Off With Their Heads (Acoustic) - "Clear the Air" Live! from The Rock Room

[@philh.5066]

2024 anyone? They say music is based on emotion and here we are and this masterpiece..... Thanks each and everyone involved behind this band and their life saving songs. Much love

[@dmac26official]

Been listening to WAY more OWTH lately.

[@vadermasktruth]

For those of us who have spent years in jails, rehabs & psych wards, this music speaks volumes.

[@SpiralDownRock]

Also for the people that act like everything is fine and want to jump outta their skin. Thanks for putting it into words

[@nogglebeak]

The most fucked up thing is that Ryan is mostly "better" now, but like, you can literally watch his evolution in song, and it mirrors most of our own as we go from 25 to 40. It's fucking crazy how well he captures it all in words. IDK if OWTH influenced my evolution or I just witnessed it in real time and it was the same for me. But it's the most cathartic shit out there for me.

[@colinmacquarrie9701]

Agreed as one of those people

[@lostthedog]

Exactly

[@rachelannbreen394]

AMEN

[@BreedersSyndicate]

As an older punk rocker I never got much into newer bands, “newer” - I’m old, and especially not poppy ones. But this band really impressed me lyrically and kinda squashed that stubborn bug for not listening to newer bands. thanks Mr Ryan Young

[@laughingman426]

I’m 34 years old and I’ve beaten depression thankfully and these lyrics still bring tears to my eyes......❤️

[@brandonwolfe5507]

May I request some advice on your victory over depression? You're two years (at date of writing) my senior. I'm hopeful, but really just want to shotgun face-lift all my brain meats through the ceiling. Thanks.

@@brandonwolfe5507 Hello, I heard a quote on the radio one day saying "suicide is a permanent, terrible solution to a temporary problem." And it hit home to me, brother. It made me realize that I had the power to change absolutely everything about my life. Not saying its easy in the least, but its 100% possible. And if you ever need anyone to talk with ill more than gladly give you my personal phone number. Or in any other way you feel comfortable reaching out. I also had a friend that took his own life and I saw first hand how all he accomplished was taking his pain and throwing it on everyone else. Im on my lunch break and have to head back soon and I truly apologize for how short this is but please feel absolutely free to reach out at any time ❤

[@brandonwolfe5507]

@@laughingman426 I'm so exceedingly grateful you'd reach out to me personally. My post was obviously a desperate cry for help. Also I can sympathize with your traumas, my best childhood friend took his life, and less than 9 months later another childhood friend overdosed. I don't know how to thank you, I'd really appreciate talking. My method of dealing with this is only exacerbated it. Lastly, that quote that you presented me feels like exactly what I need to hear. Much grateful to hear from you.

[@laughingman426]

@@brandonwolfe5507 absolutely man! I dont have to know you to understand you're worth fighting for. We all have the right to be happy and enjoy life. Even if thats easier said than done for some of us. I'm so sorry to hear about your friends. Like I said it only put their pain on you and their family and im so sorry all parties involved. Before I even say this I know all too well how how much easier this is to say than do, but just try to take it one day at a time, brother. I know for me what helped was finding a hobby to get into. Where abouts are you from, dude? And please don't be afraid to decline telling me if you're uncomfortable giving that info out.

[@brandonwolfe5507]

You're timing is immaculate. I'll elaborate another time. Man, I don't know I can thank you enough for this. Hit me up here [e-mail] and I'll give you my number.

[@TheyWantUSilent]

My soul internally screams the lyrics to this right now as im listening on repeat.

[@cotwoo]

Jesus, who can feel the emotion in this performance, truly amazing band!

[@420raulduke]

This song popped up on one of my Pandora stations a year ago or so, and it phuckin dropped me. Like 'I'm never going to forget this song 'til I die' kinda dropped. I haven't felt a hug from a song since Tom Waits The Early Years. Bravo.

[@zpugsnotdrugsz]

SO MUCH FUCKING EMOTION IN THIS PERFORMANCE!! I love this song!

[@paddyd.7137]

If it makes me cry, it's good. I cried a lot. Period.

[@christophschroeder8314]

I am searching for words....that is exactly how i feel in my bad and dark moments... down on my knees in the dark. I am so thankful for this song. Gives me power to know, that those feelings being felt by other people as well.

[@donaldschwartz1650]

Went through a divorce a few years ago and heard this song on the radio and it was exactly what I needed to hear 👂

[@nickb2510]

Retired army Sergeant here. I met Ryan in Tennessee at some dive bar where pretty much only punkers played. I think they were opening for the Menzingers. Ryan just blew them away or I should say I’ll put their heads, blew them away. He puts his whole heart in being into his music, and it shows on the stage

[@DUTTY245]

1:48 🥺 I got chills !

[@drewpydru420eed]

Never heard this acoustically. His vocals got much better. This song kept me from falling apart so I owe yal

[@petewadesays12]

I once wrote something "I'd hold my breath but I'd choke to death" but God they not only did it better......but this perfectly describes my depression and fear of abandonment. Thanks so much OWTH

[@jasonbrockbank6019]

Amazing! I can relate to this song way too much on repeat

[@tanisgentle3576]

Amazing voice and everything. Thank-you.

[@yolobathsalts]

[@danbrown4193]

My God what a song. Having bipolar this song reaches you wow!

[@MrSchliprySocks]

All I have to say is thank you.. From one Minnesotan to another. Much Love

[@StarBellySneetch]

I stated it all just like this and it made my life. thank you for your words. it changed and helped my life. 49 y/o asset manager ex touring punk who felt lost at sea for years. I hope you know how much these words meant

[@Stekiaeton]

down on my knees in the dah-ooh-ock

[@JAVIERCALDERON90]

I need this on Spotify to have it on repeat all day!! It really captures the emotion I’ve learned to play it on guitar and I won’t lie I get a bit watery eyed listening to it and playing it 👍this song is the words for my apologies to everyone I’ve hurt I’m sorry I was in a dark place💙

[@Journaling]

Just love the lyrics, it sums up my situation

[@uncleborloff6407]

Absolute perfection.

[@somebodyandthem]

The one guitar player did play the wrong chord one time but it was really good

[@uncleborloff6407]

[@rxbandit12]

Damnit I love you Ryan.

[@alamjacksom3523]

Yup

[@Kaneseb]

I want to look up the lyrics but I can't miss this.

[@bradymiller3848]

I really never feel happy and never feel safe I can’t ever let myself stay in one place... and you can’t imagine and you can’t compare no frame of reference so then you get scared..

[@michaelneal7079]

God damn .

[@michaelneal7079]

How these guys not selling out arenas?

[@Mraloucastro]

CLEAR THE AIR I wanted to tell you, I wanted to share Some important details that you're unaware of I want you to listen, I want you to care I'll choke to death if I don't clear the air It's not a secret that I obsess And then I get angry, and then I get stressed And you can't imagine and you can't compare You've no frame of reference and then you get scared I'm doing my best to help make you see That it's not your fault when I beg and I plead It's much easier just to go back to sleep But we've gotta find a place to start because I'm falling apart I never feel happy, I never feel safe I can't let myself ever stay in one place I look in the mirror and I see the face Of a failure who will never be significant The face that you see from the morning to night Is the mask that I put on to hide what's inside I don't take it off until you fall asleep I don't want you to see what lives inside of me I thought I'd get older and it'd go away But it only gets worse and causes more pain And being alone is getting so hard I just gotta tell you Goddammit, I'm falling apart I'm down on my knees in the dark Feeling for whatever's left But the pieces have fallen too far Goddammit, I'm falling apart I'm down on my knees in the dark Feeling for whatever's left But the pieces have fallen too far Don't leave yet I haven't gotten to the part that explains it all Don't leave yet I need somebody there to catch me before I fall To catch me before I fall Goddammit, I'm falling apart I wanted to tell you, I wanted to share Some important details that you're unaware of I want you to listen, I want you to care I'll choke to death if I don't clear the air right now
