While the band has existed in many phases - first as a solo project of Sam Ray, then as a two piece with original drummer Eric Livingston, and later as a loose collective of likeminded musicians & semi-permanent touring partners - the present lineup remains the first time there has been a dedicated and full-time group to write, record, and perform together. Innervated by this recent development, the members have remained hard at work writing and recording new music - their first since 2021, and the first ever that's been created in such a collaborative manner - and are looking forward to debuting much of it on tour in the spring & summer.
Lately
Teen Suicide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wouldn't pay a cent
To watch them play
I don't think they could write
A song to save their lives
I don't get the hype
Stand in a crowded room and
Pretend im having fun
Pretend to have fun
Lately i'm so bored
By people who
Aren't bored by people too
I don't know about you
But i guess it's just no fun
When i'm the only one

Despite being in a crowded room, the singer chooses to pretend they are having fun, in contrast to the band's failure to show enthusiasm towards their performance. The singer’s frustration towards the situation is revealed in the repeated phrase “Lately, I’m so bored,” echoing the dissatisfaction and boredom felt throughout the song.
The lyrics of this song convey how people’s differing opinions on music can lead to feelings of isolation and boredom when people feel they don’t have shared interests with others.
