Dance Gavin Dance - Current Events (Visualizer)

LYRICS
Dang cricket
Rabbit spinach
I’ve been stuck in the land of digits
I'm really five foot ten please try to believe me

Poor wording
Out of courage
No luck with the playful verbiage
Used all but ten percent of possible meanings

You really ought to know by now
That you get what you give
And if you don’t commit
You’ll be desperate just to fit in

They don’t practice
Then they wonder why they suck
Patient? Always been
Now don’t get outta touch

I should have told them that I know better
but now I'll show ‘em that I’m know no quitter

I sit my house sucking smoke through my mouth
Glued to my couch trying not to go psychotic
I got cable to learn another angle
But I’m unable to get the hell out of my own head
It’s been about 15 years since I’ve changed my mind about any opinion
Clutching to all the same fears that live the tissue of my protoplasm
Talking heads
“Fuck the feds”
So well read
I’m impressed
How did you acquire all this undue confidence
By babbling about current events
And begging people “smash that like?”

Who that
Do that
Make improvements
Work the lane
Til worth consuming

Done

Bear that
Wear that
Slanging pain
Art like daggers, ball ‘n chain

Done

You’re never honest
Telling folks what they’ve missed
And now they’re all pissed
Trying not to be neurotic
Got no precision to leverage your ambition
Say you’ve got vision
Well, why are you always so God damn wrong?

It’s been about 15 years since I’ve changed my mind about any opinion
Clutching to all the same fears that live the tissue of my protoplasm
You offer nothing but you want it all
You need the adequate to cover for your shortfalls
Propitiating to your own cabal
Pitiful tantrums to show them you’re not small

Dying
In a dream
I should have fooled myself with self esteem
I wanna be oozing health
like sub machine
Instead, I’m chomping on rockets and sucking cream

“I’m really 5’10 please try to believe me” - hits home for real

[JohnSmith-thlx]

I am in a loss for words. This album feels big and not because of the length. Every song stands out and is structurally interesting, not to mention how great Jon, Tilian and Andrew sound together. Instrumentally it's also absolutely fantastic.

[theoneguy]

This has been Jon Mess' album. That done is a work of art 🔥🔥🔥

[mattwolfen]

I KNOW this song is about to be slept on so hard but it's easily the best on the whole album.

[paulandrews]

It’s rare this far into a band’s career to release, what I believe to be, their magnum opus. This album is huge, but never overstays it’s welcome.

[flexjc]

Andrew’s part on this I think is my favorite on the album!

[softnimbus]

When Jon said "Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done"

I felt that

[inyrui]

That opener is up there with Bloodsucker and Philosopher King

[livecarsonreaction]

Can't wait to listen to the instrumental version of this album. That opening riff is some juicy post hardcore stuff

[VicodinElmo]

1:06 - 1:40 Can we just appreciate this entire bit

[piggybank]

What in the hell did we do to deserve this... DGDs music is too good to be true sometimes!!

[TenaciousJoe]

0:18 love that riff and Tillian’s vocals come in

[matheusemmanuel]

dgd songs take a few days to hit me, this one got me today. Tim did a great job, the bassline is simply perfect 🖤🖤🖤 amazing how danceable this song is as the same time is a banger

[PARRISH]

THIS! The whole album is so hot. Dance Gavin Dance just can't miss. I love every album and I'm never let down. Don't stop being you boys!

[Jonqen]

THIS IS THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR! This song is my favourite from it

[DatKellyBean]

this album honestly I didn't think was going to be this freaking incredible. I should have never second guessed DGD because honestly this is I think their best album and truly their magnum opus. Every song is a banger!!! thank you dance gavin dance <3

[andrewbenedict]

Musical genius omg there is not one bad song on this whole album! This song and die another day are my two favs but they all ROCK

[hanksproject]

0.22 its so very high voices of tillian for me. I love it.

[stephencole]

This and Synergy are the top shelf picks off this album.

[erthquake]

Man, Jon ad-libbing at 2:11 really reminded me of Bloodmeat by Protest the Hero.
