Dance Gavin Dance - On the Run

Pop that, shock and awe, get that grab it, go go claws
I go broke when I assume I suck, flex my settlement, I’m selling stuff
Get that, go in raw, have a baby, adopt a dog
Well I blasted enacted and off to space, Well I practiced adapted, and it felt great

Right now I need somebody
A little taste of honey

Legs don’t matter, they’re just softening, I’m limpin
Bugs don’t matter, no death is suffering, so squish it.

I'm giving in this time
Temptation running wild
Shutting down my mind

You got me on the run (uh oh)
You know me more than anybody (uh oh)
You caught me with the gun in my hand (uh oh)
But I don't care bout anybody but you

I'm on a roll
I can't contain myself
I need a taste

Don't tell me that we're done (uh oh)
I know you more than anybody (uh oh)
I'll make it up to you I swear (uh oh)
Cuz I don't care bout anybody but you

I got a feeling that you're dropping the bomb tonight
And leaving me on my own
Took all your pictures off the wall and you were cold as ice
When we talked on the phone
If you want it come home maybe we could work it out
You know I would take it back if I could
Or we could leave it in the past and try make it out
Hit the radio and set the mood

I did you wrong now let me atone
Cuz I don't think we'll make it all alone
Alone
I got a feeling that we're here to stay
Stick with me and I can take you there
I'm not about to throw it all away
Holding on to what we got, so rare

I am excited for this album. Tillian seems like the guy I'd trust buying a macbook from.

[daveF]

Everything this band puts out is a goddamn masterpiece. Once again Jon Mess with the killer lyrics, and wow! Tillian has grown on me.

[kangjj]

That ending with Jon Mess cracks me up.. this song makes me happy for no discernible reason other than that

[richardmoran]

At least 1 rise band knows the meaning of originality

[skinnyman]

If there was an award for best lyricist, Jon Mess would win it every fucking time

[TWTNWmusic]

I loved Tilian in Tides Of Man. I love Tilian as Tilian. I love Tilian in DGD. I love all of DGD. Johnny is never coming back, there's obviously a reason Matt is not in the band, Kurt found his home in ALLB, so now they have Tilian. (I'm butt-hurt people don't seem to like him.)

[ChristopherGonzalez-sngs]

The end makes me cry cuz it's so beautiful

[hcx]

Dance Gavin Dance never puts out a bad album, this band has given me so many memories. Love this band.

[SweChapz]

I could replay that ending all day long!

[amygrein]

I love this song. And just found out hes singing about squishing bugs! Now im sad! Dont squish bugs just for the heck of it!

[steffengotsch]

I think this video goes deeper than many people are realizing. With the video highlighting the robots in Tilian's parts and the Animals in Mess' parts, the album art of the robots and animals fighting shows the divide between the older DGD fans and some of the new ones. Then, later, as the second half of the song rolls in, the animals and robots are highlighted over Tilian's singing, signifying this album will be an album for every type of DGD fan. Or maybe I'm over-analyzing. I do remember Feerick saying somewhere that this album will have a DBM2/Acceptance Speech vibe.

[BrokenToews]

The main problem I had with Acceptance Speech was that Tilian's highs were almost unnaturally high; not necessarily bad, but a little more difficult to listen to on a regular basis than Kurt or Jonny. His change here towards his older Tides of Man-ish style is exactly what I was hoping for, and I am unnaturally excited to hear the rest of this album.

[leemann]

Tillian's lyrics at the end are magical. They are so simple yet they flow perfectly.

[PONCHEEZED]

Tfw when you've been in love with this chick for months and she drops the bomb she doesn't want a relationship. This song keeps me sane

[ImPwnedByaPanda]

5 years later and I still have the MacBook I bought with them

[xxParkFanxx]

Tilian stepping up huge, love you guys so much. Thank you for never quitting.

[lexisrez]

I feel like Acceptance Speech was just released last month. Already a new album?! It's like Santa stopped by ny house twice in one night

[ChrisP]

Jon Mess' screams sound so raw now! He sounds so good. I always have liked tilian.. I think he's a great fit for the band. They seem so complete now since he stepped in.

[DeadlyLazer]

Damn... I don't usually cry in songs but... Damn...that last part. Had me sobbing

[nickmathis]

Dance Gavin Dance.. one of the few bands that consistently puts out good material.
