STARVED
Verse 1
I’ve been spending most my week alone with my thoughts
Watching rich textured art films and rehearsing the plot
Most of my life has been this one big embarrassment
Eating take-out food and watching the reruns
Pre chorus
All I know is this fucking shit
Can someone teach me how to live?
Chorus
So, drop the anchors hit the floor
Don’t stop the snow from barricading the front door
Just top me up, this sober trains gone long enough
If the whiskey doesn’t stop the bleeding
The cuts not deep enough
Verse 2
I take a taste of my own medicine
Had a couple extra pills for dinner
I’m throwing up on the floor of the bedroom
My sheets stained; my brains sprayed
On the roof of the apartment so
Pre chorus
So damn young, so damn dumb
This was over long before it even begun
Chorus
Drop the anchors hit the floor
Don’t stop the snow from barricading the front door
Just top me up, this sober trains gone long enough
If the whiskey doesn’t stop the bleeding
The cuts not deep enough
Bridge
I’m feeling hungry
I’m feeling angry
I’m feeling something that I’ve got to hold onto
My stomachs empty
Youve escaped me
Holding on to something that is rotting
Chorus
So, drop the anchors hit the floor
Don’t stop the snow from barricading the front door
Just top me up, this sober trains gone long enough
If the whiskey doesn’t stop the bleeding
The cuts not deep enough

Never Coming Home
Verse 1
Like sand you fall
You fall so slow
(How are these lies, Holding up for you)
Your skins so pale
Just like a ghost
(Take it from me, Take it, take it from me)
The waters cold but not as cold
These crooked teeth it’s all your fault
I should have known, how could i know
You would have stole all of my thoughts
Chorus
You can go, you can go
Take everything you want from me cuz its all my fault
Do I really want to know what you did?
Paint it out for me, hang it on my wall
You can go, you can go
Take everything you want from me cuz its all my fault
I’m mapping out a path and I’m never coming home
Verse 2
I feel the force of this crushing weight
And I don’t blame you that you couldn’t stay
Cuz you’re creeping in
And I’m so jaded
I couldn't stand just to see your face
A second look is something I can’t take
Cuz my minds fading
I’ve been persuaded
Chorus
You can go, you can go
Take everything you want from me cuz its all my fault
Do I really want to know what you did?
Paint it out for me, hang it on my wall
You can go, you can go
Take everything you want from me cuz its all my fault
I’m mapping out a path and I’m never coming home

Bad News
Verse 1
I’d rather black out and relapse
Then remember your ass
Or pretend you give two fucks for the night
All I’m left with is zero
You’re some morbid hero
Your disregard cuts like a knife
Pre Chorus
Its crazy to think
That I once cared what you thought of me
I don’t know what came over me
Now I Need a drink
To wash away these fucking memories
To act like you don’t bother me
Chorus
You weren’t all bad news
As you dressed my wounds
You were just my muse
With these cold dead hands
We can just pretend
Be fair-weather friends
Verse 2
Keep it up like you did for the last 6 months
A fucking thief robbery and I’m god damn done
If you should me the means, to be a terrible being
Ill compare my wrist to yours
You’re playing dumb like you did nothing wrong tonight
Your hands are bloody coming home from a knife fight
I hope this life sentence is worth it
Chorus
You weren’t all bad news
As you dressed my wounds
You were just my muse
With these cold dead hands
We can just pretend
Be fair-weather friends

HFNY (Happy Fucking New Year)
Verse 1
December’s snow is melting
Who was I before the drugs?
Your online vanity makes me insane
Spent so much time on
That hand me down furniture
Remembering you on that summer day
From house to house
From car to car
And I’ll start over with a coat of paint
But today I fell, fell apart
And I can’t wait till I forget your name
Chorus
Just go, move slow
And don’t look back cuz you might trip
Just go, move slow
And don’t look back cuz you might trip
Verse2
Just give it up so we don’t talk about it
Let’s talk about it
I’m talking ‘bout you, so you’ll be old news
And do you really give a fuck about it
I fucking doubt it
Yeah ill forget you
Can’t wait till I do
So, bury me, bury me
Away from all of this
Away from all your shit
Chorus
Just go, move slow
And don’t look back cuz you might trip
Just go, move slow
And don’t look back cuz you might trip

Liar
Verse
You might just be, the greatest thing
I’ve ever seen, Feels like a dream
Pinch me I’m back, no beauty queen
I just got sacked, by my own team
Pre Chorus
You’re Just a dime a dozen
A lush that means nothing
A simple mind, dressed up as a prize
Nothing short but a short-lived life
Maybe I should take my own advice
Chorus
You’re just a liar
Nothing more than a trick
You’re just a liar
You make me sick, sick, sick
Verse
Beauty and smarts, funny yet snarky
Made quite the team, not what it seems
Flip it around, talk shit and make up
Feel ridiculed, Feels kind of cruel
Pre Chorus
You’re just a misdemeanour, a minor leaguer
To find your way, it’s a dead cliché
A packed suitcase to take you miles away
Whoever thought that, that would be okay
Chorus
Liar
Nothing more than a trick
You’re Just a liar
You make me sick, sick, sick

A Cardboard Cut-Out
Verse 1
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
I’m fucking pulling out my teeth
As I’m crawling back to you
I was your terrible disguise
You were my favourite place to hide
And now I’m crossing out my eyes
And now I’m crossing out
Chorus
All these lies that keep us torn apart
The record skips and replays from the start
And all we know is what we've come this far
Verse 2
I'm replaying all the things I said wrong
They won’t save face now
If I could go back in time, change what’s done
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll stay gone
Chorus
All these lies that keep us torn apart
The record skips and replays from the start
And all we know is what we've come this far

Sorry About The Mess
Intro
I thought I knew you, but I never really knew you that well
Verse 1
You’re so good at pretending, cuz you’re not who you say
All the lies and deceiving, were you ever really honest anyway
That sugar-coat interested not in the least
Will you swim from the bottom?
Hope you sink, as I tie down your feet
I hope you choke
Chorus
So, don’t carry me home, carry me
So don’t, carry me home, carry me
Verse 2
I don’t want to remember our first time
With your dark eyes
In a dark room, with no mattress
Think it felt right
Ill forget soon
I don’t want to remember the good times
Want to help me, try to help you
Such a mistake
You’re a blank sheet an old tattoo
Chorus
So, don’t carry me home, carry me
So don’t, carry me home, carry me

Disaster Piece
Verse 1
You sat me down and said you wanted to be friends
That the jig was up 6 months of lies
Instead of being honest, Why the fuck would be honestly
Ill pretend to be okay, so I said
Forgive me and forget that sour taste
You left in my mouth and all over
Misplaced my sympathy
As you're walking out on me and all our dreams
All our dreams
Chorus
And I won’t leave this disaster
And you won’t leave this bastard
I know it'll never be the same
Verse 2
I'm moving up, you're moving out of my damn place
I hope you drag your feet to your new destination
To nowhere, cuz you’re fucking up out there
You're just a ghost
A fucking ghost
I saw it coming, how could I not look at your face
These past 4 years were just a fucking waste of
Time, I’m giving in, to all the drugs I should have did
How could I know, I should have known
Chorus
And I won’t leave this disaster
And you won’t leave this bastard
I know it’ll never be the same
And I won’t leave this disaster
And you won’t leave this bastard
I know it’ll never be the same

The Highsides Vancouver, British Columbia
Punk Rock from Vancouver BC
New SINGLE
"CALL TO ACTION"
OUT NOW
NEW ALBUM LATE 2024
If you like The Highsides, you may also like:
supported by 5 fans who also own “Some Pretty Dark Thoughts”
'Blood Fortune' is everything I was hoping Aanthems first LP would be, and more. It's got a diamond hard edge, but still brims with the warm heartedness both Ryan and Geoff are known for. The very definition of diverse, this album offers something for everyone: hardcore sensibilities, melodic turns, and some of the most singalong-able choruses/gang chants ever. It's been a banner year for Vancouver punk, but this has easily been my most spun record since it's time of release.

Some of the most insane, amazing lyrics I've ever seen in punk rock. Really fucking cool themes.

Jagged post-punk from Sydney captures the sound of the ’70s in its acute angled guitars and detacted vocals.

Gutsy rock & roll from this Brooklyn group bursting with hot-rodding riffs and snarling vocals, hearkening back to classic dark punk.

Taking cues from Midwestern emo and early ’10 pop punk, this Leeds, UK outfit are full of heart— not to mention hooks.
