Auto-mod says I have to elaborate so my answer is Paralyzer by Finger Eleven. The guitar line is excellent and the instrumentals in general are solid (even the singer's timbre is good,) but those lyrics:
I hold on so nervously to me and my drink
I wish it was coolin' me
But so far has not been good
It's been shitty, and I feel awkward as I should
This club has got to be the most pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
I hold out for one more drink, before I think
I'm lookin' too desperately
But so far has not been fun, I should just stay home
If one thing really means one
This club will hopefully be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
It feels like the guitarist found a great guitar riff and brought it to the lyricist who said, "Gimme 20 minutes, I'll whip something up" and then regurgitated his most recent manic-incel episode. You can't leave a bar you hate because you're imaging "a dark lit place" where you can take that woman who's clearly not into you? Creep.
