13 Relatable AF Lyrics

Some of the best song lyrics are the one's that absolutely resonate with you. The one's that make you go "yeah, I feel that" or, more simply "mood."

It's quite a good feeling when a song understands you in a way no one else does, or when a song lyric puts into words exactly what you're thinking or feeling.

These are 13 lyrics that hit that spot for me (paired with really simple explanations).

"Twenty dollar bill used to mean i was rich / Now i'm older but that's still true as shit"

growing up can go to hell | Marisa Maino

Okay, look, I'm a broke college student with no job, so yeah, 20 bucks still sometimes feels like a lot. In the grand scheme of things? It's really not much, but I wish it was.

"I don’t wanna talk / I just wanna sleep in"

One of Those Days | American Teeth

I'm sorry did you say something? I'd much rather be in bed and sleeping.

"There's no way that I'm going outside / 'Cause I don't like people / And they don't like me"

I Don't Like People (& They Don't Like Me) | Boston Manor

The pandemic anthem we didn't know we needed. I mean, the track opens with "I haven't left my bedroom for 16 days." Look, people suck. We all know that. Humans have the tendency to fuck things up and be self-centered, so yeah, I'm not a fan of people.

"'Cause I'm like yes and no / Wait, I don't know / I think I'm dying / Hold up, I'm invincible"

yes & no | XYLO

Do you have a horrible tendency of being incredibly indecisive? Yeah? Me too. This song's for you then and all your indecisiveness.

Bonus lyric: "Don't know if I'm feeling happy (no) / I'm kinda confused, I'm not in the mood to try and fix me"

"So when I say, "I'm sorry, I'm late" I wasn't showing up at all"

Wilson (Expensive Mistakes) | Fall Out Boy

You know we needed a FOB song on this list -- it wouldn't be complete otherwise. Half the time when I'm late to things, it's because I spent way too long making the decision to go and then decide to a little later than I should. That, or I don't know what to wear, or I just forgot.

Bonus lyric: "I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color"

"And modern anxiety / That motherfucker never rests"

Dive In | Pierce the Veil

Ah, yes, the curse of anxiety. It really never stops, never settles.

"Long time, no sleep"

I'D RATHER DIE | AS IT IS

The life of a college student, am I right?

"Cause, motherfucker, I look good today / Self-care, green hair, looking cute today"

Numb | Waterparks

A positive one! Look at that. Self-care's important, ya'll. And you do look cute today.

Bonus relatable tracks from the same album:

"Yeah, I’m a little bit of a little bitch, so? / I might turn around and say some stupid shit, no" (You'd Be Paranoid Too (If Everyone Was Out To Get You))

"I can't stop now because I'm dancing"

Planetary (Go!) | My Chemical Romance

First off, if you can tell me you can listen to this song without dancing, you're just wrong.

I've always had the unpopular opinion that Danger Days is My Chemical Romance's best album for many reasons. One such reasons is that it amazingly doesn't take itself seriously while still being fairly serious.

Take this lyric. It's so dumb, but it's fun, and honestly, it's kind of a mood.

Bonus relatable lyrics from the same album:

"Hit the gas, kill 'em all" (Na Na Na)

"Shut up and let me see your jazz hands" (Na Na Na)

"But since your heads in the clouds, / The best advice I found is don't look down."

It Must Really Suck to Be Four Year Strong Right Now | Four Year Strong

This one's stuck with me since I was in middle school. If you've often got your head in the clouds, living stuck inside your own mind, this song's for you.

"Sometimes I cry to pass the time"

Stressed | UPSAHL

The entirety of this song is an absolute mood. Are you stressed? Got a lot going on inside of your head? Want to get it all out? This is the perfect song.

"The future freaks me out"

Permanent | A Day to Remember

The future is unpredictable and that's scary. Sure, it can be spun in a good way but, soon-to-be graduating college senior here, in reality, it's just terrifying.

Bonus lyric: "Fear of a future I can't predict"

"Growing up is a heavy leaf to turn"

Portugal | Walk the Moon

Growing up is a challenge we all gotta face at some point or another and it can quite difficult.
