lyrics
I’VE OFFERED MYSELF UP FOR A CHANGE OF PACE
ONE WHERE I COULD LOVE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING
UNCONDITIONALLY
OR,
WELL,
WITH SOME CONDITIONS PENDING
BUT MORE OR LESS IN THE POSITIVE DIRECTION I’M SENDING
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SWITCH OFF
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SWITCH OFF
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SWITCH OFF
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SWITCH
THEN THINGS GOT ALL HAZY
THE LIGHTS GOT ALL LAZY
LIKE THEY WERE SHIFTING THEIR WEIGHT IN THE SPACE
IT FELT CRAZY BUT KIND OF AMAZING
LETTING THAT DIMENSION SLIP INSIDE ME
IN A T-SHIRT THAT SAID ‘EVERYDAY IS FRIDAY’
THEN GOOD OL’ LUCIFER HE STEPPED IN
HE SAID ‘LET’S PROTECT HIM’
HE WAS DRESSED SO MAJESTIC
I WAS PRETTY IMPRESSED WITH MYSELF IN HIS REFLECTION
HE SAID
‘LET ME LIVE ON IN YOUR TRENDS, C’MON MAN! DON’T JUST THROW ME AWAY WITH THEM!
MY STUPID SICK HEART IT JUST CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE,
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL, LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL OVER ME…LET THAT HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE START TO BEAT.’
ONE WHERE I COULD LOVE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING
UNCONDITIONALLY
OR,
WELL,
WITH SOME CONDITIONS PENDING
BUT MORE OR LESS IN THE POSITIVE DIRECTION I’M SENDING
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SWITCH OFF
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SWITCH OFF
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SWITCH OFF
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SWITCH
THEN THINGS GOT ALL HAZY
THE LIGHTS GOT ALL LAZY
LIKE THEY WERE SHIFTING THEIR WEIGHT IN THE SPACE
IT FELT CRAZY BUT KIND OF AMAZING
LETTING THAT DIMENSION SLIP INSIDE ME
IN A T-SHIRT THAT SAID ‘EVERYDAY IS FRIDAY’
THEN GOOD OL’ LUCIFER HE STEPPED IN
HE SAID ‘LET’S PROTECT HIM’
HE WAS DRESSED SO MAJESTIC
I WAS PRETTY IMPRESSED WITH MYSELF IN HIS REFLECTION
HE SAID
‘LET ME LIVE ON IN YOUR TRENDS, C’MON MAN! DON’T JUST THROW ME AWAY WITH THEM!
MY STUPID SICK HEART IT JUST CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE,
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL, LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL OVER ME…LET THAT HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE START TO BEAT.’

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.
