10 Greatest Anti-Love Songs In Rock Music History
10. Gives You Hell - All American Rejects
There's always a lot of raw wounds that come with leaving your significant other behind. As much as it might be for the best that you're not going to be together, you're still going to feel a little bit jaded about what could have been. When you look back on some of these songs though, the feeling of getting a little bit salty every now and again feels pretty fantastic.
Granted, Gives You Hell doesn't necessarily have to be about your significant other 100% of the time. From just the chorus alone, this is the salty song that you can show to anyone who's been bothering you in your life, whether it be your boyfriend being an ass, your boss at work treating you like trash, or pretty much anything in between. The devil is in the details here though, and Tyson Ritter is going in hard on this former friend of his.
In the verses, you can pretty much see how well his own life is going while he sees this guy rotting away back in his hometown. There might be something tragic about not being able to get out of the 9-5 job and not buying the fancy car, but it changes when that was the guy who was talking you down all those years. If anything, your face isn't just a greeting from Hell. It's a reminder of how much of a mistake they made by leaving you behind.
