Join The Club
Bring Me the Horizon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I bend and I break all my promises
But now it's time for the truth
I keep my head in the clouds and I hope
That I can't just be invisible to you

Are you sick, are you tired, are you feeling faint?
Your lips are turning blue
I know you wish you were dead to the world
But there's something you should know

You're scared, I can see you tremble
Shaking like a dog, shitting razor blades
Feel love shadows like a stranger
Well join the club, yeah, join the club!

Do you wish that you could cut yourself out of your skin?
Well join the club, yeah, join the club!
Whatever the fuck it takes to feel like you fit in?
Well join the club, yeah, join the club!

Life is a song with no one to dance to
Same old shit happening and nobody knows
My heart is a dead horse, there's no point in beating
Just let me sink, let me sink into the fucking ground
Fuck it

You're scared, I can see you tremble
Shaking like a dog, shitting razor blades
Feel love shadows like a stranger
Well join the club, yeah, join the club!

Do you think you're the only one who feels the way you do?
We're all fifty shades of fucked up!
Well join the club, yeah, join the club!

I know I bend and I break all my promises
But now it's time for the truth
I keep my head in the clouds and I hope
That I can't just be invisible to you
I know I bend and I break all my promises
But now it's time for the truth
I keep my head in the clouds and I hope
That I can't just be invisible to you

You're scared, I can see you tremble
Shaking like a dog, shitting razor blades
Feel love shadows like a stranger
Well join the club, yeah, join the club!

Do you think you're the only one who feels the way you do?




We're all fifty shades of fucked up!
Well join the club, yeah, join the club!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bring Me the Horizon's song Join The Club address themes of mental health, anxiety, and feelings of isolation. The opening lines convey a sense of accountability as the singer acknowledges their tendency to break promises. They then express a desire to be seen and validated by someone, to no longer be invisible. The following verse takes on a darker tone as the singer observes someone who may be experiencing a panic attack or overdose, encouraging them to join the club of people who feel lost and overwhelmed. The chorus reiterates this sentiment, asking the listener if they have ever self-harmed or struggled to fit in, reminding them that they are not alone.


The bridge of the song takes on a nihilistic tone, with the singer questioning the purpose and meaning of life. They compare their heart to a dead horse and express a desire to sink into the ground. However, the chorus comes back with a message of solidarity, telling the listener that we are all "fifty shades of fucked up" and inviting them to join the club of people who share these experiences.
