The God Awfuls emerged out of a rather desolate and/or uncultured section of LA, a potential influence in their style choice.
Floating around between high school bands, singer/guitarist Kevin De Franco and bassist Kyle Lumsden eventually crossed paths and formed the base of The God Awfuls. A few random band members passed through before the groundwork solidified with guitarist Chris La Fave and drummer John Skelly. Luckily, the popularity of punk rock in their area and their keen attitude gave them a boost. God Awfuls songs are typical punk rock, but they have considerably catchy choruses. The God Awfuls became highly acclaimed to "true" punks, due to attitudes towards "fake punk" all over the place.
Their debut album Next Stop, Armageddon showcases punkrock, and one such song, Watch It Fall, is featured on the 2005 skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. It was produced by The Greedy Bros. (a.k.a. Blag of The Dwarves and engineering partner-in-crime Brad Cook).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
our bond was so strong,
age 15 we made the scene,
but girl where have you gone?
Could I say I miss you,
when you betrayed my trust?
When you speak my name,
do you ever feel like you're to blame?
sisterrrrr,
gotta get control,
you're a fucking mess,
fuck you and your trust, trust, trust, trustttttt,
keep your eyes on the prize,
you'll get it in the end,
the ethics that you how to be a friend,
could you say I'm sorry?
when you betrayed my trust?
Was it ever there, cause it's plain to see,
that you don't care,
trust NO ONE, trust NO ONE, trust NO ONE, trust NO ONE
sisterrrrr,
gotta get control,
you're a fucking mess,
fuck you and your trust, trust, trust, trustttttt,
ister, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister.
The song "Sister" by The God Awfuls explores the complicated relationship between two siblings. The lyrics suggest that the bond between them was once very strong, but now there is a sense of betrayal and mistrust. The singer questions whether they can even miss their sister, after she has betrayed their trust. The repeated phrase "trust no one" emphasizes the broken trust and the singer's desire to protect themselves from further hurt.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the repetition of the word "sister" adding to the emotional weight of the lyrics. The use of profanity throughout the song reflects the frustration and anger the singer feels towards their sister. There is a sense that the singer is trying to distance themselves from their sister's destructive behavior, even if it means losing her altogether.
Overall, "Sister" is a raw and emotional song that explores the complexities of sibling relationships, particularly when trust has been broken. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced betrayal within their family or friendships.
