LYRICS
Sometimes you wonder if we’re ever looking back
At a picture of two thousand nineteen
And saying “That’s the way, the world it used to be
Before our dreams started bursting at the seams,”
We’re out here and we’re ready
To livestream the apocalypse
I don’t care if it’s pretty
The view’s so pretty from the deck of a sinking ship
Everything is lit except my serotonin yeah
Everything is lit but my lightning bolt brain
Everything is lit…
But baby please I just need someone to hold me
Even though you don’t even know me
Oh I’m going neon in the night time
Oh
What a time to be alive
They say that I should try
Meditation
But I don’t want to be with my own thoughts
It never felt that much
Like medication
And I just want to be your cherry on top
We’re out here and we’re ready
We’re here and we’re ready
To livestream the apocalypse
And I’m going on and on and on
Make me like a charm on your necklace
When when when I said “Leave me alone,”
This isn’t quite what I meant
I got the quarantine blues
Bad news, what’s left?
So it seems the vulture’s getting too full to fly
Oh
What a time to be alive
Sometimes you wonder if
We’re ever looking back

"They say that I should try meditation, but I don't want to be with my own thoughts" God that hits so fucking hard.

[@notaburneraccount]

I swear! 😩🥲

[@peacefullyanxious551]

Ditto, but can we acknowledge the "when I said leave me alone, this isn't quite what I meant". That line was a gut punch

[@javihernandez2755]

The transition from Patrick falsetto to Joe solo at 2:40 might be one of the smoothest things I've ever heard. Just perfection

[@davidhouston414]

You're right! I hadn't picked up on that until I read your comment. That is really cool

[@dylanleafloor4822]

Fo sho

[@bochafish]

Fo sho indeed. Thanks for highlighting that, I went back too.

[@eggy3766]

Imagine: You are leaving behind your 2023 problems and just deciding to bop to this song with friends at the edge of a sweet summer day. Ah sweet, fever. Such sweet thing.

[@haileyjuliasuarez6988]

It’s spring not summer yet

[@eggy3766]

This is such a good song omg

​@@eggy3766 No... I choose to live in reality...and help provide and propagate solve to the coagula that societal pathogens perpetuate. Jesus Christ is KING of Kings! This is a 6/10 bop. Check out Vertebreaker by Part Time.

[@connor_phillipz5689]

This instrumental really reminds me of Earth Wind and Fire. It's so good. I see this being used in a ton of mashups.

[@chaeyoonnam3658]

same! and both songs are rlly poppy and cheerful but y'know the lyrics is kuch more deeper than the song's brightness in sound.

[@abbie3702]

that's exactly what i was thinking too! i can't believe we get to hear fob do disco. so good!

[@currymuster]

I can basically hear September and boogie wonderland playing in the background 😂

[@connor_phillipz5689]

I just listened to Patrick and Pete's interview with Zane Lowe and Earth Wind and Fire was 100% an inspiration and one that Patrick had to fight to keep. Lol

[@roxannepreza4897]

😱 OMG! It's true! 🙌😭💓 Now, i'm loving more this.

[@anime2006gurl]

Zane Lowe described this as a "doomdancing" song, and I didn't know how much I needed that word to capture why I love this song so much--because that's my entire mood. This is quickly becoming my favorite song on the record.

[@annibond8414]

I sincerely recommend the Mountain Goats if doomdancing is your jam rn

[@j2_zero]

'Everything is lit except my serotonin' is the new status in all my socials now.

[@TheCaturriChannel]

Just in time when I'm visiting my parents' house, being again in my teenage bedroom as an adult now and once again being absolutely excited about Fall out boy at 1 am it's like the most sweet deja vu that I ever had Thank you for still being here with us 💖

[@cli260]

Such an impeccable timing, know that feeling as well 💞

[@xxjestertheclownxx]

this sounds like an unreleased from soul punk and im so here for it

[@astralfaeriequeen]

Exactly! Maybe that's why it's so GOOD.

[@tommyoliver3767]

I still want a soul punk 2. But that will not happen

What a time to be alive to have a whole entire new FOB album,now this is what gives me infinite serotonin

[@MusicChannel-iw8wc]

[@GamesBeatGamer]

Amen

Soul voice! Just like Patrick said: What a time to be alive

[@Antonio_M_Walker14]

Favorite music from NHL 24!!

[@StormyProd.]

Same

[@JesseColton]

I can't believe it took them until now to release an album that actually feels like a true follow-up to Folie A Deux. This is the Fall Out Boy I loved when I was a teenager

[@cameronmoore2713]

Straight up! I haven't really cared for anything they put out since 2010. Never expected to like anything from them again. But several songs on this album slap!

[@unknownguy9578]

This feels like the 20 Dollar Nosebleed of this album and im here for it fr

[@STYLIX_]

Feels like the perfect ending music to a film

[@belensarayeliassantamaria5750]

The pandemicn "ending" song

[@jacobh6193]

This and Fake Out would both be perfect movie end credits songs for different reasons

[@ajanderson7014]

The view is so pretty from a sinking ship. We’re here and we’re ready to livestream the apocalypse. Prophetic……

[@krystynamrazeck5082]

I really think they need to release this song as a music video. I could really see this being a big hit even amongst non fob fans. It has a lot of potential to be huge!

[@PatrickStump_]

Hello, how are you?…. I really appreciate your comments,love and support. it’s nice meeting you here.

[@Brickfilmer125]

This song radiates so much poppy Folie energy. Easily my favourite from the album

[@philly_sports1558]

Best song on the new album. Absolutely incredible, guys.

[@colbystrayer2057]

I wasn't surprised when I saw your comments on flyers vids but it's quite the surprise seeing you here 😁 LGF

[@psychlops924]

I was not expecting Earth, Wind, and Fire on this album, but here we are

[@brockmckelvey7327]

Is this my new favorite Fall Out Boy song? Dunno, but I've certainly been binging it like it is

[@brockmckelvey7327]

It's definitely up there in the top 3

[@carcrashheart]

This song is GIVING me seratonin

[@chaeyoonnam3658]

this song definetely has a special place in me. it has popping bright sound (like 'dancing in september') but the lyrics are incredibly nostalgic, kinda lonely and sad. new FOB album seems keep on mentioning serotonin and that is rlly smthng i relate to as someone who lacks it and suffers from the effects mentally. I HOPE THIS SONG INSPIRES AS MUCH PEOPLE HOW A GREAT WONDETFUL THING IT IS TO BE ALIVE. Let us always be grateful and stay hopeful no matter what.

[@Snickerus]

Absolutely love this one! Some certain drum hits and note progressions reminds me of Patrick's "Bad Side of 25" :)

[@vinrevael]

this song is truly the "patrick special" and im ALL for it

[@meghansandberg4197]

I ravenously consume every single scrap of FOB content, been that way since Take this to your Grave, up to Patrick in Spidey and his Amazing Friends and now yall have done so so so well with So much for Stardust. Patricks voice literally resonates down to my bones, Andrew drums to the beat of my heart, Joe is the melody coursing through my veins and Petes words cut so deep it hurts. I love FOB with every scrap of my being, 🥰😍

[@wolftasticYT]

the soul voice is strong in this one omfg i missed her so much ❤

WHAT IN THE SOUL PUNK IS HAPPENING ON THIS TRACK? It's like Earth Wind and Fire had a love child with Soul Punk and I'm so here for it! Holy shit, I'm so thankful for this song bc I live in regret everyday knowing I didn't get to see Soul Punk live. Hopefully hearing this song live will remedy that ache a little bit. ;) Also, this song is such a mood. It's so fun and bouncy with just a bit of that crushing realism underneath it all that makes this song so perfectly real (very "Dance Miserable"). I can't wait to blast this cuz it's awesome. :))

[@juliomatos33]

Two years ago I had to face the deaths of my grandparents, and a very close friend who was like a brother to me, after all these months of therapy i'm starting to see the colours again in a world that was absolutely grim, i'm really glad FOB released this, matching my feelings and making me feel even more satisfied with myself

[@frozenandchosen]

This is THE song on the album for me, getting massive Folie vibes from this and I fucking love it just makes me feel so good

[@TrophySon1996]

so far the best track of the album, imo... the jive is cool

[@TRquiet]

This is the first upbeat “getting away from the pandemic” song I’ve heard that was not also super depressing.

some parts of this song really remind me of where did the party go. the first time i listened to it i almost expected the first lyric to go "im here to collect your heart" so at this point im hoping someone will make a mashup

YES one of my other post hiatus faves!

I would but I don't know how I fucking hate tik tok 😂😂

[@IloveHobbits1995]

FOB should make a music video to What A Time To Be Alive that's like, exactly like one of those dance workouts from during lockdown. Slowly heighten the contrast with the dance workout so you figure out when it is. Snapshots that flow into each other. Kids running in the background, pan to random kicked-out cousin staying in the garage failing to medidate, pan to husband delivery driving and scrubbing his hands every time he gets back in the car who touches a pic of his dad in the car, pan to dad in the hospital videocalling with mom, pan to nurse getting home and puts on the workout while she eats food delivery. But the nurse gets home, and home, and home, and it's snippets of different workouts until we're in present day. And the apocolypse is still going.
