that it was his fault for pushing this girl away because he always tested her patience and he doesnt blame her for leaving him as said in the lyric "the way that you left me is alright its alright." Hell throughout their whole self titled album, it is heavilly hinted that Parker feels like he is going insane and doesnt know how to let go and sometimes questions himself if he is too emotionally damaged to move on or too broken to have a stable relationship with another loving woman.

    Anyway thats all I have to say.

  47. r.... ....

    So, am I not the only one that hears the last chorus of "Stay Together For The Kids" by Blink 182 at 2:05? I'm seeing people talk about Blink, and was wondering if that's what it was about. I pointed it out to my friend, who got me into TSSF, and it blew his mind, lol.

    Also: Are people seriously say "sombodies"? Seriously....lol.

    r.... ....

    different notes but sounds similar

    r.... ....

    @sassythepotato Just meant with the progression, and how the drum fill came in. Just thought it was cool, lol.

    r.... ....

    Whoa man i heard it!!

    r.... ....

    Late, but...There are a lot of little melodies and parts that sound like they were directly lifted from older pop punk bands in many tssf songs. It's all been done before so the best way to make good music is to take what's worked in the past and mash it with your own shit for a unique perspective. There's really no such thing as new music but the range for pop punk is especially small. I'll listen to the newer bands out from time to time and more often than not I'll be heavily reminded of something I've heard before from older bands in their music. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing either

  48. T.... A....

    i cant stop listening to this 

  49. p.... ....

    AND TO THINK THAT YOU"RE SOMEBODIES DAUGHTER

    @guffnuh hehehe that made meh laugh cx

  50. E.... ....

    BEST. FUCKING. ALBUM.

    E.... ....

    No lie.

    E.... ....

    Always will be the best

  51. w.... f....

    BersGamer :D

  52. T.... M....

    YOU'LL B HUNGOVER ALL DAYYYY <3

  53. p.... ....

    I don't care if you'r being sarcastic your a horrible person and should feel bad that you can say such things in a public forum. Life is wasted on you.

  54. Y.... ....

    It's the best part!

  55. a.... ....

    the things that many guys and girls do in college are far from making informed choices about what to do with your body. they fall in line with the herd and debase themselves. love this song and it's not sexist.

  56. P.... ....

    idk, I think all the high stuff in this is sung out of the key that the rest of the song is written in

  57. D.... K....

    I would be :P

  58. D.... Z....

    I understand that there is a certain sprechgesang speech-singing effect with harsh vowels, but there is absolutely a key

  59. A.... R....

    holy shit that fucking note at 0:35. that's amazing

  60. P.... ....

    I think that's the point of the genre thought, none of it is really sung in key

  61. D.... Z....

    Love this song but is it just me or does he overshoot that high note?

    D.... Z....

    yea it's a halfstep over the right one... i wonder why they kept it? it's done with flawless technique tho haha

  62. S.... T....

    I just want to sit in my room and listen to this all day.

  63. N.... P....

    His band selection is off, but the point I think he's trying to make is that Punk derived from Rock/Metal which derived from Rock n' Roll, which derived from Blues, which in turn started during the slave trade. Yes it was all for a joke, but then again somewhat true.

  64. J.... T....

    This song is 100% written about my ex-girlfriend.

  65. H.... E....

    My favourite part of pop punk is the misogyny and slut shaming

  66. A.... H....

    More like minor threat and bad religion... but yeah, Metallica has absolutely nothing to do with NOFX or how punk music has evolved through time. I think that guy was only trying to get to BB King so he could make his joke and get thumbs up.

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

    I think you just roll with this one... Not much you can say or do.

  68. N.... ....

    Slippery slope much?

  69. X.... ....

    This song goes out to all the sluts.

  70. X.... ....

    This song goes out to all the sluts.

  71. M.... ....

    The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who...ect also had a huge inpact on this type of music. Doing something different going against the culture ect

  72. M.... ....

    metallica are sellouts and they suck.

  73. M.... ....

    that is has nothing to do with punk rock, or pop punk.

  74. I.... E....

    There is always going to be some smart ass who thinks its better than everyone else for bashing metallica, sad, so sad.

  75. Z.... ....

    Whats so bad about metallica?

  76. c.... t....

    best performance at warped tour hands down

  77. J.... H....

    sorry, but NOFX was around way before metallica, and the exsistance of punk was around due to rock not due to metal.

  78. A.... R....

    last weekend i saw them perform this song, i was against the barricade with thousands of other kids shoving forward as we all sang along and jumped and honestly it was one of my favorite moments of warped '13. they put on a great show.

  79. j.... ....

    what about the ramones and the sex pistols? they were around before metallica

  80. C.... ....

    metallica changed the face of modern rock and metal, and in turn punk. you gotta face facts, no matter how lame metallica is

  81. M.... ....

    Metallica? what the fuck are you on about.

    try the ramones, sex pistols, black flag, etc.

  82. N.... J....

    Technically speaking, the Ramones were'nt a heavy influence for this vain of punk

  83. N.... ....

    Everything about this song is awesome

  84. C.... ....

    The uploader deleted it 'you imbecile'.

  85. K.... P....

    Imagine seeing Blink-182 with The Story So Far opening...that would be amazing. See you guys in Buffalo!!

  86. C.... W....

    Did you seriously put Metallica in that list and exclude the Ramones. What the fuck?

  87. C.... ....

    wait, wtf did I even write? LOL. it's been so long I dont even know what I posted. It got deleted. (also thanks for reminding me to favorite this song)

  88. D.... C....

    Yeah I guess your probably right. And the way there's no human vibrato in his voice doesn't tip you of right.. No disrespect meant, its a great band with a great singer with an amazing voice range but. There no other FX I know of that will make you voice sound like this.

  89. C.... ....

    That time line got all fucked up when you mentioned Metallica. You realize that NOFX's biggest influence was The Misfits and Fat Mike hates metal with a huge passion?

  90. a.... c....

    amazing <3

  91. 4.... ....

    This one goes out to all the sluts.

  92. e.... p....

    ALL HAIL MOZART!

  93. N.... A....

    Generally i dont give a shit about racism, but his comment was just all kinds of stupid. I'm not going to sit and cry about it, I'm well aware the world is full of dickheads. So no offense, but i really don't need a life lesson from you. 'peace brah'

  94. g.... ....

    SUCH AN UNDERATED BAND ....I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH

  95. E.... D....

    As a black person you need to just not give a fuck and not look for reasons to get offended. The world is offensive, don't like it then peace brah.

  96. C.... ....

    Yeah dicks!!!!

  97. a.... ....

    so much progress. remember seeing them in a room of only 4 kids screaming as loud as they could to While You Were Sleeping and even some of their demos.

  98. M.... B....

    I absolutely agree.
