Walking Disaster by Sum 41 Song Info
"Walking Disaster" is the second track on Sum 41's 2007 studio album "Underclass Hero". It was released as the second single from the album, impacting radio on July 24, 2007. The band performed the song on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on July 24, 2007. “Walking Disaster” takes the listener through a story of someone leaving home due to disagreements with his parents. According to Whibley, the song illustrates his tattered childhood and his reflections as an adult. The song opens with a vision of Deryck’s past, damaged by his conflicting parents; he leaves home as he sees himself caught in between his parent’s arguments. The song ends on an optimistic note (he returns home) expressing his maturation as an adult, in the light of being able to see things differently and ultimately, understanding his childhood.
