Dance Gavin Dance – Acceptance Speech Lyrics 10 years ago
I sat for about an hour analyzing this song. This is what I got. I realize that this explanation is very loosely connected and it is my own explanation. Not the people's who made it.
There are three main parts to the song;
1:The first part conveys corruption in the world and themself in that corrupted world.
2: This is the part that doesnt have any lyrics, its just chaos. I think of it to represent insanity or the chaos of insanity.
3:This is the part with "Im the one with my hands around the gun" and So what ill die alone all right" and is about about suicide and the acceptance thereof.
4:The rap. It took me forever to figure out, but, the rap is about conformity. "I woke up in a new Bugatti" is part of a popular song. Earlier in the song a lot of things about human nature or natural things come up. "Common ancestor"/"Awkward offensive hold, pefectly natural" And evolution, which relates to "common ancestor" is all about conformity. And in nature, everything conforms to survive. Conform to the mainstream and you will forget about all the bad and survive, is assentially what I get from the rap part.

Now this s how it all fits together in my view. (Again this is just my view and it makes the most sense to me) Since part one is how the world is, and cannot change, part 2(insanity), 3(Suicide) and 4(Conformity) are all choices that someone provided with the information in part one can make. But only one can be picked. You cant go insane, commit suicide, then conform. at least in the songs order. And the title "Acceptance Speech" is a reference to that this must be accepted; that being yourself and the world, and choices 3 and 4 is what can happen when you accept it. If you dont accept it, you pick choice 2. I have about two page fulls of possible explanations of the individual song lyrics, and this is what I find fits best. If you have anything to add or something that is flawed with my interpretation, please add onto it or correct me.
