Sum 41 - Does This Look Infected? Lyrics






The Hell Song

Everybody's got their problems
Everybody says the same things to you
It's just a matter how you solve them
And knowing how to change the things you've been through

I feel I've come to realize
How fast life can be compromised
Step back to see what's going on
I can't believe this happened to you
This happened to you

It's just a problem that I'm faced with am I
Not the only one who hates to stand by
Complications that are first in this line
With all these pictures running through my mind

Knowing endless consequences
I feel so useless in this
Can't back, stand back, can't ask
For me I can't believe

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if this for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if this for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure
Anymore

Everybody's got their problems
Everybody says the same things to you
It's just a matter how you solve them
But what else are we supposed to do

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if this for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if this for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure
Anymore

Why do things that matter the most
Never end up being our choice
Now that I find no way so bad
I don't think I knew what I had

Why do things that matter the most
Never end up being our choice
Now that I find no way so bad
I don't think I knew what I had

Over My Head (Better Off Dead)

What happened to you?
You've played the victim for so long now in this game
What I thought was true
Is made of fiction and I'm following the same

But if I try to make sense of this mess I'm in
I'm not sure where I should begin
I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

Now I'm in over my head
With something I said
Completely misread
I'm better off dead
And now I can see
How fake you can be
This hypocrisy's beginning to get to me

It's none of my concern
Don't look to me 'cause I don't believe in fame
I guess you never heard
I've met our makers, they don't even know your name

But if I had to say goodbye to leave this hell
I'd say my time has served me well
I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

Now I'm in over my head
With something I said
Completely misread
I'm better off dead
And now I can see
How fake you can be
This hypocrisy's beginning to get to

This came long before
Those who suffer more
I'm too awake for this to be a nightmare

What's with my disgrace
I've lost the human race
No one plans for it to blow up in their face

Who said it was easy to put back all these pieces?
Who said it was so easy to put back all of these pieces?

Now I'm in over my head
With something I said
Completely misread
I'm better off dead
And now I can see
How fake you can be
This hypocrisy's beginning to get to me

Over my head
Better off dead
Over my head
Better off dead
Alright

My Direction

Perfection is my direction,
Even if that's all I had.
It's not like I need no correction,
I just know that life's not so bad.

Picture this everyday kids that just can't find a way.
Stuck in disarray can't find hope for better days.
It's the degeneration of childgood frustration.

In the last 30 years
Teenage suicide has increased 300% in North America;
It is the second major cause of death in Canada.

Perfection is my direction,
Even if that's all I had.
It's not like I need no correction.
I just know that life's no so bad.

When will all my problens disappear.
Am I just going crazy from the fear.
Oh my oh my I'm going far past the brink.
This pressure's like a weight,
And I still can't think straight.

Perfection is my direction,
Even if that's all I had.
It's not like I need no correction,
I just know that life's not so bad.

I've met my destinations,
So what's left to complain about.
With all these aggravations,
Building till the seams fall out.

I'm running my mouth dry,
With every time I lie.
Don't tell me without a doubt
This dumbfound luck has all run out.

Perfection is my direction,
Even if that's all I had.
It's not like I need no correction, I just know that life's not so bad.

Still Waiting

[Chorus:]
So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in

Drop dead
A bullet to my head
Your words are like a gun in hand
You can't change the state of the nation
We just need some motivation

These eyes
Have seen no conviction
Just lies and more contradiction
So tell me what would you say
I'd say it's time too late....

[Chorus:]
So am I still waiting (So...am...I...)
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason (So...am...I...)
Can't find hope to believe in

Ignorance
And understanding
We're the first ones to jump in line
Out of step for what we believe in
But who's left to stop the bleeding

How far
Will we take this
It's not hard to see through the fakeness
So tell me what would you say
I'd say it's time too late

[Chorus]

This can't last forever
Time won't make things better
I feel so alone
Can't help myself
And no one knows
If this is worthless, tell me so

What have we done
with a war that can't be won
This can't be real
Cause I don't know what to feel

[Chorus:]
So am I still waiting (So...am...I...)
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason (So...am...I...)
Can't find hope to believe

So am I still waiting (So...am...I...)
For this world to stop hating
Can't find a good reason (So...am...I...)
For this world to believe

A.N.I.C.

F*ckin Shit!
You look like ass you smell like shit
so why are you such a dick.
You walk around like you're the tits
you always make me sick.
Bound for agony,
Your life's catastrophe.
You look like ass you smell like shit
so why are you such a dick.
You walk around like you're the tits

No Brains

Can't step in my way
head first in your love and dismay
It's like beating the dead (I guess your down with that)
I can't stop going out of my head
whatever this could be I'd never know,
I never said it'd be the end all to be all

I hate you today,
I can't find a way,
don't drag me down now,

[Chorus:]
Goodbye, I've had enough frustration
I won't get stuck
Goodbye, this dead end situation,
it's just not worth my time

It's no better today,
I never thought it would end up this way,
you've got something to say? (you got something to say)
don't wanna hear it if it gets in my way
All this confusion, wondering, so overwhelmed,
All this illusion seems so clear,
Can't find conclusion disappointing evolution
not all things aren't what they appear

So what's the point of this hell?
I know you too well we're running backwards,

[Chorus]

But waiting so frustrating, I'm so sick of
All this tension not to mention, I'm so sick of
Can't take it, you won't make it, just save yourself this trouble
(everything's alright)
Get down and pray for yourself 'cause I'm just fine
(everything's alright)

[Guitar Solo]

You speak for all of us when you can't be heard
(I can't help you anymore than)

I'll bet you haven't listened to not one word
(I have helped myself before)

You speak for all of us when you can't be heard
(I can't help you anymore than)
(So sick of, feel so sick of, so sick of, feel so sick of)

I'll bet you haven't listened to not one word
(I have helped myself before)
(So sick of, feel so sick of, so sick of, feel so sick of)

[Chorus]

But waiting so frustrating, I'm so sick of,
All this tension not to mention, I'm so sick of, sick of you!

All Messed Up

Another day wasted out of time
I can't get out of this
Altered state of mind
I'm going overboard
My conscience meets decline
Into Reality
I know this can't be fine

[Chorus]
Cause I'm all messed up
Making prefect nonsense
Drowning in my doubt too well
Cause I'm all messed up
Going nowhere fast but circles in my mind
So blind

Who are these voices in my head
I can't go on like this
Living like the dead
I haven't slept so long
Feeling sad I dread
I'm talking to myself
Forgot what I just said

[Repeat Chorus]

Well I hold my only enemy as closely as a friend
And I sold my own reality to further my descent

Self-destruction taking over it's so easy to pretend
Introduction to this nightmare they not seems may never end

Can anyone help me drag my heels
I'm running overtime
I can't hold down my meals
My mind is racing by
Staring blankly feels
Like pulling out my teeth
While this engine winds

Mr. Amsterdam

I've said this before no matter how hard I try.
I can't help be bored while this world passes by.

SO!

This revelation's got no meaning.
We've lost it all in hopeless dreaming.

AM I JUST LOSING GRIP??
Paint it black and just forget me.
THIS WORLD'S A SINKING SHIP!
'Cause our baggage is too heavy

I can't stop believing that there's something to be said.
What are we achieving with the bull shit that we're fed?
I know I'm not gonna stay, or live to see the day,
this world comes to be, here's a resignation from me.
A resignation from me.
A resignation from me.

I've said this before no matter how hard I try.
I can't help be bored while this world passes by.

Don't tell me we're close to something, that we don't even understand.

WE'RE PRISONERS TO OUR HOMES!!
Some might say we're all to blame.
THE OUTSIDE'S SO UNKNOWN!!!
I don't want you to complain.

I can't find the answers to save humanity.
I can't fight the anger.
Here's a resignation from me.
A resignation from me.
A resignation from me.
A resignation from me.
A resignation from me.

Thanks For Nothing

I'll never take part in the grown population
Or waste my time with further education
To get what we know, is just a big show
Where they want to control
So chained and frustrated
It's all so complicated
Fashion, no passion surrounds me

All I know is I've heard this all before
Reality's a bore (is a bore)
You ask me to believe it (never believe)
Something they provide
Can't bring myself to, do what
You want me to (want me to)
This is who we are and (who we are)
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change

I can't take part in the business revolution
Or take my chance in the real world confusion
Don't blame us, who do we trust when they're so dis-a-honest
No patience, this nation's obsessed with exploitation
Lying, denying surrounds me

All I know is I've heard this all before
Reality's a bore (is a bore)
You ask me to believe it (never believe)
Something they provide
Can't bring myself to, do what
You want me to (want me to)
This is who we are and (who we are)
Nothing's gonna change

(what!) Don't think you can ignore us (ignore us)
Don't tell me your word is right (word is right)
Don't pick a future for us (for us)
We lack 'cause we're involved!!

All I know is I've heard this all before
Reality's a bore (is a bore)
You ask me to believe it (never believe)
Something they provide
Can't bring myself to, do what
You want me to (want me to)
This is who we are and (who we are)
Nothing's gonna change

Thanks for nothing (I've heard this all before),
Thanks for nothing (reality's a bore),
Thanks for nothing (it'll never be the same),
Thanks for nothing (and nothing's gonna change)

Hyper-Insomnia-Para-Condrioid

Silence is ringing in my head,
Stuck on repeat.
Not much longer, I'll be dead,
So just forget me.
I'm losing my mind
And I don't think you could save me this time.

And it goes
On and on and I just feel helpless.
How long will this take to wear out?
On and on, when will I get through this?
Welcome to my own down and out.

I'm crawling deeper in this hole
To disaster.
I'm gripping what I thought controlled
What's falling faster.
I'm losing my mind
And I don't think you could save me this time.

And it goes
On and on and I just feel helpless.
How long will this take to wear out?
On and on, when will I get through this?
Welcome to my own down and out.

It's dragging on, I'm wearing thin,
I can't stop these walls, they keep caving in.
It's gone too far, where's my mind?
Why can't I stop fear this paranoia?

It's a never ending story
And it starts with me.
It's a never ending story
And it starts with me.

And it goes
On and on and I just feel helpless.
How long will this take to wear out?
On and on, when will I get through this?
Welcome to my own down and out.

Welcome
It's never ending (Welcome)
Welcome to my own down and out
Welcome
I'm falling further (Welcome)
Welcome to my own down and out

Billy Spleen

I'm heading for the end
on top of this bullshit I don't want to hear it.
I found my way again.
It's hard to explain it I know that I hate it.
I don't feel this could be real.
I find so hard
I'm falling apart
so much so much for what for what we said.

No matter what I say,
you turn your back away.
It's never gonna break you,
it's never gonna make you fall.
No matter what I say,
you turn your back away.
It's never gonna break you,
it's never gonna make you fall.

This fake reality
I never can make up the time that you take up.
It's my worst enemy.
I'm on a mission to feed my addiction,
so sick of thoughts so empty.
It's well overflowed
I'm bound to explode,
so much so much for what for what we said.

No matter what I say,
you turn your back away.
It's never gonna break you,
it's never gonna make you fall.
No matter what I say,
you turn your back away.
It's never gonna break you,
it's never gonna make you fall.

Somehow between the lines it's clearer
locked down and chained up to the mirror.
Somehow between the lines it's clearer
locked down it takes apart of me.

I'm heading for the end
on top of this bullshit.
I don't want to hear it.
I found my way again.
It's hard to explain it I know that I hate it
I don't feel this could be real.
I found so hard
I'm falling apart
so much so much for what for what we said.

No matter what I say,
you turn your back away.
It's never gonna break you,
It's never gonna make you fall.
No matter what I say,
you turn your back away.
It's never gonna break you,
it's never gonna make you fall.

Hooch

It's your last chance to find yourself in consequence,
So hard to find a simple reason.
Maybe I'll buy myself an evidence.
Hate breeds with nothing to believe in.

Another day, another day in paradise.
If you only knew, wouldn't it be nice?
Get away, get away, get away.
I'm about to detonate.

Everything to prove, nothing to lose,
Just when everything has fallen to the
Ground, going to knock it down.
Just believe me when I tell you it's alright.

This time, we're on our way to tragedy,
Forever bored and outside from the in crowd.
I've come to grips confronting my reality.
Numbstruck, it's me against the world now.

For all you know, for all you know it's not for real.
Spare me the obsession that you deal.
Get away, get away, get away.
I'm about to detonate.

Everything to prove, nothing to lose,
Just when everything has fallen to the
Ground, going to knock it down.
Just believe me when I tell you it's alright.
Everything to prove, nothing to lose,
Just when everything has fallen to the
Ground, going to knock it down.
Just believe me when I tell you it's alright.

I should've known right from the start
When you take this trust to rip me apart.
Could it be a change of heart?

I'll fall into you,
But don't believe that this is real.
I'll fall into you,
But don't believe that this is real.
I'll fall into you,
But don't believe that this is real.
I'll fall into you,
But don't believe that this is real.

Back to: Sum 41


Does This Look Infected? is the second studio album by Canadian rock band Sum 41. It was released on November 26, 2002.

The album's lyrical topics are darker than the lyrical topics on All Killer No Filler. Sum 41's vocalist/rhythm guitarist Deryck Whibley said, "A lot of stuff happened in the past year that opened our eyes to new things," Whibley said. "The whole last year has been really crazy around the world. There's been so much stuff going on and it's been so televised. I think we've all become more aware. When we were writing the last record everything was happy go lucky. Now this time we've seen a little bit more and our eyes have been opened up a little bit."

The album's lyrical topics include hatred, war, internal demons, disliking the world, suicide, drugs, insomnia and HIV. The song "Mr. Amsterdam" is about an embittered man. Whibley said, "'Mr. Amsterdam' is sort of about a guy who hates everything, very bitter person who kind of hates the world." He explains, "He's against the world." The song is also about the complacency of pop culture in 2002, the year that Does This Look Infected? was released, and technology that was new during the year that the album was released.

Whibley explained the meaning of "Mr. Amsterdam", saying, "We depend so much on new technology to make sure that we don't have to do anything. Everything's being laid out so we can sit at home and do nothing and never leave our homes. You can order all your groceries from the computer. You can do anything you want. You can just sit there and become fatter. And I think that's bad."
