The Story So Far Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No there's no chance at all.
Came here against my will,
And my will's tested strong.
Until now, I know we've never met
But I don't wanna talk and I'm already upset.
That you'll meet your demise in a drunken man's bed.
And to think that you're somebody's daughter.
Away at college not getting smarter.
Everything changes when all the lights in the room are as low as you,
But don't trip you'll sober up soon.
Regain an honest perspective as you puke on the floor.
Can't remember why your knees are so cut up and sore.
And you'll be hung over again. (again! again!)
You'll be hung over again. (again! again)
You'll be hung over again. (again! again)
You'll be hung over again. (again! again)
You'll be hung over again. (again! again)
The Story So Far's song Daughters speaks of the dangers and consequences of excessive drinking and partying, especially for young women. The opening lines address the listener's potential objections, indicating that there is no chance for a change of mind on the subject. The singer then goes on to describe a young woman who is away at college and drinking heavily, and the negative impact this is having on her life.
The line "that you'll meet your demise in a drunken man's bed" is particularly striking, as it suggests a very real danger faced by women who drink excessively and may not be in control of their surroundings or decisions. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "you'll be hung over again" drives home the idea that this lifestyle is not sustainable and has negative consequences that can't be avoided.
The song as a whole is a cautionary tale, urging listeners to reconsider the choices they make while partying and drinking. It is a reminder that we all have responsibilities to ourselves and to others to stay safe and make good choices, especially when under the influence.

Before you twist your tongue,
Before you say something that you regret
No there's no chance at all.
There's no chance of us being together
Came here against my will,
I didn't want to come here
And my will's tested strong.
I'm resisting the temptation to give in
Until now, I know we've never met
We've never met before
But I don't wanna talk and I'm already upset.
I don't want to talk to you and I'm already angry
That you'll meet your demise in a drunken man's bed.
You'll sleep with someone you regret while drunk
Take another pull to make certain you forget.
Drink more to forget what you did
And to think that you're somebody's daughter.
It's sad to think of your parents and how they would feel
Away at college not getting smarter.
You're not focusing on your studies
Everything changes when all the lights in the room are as low as you,
Everything looks different when you're drunk
But don't trip you'll sober up soon.
Don't worry, you'll sober up eventually
Regain an honest perspective as you puke on the floor.
Throwing up might help you realize what you've done
Can't remember why your knees are so cut up and sore.
You don't remember how you got injured
And you'll be hung over again. (again! again!)
You'll feel sick from drinking too much again
You'll be hung over again. (again! again)
You'll feel sick from drinking too much again
You'll be hung over again. (again! again)
You'll feel sick from drinking too much again
You'll be hung over again. (again! again)
You'll feel sick from drinking too much again
You'll be hung over again. (again! again)
You'll feel sick from drinking too much again

@benjaminwatt2436
how is this pop-punk. its either hardcore or just punk
@jasonviolante1113
@@benjaminwatt2436 just tell us your 14 without telling us buddy
@cxssetteman182
@Benjamin Watt It is Pop-punk, and you got it right.
This 2010s era of Pop-punk was heavily influenced by Hardcore.
While in the early 2000s, the only band that came out of the hardcore scene we're New Found Glory and Saves the Day.
You got it on point, although this is still Pop-punk, since Hardcore is a bit heavier than this
@Horizons916
This is one of the best pop-punk best I've ever heard. This needs waaay more views.
