Wonder Years, The - The Devil In My Bloodstream Lyrics

Did the band break up? :(

They played war drum out of time, so im not sure where I’ve been marching.

so humble :)

I just realized this kind of goes to the rhythm of "everything I own fits in this backpack"

CAUSE BABY YOU'RE A FIREWOOOOOORK

This song makes me cry

I BET I'D BE A FUCKING COWARD

I feel like I’m dying

Soupy for president!

"I want to be strong but it's not easy anymore"
"I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me"

This is one of my go to songs for when my depression gets bad. Ive had this on repeat all night. The lyrics are just so hard hitting and, I dont know, makes me feel less alone. Rigt now I really feel crying because everyone thinks everything is fine but it's not, even though it was but now it's not. Music will always be there for you even when no one else is

I'm so in love with this song

listened to this song again and damn it made me cry considering where i am rn

they played the war drum out of time, so I'm not sure where I've been marching

describes perfectly how I've been feeling for the past year, I freaking love this music

This song crushes me even harder than it used to.

Am i the only one that expects soupy to say “it’s not easy being green” instead of “it’s not easy anymore”

Esta canción me trae muchos buenos recuerdos que me deprimen 💔😉

This song is so beautiful

2017/2018. Presente. 🔥🎶🚀

Being away from home, 6 hours away at college and this song helps

They played this when I saw them live and I almost cried

Depression grabbed his throat and choked the life out of him slowly. I've got the same blood coursing through my veins; it'll come for me eventually. I'm ready for it.

It shouldn't have been sunny and warm the day my grandpa died

I am listening to this song on a off day at my ait (job training) for the army. I'm a combat medic and this ssong made me realize that this is probably not the best job for me considering my family's history with depression...

I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me

Honestly one of my favorite songs ever, it's so powerful

used to be in a very bad place. when I get a touch of where that was, I sometimes wind up back to this song. it'll be okay.

i want to be strong, but it's not easy anymore .... damn

I wanna be strong, but it's not easy anymore

Aw man I heard this live recently and when it kicks in I just fucking exploded with emotion, these guys are just so so so good

God, this song gives me chills.

Jaden Newman me too

currently on repeat... wow

fucking love this song

"I bet I'd be a FUCKING COWARD" amen.

Beautiful song

I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU IN ARGENTINA :')

not a big fan of paramore or twenty one but yeah chvrches are great love listening to them and the wonder years

Who is the girl singing with him? Holy shit they're amazing together.

+Julia Rose Laura Stevenson

+Chance Parham thank you

This. Song.

Who's the girl doing backing vocals in this song?

+amethystqveen Sorry for you loss man, hope you're feeling better c:

Im so sorry love stay strong

Sorry for your loss love stay strong <3 <3

I wanna be strong :[ but it's not easy anymore; I'm hoping I'm wrong.

"Oh i just wanted to see a little bit of everything'

every single listen that part gets to me. holy shit.

There songs are to relatable

What does that part mean?

"I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me" this song just fucks me up.

This band just hurts my heart

But I love it so much

This is the wonder years best song to me. This song just does things to me. Like this song makes me get chills, makes me cry, makes me get goosebumps and makes me feel like I'm on drugs (I never ever done drugs)

"I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me"

Damn...

"Depression grabbed his throat and choked the life out of him slowly. I've got the same blood coursing through my veins it will come for me eventually." Damn that line hits so hard

Hey Everyone! I just made a Fan Made video to There, There! I hope you guys check it out! I just thought it'd be fun haha

I need to see them live some day....

I can't stop listening to this ever since seeing them in October last year.
They played this as their encore song and my face is still melted off. (:

this is my go-to "turn off the lights, crawl into bed, hug a pillow, and cry" song

+RachelPTV same

try terrible things by mayday parade

yep same

Me too. I listened to this when I was in my lowest point of my life. I was very depressed

Non stop chills when listening to this song, it's one of my favorite songs by them

This could have easily been an Aaron West song.

but this is real, the aaron west story isn't

+Andrew Fullagar Aaron West may be fictional, but that album is nothing but real

+Mitchell Paddock true. that album fucks me up

NO MAMES NO MAMES NO MAMES NO MAMES PERFECTA

It's 6am and I've no sleep but I found this song for the first time and I had to listen to before I went to sleep

Who the hell disliked this?

This song is brilliant.

"Two blackbirds on a highway sign are laughing at me at four in the morning..."

The moment where he yells "I bet I'd be a fucking coward". Gets me every time.

shivers everytime god dammit

I know how it feels to be, at war with a world that never loved me.

Seth Rollins' playlist brought me here.

I live in north Missouri. :D

Possibly the most boring part of the US. Congrats.

the line I wanted to know if i could please come home makes me super depressed, as someone who gets homesick bad and battles depression and anxiety daily

I cried like a baby when I saw them play this live. So much raw emotion..

this gives me goosebumps

Depression sucks

If you ever wanner talk my kik gemma_goble and my Facebook Gemma Goble I won't judge

this song is so amazing

Depression grabbed his throat
And choked the life out of him slowly.

"And i just wanted to know, if i could please come home" hits me really hard..

For some reason, this song reminds me of the scene in Supernatural where Dean tells Sam about Hell.

AGREED!!! When i think of this song and the whole album I think of SN!

well now i am sad

@scotchbonnetxoxo NO

@scotchbonnetxoxo i cant escape the spn feels anywhere

it reminds me of american horror story for some fucking reason

New alarm tone: 2:00

That is perfect !

 it'll come for me eventually. I bet I'd be a fucking coward.
chills

This always gives me chills. 

firework from katy perry melody?

wow thanks for making me notice that.  

@Joe Pontiac  I'm so glad it's not just me!! I pointed it out to my boyfriend and I thought he might cry ahaha

This whole album is telling a story I think, cause he repeats the same lyrics in different songs and in I just want to sell out my funeral explains it all. That song is by far the best on the album, my favorite. This is the best album of 2013 in my opinion.

its about him battling depression

Depression grabbed his throat and choked the life out of him slowly. I've got the same blood coursing through
my veins; it'll come for me eventually. I bet I'd be a fucking coward.
Ive listened to this song like 50 times and it still gets me every fucking time

the beginning of this song puts my dog to sleep. then when the "i'd bet i be a fucking coward" part comes she just jolts awake lol.

Can someone please explain what this song is about

Its all about interpertation but I see it as him going home to his grandfathers funeral. He talks about how depression got the best of his grandpa and tht it might get the best of him too. 

@soccergurl26598 I heard it's about war

@Gary L Maybe his grandpa was a war veteran who eventually killed himself because of PTSD?

its about how he couldnt face what his grandpa went through and how he feels the secondhand emotion from it... i think

+Connor Faris it interweaves all three of the mentioned themes. The song specifically is partly about his grandfather and how he suffered from depression, and how Soupy suffers from depression and how he inherited it from his grandfather, as mentioned earlier, the whole album as a whole has undertones about how the generation that fought in World War ii is the best generation and it is our generation's responsibility to prove ourselves and undertones about fighting in world war ii.

I never gave this band a chance because I don't like pop-punk.  But I started listening to this album a week ago and have been listening non-stop. It's definitely one of my favorite albums ever.

Look up neck deep... Crushing grief, or a part of me

@Joe Pontiac fireworks - run brother run

DRIFT! never saw this comment before. but so glad to see another fan of erra on here. honestly that album got me through some suicidal shit. - Landon of Hades In Olympus

I don't pay attention to genres anymore. Just like what sounds good to you. Easier that way.

@eli forged In Bloom...December... The Beach is for Lovers, Not Lonely Losers

Gram pa Ill miss you. In couple more hours ye'll be dead i'm so sorry you got sick. You won the war from the start.

fucking in love with this song..

My sisters car died in the freezing cold this thanksgiving. When we got it back on the first thing we heard was "I bet i'd be a fucking coward" on full blast. best thanksgiving ever.

:( you´re a big person! good luck and you are not a coward ;)

It's like I'm falling in love all over again, but this time there's cookies and coconut milk offered to me.

Any band who wants to make a serious pop punk album is going to have to top this one and a honestly i don't think it will be done, not for a long time at least. No band around today has all the pieces (vocalists, lyricists, musicians, creativity) to do it. I think this will be the defining pop punk album for generations to come

a lot of people are going to disagree with this, but I think you're right. Sonically and lyrically, they're the best the game's ever seen.

I BET I'LL BE A FUCKING COWARD :/

we went down on a buffalo

the wonder years are the best pop punk band to ever do it period

This album is nothing more than pure genius. Best album put out this year!

I feel that. I think they're trying to tell their audience to question how you live your life and if it really really makes you happy

This song makes me question my existence and I love every bit of it.

This song literally makes me tear up every single time. "I wanna be strong. But it's not easy anymore."

Can't *

I completely and totally misjudged this song when my boyfriend (ex now) told me about it. I didn't understand a lot about everything going on until I hears this song. Now I can stop listening to it. ♥

Except this is good.

-two blackbirds on a highway sign
-baby you're a firework
nearly the same

I've always got to stop whatever I'm doing and listen properly to the 'fucking coward' scream roar bit, oh my God such a fucking awesome song, gives me goosebumps.

Sorry to hear that man, try and stay positive! It makes all the difference in the world.

I see the Devil in the bloodstream as the cancer.
The cancer got my grandad, depression grabbed his throat, and he died.
I wento thru cancer aswell, but i KNOW itll come for me.
I read his memoirs, with his goodbyes he also wrote that he loved me like he loved his onw children.
I burst into tears every single time i hear this song.

Perfection.
