The Taste Of Ink (Official Video)

dear 15 year old me - you'll still love this song 20 years later and listen to it on a weekly basis while driving to work. ❤️

Just sitting here at 38 years old, engineering some software, being an adult. I don't know why, but I thought about The Used for the first time in decades. Put on a box full of sharp objects, was like being back in high school again. Just pure nostalgia. Look over in the related, see The Taste Of Ink. "I remember this song I think?". Click it, that opening lick happens, and I just stop what I'm doing and listen, crying by the end of it. It's like one of my deepest memories that picked over 20 years to lay dormant and then all of the sudden knock me over. I remember everything now, every little detail of that time. It's absolutely insane how much gets tied to songs, and apparently forgotten until the song finds it's way back.

2024 Anyone

I miss these days so much. The Used, Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail, Saosin, Finch... and so many other great bands helped me get through an otherwise shitty adolescence. Just wish today's kids appreciated bands like these more, and got to experience shows like we did. I can't even remember the last time I saw a garage band practicing...

This song changed my life in high school. I still get goosebumps to this day when I hear it. "Savor every moment".

This band peaked at such a young age. This is still one of the best cd's of all time.

the used always just takes me back to being in middle school, my sister would play this album non stop. so many great memories and what an amazing time for music back then

Here I am, 2024, still rocking to this jam like it's the early 2000s

Being born in 85 and being able to have the chance to grow up with this kind of music is a blessing!!! 🎉🎉

Is it worth it, can you even hear me? Standing with your spotlight on me Not enough to feed the hungry I'm tired, and I've felt it for a while now In this sea of lonely The taste of ink is getting old It's four o'clock in the fucking morning Each day gets more and more like the last day Still I can see it coming While I'm standing in the river drowning This could be my chance to break out This could be my chance to say goodbye At last it's finally over Couldn't take this town much longer Being half dead wasn't what I planned to be Now I'm ready to be free So here I am, it's in my hand And I'll savor every moment of this So here I am, alive at last And I'll savor every moment of this And won't you think I'm pretty When I'm standing top the bright lit city And I'll take your hand and pick you up And keep you there so you can see As long as you're alive and care I promise I will take you there We'll drink and dance the night away (We'll drink and dance the night away) Oh So here I am, it's in my hand And I'll savor every moment of this So here I am, alive at last And I'll savor every moment of this Savor every moment of this As long as you're alive Here I am I promise I will take you there As long as you're alive Here I am I promise I will take you there And won't you think I'm pretty When I'm standing top the bright lit city And I'll take your hand and pick you up And keep you there so you can see it As long as you're alive and care I promise I will take you there As long as you're alive and care I promise I will take you there So here I am, it's in my hand And I'll savor every moment of this So here I am, alive at last And I'll savor every moment of this Savor every moment of this Savor every moment of this

I'm 39 and will forever hear The Used i don't care how old I am. ❤🙌🏻

36 and still rocking this song. This was high school, rock on

Oh man. His voice sounds so raw and real. It's amazing.

40 years old and I still get hyped listening to this song!

Nobody could ever find the words to prepare me for how different these songs would hit now that I am in my mid-30s. Standing here, crying, while doing the dishes ( @ 4'oclock in the fckn morning 😅!) bc the nostalgia hits SO damn hard.😢"Savor every Moment of this!!" Some of my friends that loved The Used just as much (if not more) than I did, aren't even here anymore to enjoy them.😭 So I savor every moment of this... for them.❤🕊🌌 If you're here, reading this comment & you know exactly what I mean-- then you're a fuckin' legend ❤💯

31 yrs old .and still hear this song while driving alone in the night .sing it loud alone .thank you for the memory

Ah flashback montage of middle school. I love this song. It makes me reflect of how much I have grown, and changed since then. <3

I love this song , how many memories are associated with it

I remember being 19 and blasting this album while driving around Stockton, CA with the top down, wind blowing through my hair, sunset in the distance and off to meet a girl I met on Myspace. Those were the DAYS man lol. How tf am I 40 now

I literally remember blaring this every morning in middle school as well getting ready for the day. This was when music was literally life. This is our antidote to the world's problems. <3
