The Story So Far
[spunge] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ha, ha, ha, your just a bunch of ametours
This started as a total hobby, now it's more of a lifestyle.
Has been for a long while.
Got ourselves a beat up van. Attacked it with a few spray cans.
Practised in an unused garage then we moved to a farm site.
Man, it was a bombsite.
We could come and go whenever we choose.
So we put up with the leaky roof's,
And we sang.

[Chorus]
Na, na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na,
Na na na na na na.

Line ups been the same since the start,
Apart from our bassist. Had 3 replacements.
I think were gonna leave it at that.
Before it gets too spinal tap.
First, place we played was a hall,
And we got a gig somehow. (think it's shut down now).
Played to a man and his dog.
But we knew it would be worth the slog, so we sang

[Chorus]

Tried to book a show in any place that would let us play
(Think that's the best way)
People liked the stuff they heard, and they went out and spread the word.
It feels like the sun is shining, even when it's rainin.
You wont hear us complaining.
'Coz were doin what we love to do.
And we know it 'coz of people like you.
Yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah
When you start out with nothing, and then you build it to something.
Lovin it, lovin it, lovin it, lovin it, Hell yeah!
When you start out with nothing, and then you build it to something.
Lovin it, lovin it, lovin it, lovin it, Hell yeah!
This is the story so far, can't wait for the next chapter.

This is the story so far, can't wait for the next chapter.
This is the story so far, and i know it's far from over.

Overall Meaning

The [spunge] song "The Story So Far" tells the story of the band's rise to success from humble beginnings. The song starts with the sarcastic line "Ha, ha, ha, you're just a bunch of amateurs." This line sets the tone for the entire song, as it is clear that the band did not take themselves too seriously and did not expect to become famous. The band started as a hobby and quickly turned into a lifestyle. They got a beat-up van and spray painted it, then started playing music in an unused garage before moving to a farm site.


The song describes the band's dedication to their music, even when faced with hardship. They put up with a leaky roof and continued to sing. The line-up of the band remained relatively constant, except for the bassist, who was replaced three times. The band played in a hall for their first gig, and even though there were only a man and his dog in attendance, they persevered. They continued to book shows in any venue that would allow them to play, and people liked what they heard. The band's dedication to their craft paid off, as they developed a strong following.


Overall, "The Story So Far" captures the spirit of a band that started with nothing and through hard work and dedication, built something special. The song is an anthem for anyone who has a dream and is willing to work hard to make that dream a reality.

Empurrão forte, sinta o grande fardo
É o mesmo amor que eu empurro para longe
É a mesma coisa que eu sempre debato
Por que você me deixou aqui para outra?
Esses dias eu tendo a ver vermelho
Porque todas as mulheres nadando na minha cabeça
Não são as mesmas deitadas na minha cama
Mas eu faço o meu melhor para ignorar

Mas você ainda surge
Você ainda surge

Está tudo na minha cabeça, não há muito o que eu possa fazer
Você define o seu ritmo, eu vou manter o meu também
Cada vez que eu persisto, me sinto aborrecido
Confundo o seu rosto com alguém novo

Eu acho que eu devo a você quase tudo
Como a maneira que me sinto e a maldição que você trás
Você tem muita coragem de querer me ouvir cantar
Depois que nos jogou na sarjeta
Irritado agora como eu era antes
Porque alguém sempre está perguntando por quem eu faço
Mas eu não quero fazer mais por você
Eu faço o meu melhor para ignorar

Sim, eu deveria deixar você ir
Longe do cinza que nós dois sabemos
E eu não posso passar por Índio
Sem me sentir triste
E deveria deixar isso pra lá
Mas isso fica tão agitado por mim mesmo
Você não pode se orgulhar se eu estou sozinho



@muhammadirsad7463

Hard shove, feel the heavy weight
It's the same love that I push away
It be the same thing I always debate
Why you left me here for another
These days I tend to see red
'Cause all the women swimming in my head
Are not the same ones laying in my bed
But I do my best to ignore it

But you still come up
You still come up

It's all in my head, there's not much I can do
You set your pace, I keep mine too
Each time I chase, I feel dark blue
Confuse your face for someone new

I guess I owe you for most everything
Like the way I feel and the curse you bring
You got a lot of nerve to wanna hear me sing

After you tossed us into the gutter
Mad now like I was before
'Cause somebody's always asking who I do it for
But I don't wanna do it for you anymore
I do my best to ignore it

But you still come up
You still come up

It's all in my head, there's not much I can do
You set your pace, I keep mine too
Each time I chase, I feel dark blue
Confuse your face for someone new

Yeah I should let you go
Away from the grey that we both know
And I can't pass through Indio
Without feeling indigo
Yeah I should let this go
But it gets so hectic on my own
You can't be proud if I'm alone

It's all in my head, there's not much I can do
You set your pace, I keep mine too
Each time I chase, I feel dark blue
Confuse your face for someone new

But you still come up
You still come up

My wife and I have seen The Story So Far every time they have come to Atlanta for the last 3 or 4 years. People look at us like where are your kids and then we start jumping up and down and singing all the songs. BTW we are in our forties. Love the groups energy and the music. This has become one of our favorite songs.

My son was born with an immune-deficiency. Legit the hardest baby out of the 3 I raised. When he was like 14 months old, for whatever reason, this was the only song he wanted to hear. It was the only thing I found that would calm him down. 5 years later, it still puts him at ease.

Here's to Atticus. Daddy owes you for most everything.

@Vodka-182

You're a great dad. :)

@catmaksimus

It calms his nerve.

@mp-qz3pf

You named your kid Atticus good for you 😂
