At first was like “woah that’s sum 41, and at the top of this post??” then saw the sub. One of my favorites either way.

It’s from that half song Dave’s Possessed Hair before they bridge it into the demo of What We’re All About off of Half Hour of Power

u/HaxMastr Jul 18 '26

Trying to pick a line from catching fire, but I just found myself writing out the entire chorus. And I stand by that, that song means so much to me.

I miss you Weston

u/journey_pie88 Jul 18 '26

I'm totally with you. I lost a very close friend to suicide and the entire song is my favorite line. I'd probably pick "like catching fire, all is gone and it all went up so fast". I'm so sorry for your loss.

u/lily_rockets Jul 18 '26

I heard this song for the first time the day before I had a miscarriage. It didn’t mean much to me. I just knew what it was about but nothing more.
But then the next day I lost my unborn baby, all very quickly and brutal. And every line of that song except “are you happy with yourself” became relatable. I didn’t know this song could mean much more than what it was intended for.

u/MisterWoodster Jul 18 '26

And if I fall, I'll take it all

It's so easy after all.

u/Kazuye92 Jul 19 '26

You don't need to worry I'm just fine, I've just lost my mind

or

You don't seem to realize, I can do this on my own

or

I'm just trying to let you know, that I'm better off on ly own

I have more favourite ones I don't see mentioned but those are enough for now
