Depressionista Lyrics
Trained in the art of devastating the arts by remaining unmoved in their midst. We came down, down, down from that high and now we're looking for more. We're bloodless now, and we are uninterrupted by the majesty of it all. We're passed around, around, around like the currency of the friendless roads.
One trick pony. And the parlor isn't big enough for the both of us.
Til death do we rock? We're so full of shit. Til death do we rock! You keep buying it. Til death do we rock? You're so full of shit. Til death do we rock! You're still buying it.
The closed circuit of stimulus that runs between fashion and guilt is winding tighter around the heart. Our orbits are collapsing upon themselves. We're retreating into the vogue where we're sucking the blood from the necks of guitars.
Beg for the scraps of prose that piled up behind the bar. Though we try, try, try to get the melody wrong, but we remember the words. We're parasites but we are delicate in the way we bring each other down. We were oh so close to the start when they finished us.
Aim the mast at the ground. Aim the mast at the ground and sail us to the belly of the whale.
Til death do we rock? We're so full of shit. Til death do we rock! You keep buying it.
The closed circuit of stimulus that runs between the fashion and guilt is winding tighter around the heart. Our orbits are collapsing upon themselves but we stand in the traffic, indifferent to the grand histrionics of God. Unmoved.

Rated 0Â First off, I don't think you guys really know ETID if you think they would take a stab at their fans like that.
But anyway, to me it feels like this is a very cynical stab at bands like horse the band ( one trick pony). Bands who butcher music and then call it art or innovative. Another note is to suggest that, like someone said before me, that it is a lot about bands copying each other. But fashion and selling out are a big part of these lyrics as well.
People are saying Keith is taking a cheap shot at fans with the "'till death do we rock" line, but it is so much deeper than that. To me, it's calling out those bands for selling out - claiming it's all about the music when all they care about is the money, the fashion - these bands are like 5% music, 95% fashion and, using auto tune on their voices- they don't even actually sing. These factors all add up to these bands being fake, and yet people continue to buy their music.
"sucking the blood from the necks of guitars" - stealing music from those before is a really good translation, but I think Keith was also alluding to the fashion of vampires these days and the fact that a lot of these bands jump on to these fashion trends.
"the closed circuit of stimulus..." is my favorite part of the song. To me, he is suggesting that music, the news, tv, the whole media just kind of traps us all with this fashion, telling us what to think, what to buy and. How to act.
Well ladies and gentlemen, that's my two cents. Let me know what you think. I accidentally posted this into someones comment box. I apologize.
you clearly have never listened to or followed horse the band to go ahead and try and list them off as a "money grubbing one trick pony band." a band that maxes out credit cards in order to tour as many countries as financially possible, only to come out with about $300, and then get dropped by their label is not "in it for the money or fashion."

get your shit together and muster up a better example than just tossing out a name you're vaguely familiar with at best.

This seems to me, to be about selling out and the hypocrisy of mainstream bands. A comment on the way music is seriously lacking in credibility as of late.

I think its describing bands who don't know when to quit. Bands who are really old and are cashing in on kids of today. "Til death do we rock? your so full of shit/you keep buying it" sounds like their insulting their fans. and the one trick pony bit is pretty self explanitory
"Til death do we rock? We're so full of shit. Til death do we rock! You keep buying it." i agree with panterabmfv and darock420, it does sounds like they're taking a stab at their fans, (til deathdo we rock/you keep buyin it) or maybe the stereotypical fans? Then taking a stab at stereotypical bands who say "til death do we rock"
"We're retreating into the vogue where we're sucking the blood from the necks of guitars." It's like they're sucking music dry, you keep hearing the saem things, except from different bands, and they're tired of it.
