"Bastard Son" lyrics
Daddy where did you go when I was five years old?
A newborn sister left crying in her crib
Now with this shiny blade and slicing not maim
My heart or relationship to you
I have become the bastard son
The joke of everyone
The failure I’ve become
Now it takes a lot to go hell
Got one life so better live it well
These words are rushing through my mind
You turned your back on all your kids
Just look at what you did
Just another bastard son like me
I have become the bastard son
The joke of everyone
The failure I’ve become
And you’ve failed all your kids
An eternity of blind hate flows from your diamond rings
And the souls you smoked mock your face in hell
Lies they are coming back to life
They’re coming back to me
The revenge of a five year old boy

My new MySpace playlist about to be lit.

[@codyjewell1460]

I'm about to make a new Myspace just for this song.

30 year old me feels young hearing this again. Love from the UK.

[@Hiddeninplainview117]

I'm 30 too and a long time Senses Fail fan!

[@Benzo2207]

Same! Listening in my office now, the emo side in me will never die!

[@zM00Nx]

We got old boys

[@user-uq5jy8uv5o]

30 is not old by the way

[@bringmethatbeat]

Feel exactly the same, hope they bring this to the UK too!

[@Wilbrown89]

31. Never met my father, never met my bio sibling. Beaten and abused for four years before being adopted. Proud father of 3. Proud bastard son. My kids will never relate to this song.

[@Wasteofspace6]

Love this! Stay strong ❤

[@Generic_Drummer]

I’m so happy you guys are still together. If it wasn’t for your music, I wouldn’t be alive.

[@yamatodelatorre3261]

Likewise. Glad you're still here man.

love these comments

[@eonnieuwoudt2573]

Now as a 33 year old, life makes more sense listening to this.

[@eonnieuwoudt2573]

@Rhodium Mantis Computer & Toaster Oven Yeah dude, I just finished an evening with my parents, I just again realised how much resentment there was. They are just to ignorant to accept responsibility. As a father, I'll set a better example as them.

[@ichiban_KO]

Wait what? Am I back in 2004!?! This song was my shit!!!!! Senses Fail will forever be one of my favorite bands!

They are re imagining the whole depths of dreams album

[@goonholiday656]

I am so happy this band loves on with their original sound

[@brianmoore1104]

Man, that song still hits hard in 2021

[@blues713317]

And in 2024!

[@andycruz6442]

met Buddy at warped years back, was the first time i have ever actually been starstruck and couldn't find the words to speak. thankfully my best friend at the time was able to say, "Sorry, he just really looks up to you." Buddy signed my SF hoodie and i was able to at least find the words, "thank you." as he gave me a big bear hug.

[@mercyortega5848]

Thats the most wholesome thing I've ever read!

[@DJKNITEX]

the remake not bad; sounds like the original; can't wait for the EP and probably the LA show

[@TonedMars]

All the 30 year olds out there with daddy issues, you’re not alone. Things will get better. Stay positive. Listen to Senses Fail.

[@steviet323]

It’s 2003 all over again. I love it.

[@vidaladventures]

Feel so sad everytime I listen to their music. I love them. The sadness of poety

[@cleangoblin2021]

This is more than a farcry of them. If this was released during the height of their fame, this would be everywhere. It's a great song and im glad i have good taste in music

[@momentifilmsUK]

I agree. If this came out 2004, it could arguably be as big as Sugar We’re Going Down- the same key, tuning and very similar chords. If not, at least on Fuse, MTV2.

[@blues713317]

God damn, this song is forever stuck on repeat. Long live SF! ❤

[@Childguy26]

I’m so glad they re-recorded this and finally put a music video, ahhhhhhh freshmen year all over again 🤘🏼

[@grobordel9780]

Senses fail will be one of ;y favorite band forever

[@jasonhutson8584]

I love that this songs official now.

[@thismanatemyson]

Hope you perform this at Riot Fest! The last time I saw you guys was at Warped Tour in 2009 at Merriweather and Buddy called out 3OH!3 for signing the chests of underage girls. Thanks for always being an advocate for those that don't have a voice. SF has been one of my favorite bands for the last 15 years and I'm stoked I'll get to see you play 10 years later.

[@Simpcameraman007]

Mell y I’m hoping to see it also at riot!!

[@micro-babe]

I was at that date! I totally remember that! That was the first of many times I've seen Senses Fail.

[@coreyjohnson2205]

i think i remember this. i saw them in mass in 2009

[@kelanmacfarlane2339]

I need heavy senses fail again

[@jasongould4068]

This was released in the year 2019 - there is hope!

[@louisxD]

Such an awesome song

[@ryanschwartz4769]

Senses fail is still good crazy !! The best

[@bel.vermillion]

Cheers to Buddy's amazing dance! I'm so happy to hear Senses Fail again. REALLY. Missed you af

[@_jeremyryanhale_]

Bel Vermillion didn’t know they ever went anywhere.

[@4stringsmakekings]

I'll happily put this on repeat for the next 15 years. Thank you Buddy! After Senses Fail has changed so much over the years, this song is still a joy to listen to.

[@jz8179]

I love how they remastered this song.Its more mature sounding and clarity too it sounding not!saying that the original was bad cause I still love that one but I love how they redid this one ya know?

[@stevenhernandez631]

Love how Buddy changed the lyrics! He is such an inspiration and living proof that we can all see the beauty in change. Looking forward to seeing them all three SoCal dates this year!

[@greenmilklatte]

Buddy Nielsen never disappoints. 😌

[@HardstylerJosh]

I just realized they have the same dancers from the Elevator to the gallows music video. Those two girls and buddy have amazing dance moves!

[@user-uv2kd2cb9d]

finally i can comment a "feels young again." lmao im 28 now time flies and this band still saves me

[@alext818]

I love that sense fail finds a way to carry on the same emotion I've always felt listening to them in the early 2000's middle and high school was such a blessing with these guys

[@AverageG4mer]

I saw these guys back when they played a show of like 50 people in a little store before they dropped their first EP.. And they are STILL one of my favorite bands ever.. God this brought back memories!

[@jaredmason194]

Yes! One of my favorite (b-side?) tracks love the chug riffs in the verses

[@SamWearsPrada1311]

This song has always held a special place in my heart. Thank you.

[@whythis5354]

I was looking so forward to hear the new sounding scream at the end. I feel like I was just denied something I so rightfully deserved. Still a good remake though.

[@Weasel.King.Official]

I agree

[@calebanderson9160]

True

[@davidmoore8227]

I was just about to say that lmfao

[@cliftonfathead2741]

Nostalgic feels

[@LessWordsMoreMusic]

I kinda hated on the released/re-done songs at first but I'm just grateful that Senses Fail still exists. I've listened to them at my worst times and best times.

[@MikeGriffThePoet]

Thanks 4 this u guys been saying my life 4 years now!!!

[@timothyortiz9922]

I love this new version. So clean and still rocks. The new album with these songs redone has amazing sound

[@nelberndepablo1539]

Wow, their backed! Their original genre was started all over again! I really miss the old senses fail music

[@davidewaldt734]

Have been a HUGE fan since 2002, 20 plus years later and monumental changes have occurred but I can still relate almost every moment in over 20 years to a senses fail song!

[@josephl6727]

I'm 33 right now. I discovered this song when I was 17 going on 18. I feel like these lyrics were ripped out of my own mind. My father left when I was five. That sticks with you your whole life. We can try to get over it but it's not easy. After he left, he's was hopping from family to family and creating children he has failed to be present for. I tracked him down when I was 18 and he broke down in tears saying he was sorry that he couldn't be there for me. That he is trying to change. I never saw him again after that day. Finding my father only fueled more anger. I thought it would resolve something that was missing. The reality is, he couldn't fix it. I had to forgive and forget. Once in a while it does creep back in and i wonder what I was deprived from as a child and how unempathetic I can get at times.

[@juddhughes2487]

39 year old me feels young again…. Best birthday gift was to see them on my 22nd bday

[@jamalcopeland5849]

This song is dope

[@theworldselimination5638]

You guys are still my favorite band and this is why. Look at how wonderful and creative this video is compared to the garbage video that blink 182 just released for darkside. I thank you senses fail. You're still the best in my opinion.

[@hahahajackmyswag]

How bout you watch your fucking mouth little bitch before you get your teeth knocked out

[@Jaxon_69]

have you seen blinks new video for their song "Peter Hoppus"???? its disgusting. they apparently went to the guys house and recorded the video at 1212 rose ave new haven indiana

[@danlovekins]

Brings it all back. Best band ever

[@chuies1314]

Old school jam... remake is dope still got it.. next album needs to go back to this style

[@rodrigoshow182]

Great song!!

[@mikeheeenen3727]

I met them at the warped tour a few years back as I was a vip guest thru the Living the Dream foundation who gives people who are living with Terminally and sever chronic diseases and treat them as a VIP guest to Concerts and or Sporting events I had just been diagnosed with both colon and thyroid cancer at the time. I so scared I was not going to back it. But when I was chosen to be the vip guest there buddy I had over heard about my situation and made sure that they took me to there show that day. I actually got to meet and hang out with them before and after there set. Buddy was so awesome and made my day. Out of all the bands I got to meet and see SensesFail was by far my favorite. He actually let me be real close to him on stage during there set and kept pointing at me and asking how much I was enjoying there set in between songs. A lot bands also have a pre show ritual with each other helping them get pumped before hitting the stage. So we huddled up together and did a beer can shot. Just an amazing group of guys who made me feel like I was one of there Senses Fail brothers.

[@HardstylerJosh]

Buddy, apex predator of the dance floor as always

[@samnyan]

such an underated song...

[@jaosix]

YES

[@Julia-ts5tv]

This sound takes me back to my younger days , they still sound exactly the same, it's amazing

This has always been my favorite song by them. Glad they returned to it.

Still hits me the same. Every. Single. Year.

[@Neal_Wheels]

All of the bands from this era have "evolved" into pop music and Senses Fail is still writing amazing music that's true to their core. Funny how that works. This song is fucking amazing.

Flashbacks to watching the live version the first time from the Let It Enfold You DVD.

[@madbadmatt]

So he actually went with changing the lyrics. Fair play Buddy 🤘🏻

[@bhoussock]

Matt Mclellan which lyrics did he change for this one? They’re matching up for me. I think he changed some on the other tracks though (Handguns)

[@madbadmatt]

bhoussock the chorus used to be “the bitch of everyone” it’s now “the joke of everyone” still works perfectly. It’s made me really curious to other little changed they would have made

[@bhoussock]

Matt Mclellan now I’m seeing it! Yes, definitely still works in the song.. actually better I think. ‘Bitch of everyone’ sounds odd.

honestly this is the first time i have ever enjoyed this song. i've always loved Senses Fail since Let It Enfold you and saw them live during that albums first tour. i'm very excited to hear the remake of their first EP.
