Sum 41 - Walking Disaster
I haven't been home for a while
I'm sure everything's the same
Mom and Dad both in denial
An only child to take the blame
I'm sorry, Mom, but I don't miss you
Father's no name you deserve
I'm just a kid with no ambitions
Wouldn't come home for the world
You'll never know what I become
The king of all that's said and done
The forgotten son
This city's buried in defeat
I walk along these no-name streets
Wave goodbye to all
As I fall...
At the dead-end I begin
To burn a bridge of innocence
Satisfaction guaranteed
A pillow-weight catastrophe
On a mission nowhere bound
Inhibitions underground
A shallow grave I
Have dug all by myself
And now I've been gone for so long
I can't remember who was wrong
All innocence is long gone
I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief
Where I belong
A walking disaster
The son of all bastards
You regret you made me
It's too late to save me
(You regret you made me
It's too late to save me)
(He said)
As far as I can tell
It's just voices in my head
Am I talking to myself?
'Cause I don't know what I just said
(And she said)
Far is where I fell
Maybe I'm better off dead
Am I at the end of nowhere
Is this as good as it gets?
And now I've been gone for so long
I can't remember who was wrong
All innocence is long gone
I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief
Where I belong
A walking disaster
The son of all bastards
You regret you made me
It's too late to save me
(To save me, to save me, to save me...)
("It's too late") [x2]
To save me, to save me, to save me, to save me
And now I've been gone for so long
I can't remember who was wrong
All innocence is long gone
I pledge allegiance to a world of disbelief
Where I belong
A walking disaster
The son of all bastards
You regret you made me
It's too late to save me
I will be home in a while
You don't have to say a word
I can't wait to see you smile
Wouldn't miss it for the world
I will be home in a while
You don't have to say a word
I can't wait to see you smile
Wouldn't miss it for the world
"Walking Disaster" is the second track on Sum 41's 2007 studio album "Underclass Hero". It was released as the second single from the album, impacting radio on July 24, 2007. The band performed the song on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on July 24, 2007. “Walking Disaster” takes the listener through a story of someone leaving home due to disagreements with his parents. According to Whibley, the song illustrates his tattered childhood and his reflections as an adult. The song opens with a vision of Deryck’s past, damaged by his conflicting parents; he leaves home as he sees himself caught in between his parent’s arguments. The song ends on an optimistic note (he returns home) expressing his maturation as an adult, in the light of being able to see things differently and ultimately, understanding his childhood.
