Issues Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See a girl and a boy standing next to me.
And at this party I'll pretend, for a moment I just might have friends.
The chimes of them dancing to break free,
I've got them chained up loose so I can fit in.
I said be silent, no one can hear you,
You feel like I did when no one comes near you.
Like a carpet, the carpet your mom ruined making you pay.
What did I do to deserve this?
I forget that it's all part of my imagination.
I could actually pick and choose my loose ends,
And tie a knot, but all I do is,
Run and hide, it'll get ya boy.
Run and hide, I was born unaware
That my whole life would be a war, so I battle myself until I
Run and hide, it'll get ya boy.
Stupid is as stupid does, more like an off.
Spring of stupid is and always will be mad at luck,
But I just don't have it in my blood, blood runs deep,
When you're growing up with blood dripping from your ugly mug.
Cause Papa don't like you like Mama does, so give it up,
For the guardian angel dust, sniff it up.
Rub a little dirt in it boy and bare with me,
Just take a lead pipe into my kidney.
It's such a problem when people come near you,
It seems ironic that most people fear you.
What a shame that you feel so insane,
But the truth of the matter's your shadow is cold and afraid.
Did I fail to mention, it's all part of my imagination?
I could actually pick and choose my loose ends,
And tie a knot, but all I do is,
Run and hide, it'll get ya boy.
Run and hide, all I need is a friend.
My whole life has been a war, so I battle myself until I
Run and hide.
One after one, they'll all spin around,
And one after one, they'll all fall down from love.
Nobody ever gave 'em enough.
One after one, they'll all come around,
And one after one, they'll all fall down from love.
Somebody's gonna give you enough,
Somebody better give you enough.
The lyrics to Issues’s song “The Langdon House” describe a person who is struggling to connect with others and feels alienated. The singer is “coming out of [their] shell again,” but feels as though “no one’s there.” To cope with this loneliness, they imagine a scenario where they are socializing at a party with a girl and a boy. However, the singer knows that this is not reality and that they are “chained up loose” in order to fit in. The singer goes on to talk about feeling silenced and judged by others who see them as “weird and… stained.” Additionally, they feel crazy and as if they are battling with themselves.
The second half of the song goes on to discuss the singer’s past experiences and current struggles. They describe growing up with a “bloodied mug” and feeling unloved by their father. To cope with the pain, the singer turns to drugs and violence. They also express feeling ostracized by society and deemed “insane” by others. Despite these struggles, the singer still longs for love and connection, hoping that “somebody’s gonna give [them] enough.”
Overall, “The Langdon House” tells a powerful story about the isolation and pain that can come from feeling like an outsider. The singer’s struggles with loneliness and mental health are particularly poignant, and the distorted electric guitar, melodic bass, and haunting screams add to the emotion of the song.

I love the mix of guitar and synth at 1:50 - 2:00 . It's probably the coolest thing I've ever heard in my life.

Nick Spillert: Woulda liked the song to have like a 20second outro to just the mesh of that. (Toward like 1:55-2:00 when it was in sync), slowly fading out
Justin Drentlaw
God that synth lick in the intro is so amazing.
Nick Jones
Why on Earth did they not bring it back 20 more times during the song. 20 seconds is not enough.
