PUP - Morbid Stuff (April 5, 2019) Album • Page 15

I also skip The Coast

 

i did that this morning on my way into work. too much!

 

thank you for validating my experience. also don't even get me started on the video

 

i have not seen it and tbh i do not plan to because i will definitely cry!

this is terrible but the girl in the lake song sometimes makes me laugh because last year before i went on parahoy, my brother and i were hanging out and he was drinking and just stopped and was like "kayla you can't go on a boat, the lake needs to eat and it's hungriest in the spring." so that's the main thing i think of when i hear that line.

 

The lake song makes me think of Lake Ponchartrain by Ludo

 

I fucking love that band and song.

 

does the line "I'm trying my best but you can't even look at me or talk to me or tell me what's happening to you" make me well up if I think about it too much? who is to say

 

I don’t skip Sleep in the Heat but I do sometimes weep in my car when it comes on if I’m in a particular mood. I don’t even have pets lol.

 

Having emotions sounds wild

 

Sleep In The Heat is my favorite PUP song

 

Sleep In The Heat makes me want to hold my pets so close. Also, The Coast rules.

 

.........is that song about a pet and not about a person? I had no idea omg.

 

hello it me extremely late to pup train aka just started listening to them like 3 months ago

 

It's about his iguana

 

I love that I just broke that news for you

 

Does this make it more or less sad for you?

More is the correct answer

 

The first time I heard Sleep in the Heat I thought it was about a dog or something, but learning it was about his pet iguana actually made it more devastating to me lol

 

i mean, it's still very devastating but like...slightly better that it's not about a person? i legit thought it was about like, a friend who died. my brother saw them play a small show in michgan's UP and said Stefan like...cried when they performed it. Which makes sense STILL, but i really would never have guessed iguana.

 

"
This song is about my baby chameleon. Her name is Norman. If you’re a fan of the first record, you might have seen the “Mabu” video, where I drive my family car in a demolition derby. We rented a bunch of reptiles for the video, because, reptiles are cool as shit. We had a snake and some turtles and some goldfish, and we also got a baby chameleon.

That day was really emotional for me. After the derby, we had a funeral for my mangled car (watch the video, you’ll understand). While I was saying goodbye, my heart was breaking, and I was holding this little chameleon. I looked down, and she was just staring up at me with these huge, adorable eyes, and I loved her right away. She was filling the car-sized hole in my heart. I named her Norman and took her home that night.

Norman was the best. She hunted crickets and hung out in this cool terrarium me and my roommates built for her, and she was super friendly. But one day, she got really sick. I took her to a special reptile hospital, where they told me she had a tongue infection, and would need to have it amputated. The procedure was going to cost $1000 (pretty much every dollar in my bank account), but money didn’t matter. I loved Norman and she was my responsibility.

After the surgery, Norman was different. Chameleons rely on their tongues to eat and drink and hunt. For weeks, my roommates and I tried to teach her to do those things without a tongue. She just couldn’t figure it out. She got frustrated. And at a certain point, she stopped trying. She wouldn’t eat. She slept all day. She slowly lost her will to live, and that was the end of it.

I miss Norman a lot. I think about her every day. I really really liked her. I hope she liked me too."

 

ok my record was picked up by the mail which means it’s moving now and apparently i treated myself to priority shipping so thank you me!!!

 

jordy leak it 2 me

 

Also here's an archived version of their track by track. Jason posted a dead link earlier (and quickly deleted it):
PUP’s track by track guide to their new album ‘The Dream Is Over’ - FasterLouder

 

ill send u one of the pup colored pencils that i’m getting with it

 

Omg that’s amazing. I tried to convince my brother to get the lifeboat preorder but it was too pricy!

 

Shit, this thread has totally opened my eyes. I had no idea Sleep In The Heat was about his pet. Reading the lyrics through now, it obviously totally makes sense.

We had to have our dog put to sleep a couple of weeks back. Thought I'd coped pretty okay with it, but listening to that song now is messing me up. Miss him so fucking much.
