I Don't Like You Whatsoever
Major League Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's getting harder to keep my head afloat
Flares to the Coast Guard I'm sending out my S.O.S
Hold Fast! We're sinking deeper this time around
These lines are tangled and I can't get out
It started you and me but now they're calling for mutiny
The boats abreast and now you're ready to jump ship
I'll walk the plank with my blindfold tied
I'll never make it out of this storm alive
One Two Three Four! Hold my breath and take the dive
Abandon ship Abandon what we've left behind
I hate you all, I'll see you on the other side
[x2]
We watched this ship sink deeper and deeper
Now that the storms passed the skies are getting clearer
Crawled ashore, I look up towards the sky
I can't believe I made it out of this alive
Crawled ashore, I look up towards the sky
I can't believe I made it out of this alive.
"I Don't Like You Whatsoever" by Major League is a poignant song that speaks to the complexities of relationships and the power dynamics that come into play during difficult times. The song begins with the singer feeling overwhelmed and outmatched, as if they are swimming with sharks that threaten to consume them. The metaphor is apt, as it conveys the sense of danger and constant tension that the singer is experiencing.
As the song progresses, we learn that the singer is not alone in their struggle. They are in a relationship with someone who has become indifferent to them, and may even be actively working against them. The lines are tangled, and the singer cannot find a way to extricate themselves from the situation. They feel as though they are being held captive by their own emotions, powerless to change the course of events.
The lyrics take a dramatic turn when the singer decides to take action. They acknowledge that they will not survive the storm if they continue to cling to the past. They must abandon the ship and all that it represents, even if it means saying goodbye to the people they once cared about. The final lines of the song are bittersweet, acknowledging the pain of the past while also celebrating the fact that they have made it through to the other side.

Easycore: Pop/punk mixed with heavy guitar, fast drums, and kick ass breakdowns, occasional screams, along with the extremely common group chant. And it is fucking amazing. Love these guys!
@RawrRachelRaptor
Okay this is one of the few newer pop punk bands that actually kept to the roots of pop punk and don't sound like a completely different genre of music, while still calling their band "pop punk" and this makes me really happy that I finally found a newer band I can enjoy.
