Alkaline Trio Lyrics

I’m not a huge prickly bastard when it comes to song lyrics. I prefer the music side of a well written hook-filled pop-punk-emo-screamo-rock song with a fast beat. It’s gotta be high energy and I usually like a singer with a distintive voice. But the lyrics are a second thought. That’s why I can listen to some christian bands and enjoy them even though I’m not christian (contrary to popuar belief, there are a few good ones out there… The Wedding, Run Kid Run, Spoken, Underoath, Relient K…)

However, two bands come to mind that write witty and creative lyrics that stand out and kinda set the bar for creativity. |Alkaline Trio| and |Reliant K|. Today’s post is about Alkaline Trio Lyrics. Someday I might highlight some Relient K lyrics.

Alkaline Trio is a band from Chicago with a really big dark streak as you will see from these lyrics. They sing about the darker side of love a lot and also about drinking and feeling some major self pity. I don’t suggest you take the lyrics seriously, but I think they are interesting to hear and read. Some of these would be rated ‘R’ if they were a movie. You’ve been warned!

like my guts have dried up and died.

“I dont care who you’ve been kissing on these days
It’s out of my hands

I need a beer to wash it all away without a trace

And we fought like soldiers

Got a taste of you, threw up all night” – Crawl

Thinking of you wide awake for days” – This Could be Love
