With the Punches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(It feels like time is always running out on me)
I'm scared to death that I'm missing out, on what? I don't know man,
That's just me.
And I hate the way these nights,
Always fade into days
Where my better judgements nowhere to be found.
Can't pull myself down 'til I'm overwhelmed and swallowed by the sea.
Drag this life from me.
So much of growing up was losing touch for good with
So many old friends that I'd get bummed out if I had a doubt that they'd ever even notice.
And I hate the way these nights
Always fade into days where
My better judgements nowhere to be found.
Can't pull myself down 'til I'm overwhelmed and swallowed by the sea.
I'll fight the undertow that's trying to
Drag this life from me.
You won't drag this life from me!
Looking back had to be the black hole
On the calender this year. I
Pissed away another day feeling sorry for myself.
So I guess in retrospect
The fear of death and loneliness
Take a backseat or those bad dreams
Will become reality.
Can't pull myself down 'til I'm overwhelmed and swallowed by the sea.
I'll fight the undertow that's trying to
Drag this life from me.
I heard what you said about pathetic behavior and how it labels you,
But tell me how you're better off for selling out and giving up.
Get a life and then we'll talk.
The song "No Blood No Foul" by With the Punches delves deep into the fear of missing out, losing touch with friends as we grow older, and the struggle to keep up with life's demands. The singer starts off by expressing a sense of urgency to get out of bed and make the most of their limited time. They fear missing out on something but are unsure of what it is, and this fear drives them to stay up all night, watching the hours fade into days, and making choices that they know they'll regret in the morning.
The singer reflects on how much of growing up involves losing touch with friends and feeling bummed out at the possibility of never reconnecting. In these moments, they struggle to make the right decisions but find themselves overwhelmed and swallowed by the sea of life's demands. Despite this, they refuse to give up and let life drag them down. They choose to fight the undertow and keep living life on their own terms.
In the final verse, the singer seems to be responding to someone who has criticized their behavior as pathetic. They question the notion of selling out and giving up to live a supposedly better life. To them, the key to a better life is to keep fighting and not let life drag them down.

Don't judge me for struggling and showing weakness - it's not like you have everything all figured out. Live a little more before you criticize me.
