I'd be willing to be a lot of money that this person is a NOFX fan. These were the people yelling at you to "stay the fuck home" during "two weeks to slow the spread." These are the people who reported you on social media during Joe Biden and Mark Zuckerberg's censorship of social media, and had you banned from groups you used to enjoy. These are the people who moderate the reddit subs you used to enjoy participating in until you were banned for having an opinion they disagreed with. These are the people getting paid to stand out in the street on behalf of George Soros to give a false appearance of rebellion in our country. These are the people calling you racist. These are the people cheering the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and who would've been cheering the assassination of Donald Trump, if he didn't just happen to turn his head at the right moment. Is it starting to make sense now? The modern Democratic party has been co-opted by foreign intere...
"My friends look forward to Friday night, but I am anxious for the weekend fights."
"Saved By Hell" is possibly one of Millencolin's darkest songs. It's a song about witnessing domestic abuse occurring in your own household. It could be between two parents, or a parent and a sibling, or maybe it's an abusive Aunt, Uncle, or maybe some other dynamic. The main character in the song doesn't appear to be the primary focus of the abuse. So I can only assume that the song is about a child in a house with two parents who are headed for divorce. But domestic violence can have a big impact on even those who aren't targeted.
I knew a guy who grew up watching his mother verbally and physically abuse his older sister. His father worked nights and often wasn't around. So it was up to a teenage boy to intervene when he could, or try to cope when he couldn't. I can only imagine how the guy's sister was affected because I know my buddy was pretty scarred by it and endured a lot of abuse from his mother as well. He would spend hours at my house or another friends house after school and would often mention that he didn't want to go home.
I remember him talking to me one week when it was really bad. He had to call his father late at night crying in tears begging him to come home from work and make his mom and sister stop fighting. He felt absolutely helpless when his father told him he couldn't come because he had already left work two days in a row for the same situation. There's no way that his father could leave a third time in three nights without impacting his job.
"You'll just have to hang in there and handle it, son." his father said.
I had another friend when I was in elementary school who lived with his single
mom at his Aunt and Uncle's house. His mom worked full-time, while his Aunt was a
stay-at-home mom to his one year old Nephew. It seemed like every time I went over to that buddy's house, I
was never able to stay for longer than twenty or thirty minutes before
his Aunt would call him into the other room for a moment. He would
always come back rubbing a red and swollen cheek, hiding back tears,
telling me I need to go home because his Aunt was mad.
Men get a bad rap as deadbeats who abandon their families, and rightfully so when that's the case. But a toxic or unhealthy woman can have just as damaging of an impact on her family as well, in some cases more-so.
Some kids go to school in fear of bullies, while some kids go to school to escape them.
I've included the outro "End Piece" because it is the track that immediately follows "Saved By Hell" on the album Machine 15.
I think that it's a good instrumental piece that helps to emphasize the
somber tone of the final song, and leaves the listener with a "moment
of silence" ( or perhaps more like a "moment of static") of sorts to
digest what they've just heard. In my opinion, it works incredibly well.
It's a great contrast to what is otherwise an album full of positive
vibes. Not unlike a comedian who smiles and makes others laugh on the
surface, but inside is deeply troubled.
