Hey Romantics,

MAKE OUT MONDAY is composed of 5 members:

Make Out Monday released their debut single "Hope Less Romantics" on 21st of July 2014 and it had reached 22,261 views on YouTube as of now (8th of November 2014). 

A lot of you may bang their heads with the theme of the music! The rock and roll kinda fun but do you really understand what this song is trying to say to you? 

As Zack Shada said on an interview with The Music Project Radio "Well, the song kinda came together 'cause I had gone on a pretty bad break-up, yeah it was a 3 year thing (and) we thought it was going somewhere then it happened but then I was like, Oh you know! Life sucks, don't fall in love it's a bad thing that's where the song came from..." 

That's the primary idea of the song but for me there's more! 

Here's the lyrics:

Hope Less Romantics

-Make Out Monday

  Verse I

We’re all creatures of habit

We spill all our tragic thoughts in their little black boxes

Turn our love switches off

In the morning when freedom is calling

And all they can hear are sounds of the haves and have not’s

  Pre-Chorus

They’ll break you 10 ways to Sunday

And 11 to Monday my dear

They’ll break you 10 ways to Sunday

And 11 to Monday my dear

  Chorus

Don’t give ‘em your hearts

Give ‘em your bullets

They’ll hurt less when they throw them back at you

Hope less Romantics

Come on, hope a little less Romantics

  Verse II

He never smiles when he’s laughing

But gah there’s a passion

You feel when he’s gasping

We sleep with the monsters we make

In the evening when curses have meanings

And every demons just some other angels mistake

  *Pre-Chorus

  *Chorus (twice)

  Bridge

So bleed those wrist, and purse those lips

It’s never getting any better than this

(I’m afraid)

All endings are tragic, it’s not that dramatic

They’re so cause you wrote em’ that way

  Chorus (changed)

Don’t give ‘em your hearts

Give ‘em your bullets

You’ll never feel the trigger

If it’s you that pulls it

Hope less Romantics

Come on, hope a little less Romantics

  *Chorus III

Don’t give ‘em your hearts

Give ‘em your bullets

They’ll hurt less when they throw them back at you

No surgeon will patch you

But at least, love, you’ll still have your heart

At least you’ll still have your heart

Hope a little less romantics

Come on, hope a little less romantics

Hope a little less romantics.

And now I'll give you guys my own reflection about the song (;

As for the Verse 1:

We're all creatures of habits

We spill all our tragic thoughts in their little black boxes

Turn our love switches off 

In the morning when freedom is calling

and all they can hear are the sounds of the haves and have nots

It's like staying in a relationship for so long that it becomes the same every single day you'll grow thinking that everything's just fine and all problems were kept away from reality. Then knowing and keeping the problems to yourself, you'll grow cold. And when you realize it, you'll start asking what have gone wrong.

Pre-Chorus:

They'll break you 10 ways to Sunday 

and 11 to Monday my dear

They'll break you 10 ways to Sunday

and 11 to Monday my dear

I won't lie but I had help with this one. According to Zack, "it means that generally if people CAN, they will find a way to hurt you even if they don't mean to. 10 ways is often a term that means the extent of how many times it can be done..." So, basically it's about being hurt over and over again. 

Chorus:

Don't give em' your hearts. Give 'em your bullets 

They'll hurt less when they throw them them back at you

Hope Less Romantics

Come on, hope a little less Romantics

When you're going in a relationship DON'T GIVE EVERYTHING! This is too mainstream idea for love but we still do it (giving out everything) anyway. It's like loving less for others and keeping some for yourself. Hope a little less so you won't have regrets or be hurt that much.

Verse 2:

He never smiles when he's laughing

But gah there's a passion  

You feel when he's gasping 

We sleep with the monsters we make

In the evening when curses have meanings

and every demons just some other angels mistake 

If this going to be a storytelling I must say this is when the love begins to die... You're beginning to turn cold, be plastic with your partner (or your partner to you) It's like kissing a stone-hard wall without even actually loving them.

Bridge:

So bleed those wrist and purse those lips

It's never getting any better than this

(I'm Afraid)

All endings are tragic, it's not that dramatic

They're so cause you wrote it that way

Well, we all write our own stories same  as everybody. Heartbreak is what we get if we want it that way. You hurt yourself more if you want to keep on loving that someone who hurts you the most. You're afraid to let go 'cause you think that it's all you've got, not knowing that there are more out there who you deserve. 

Chorus (changed):

Don’t give ‘em your hearts

Give ‘em your bullets

You’ll never feel the trigger

If it’s you that pulls it

Hope less Romantics

Come on, hope a little less Romantics

Don’t give ‘em your hearts

Give ‘em your bullets

They’ll hurt less when they throw them back at you

No surgeon will patch you

But at least, love, you’ll still have your heart

At least you’ll still have your heart

Hope a little less romantics

Come on, hope a little less romantics

Hope a little less romantics.

You'll never actually feel loved if you don't find/give it for yourself. And not giving your heart for someone  will save you from all the hurt you had been through before. It's not like you're afraid of falling in love or being in a relationship but what you're afraid of is being hurt so being in a relationship without love is your way out because when you two break up you'll still have your heart.

  It's not that bad to love but remember to keep some for ourselves, Romantics!
