@@dark_sunset yes. the song was always about a terrible, selfish act. The lyrics are pretty damn literal. it's about taking advantage of, and essentially date raping, an overly drunk girl while he was also drunk, but sober enough to consciously realize she was too fucked up to consent and what he was doing was wrong but did it anyway. the song is a confession. Regardless, what's come out about him doesn't suddenly make all of Brand New's music suck. Separate the art from the artist.
this song seems like the first song that shows the transition they make towards devil and god. Like I can definitely see these kind of intimate and personal lyrics on devil and god. It has the dynamics too. Just a thought
For 8 years Brand new has been my favorite band, and they will be for 8 more years. I hope they never stop doing what they do. Now forget about this mainstream category thats rocking the media, something doesnt need mass attention to be considered good music. Im not hating on other genres of music but thats because i dont care. And thats been my moto ever since i was kid ``Mind your own business, do what you wanna do``
Alot of their songs had me doin that since middle school 😂😂 my cuzzo introduced me to smosh com when it was legit and i learned about the albums older than this one...crispy vocals 🤌🏽🤌🏽
I played this song before I hooked up with my ex girlfriend after we broke up, I didn't feel bad about it because she didn't like Brand New to begin with

it is good line in cali, or any other college bar......
went through a long, long phase of not liking/ forgetting the greatness of this song. come back and seriously wowed.
Just happened to me. Used to listen when I was 19-21, I’m now about to be 28 and just in awe the feelings this song brings
@@ethanthomas6553 100%
every song from this guys its just perfect to me
I agree! Brand news lyrics are the deepest and rbe best lyricist ive heard in a bit...
2:40 "If you let my have my way, I swear I'd tear you apart." That part always resonates a little bit too well.
If I knew I was going to go deaf, this would be the last song I listened to.
I love the calmness in his voice
I haven't listened to Brand New in years. I forgot how good they are.
🖤I always appreciate Brand New🖤
I got a 20 dollar Bill

I think I have issues lol, I've listened to this song like atleast ten times today.
If you let me have my way, I swear I'll tear you apart.
I love the maliciousness behind this song.
This is just a confession, isn't it?
The whole album is. Still 🔥 though.
It’s not written by Jesse Lacey
Only if there's a Dashboard lol 😆
@@daltorthedestroyer2016 Except it is.
He turnee out to be a rapist.. so yeah
So calming
I fuxking love Jesse Lacey
He's a rapist.. but the music is grand
his voice is so disarming till you realize what the lyrics are really saying
It's so unnerving now that everything has come out about him
Makes my stomach turn

love love love this song
love the harmonics during the chorus. for some reason i sing along with that instead of the lead vocals
Alot of their songs had me doin that since middle school 😂😂 my cuzzo introduced me to smosh com when it was legit and i learned about the albums older than this one...crispy vocals 🤌🏽🤌🏽
this song is awesome!!!!!!
I like how this perfectly outlines what he was confronted for 🤷♂️
And people think that one line in "Sudden Death in Carolina" is bad!
This is one of my favourite songs ever... and I've genuinely only just realised that thhe title says 'Maradona', not 'Madonna'. How embarrassing :-/
Dude...I was today years old when I realized it was Maradona, not Madonna.
I can’t believe you just found this out lol that’s Busch league
this is beautiful
R.I.P. Maradona.
best album ever :)
is this a mandela effect cuz i remember it being me vs madonna vs elvis ???
*_Join the club._*
It was always Maradona lol I remember as I am a bit of a football fan
i just melt.
@saulithian you sir have been missing out.
love this song!!!!
so true dude
@bronsonbaker Thanks that makes me fell better!
"You're laughing every word trying hard to be cute ... " love this line
Already heard. It's French. Déjà Entendu.
Bong! Bing! Bong bong! lol
why the fuck did i just stumble across this band now? i've been deprived
this is fucking amazing
@saulithian because brand new is a gem among rocks
yes
I played this song before I hooked up with my ex girlfriend after we broke up, I didn't feel bad about it because she didn't like Brand New to begin with
That's gay
*Tear*
or the only?
Guess lacey was a sonic youth fan
This song.
It is literally impossible to be better than Jesse Lacey.

With one or two, I get used to the room
We go slow when we first make our moves
By five or six, bring you out to the car
Number nine with my head on the bar
And it's sad but true, out of cash and IOUs
I got desperate desires and unadmirable plans
My tongue will taste of gin and malicious intent
Bring you back to the bar, get you out of the cold
My sober straight face gets you out of your clothes
And they're scared that we know all the crimes they'll commit
Who they'll kiss before they get home
[Chorus]
I will lie awake and lie for fun
And fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
Barely conscious in the door where you stand
Your eyes are fighting sleep while your mouth makes your demands
You laugh at every word, trying hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for what I'm gonna do
And your hair smells of smoke
Who will cast the first stone?
You can sin or spend the night all alone
Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold
In the shape of a heart that they cut out of stone
You're using all your looks that you've thrown from the start
If you let me have my way, I swear, I'll tear you apart
Cause it's all you can be
You're a drunk, and you're scared
It's ladies night, all the girls drink for free
[Chorus]
I will lie awake and lie for fun
And fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
I will lie awake and lie for fun
And fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say

You don’t think she is also taking advantage of him in the same
Way lol don’t kid yourself seeing this song as one way it’s about a relationship where both of them don’t really care and just don’t want to be alone
Rape
Hot take:
Knowing this and many other songs were admissions of guilt make them far more interesting than before.
I thought the same thing.
guilty of what? wanting to get laid and using painfully basic tactics to do so? it's a story as old as time, nothing to cry about. jesse is only pandering when he reflects on these earlier songs in interviews.

Its like his heart is trying to say, "I know me, and I don't want to hurt you.. but i just dont have the ability not to"
tigers jaw?
How could anybody hear this song and NOT think this guy was a fucking creep?
Because he was a talented creep 😏
fortunately i never made that mistake... i made that mistake with the jesus track from their next record... foolish me
This song is about him. It’s so disappointing.
It's an amazing song
I think Jesse Lacey is great I dont care what some promiscuous slobs had to say about him
Isn’t disappointing to me it’s honesty about relationships that don’t mean anything to either person
You laugh at every word, trying hard to be cute....I almost feel sorry for what I'm gonna do...
If you let me have my way, I SWEAR I'LL TEAR YOU APART!
scary
well this shit didnt age too well did it
This song is not nice to listen too after all this shit came out
MultiFirebrand you're illiterate.
What came out? :(
@@daniabeck9539 The lead singer was discovered to be a sex offender and had asked his fans to strip and do awful things for his pleasure
