AJR - Humpty Dumpty (Official Audio)

“HUMPTY DUMPTY” FROM OK ORCHESTRA OUT NOW: AJR.lnk.to/oko...
Lyrics:
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
imma smile right through it
And I’ll scream when no one’s around
Something’s wrong
But I’m scared to look it up
If I do that
And no one has it
I’ll feel so alone
Something’s wrong
But don’t pity me for long
If you get sad
Then I’ll feel bad
That I told you at all
I got friends in a lotta weird places
Wonder if they’re gonna call
Depending what my face is
What my face is
I could fake it
I could move away or I could
Suck it up and face it
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
imma smile right through it
And I’ll scream when no one’s around
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
There’s a big crowd looking
Imma scream when no one’s around
Look outside
They’re making snowmen on your street
Underneath your pillow
You can sigh yourself to sleep
Look outside
They’re making snowmen on your street
Hide behind your pillow
Close the window
Cause you know you can’t be seen
I got friends in a lotta weird places
Wonder if they’re gonna call depending
What my face is
If I can’t breathe
Then you can’t see
But aren’t you excited that I’m giving you
The best me?
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
imma smile right through it
And I’ll scream when no one’s around
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
There’s a big crowd looking
Imma scream when no one’s around
If I try
To keep my tears in my eyes
Would you like me
Would you like me
Would you like me
I got shows in a lot of weird places
Wonder if they’re gonna come depending
What my face is
Remember Vegas
I can’t take another panic episode
When I get off the stage, man
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
imma smile right through it
And I’ll scream when no one’s around
Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty
When Humpty Dumpty went down
He said screw it
There’s a big crowd looking
Imma scream when no one’s around

I've been depressed for the last 7 months or so, and although there's been a few bright spots, most of it has been very dark and hopeless. For the last month, however, I've been completely numb. For me, it's been much scarier to not feel something when you know you should than it is to feel depressed. For the first time in a month, I've felt an emotion, thanks to this song. This is a perfect example of why I like AJR better than 99% of other artists. Their songs convey emotions, and they actually have a message behind their catchy af beats. Thanks you

this is an album that expresses how people keep saying they're ok even though they really aren't. it's also reflected on the album cover, on the left side is how you want others to see you that you're fine, ur all bright and wonderful and on the right side is you're true feelings where everything seems so void of emotion. the songs are upbeat because they're trying to hide how the lyrics are actually sad and far from happy at all. nothing to see here just another episode of ajr making me feel emotional and vividly aware of my thoughts and feelings all of a sudden

[@ihavenocluewhoiamreally9668]

One of my favorite things about this song is that in some points of the song you can hear the desperation in Jack's voice, almost like a cry for help (1:49 , 2:54) If you listen to it, you can hear that he's almost scream-crying the lyrics. Like he's actually been through everything he's talking about. I really hope Jack is okay. It sounds like he sung it like that, not to make it sound relatable, but it sounds like pure raw feeling. It sounds like he's about to have the panic attack he was talking about.

[@marijakovacevic52]

You’re completely right. AJR confirmed that both this song was from jacks pov,just like karma,and that he does indeed suffer from panic attacks and anxiety. In Ryans direct words: “its about jacks struggle with showing his feelings as a regular person,yet balancing his life as an artist. Do you cry in front of people,or does that ruin the magic? It even adresses his struggle with anxiety and a panic attack he had on stage. It was a very vulnerable moment” I really do feel bad for them sometimes

I wish you strength and healing, and I hope you feel comfortable enough to seek help if you feel it’s needed. Take good care of yourself. ❤

Youre not alone. Keep your head up, and get through every day, one at a time. You have support!

[@Exilir8]

I know I don't have any issues. But.... The line "He said screw it, I'ma smile right through it and scream when no-one's around." is genuinely the day-by-day rule I have for myself. Being sad makes other people sad. It makes you less fun to be around. I always want social interactions every day, but sometimes it can get so overwhelming to 'fake a smile' (Bit exaggerated here), and stop yourself from showing obvious signs of sadness. I'd rather have people think I'm always happy, than always sad. I'm now beginning to think that might've been a mistake.

[@courtney5686]

"I can't take another panic episode when I get off the stage, man" reminds me of the first panic attack I ever had. I was in Nashville performing with my high school concert band and I had a bad panic attack the day after we performed. It's been quite the ride and I've had many more panic attacks since then, but I've learned to control them. Thanks AJR, your art has helped me through so much.

[@friendlyneighborhoodghost1317]

For everything in this album I listened to it at base value and went “huh”. Then I would give it another try and realize that ajr not only knows exactly how my brain works, but also exactly how to represent it to me in song. A lot of people said that this song is about depression and suicide but I think that at least to me, it represents how I don’t want to trouble other people with my problems. In the event that they would try to fix me like how I try to fix everybody else.

being a perfectionist/people pleaser/ therapist for all my friends, this song perfectly encapsulates all the pressures i feel on pretty much a daily basis. i feel like i’m putting a burden on anyone i tell my problems to, so i keep them all to myself and then i feel worse, and i’m super stressed/pressured from school,but i put on an act of happiness. this song is my favorite song by far.

"I could fake it I could move away or I could Suck it up and face it" is so catchy

[@artanimeandothershtuff965]

I didn't realise it until now, but I think I've figured out what the best line of this song is. It first appears in the first few measures of the song. "Okay." It comes right after the first "he said screw it I'mma smile right through it and I'll scream when no one's around". When you first listen to the song it just sounds like a sound that they put in during production to fill space (and it might be). But I think that it has a deeper meaning. It's about the way people will just fake a smile and, even when it's glaringly obvious that they're hurting anyway, society will turn a blind eye to their pain. I think that everybody has done this at some point, and has probably had it done to them. We've all watched somebody in pain, seen them flash a smile and say it's all good, and then walked away. Most of us have probably had someone tell us their woes, and it's clear that they need help. Sometimes we're the ones to give it to them, but often we'll just laugh it off because we're too scared to do so, and they don't want to ask for help outright. On the other hand, everyone has also had this done to them - and have been grateful for it. Because, to be honest, it's scary to ask for help. There's always the fear of being shunned, or being told that you're overdramatic, or realising that you didn't need to be scared in the first place, and feeling stupid for it. When you ask for help you have to confront your issues, which is one of the scariest things in the world. It's scary to help people, too, because then you could mess up, and hurt them more. Or maybe you won't know what to do when it matters, and you'll feel stupid and you won't even have been helpful. Then, the song just continues on, just like the world keeps moving no matter what happens in it. Even if you're hurting, even if you're struggling, even if you just had a life-changing interaction (not necessarily for you, though), the earth keeps spinning. Everybody has to go on to the next verse. In short, it's about how people will just say "ok" to the fucked-up-ness of the world. oooooorrr maybe I'm overanalyzing and it has absolutely no significance. who am I to say? anyhow, sorry for the long comment. I hope this didn't make anyone sad. if you got this far, have the best day you possibly can and get yourself something nice. here's a heart for you if you don't feel like finding someone to hug right now
