New Direction Lyrics
What do you mean that it's time, time for me to grow up?
I don't want any part.
It's right to follow my heart.
The new kids ran, ran out the back door fast,
and the bands that came before
they had their noses in the air.
Pretending that they care about our scene
just because our money's green.
I'll tell you stage dives make me feel more alive
than coded messages in slowed down songs.
Now you're so ashamed, now I'm so ashamed of you.
We believed the same things.
You stand to the side. Rebirth of hardcore pride.
It all came true,
too bad you can't see all the good things that I see.
Back in, back in the days
when I'd wait to see the old bands play.
It didn't seem like wasted days.
I was so sincere, but now I see more clearly.
Music's only work to them.
It's not to me.
So I say hats off to bands that change.
Good luck, go your own way.
Why play for us if your heart's not in it?
Cause what might, what might seem dumb to you
is pounding in my heart.
Now you're so ashamed, now I'm so ashamed of you.
We believe the same things.
You stand to the side. Rebirth of hardcore pride.
It all came true. Too bad you can't see. No, you just can't fucking see it.
Now you just turn your back.
You said I don't want it anymore.
Old friends you attack.
Our pain out of touch.
You don't get it do you?
New stage, new ideas.
You don't have to make excuses for us.
Sitting there looking back, I'm scared.
Don't spoil memories of the way things were.
I don't want any part.
It's right to follow my heart.
The new kids ran, ran out the back door fast,
and the bands that came before
they had their noses in the air.
Pretending that they care about our scene
just because our money's green.

this song kicks ass, how could no one have commented on this yet?!
this is my favorite gorilla biscuits song. it is beautiful. and the album start today is one of the greatest punk rock/hardcore (fuck it, just greatest MUSIC) releases ever.
xtheyareshitx.
dude, get those fucking X's out of here. those are for the fdaggot scene kids, not true HC kids. the only time its acceptable to use X's is for abbriviating straight edge.

any way, this song is about how the first wave of HC bands (Flag, Minjor Threat,SSD, etc.) looked down on the second wave of HC, but not necesarally the bands i mentioned

this quote shows that. also most first wave HC bands started slowing...

"Cause what might, what might seem dumb to you is pounding in my heart."
this touches me personally, b/c 2 of my friends that were really into HC with me, now think its stupid and pointless. they've moved on to more "musical" shit and totally forget that music is also about the feel the vibe the message. but fuck em. i stay true to where my hearts feels it should be.
Great song. Always gets me pumped up when I listen to it.
this song gets me sooo pumped up, gorilla biscuits are soo fuckin sick, my favorite song by them, hardcore pride forever.
I think the band they are talking about in this song was Chain of Strength.
much love for this song up their with the rest of the hc anthems....always underrated
the intent behind this song makes me feel good. but the utopian ideas of the hardcore community is something i hope everyone woudl be able to tap into for a short time. i truly believe it's more of a thing reserved for youth and during the maturing years. but a true time indeed in one's life where WE choose the things that matter. settign aside the love of money for the love of the 'cause or whatever it may be. friendships..the scene...etc.
i like he said 'hats off to bands that change' by not repeating the nonsense he sings against in this song commands respect. as we know civ and others in the band have themselves changed and 'gone seperate ways' and lost the 'heart 'which is spoken of in this song.
a favorite song opf mine indeed.... timeless as well. this song will be just as good in another 10 years from now.
