 Song 162

Hey everybody, welcome back to the blog! Today's song is Stunner by World War Me. I had previously reviewed one of their songs, and really wanted to do this one. Because it's really fun, and catchy, and what pop punk should be. So let's get into it. 

There's no intro, so we'll begin with the first verse: "I've got too many problems, let alone the way you make me feel. You know I wish I could solve them, what's it gonna take to help me deal. You've got twenty one questions, without any mention of everything you thought you could conceal. And I've got too many problems, let alone the way you make me feel. Yeah I'm a bit of a psycho baby, I'm my own worst enemy. You keep me lit like a lightbulb, feeding off the pain and misery. Cause you were a bad B, I was a savage. Living off our own extremities, so we tick like a time bomb. Set to detonate eventually, little did I know. You were gonna get the best of me, God*****." It's a long first verse I know, but trust me it's really catchy. The way it's arranged it's really fun, it has like this beat that feels like there should be clapping on the track. The chorus: "Stone cold like a stunner, yeah she knows I'm a sucker for her. So bad but I love it, she could be the death of me. Cause I know that you're gonna, break me. And watch me fall apart. Just two faced lovers, waiting for the end to start." That's an interesting thought, I'm not really sure what it means, but I like how different that line is. The second verse: "I know that you hate me by the way you're pushing me away (away, away) Always try to degrade, take shots, clap back like a ricochet. (It's kinda funny how you ruin me) Cause you give and you take but you made the mistake, of not making it clear. And I'm struggling here, cause we fight and we f*** then we kiss and makeup. Yeah I think I've had enough dear. And I think I've had enough, it's all so senseless. I'm defenseless." That last part, slows down a little bit with the vocals. I love that. Also the struggling thing is real, (but I won't get into that now) The chorus repeats, bringing us into the bridge: "There's no point of faking a love so surreal, there's no getting better. (Then this next part of the bridge, changes the melody) First I think I'll drink Jack, then smoke, then yack. Then choke, on my vomit. Where I'll pass out on the floor, and you'll find me. Then I think that maybe just for fun, I grab my gun. And put a bullet in my head, this world's much better off without me." That's a dark thought I know, please if you're ever feeling like this, please don't be afraid to ask for help. Sometimes it's the bravest thing you can do, and also the strongest, even when you feel like you're at your weakest. Please don't hesitate to ask someone for help. So after that last line, they actually put in a gunshot sound effect. Which is kind if genius, but also scary if you're not expecting it. Then the chorus repeats again, ending with some background vocals. And a repeat of the last line "Waiting for the end to start." But slowed a little bit. Then the drums take one more little beat, and the song comes to a close. 

A really fun and catchy song, with some hidden messages here and there. A masterpiece. Well that's it for my first review of the month, I'll see you all next time. Happy listening.
