about

We typically prefer the non-literal to the literal--unless The Descendents are writing the song. Unfortunately, The Descendents did not write this song (but thanks to NOFX for not suing our poor broke asses for screaming those last four words!). Anyhoo, this song is pretty obvious, I guess. Enjoy!

lyrics

The Athlete
(york)

And fuck
this really sucks
I'd do anything just to see you again
and fuck
this really sucks
I'd do anything just to see you again
to see you again

The greatest catch my dad ever made
was of this skinny kid from Burlington
he reached out as if on cue
open air, car lights, a dusky hue

head smashing against the door
curves, burns, and not a whole lot more
stoic and calm repeated so many times
he'd made a catch he called it the 'catch of his life'


And fuck
this really sucks
I'd do anything just to see you again
and fuck
this really sucks
I'd do anything just to see you again
to see him again

metaphors and literalisms and punk rockers, too
aneurysms, strokes, they all came for you
so we will bleed this one out we'll bleed until we're due
like King David said, "I will come back to you"

"dying degree
gray anomie"

Dying
