lyrics
THEY WENT FROM THAT’S SO RAVEN STRAIGHT INTO PAVEMENT
THEY STARTED WITH THE BEST OF’S AND GOT SOME PERSONAL FAVOURITES
HUGGED UP TO THAT CRASS CREW
THEN SLID INTO THE REPLACEMENTS
THE SUBURBS AREN’T THE SAME GAME
I REMEMBER WHEN WE CASED THEM
STARING INTO THAT DARK ABYSS
SEEING HOPE BUT AVOIDING IT
MAYBE YOU HEARD ME OR MAYBE YOU DIDN’T
BUT EITHER WAY THIS IS DIMINISHED
AND EITHER WAY THIS IS GONNA BE FINISHED
NOW WE’RE GETTING OCD
WITH THEM DRAMA QUEENS
THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT
YOU AND ME AND ME AND ME
SWOLLEN OUT IN THE SUMMERY
YA, IT’S NOT ALL THAT FUNNY
BUT THERE’S HOPE IN THE JOKE
WHEN ALL YOU DO IS DREAM
LEANING INTO THAT DARK ABYSS
SEEING HOPE BUT AVOIDING IT
MAYBE YOU HEARD ME OR MAYBE YOU DIDN’T
BUT EITHER WAY THIS IS DIMINISHED
EITHER WAY IT’S GONNA FINISH
NOW WERE TURNING OLD WOULDS INTO PRETTY SCARS
WHILE ALL THE KIDS AROUND HERE ARE KICK FLIPPING TO BIG STAR
NOW THE ALL THE KIDS AROUND HERE THEY WANT TO BORROW MY CAR
IT AIN’T EASY BEING ME BUT IT AIN’T EASY BEING YOUNG ANYMORE
IF YOU CAN BACK UP THE TRAILER YOU CAN BE IN THE BAND
IT’S A SKILL SET THAT EVERY DRUMMER SHOULD HAVE
ONLY LEANING SLIGHTLY ON YOUR BACK UP PLAN
WITH YOUR BLACK FLAG SHIRT UNDER YOUR DAY JOB DRAB
HANGING ONTO THAT DARK ABYSS
NEEDING HOPE BUT AVOIDING IT
NEEDING HOPE BUT DESTROYING IT
THEY STARTED WITH THE BEST OF’S AND GOT SOME PERSONAL FAVOURITES
HUGGED UP TO THAT CRASS CREW
THEN SLID INTO THE REPLACEMENTS
THE SUBURBS AREN’T THE SAME GAME
I REMEMBER WHEN WE CASED THEM
STARING INTO THAT DARK ABYSS
SEEING HOPE BUT AVOIDING IT
MAYBE YOU HEARD ME OR MAYBE YOU DIDN’T
BUT EITHER WAY THIS IS DIMINISHED
AND EITHER WAY THIS IS GONNA BE FINISHED
NOW WE’RE GETTING OCD
WITH THEM DRAMA QUEENS
THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT
YOU AND ME AND ME AND ME
SWOLLEN OUT IN THE SUMMERY
YA, IT’S NOT ALL THAT FUNNY
BUT THERE’S HOPE IN THE JOKE
WHEN ALL YOU DO IS DREAM
LEANING INTO THAT DARK ABYSS
SEEING HOPE BUT AVOIDING IT
MAYBE YOU HEARD ME OR MAYBE YOU DIDN’T
BUT EITHER WAY THIS IS DIMINISHED
EITHER WAY IT’S GONNA FINISH
NOW WERE TURNING OLD WOULDS INTO PRETTY SCARS

This entire album rips. I've had this on repeated play several times since it came out. I wish I had heard it a week earlier when they played in Boston. One of my fav albums in this genre period.

Aggressively Frantic and sad songs disguised as upbeat / happy ones. Rot is a jam with a capital J.

The melancholy and frustration definitely gets to you.
go to album -
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising.
go to album -
Terrific, marauding post-punk that will thrill fans of Idles with its pairing of cutting riffs and wry spoken/sung lyrics.
go to album -
An expansive intermingling of noise rock and art pop from Aussie rockers Agency; All sales from this record go directly to charity.

Not many good political bands anymore, but then I heard these guys! Their lyrics pack a punch!
