1 | [[Music/TheAllAmericanRejects This power-pop group]] has written plenty of [[TearJerker emotional songs]]. |
2 | ---- |
3 | * "Swing, Swing," the song that made them famous, is about as [[{{Wangst}} shamelessly melodramatic]] as a 2000s emo song can get, and [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools all the better]] for anyone going through a difficult breakup. |
4 | * "Dirty Little Secret". The song itself is emotional, with a chorus far from the standard love-song drivel: "Tell me all that you've thrown away/Find out games you don't wanna play/You are the only one that needs to know..." But once you see the video and everyone holding post cards up to the camera (with secrets varying from "[[HollywoodHomely I have more body hair than any woman should]]" to "[[{{Gayngst}} I had gay sex at church camp]]" to "[[TheUnfavorite I only love two of my children]]"), you'll be bawling. Or at least having soul pains from the fact that the ''secrets'' are real, even if the people are actors. |
5 | * [[BreakupSong "It Ends Tonight"]] |
6 | --> Just a little insight |
7 | --> won't make this right |
8 | --> It's too late to fight |
9 | --> It ends tonight |
10 | * [[BreakupSong "Straightjacket Feeling"]] |
11 | --> Today I'm fine without you |
12 | --> Run away this time without you |
13 | --> And all the things you put me through |
14 | --> I'm holding on by letting go of you |
15 | * [[BreakupSong "Another Heart Calls"]] |
16 | --> '''Tyson:''' I'm sorry |
17 | --> '''Allison:''' So what? |
18 | --> '''Tyson:''' But you don't think I've said enough |
19 | --> I'm sorry |
20 | --> '''Allison:''' I don't care! |
21 | --> You were never there! |
22 | * [[BreakupSong "Breakin"]] |
23 | --> In a clear view there's a silhouette |
24 | --> And I watch you and I can't forget |
25 | --> Knew we were done when I locked that door |
26 | --> Yeah I figured it out now |
27 | --> Breaking's what your heart is for |
28 | * [[GriefSong "Believe"]] is this and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]]. |
29 | --> I don't ever wanna believe |
30 | --> No I don't ever wanna believe, yeah |
31 | --> that when we die |
32 | --> that we all leave |
33 | --> I don't ever wanna let go |
34 | --> I hope that you see, yeah |
35 | --> that there's a part of you that's left inside of me |
36 | * "Heartbeat Slowing Down" |
37 | --> I fucking hate this town |
38 | --> I wanna burn it down |
39 | --> I never felt so cold |
40 | --> And when I burn this town |
41 | --> I hope I burn it down |
42 | --> and leave me on my own |
43 | * "Drown Next to Me" is mostly [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]], but the dark metaphors put it in this section. |
44 | --> I walk in the water 'cause I can hardly breathe |
45 | --> We can leave the ones who love us |
46 | --> You’re all I ever need |
47 | --> We’ll tell each other lies |
48 | --> that I know we’ll both believe |
49 | --> Just sand in the water |
50 | --> Drown next to me |
51 | * "There's a Place" is about childhood friends ([[AllLoveIsUnrequited with the narrator in love with his friend]]) growing increasingly distant from each other as the narrator sings about the inevitable. |
52 | -->In your heart, that's where I'll always be |
53 | -->Now close your eyes and I will never leave |
54 | -->It's funny how I see us hand in hand |
55 | -->I miss you already, understand |
56 | -->That I know that you aren't ready |
57 | -->But you don't get to pick the day |
58 | -->That the worst one in your life will land right on |
59 | -->I can hear you beg for more |
