Along with fellow California punk bands Green Day and Rancid, The Offspring have been credited with reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid-1990s. To date, The Offspring has released eight studio albums, one compilation, four EPs and three DVDs. They have sold over 34 million albums worldwide, making them one of the best-selling punk rock acts of all time. Each album since the release of their 1994 album Smash has sold over a million units.
Since the release of Smash, which is the best-selling independent label album of all time, The Offspring has achieved commercial success over five albums, with singles such as "Come Out and Play", and "Self Esteem". The band’s next three albums, Ixnay on the Hombre, Americana and Conspiracy of One, were also successful, with Ixnay on the Hombre and Conspiracy of One reaching platinum certification, and Americana achieving multi-platinum status. Longtime drummer Ron Welty left The Offspring in early 2003, and was replaced by Atom Willard. Later that year, the band released their next album, Splinter, to moderate sales and fairly warm reviews. In 2005, The Offspring released a greatest hits album and toured in support of the compilation. Their eighth studio album, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, was released on June 17, 2008 with the hit singles "You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid" and "Hammerhead."
Days Go By is the band’s ninth studio album and is due to be released on June 26, 2012. The Days Go By Songfacts reports that the title track was released as the first single and was premiered on KROQ on April 27, 2012.
2. Offspring was a short-lived English pop duo of the early 1970s, consisting of Mike Brayn and John Howard, who met at Hurstpierpoint College in Sussex, United Kingdom. They released just one single, 'Windfall' (1972). Their planned studio album was never completed.

The Offspring Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to forget my feelings of hate
Imagine beating on your face
Trying to forget my feelings of hate
Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it
I wish I'd never met you
You'll make me sick again
Feelings, whoa, feelings, whoa
Feelings, hate on my mind
Feelings, feelings like I never liked you
Feelings like I want to kill you
Live in my heart
Feelings, feelings like I want to deck you
Feelings like I've gotta get you
Out of my life
Feelings, whoa, feelings, whoa
Feelings, hate's in my eyes
Feelings, whoa, feelings, whoa
Feelings, you're not very nice, go
Feelings, whoa, feelings, whoa
Feelings, hate's on my mind
Feelings, whoa, feelings, whoa
Feelings, get out of my life
Feelings, whoa, feelings, whoa
Feelings, get out of my life
The Offspring's song "Feelings" is a bold and angry depiction of a person trying to overcome the intense negative emotions of hatred towards someone who has hurt them deeply. The song is full of violent imagery, with the singer imagining beating the person's face and feeling like they want to kill them. The core feeling that the singer tries to forget is one of hate, which has consumed them to the point where they are sick and filled with anger. The lyrics express a sense of wanting to get rid of these feelings, but they seem to be embedded too deeply within the singer's heart and mind.
The chorus of the song has a repetitive and haunting quality as it emphasizes the idea of feelings that cannot be easily shaken off. The lyrics tap into a universal human experience of grappling with strong emotions that seem to control us, even when we want to eradicate them. The song's tone is intense and almost primal, with the lyrics evoking a sense of urgency and desperation.
The song has a dark and edgy vibe that connects with its punk rock origins. The lyrics are relatable to anyone experiencing feelings of hatred or anger towards someone, particularly after a traumatic experience. The song's visceral imagery makes it easy for listeners to relate to and connects with our own hard-to-shake negative emotions. It is a powerful expression of the intensity of hurt and negativity that many of us feel at one point in our lives.

I took a sign language class in 6th grade, and our final exam was to choose a song and perform it in front of the class. Since this was one of the few albums I owned, and this was the easiest to translate, I performed it in front of my entire class. I NAILED IT. My teacher found the song offensive and gave me an F. The lecture she gave me about how violent this song is, in front of all my peers (including the prettiest girls in the class), still haunts me.
