This week's Songs of the Week features PUP's new single "Get Dumber" featuring Jeff Rosenstock. The track, from PUP's upcoming album, expresses the absurdity of modern life and the challenges faced by musicians. The lyrics highlight the pressures of touring and the criticism musicians face from outsiders, while simultaneously conveying a larger disillusionment with contemporary society. With blistering guitar tones and shout-along choruses, the song serves as a cathartic outlet for listeners feeling the weight of absurd circumstances, aligning with the chaotic current events of the world.
"Seventeen nights in this coffin/ No one cares if you've lost it/ When there's seventeen hands in your pocket."
"You finally call, it's so arrogant/ 'You still playing those songs? It's so embarrassing.'"
"I don't want to hear who you're dragging under/ It seems like every year, I swear that you're getting dumber."
PUP's new song 'Get Dumber' offers a cathartic, angsty rager reflecting on the absurdity of touring life and disillusionment.
