After building momentum with their emotionally raw single "Suburbia Is a Ghost Town," Undefine roared back with "Skip This Town", a sharp, heartfelt, and anthemic three-track single that perfectly captures the restlessness, sarcasm, and emotional chaos of growing up and burning out.

The title track, Skip This Town, is a fast-paced escape anthem soaked in frustration, adrenaline, and big singalong choruses. It became an instant fan favorite at shows and signaled the band’s evolution into sharper, more defined songwriting.

You Were Cooler Online blends biting wit with heartbreak, skewering the illusion of internet personas in a way only Undefine can—melodically infectious and lyrically brutal.

The closer, Crash Dummy, is the emotional gut-punch of the release. It turns wreckage into metaphor, comparing heartbreak to car crashes with a balance of poetry and punch.

Together, the three tracks show Undefine doubling down on their pop punk roots while leaning confidently into a darker, more emotionally resonant sound. "Skip This Town" isn’t just a single—it’s a mile marker in the band’s journey toward something louder, bigger, and more honest than ever.

Lyrics

🎵 1. Skip This Town
(Genre: Pop Punk / Emo)

[Verse 1]
This town’s got rust on every smile
Fake hellos and thrift-store denial
I drive in loops just to feel alive
Counting exits, wasting time

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve had enough of cracked pavement dreams
And chasing ghosts in high school scenes

[Chorus]
Let’s skip this town before we drown
In coffee shops and letdowns
Pack our bags, don’t look behind
We’ve got no map, but that’s just fine
We’re burning bridges, playing loud
Skip this town, make our parents proud

[Verse 2]
Pothole hearts and neon signs
Cheap liquor and dollar-store lines
We talk big plans, but sleep too late
Still swear we’re meant for something great

[Pre-Chorus]
We’re fading fast in a town that won’t care
So let’s make a break like we’re never there

[Chorus]
Let’s skip this town before we drown
In coffee shops and letdowns
Pack our bags, don’t look behind
We’ve got no map, but that’s just fine
We’re burning bridges, playing loud
Skip this town, make our parents proud

[Bridge]
We’ll scream in the rearview, laugh till we crash
Lose ourselves on the freeway flash
Midnight’s calling with empty streets
Freedom’s loud in offbeat beats

[Final Chorus]
Let’s skip this town before we drown
No looking back, we’re not slowing down
Forget the place that let us fade
We’ll find our spark in the mess we made
We’re burning bridges, playing loud
Skip this town—make ourselves proud
