LYRICS
It's a mad, mad world
tell me not to be so mad about it,
It's a sad, sad world,
tell me that I ought to laugh about it...
Funny thing is I'm the one with the cool head,
everything's fine if you pretend,
Bless this mess,
Hallelujah!
but I'm about to lose it...
Don't tell me to calm down,
tell me to calm down,
It's freaking me out that you're not freaking out,
Don't tell me I'll be fine,
even if you're right,
it's freaking me out,
don't tell me to calm down,
It's a mad, mad world,
trying not to lose my shit about it,
In a bad, bad mood,
maybe I should take a hit about it,
Any other day I'd need a hug like a teddy-bear,
Now the room's on fire, need to get some air,
Oh, bless this mess,
Hallelujah,
Thoughts n' prayers - So what? Who Cares?
Don't tell me to calm down,
tell me to calm down,
It's freaking me out that you're not freaking out,
Don't tell me I'll be fine,
even if you're right,
it's freaking me out,
don't tell me to calm down,
Drifting through this fever dream
in microplastic submarines,
your body is not yours it seems,
What the fuck is happening?
Don't tell me to calm down,
tell me to calm down,
It's freaking me out that you're not freaking out,
Don't tell me I'll be fine,
even if you're right,
it's freaking me out,
don't tell me to calm down

[@littlemisstentoes]

I don't think I've resonated more with a song before than I have with this one. Our feelings of fear, anger, hopelessness, and exhaustion are all valid. "Your body is not yours, it seems" makes me tear up.

[@Domozorro]

Our relationship does not have that, for me. Is that ok? I think some confuse love as a switch.. it's a natural design..it's your garden..get a grip on it. Take care of the water..

[@robreeto]

I'm on the verge of break up with a woman I have spent the last 7 years of my life with, we have a 4 year old daughter. I love her dearly but she wants other things, When Alex says the chorus it makes me tear up big time "Dont tell me to calm down, it's freaking me out that you're not freaking out"

[@Domozorro]

@@robreeto Loss is the celebration of passing blessings. Pass them on to our children, and help guide those who are ready to experience what you have had. Tears fall for you as I say this.. truth is hard, and beautiful. Be strong in gratitude of knowing what love is...sometimes, that's all we have, and it is plenty my brother friend. ❤️‍🔥🖖✨🍀🌀☯️♻️⛑️✌️🎶💪💯⏳🔥

[@MegaSonglover99]

Welcome to the fam 🫶 these boys are the best

[@Sarudth]

AGREE!

[@arggghh8055]

Lately, I had been depressed and tired because of how hard life is, but this song just hit the spot and motivated me to move on no matter how difficult life is.

[@terrellc2024]

Can definitely agree to that

This was wild at Wembley! Everyone singing along even tho it was released a few hours ago at that point. Hands down the best show I've been to 🖤

That sounds amazing!

Was also there. Loved it 🎉

너무 좋아서 요즘 하루에 몇 번이나 듣고 있습니다

[@zaicat6394]

If this song is an antithesis to T.Swift's "You need to calm down" song, I am here for it & I love it.

[@random-zz8ut]

as a swiftie and a hustler, this just made my day lol

[@DenDave_]

Im half convinced that this video is just an excuse to show off Zack's *very impressive* physique, and i'm all for it.

[@klam7018]

he’s the creepy but buff stud in the video?

[@shawnwick2328]

Thats what I was wondering. It doesn't look like him.

[@matthewgarrison4627]

Probably because this is one of their worst songs yet

[@savannah5333]

He’s the nicest one too, from Baltimore and have met them a few times. Zack is always so polite and kind.

Enough to make a grown man cry, and it's okay

[@hidey5324]

This song is so catchy. I really liked the atmosphere of this desperation.

[@xxinnamariana7507]

i heard the message. makes me respect ATL even more for calling out the problems of the world.

[@stryker1797]

For real. I gasped at the scene of Zack having an echography. What a bold stance to take in the West's current sociopolitical climate.

[@swagsavior7]

this aboutta be the anthem

[@AllisonReimolds-ol5pf]

This band saved me in 8th grade and continues to keep me sane. You guys rock !! Much love from Illinois ❤️

[@darksouls47]

All Time Low has actually confirmed my theory HAHAHA. I was wondering about the music video for Tell Me I'm Alive. Alex get's knocked out at the end of video, as he wakes up on a bed in the next music video of sleepwalking. He's trying to find a way out while that everything is happening around him. Now in this one, Alex wakes up from a coma for idk how long he was out from the bar fight. I'm starting to piece it all together, and I'm very happy with it!!! 😄😄😄 I'm sure we're gonna get some animated music videos once again just like Don't Panic had with For Baltimore!!

[@jasen.]

this is one of their best albums, up there with NP and DP

[@-PRUZ-]

An animated video of kill ur vibe would fit perfectly

[@PandaMom9230]

I think Sleepwalking is first because he passes out at the end and wakes up in the ambulance for Tell Me I’m Alive. He was in a bar in hell when he was thrown out and flatlined. While he’s flatlining, he’s still in hell but now with wings (because he’s dead for real this time) and that’s where Modern Love comes in. At the end of that video, there’s a heartbeat again, which then brings us into the start of the hospital scene here! But that’s just my theory!

[@heyitzphil9792]

This is all too real and it freaks me out too

[@mikaelamacht2453]

The way I cried when Jack was the last one 😭😅

[@ludmifletcher]

Ryan’s teeth’s finally have a part in this band

[@panjiealipis-wc8lz]

i was scared at those smiles then i saw the kittens and was like uwahhhh ~ atl so good all throughout the 20 yrs they've been around ✨🖤

[@otakuhime3119]

In a world like ours with wars, school shootings, people telling you what you can do with your body, people telling you what to be and what not to be, diseases, corruption. How are we supposed to be calm and smile through this craziness? Why don't we focus on fixing the problems? That's what I think of when I listen to this.

[@Magicmaniacc]

Well it is scary how calm everything is despite all the crazyness

[@lisakavanagh1172]

They played in Dublin last Monday and we got to hear this song before anyone else. It was spectacular live 🥺 his vocals were perfection ❤️❤️

[@lisakavanagh1172]

@@Bastiodon1122 I've seen them a bunch of times, in Dublin, at festivals, went to Barcelona to see them too. I've been a fan since I was a teenager, I'm 30 now lol. Still my favourite band. I'm so happy you had a wonderful time ❤️☘️

[@caylanwolf8780]

pretending everything is ok, aka "be optimistic", is the worst advice i was given, i suppressed my emotions and feelings, first the bad ones and eventually the good ones too, then when i saw what i became and that the world was a crap no matter what I did, I let myself feel again, the good and the bad, on the surface, I enjoy joy, I let anger flow, I allow sadness to heal me. They are all valid, why proclaim that they are bad? say it loud All Time Low!!!!! ♥♥ shout it out loud people!!!!!!

[@trapofonidrillore185]

Found this while listening to the song that’s called “Ricosur - Versace” 😈😈

[@queenpurple8433]

This music video is how I feel about the medical industry the last couple years

[@jessedewders]

This song really made me cry. I have been dealing with personal issues lately, and I'm apparently the only one who cares to fix a situation, everyone else says "it's ok" no, it's not ok.

[@robertagren9360]

Get on your feet and find people who want to fix things.

[@jessedewders]

​@robertagren9360 I'm trying..... 2 months later, this song hits sooooooo differently. I recently got an mri done to figure out what's going on.... turns out that I have lesions on my brain... I'm freaking out, meanwhile everyone around me is telling me to calm down, and that it will be ok....

[@jasonmunoz334]

​@@jessedewdershi that's sad to hear, I'm actually an MRI technologist before but I'm not sure if I can help you with anything but I will be glad to answer and talk with you . And sorry to be clear , I'm not flirting, I have a girl already, I like reading comments and to care for distressed is sometimes my hobby, because it's a commandment of Jesus in bible. To help the distressed. , I have a friend, and his lesion was inoperable, because it's in the medulla oblongata, it helps to control the heart beat, breathing and BP, and also having sleeplessness. I prayed a lot for him as in a lot. We became close because of his problem, and maybe he became close to a girl that will be soon his gf and because he went nightshift probably because of his sleeplessness, soon to be wife. He had radiation therapy. That was 8 years ago, he is getting married now, I think he became more funnier , he used to be grumpy that's why we aren't close before. That lesion was a blessing in disguise, God can move in mysterious ways. Just believe, believe me, recovery is not from your doctor's hand, there's no 100% from humans hand, God can make things impossible possible. Out of 7 billion people, you commented here to be found by a MRI technologist, this is not a coincidence, I should be sleeping already if it's my daily routine, Jesus is showing you the way, that he is the only way. You can free to ask me anything from MRI or faith. I'll pray for you Jesse. God bless you.

[@jasonmunoz334]

​@@jessedewdersjust to add up, my friend is feeling better now, the lesion is smaller, and doesn't grow anymore.

[@robreeto]

Exactly, im right there with you trying to fix the relationship with the mother of my child that i have been with for 7 years, ive tried everything, I've even started to diet and go to gym, lost 20 lbs, she doesnt care. Don't tell me to to calm, tell me to calm down, it's freaking me out that she's not freaking out

[@emilyjohnson7500]

I love that it feels like a grown version of there old stuff that's exactly what i wanted thank you all time low ❤❤❤❤

[@nicole-dp1xm]

absolutely amazing😍🩷🎶

[@ttaylor8239]

This is the most accurate song from 2019-202? 👍👍👍👍

bad world pretending to be great but is just fake and wants everyone to go along and accept it. Glad this takes a stand and says 'no'!!!! Right on time.
