Pretty sobering lyrics given a relatively upbeat melody. I like the quieter guitar sections that transition into vocals backed by drum/bass lines, it lends a lot of structure to the song. It's a pretty 'stable' song, if that makes sense- the basic beat is very consistent and there are few instruments added until you hear a bit of that piano towards the end. Great build-up to the final repeat of the chorus. All in all it has a lot of elements of the typical kind of pop/punk rock song, though it'd be silly to call it 'generic' given the artist, so I'll have to give it a 7/10. I wouldn't skip it over if it came up on my playlist, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for it
