Sonny Moore – Mora Lyrics 16 years ago
the more i read the lyrics the more i REALLY don't think this has anything to do with sexual abuse. i think it's more about fame.

"take a step off of that silver bird from your planet
and you brought a little bit of that cold with you
ring me out like you would your bastarding father
and youre so quick to stick to that scum
hungry like a pirhana"

seems to be talking about egos and all the bullshit people who are famous (probably rockstars) or people who think they are famous (dudes in shitty bands) do. usually bad parenting leads to bad kids which makes sense with the last 3 lines, as the first two are about egos and thinking you are better than everyone (hence being from a different planet and having a cold attitude)

"swallow a little of that sea
now taste a little bit of that salt in me
throw up a little of it on your knees
now doesn't that bring you back to the beginning
before you poured your elements away
now sing back to the bottom of it all"

this sounds like he's saying "you need to remember what it's like to be a kid again." before you whored yourself out and sold yourself out to be something you're not.

"seal your lips with the black stitch of a secret
parade with that speechless dryness of the desert
lay flat under the lime light and feed off of the fiction
cold callus and boiled between the bleak deep of your dirty hands"

more words about bullshit fame and fictional facades people build up to try to make themselves seem better than everyone else.

now doesn't that make sense?

Manchester Orchestra – The Only One Lyrics 16 years ago
when he says "but if it was you i dont think that it would matter" and "but if it was you i'd make this a simpler story" i feel like he's kind of touching on the way we view other people. being humans, we tend to only see things from our perspective, so he's saying if someone else was in the place he was, he wouldnt really care or it wouldnt really be the same, even if it is, because we all think we are the most important things and that other peoples problems arent as big as ours. at least that's what i thought he meant, who knows.

Manchester Orchestra – The Only One Lyrics 16 years ago
if he's the son of a bastard, wouldn't that mean his dad is the bastard, therefore meaning his father is the one without a father, not him? ie: his grandpa wasnt around for his dad. which would make some sense lyrically, because a lot of bastard sons have bastard kids because their fathers werent there for them, so they arent there for their kids because they dont know what its like? basically he's saying it's rare for someone without a father to be a real father. that's what i gathered at least.

Dance Gavin Dance – Self-Trepanation Lyrics 16 years ago
that makes me feel better about myself, because the original tracklisting we made had this song first, but the label thought it was too weird and wanted tree village to be first because they felt it was a stronger song. feel free to make a playlist on your ipod or burn a cd with self-trep as the opening song and you can call it "real happiness" and feel super cool.

Dance Gavin Dance – Carl Barker Lyrics 16 years ago
"oh well it's me and you" is referring to him and his girlfriend. they're always breaking up. like... oh well, this is just how we are. you guys are actually taking the chorus wrong, but i dont blame you, because it can go either way, but when he says "i had it all along" he isnt talking about the girl, he's actually talking about his band. the fact that he gets to do what he loves with his life, play music, and how that he doesnt have his girlfriend bugging him all day, he realizes he doesnt need money and his girlfriend to be happy. hope that sheds some light.

Dance Gavin Dance – Powder to the People Lyrics 16 years ago
nobody that is or was in the band is or was addicted to coke... not sure where that rumor started. you could replace "coke" with "alcohol" though. alcohol is a lot worse than coke, too, most people are just too stupid to realize that.

Dance Gavin Dance – Tree Village Lyrics 16 years ago
that was on downtown battle mountain and a little bit of deathstar. the new cd has pretty serious lyrics aside from dont tell dave and strawberry swisher pt 1. im pretty sure will's lyrics on this song were influenced by the book "a canticle for leibowitz." kurts are about breaking up with his girlfriend, as are most of the lyrics on this album since that's what was going down at that time. will's lyrics on this album are pretty awesome, especially in the second half of NASA and the powder to the people ending.

"swallow a little of that sea

throw up a little of it on your knees
now doesn't that bring you back to the beginning

i see that as having a beautiful, child-like moment at the ocean. "throw up a little of it on your knees" i see as splashing water around, but i dont know. maybe it's about sex, i'll have to ask him.

Dance Gavin Dance – The Robot With Human Hair Pt. 2 Lyrics 17 years ago
everything you said after "he was always high when he wrote" is false, just so you guys know. will has only written a few lines of lyrics and jon didnt write kurts parts in zoloft. everyone pretty much did their own part. and to the dude below, you're half right.. the band did have to make up some lyrics in the EP's booklet because they werent words or were just random jumbles of words that didnt make sense.

Dance Gavin Dance – Me And Zoloft Get Along Fine Lyrics 17 years ago
as much as i hate doing this, here we go!

"I'd also like to point out how zach garren spoke about how certain members of emarosa weren't talented enough to do their own parts on the new relativity cd, and kurt travis just did an interview with ihatethescene.com and stated that will swan was the one that wrote all bass and guitar riff's for the band. so that makes him a hypocrite."

i wrote 99% of all the notes i play on that cd, the only time i didn't is when will had some lead that was incomprehendable without him putting chords underneath, and even then i'd put my own spin on the part. and to clear that up, will only wrote a few basslines for the cd. you can usually tell which ones are his because they stick out.

"And I have seen dgd live since jonny and jon and eric have left and it is nothing compared to what they were like with the original line up. DGD say they are such a strong band and almost half the band has quit. How does that make sense?"

every member but one (eric) that has quit dgd was bound to happen at one point or another, we just didnt know how long they would last. we all feel this is the strongest we have been. we have the best musicians the band has had at this moment and we are more excited than ever to make more music. if you have a problem with that, bummer.

always remember, if you have a problem with music, start your own band. the power is in your hands. i dare you.

conspiracy theories! it was a kurt impersonator in that video ;) what kurt meant by jon mess had to "take a break" is that he quit.. it was just a bad use of language. a break doesnt always necessitate a revival. does that even make sense? i hope not, let's keep brewing this soup

Dance Gavin Dance – Hot Water On Wool Lyrics 17 years ago
some of my favorite jon lyrics:

5 Hot wool on water

Whats the right word for this
Ashamed? No horrified
Its an action, delayed reaction, I've got taxes and bills to pay. Something's flapping its wings at me, someone's clapping I guess we're on tv

Stop now you've ruined it all stop now you've obtained it all.
We'll call you back it's a fact no its not that you lack something indefinitely

Im waiting to see if it comes to me or if its tied to a safe that just hit the sea floor

Press the pressure point on my neck, my head will snap off and roll into the secret passage we built for escorting the rapist to the victim. Did you manage your time? Do you know how I do? Downpour, downpour, downpour, downpour, oh the boredom involved in patience

Well ill make a fist and rip the threads we've sewn, since its come to this, it feels like nobodies home,
so my cover's blown, rip open the threads we've sewn

6 Hot water on wool reprise
Let's take some time to reflect and restart
we tip over three wheeled shopping carts
a crippled man with his mangled hands looks at the blonde with her hideous orange fake tan
decide decide decide, who thinks that I am out of line for being sober finding four leaf clovers lawn mowers and truck towers, so lucky all of the time
decide decide decide, I've got a mind and its weighing me down, 28 pounds, and lucky for me, so lucky for me, ill never see that bitch again.

Well ill make a fist and rip the threads we've sewn, since its come to this, it feels like nobodies home,
so my cover's blown, rip open the threads we've sewn


Well I lied with a fantastic picture I, well I lied
We're going in new directions
Well I lied with a fantastic picture I, well I lied
From sleeping away the century
well let's start from the beginning right now, I'd do that if you weren't so impatience, well ill stop you and give me the time of day, its so sad I've got no more lines to read

Dance Gavin Dance – People You Know Lyrics 17 years ago
maybe he says... Someone please, please write a script that's made for me that appeals to people listening to this cd, I gotta wish, I gotta wish that all of this was something special.
I need a drink I need a pill, no wait I was over two years sober, but this guy he said that I was on drugs
I should give some money to that bitch
or I could just get a real fucking job
I am a prick, look at me go I can get lucky playing some shows I m a bitch
ima go get some new expensive shit
oh man I hurt, emotions they suck, but ill just tell people I don't give a fuck about that shit
Aint nobody fuckin with me man
aint nobody fuckin with me
Rancid is the sound of my voice croaking its drama across and orchestra of friendly faces singing along with their dying concern
Rancid is the sound of my voice croaking its drama across an orchestra of friendly faces singing along with their dying concern to my bullshit
Where did our honor go, I think I know, we've all been fucking each other in bathrooms at parties
where did my money go, I spent it on blow, you know that I fucked all my homies hos
where did our morals go
I left them in cabo
my parents can pay for the abortion you k now
who has a plan?
We hold out our hands in hope for a free ride to successful endeavors
the weak are the liars the strong think too much
I am too cynical to say I don't give a fuck
the weak are the liars the strong think too much
I am too cynical to say I don't give a fuck
I need money, I need clothes, I need women, I need blow
Something is very fucking wrong
resting your head on your best friend sisters shoulder
your mother's job is to fuck all your neighbors
bodies thrusting to the beat of our shame
Where did our honor go I think I know we've all been fucking each other in bathrooms at parties
where did my money go, I spent it on blow, you know that I fucked all my homies hos
where did our morals go
I left them in cabo
my parents can pay for the abortion you know
who has a plan we hold out our hands
in hope for a free ride to successful endeavors
give my regards to all you shady fucks
thorn in my fucking side
loyalty honesty trust respect humility sincerity
we are all so full of fucking shit
we are all so full of fucking shit

"but leave it to the music, that's what it's all about, not revealing secrets about someone getting a girl pregnant." sorry buddy but jonny already told everyone, i revealed nothing. i am scared for the baby though. before, jonny was just destroying himself for the most part, but now there is a baby involved that he is supposed to be responsible for and that just freaks me out. fuck all your stupid drama though kids, start your own band and do something or just stop talking because you dudes have no clue about anything at all. peace

i have no problem with any of the other guys personally since i dont know them personally, the only thing that kinda bugs is that we hear they are influenced by us and stuff, and then we kick out our singer because he isnt fit to be in a band, and they pick him up and try and sound even more like us. im sorry for speaking my mind. this is a stressful enough business, its even more stressful having to keep my hand over my mouth. so much bullshit going on. im sorry for insulting them as musicians, but if you're going to try and give up for your life for music, be able to do it yourself, thats all i ask. make it real, make it passionate.

yeah you're looking way too deep. jon actually had his part before any of the other lyrics were done to be fair.. the other lyrics were just kind of freestyled and written up on the spot.. well the chorus part at least.. hence the funny lyrics. it's a light song and a nice break from all the crazy spastic songs we do. it goes good with the whole album piece.

Emarosa – Her Advice Cost Us a Life Lyrics 17 years ago
to make a long story short he met a girl on tour when they were both out-of-this-world drunk, knocked her up, she had an abortion because jonny raising a kid? come on... then jonny joins a kinda christian band so he writes a song about that abortion being a murder. he did like her for a couple months but that comes with the sexual territory. plus, 2 alcoholic parents (ive never seen 2 people more drunk) are not a good combo so i think she did the right thing at least

Dance Gavin Dance – Uneasy Hearts Weigh the Most (feat. Nic Newsham) Lyrics 17 years ago
I've got lies to tell your children
when my smile pierces through your bones
Right through your bones
The grass is green inside my yard
I can make you laugh so fucking hard it hurts you
inside your bones

I suggest a drive, lets take the back road
Lets get lost lets lose our minds
Hey, little girl, i think we found it tonight
I think we glow that fucking bright, oh
And when she laughs I like it
Like "oh ha ha ha ha ha"

"Holy shit she smells like heaven
Been best friends since we were eleven
And oh my god I like her.."
"Yeah, I heard you like her...
Baby, I thought that we had something
Compared to him I'm next to nothing
Oh my god I like her..."
"Yeah I heard you like her..."

I am a million fucking bucks
I am a thousand fucking fucks
Your bitch is dead, she was hit by a truck
What the fuck!

that's how i feel. maybe i'm biased because i helped write these new songs, but i can tell you that we did not put in even one note of "filler" on this album. every note is intentional and has a purpose. everything works together. it may take more than a few lessons to get whats going on, but when you do, i think you'll be surprised.

and as for emarosa, we could care less. we had the same guy record our cd's and apparently emarosa had to not only have that gtuy play their keyboard and bass parts because their guys werent good enough, he even had to arrange and structure their songs because they were a mess. basically, that band isn't self sufficient and cant exist without the help of others. thats just plain sad. in case you're wondering, none of our songs were changed when we recorded,..
