Brand New - Good To Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have To Do Is Die Lyrics

I don’t understand why people are so critical of this song. It’s one of the best on the entire album..

most underrated song I've ever frickin heard.

Seems like you get blamed for anything these days.

This song is about being entranced in a toxic relationship

it's about Kurt Cobain

Etika didn't need the attention.

This album is almost 20 years old, and it is still as good— and still as relevant— as it was in 2003. It got me through growing up, and now it’s getting me through adulthood. I sincerely hope that some day they will know how many people they saved (and continue to save) with their music.

Sameeeee

Yes 14 years later and I’m like yesss I needed this , again

This song got me through a bad breakup in 2013, and here I am again. Still as relevant, Still as good. Sucks that I'm in this place again but at least I have songs like this.

"Once said, always said. I will hold the past over your head. I speak my mind whenever I feel slighted." That line hits me every time.

Reading '20 years ago' and then '2003' is giving me an anyuerism... Naw... I'm still a 15 year old... Ffffffff

Even through the time I have died, or tried to commit suicide I never got any attention. I got guilt trips and pity...

Depressed Bloody Emo Trash i feel u

I don't really think of this as emo suburb music, it's earnest, not a shekel grab.

Hey this is a shout out to the band. I first heard this song at the old abandoned shell station around here on Highway AIA and Atlantic Blvd. across from the beach, and when I bought it on amazon music I had it on my mp3 music phone. I got in there to this song and I told the man in line before me that this is strange it's like someone was here before me. But I had been pessimistic the whole time thinking something was in the back listening to me so I took off one ear of my studio headphones and I heard a faintness in the back. Not in the freezer where the beer is but on the other end where they stock soda pop bottles and useless junk. I still smiled when I heard what was back there. It was a blonde hair I had went to high-school with. I said goodbye to her, like the time he says in the last song before this one "Guernica." I will always think of that lady when I hear this ballad.

they changed the song name on spotify,...... lol

To what

“good to know for when I ever need attention”
Idk if they had a lot of backlash on it cuz it sounds suicidal but I really liked the original one

Their best song.

Take heart sweetheart, or I will take it from you. Felt that

all that good pussy on obt

Such a great song, all about how the record labels fucked them over.

Kurt Cobain

I wonder what other people are thinking when they hear this

that intro is CRAZY dark. when i first got this album i used to alway skip this song until it played while i was driving one night. beatutiful

"Oh shit, I forgot to call the lawyer again" basically lol.

My new favorite song to fucking ride to work tooooooo

High School memories right here

I've loved this song for years and only just realized it's like the relationship between an empath and a narcissist.

calm down

Good song, but terrible quality on the upload. It sounds like its coming out of a Gameboy.

I just got really good headphones (Sennheiser HD600) and the little intro leading up to the song sounds way cooler.

And also this album.

Im in love with the coco

The song's title sadly speaks truth

Stupid people saying stupid things. This entire lie is epic...

Degausser esque

Very underrated song

This song has so much meaning. The day I turned 18 I got “take heart, sweetheart” tattooed on me.

RIP john dunsworth, theres a shit blizzard in my heart

Intro (beginning 15 seconds) sounds the way a seizure feels

Nadia Zaleta dmt

weird flex but ok

I can't believe I just discovered this band by accident today. This really reminds me of the kind of music I used to listen to back in 3rd grade. Great stuff.

i used to think it was "they tend to have ears for two months rent"

Good to know if Linkin park ever needs attention all they have to do is die

Awesome this retarded comment has 8 likes.

It's a joke guys. Im pretty sure he meant it in good spirit

You have too much faith in humanity, MKMcNugget

Goon Mosh what's stupid is this isn't a joke, linkin park was dying out, becoming irrelevant, and people only knew about chesters condition after it was too late. Everyone who's saying that this is a joke, you need to take a better look at it before needlessly getting offended.

Asshole

im crying this makes me so sad because of how much i hate myself

You're never alone in that, try to remember that and I hope it makes you feel a little better.

It's only the title, song is actually about music industry.

Emo people

The intro punched me in the chest with emotional golden gloves.

hannah baker

sick album cover

dat guitar

Take heart, sweetheart, or I will take it from you....

I like the title of this song

@Tiare Mendez So do I

Could just be the obvious Hotel California homage, but does anyone else get a major 70's rock vibe from this song?

I've always thought the hotel part was kinda cool too

Forever a favorite 💕

How'd he made the sound of the intro?

I ♡ this song to death

+Joe Corte Me too.

same here 😍

why did you have to say it sounds like hotel California haha... cursed forever now!

+ivan lucero fuckkkkk ur so right !!!!!!!!!

ivan lucero i cant hear hotel california lol

This song moves me

Who are these guys? Why i have never heard of them? I came here after googling 'i am hellbent'..... Funny that i actually like this song..

LOW-KEY??? Blasphemy!

I stand by what I said, though I have been known to be blasphemous.  ;)

I love the happiness that is involved here, like Kanye or lil wayne, heartless cellphone song or some shit.

probably the most powerful song in the entire album imo

rockkiller124 they said twin turbo with hydrocarbon,they dont always say that

rockkiller124 the boy who blocked his own shot is imo

rockkiller124 I would have to agree. Heavy banger!

Tautou. Only 2 lines of lyrics but strong meaning. You can literally feel the emotion.

Play crack the sky. But this is top 3 for sure

wow this is a cool song, very progressive metal-esq

+Cory Urton what.. HOW?

Anybody else hear Hotel California at around 5:40?

@TheTurtleneck64 Wow, now I can't unhear!

This song gets very Eagles towards the end..

TheTurtleneck64 how bout the drummer?

TheTurtleneck64 wait until you notice "you won't know." Hahaha crazy reveal when you get the reference

@Fillip Traum I always thought this!!

Quite possibly the emoest song title ever.  

Its a tie with Box of Sharp Objects, but I think this one is more self loathing.

+. data7ust . it's a reference to kurt cobain's death and how nirvana's sales blew up after his suicide lmao

Read the fucking lyrics its about music promoters and managers sucking and taking their money.

The Used aren't emo they are post pop.punk

@Hubert C. what

this is my favorite Brad new song of all time

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6iv087Qqv1qbaj4uo1_500.png

I smoked pot with Brad New

Brad loves this!

good to know that if i never need attention all i have to do is die; its sad that this is the case for me, and too many others

quit self loathing bro, go make some music of your own.  Create, brighten someone's day :D

Jacob Ballard think if you die you eake up in another dimension or how about this we are in some drug addicts petri dish as a science experiment and god exists in all dimensions because there is a part of god in everything

Vincent Mattson whose your hottest uncle? does he have a car,is he a homeowner? have you seen poison ivy part 1 + 2...

5:23 - 5:48. Made my brain numb

That was some pretty weird shit.... But very good camera work :P

Our friends speak out in our defense.
Pay ten deaf ears for two months rent.
We burn their gallows they erect,
and cut the nooses they tie for our necks.
LISTEN TO THE *music* NOT THE COMMENTS

And slit the neck of soldiers while they sleep<3

Their best song on this album.

I try......God I try.

lol nice observation. real close but not

I find the carpet to be the quietest, but thats just me.

Does anyone pee on the side of the toilet because its quieter?

Safe to say even after 5 years we still do that

Lmfaooooo WHAT?!

Very trancy and mellow.

Hotel California solo. But who cares the eagles are irrelevant anyways.

"ID LIKE TO FUCK A ROCKET OUT!"

wut, god has nothing to do with this song, stahp

whoever wrote this song and if any of you listen to this song to find comfort you're looking in the wrong place, the only place you can get TRUE, PURE, EVERLASTING comfort from is the Holy Spirit, if you need help He's there to help, Jesus died for you to have a tunnel straight to God. we were created for Him so we need to seek Him in everything. God bless (:

Shut the fuck up who cares and why are you here

God lets children have cancer

Shut the fuck up. I'm fine. I'm a happy person. But God doesn't solve all of my problems. We live in a toxic world. God is fucking dead. Deal with it.

God of this world

God made his kid die for the attention, it all makes sense now!

brilliant.

so relevant. almost 10 years later.

Made a video set to this song. Check it out on my channel and tell me what you think.

Once said, always said.
I will hold the past over your head.
I'll speak my mind whenever I feel slighted.
I am hellbent on extracting all of my revenge.
Take heart, sweetheart, or I will take it from you.

wow...

you'd believe anything wouldn't you

a grown up would be able to understand the difference between looking at a picture and listening to music, trying to understand your logic gave me a nose bleed....

relax internet man, you certainly can't be a brand new fan with an attitude like that. this music is for grownups!

what if my speakers were muted and i just watched the cover of deja for 7 minutes and 1 second? ...i'd never do that to such an excellent song though

your "listening" to the song

i'm watching this song right now

oh yeah! so it does!

3:41 - 4:09 and then 5:48 til the end ... that guitar riff sounds really familiar

MizSabine hotel California

The album isn't called Deja Entendu for nothing

Thank you for that clarification

This is Brand New's best album imo, i love TDAG but it's not better than Deja

well anything is possible with a few hits of LSD

2:04 ... "I speak my mind, whenever I feel slutty."

He says “whenever I feel slighted”

The songs part of an ongoing conversation they've been having with Taking Back Sunday, back and forth, from album to album. They want to sound happier than the inspiration that Taking Back Sunday has given them. The whole album talks about being backed into a corner.... Deja Entendu means, already heard........ The songs might have themes that stand alone, but the underlying conversation is what makes each Brand New & Taking Back Sunday album unique.

Oh you!

Anyone know what the song is really about?

It's a picture with a song attached. Not a video.

Do you not?

Do you really sit there and stare at the picture while the song is playing?

Eff your semantics, don't get snarky with me.

The title is actually "Good to know that if I ever need attention all I need to do is die" but you tried at least.

yes it was. We didn't have computers so we couldn't see it but it was still there

aww y they no play this live?

did anyone else hear this on "Derder Nation" the paintball documentary. it was sick, got me back into airball.

@disagree11 I know it's fucking sarcasm. But is it really necessary? No, not really. It just makes you look like an imbecile to the rest of the world.

@cuppycakesandzombies Your sarcasm detector is broken.

@cuppycakesandzombies tell us more
