Dance Gavin Dance - We Own the Night

Forget my jealously
You swallowed the demons on your own
There's nothing left for me
I keep thinking back to when you said
"We own the night"

Stomp that feeling; your puke is a mutant
Can’t think of who did this, well I grew stupid
Say accidents happen, it’s admirable acting
Flicking the back of your ear with my finger

Separate is the way though, no second is the place though
Just fake it through the day and the night is your god
See you in battle; your boat is my paddle
Your life is my business; your plaque on my wall

Let your hair down have one more round
Drink til you believe it
Sloppy kisses, dirty wishes
Baby, this is living
Roller-coaster
Up and down in random motion
Oh come in closer
Ditch your problems, better days are coming

Get up off the wall come on get down get down
Give into moment and live now live now
Get up off the wall come on get down get down
Give into the moment, feel it now

I have the heart of a coward
Here in my arms is exactly where I want you
We own the night

Stomp that feeling; your puke is a mutant
Can’t think of who did this, well I grew stupid
Say accidents happen, it’s admirable acting
Flicking the back of your ear with my finger

Separate is the way though, no second is the place though
Just fake it through the day and the night is your god
See you in battle; your boat is my paddle
Your life is my business; your plaque on my wall

You’ll forget I’m wrong

Call your phone and open my fate cuz I know you're so connected
I need poison mitigate my pain
Feel my toes go golden up in flames
Give me false hope in my veins
Tranquilize and modify my brain

Where did I go wrong?
There's nothing I can do the thrill is gone
So I play these nervous songs
Pretend that I’m not barely hanging on

And medicate
Medicate
Medicate me all night long
Medicate
Medicate
Medicate me all night long

Do it again, do it again, do it again, now grow.

I run quickly out of air, by the way I hate your celebration
I run quickly out of air, by the way I hate our aging faces

Can't. Stop. Listening. 2:16 to 3:14 is like a drug I can't get enough of. This band is absolutely stellar.

[gapastro]

YOU'LL! FOR! GET! I'M! WRONG!
Prepare yourself for that rhythm change. It changed my life.

[Jedi-For-Hire]

I'm so happy Tilian is putting his stamp on this band now. DGD is Life people get it together.

[Birdseed]

To everyone saying DGD is back. They never left.

[BB-BAakaMR-BLEGH]

Does anyone else have the feeling that DGD would work as soundtrack to literally anything? Movies, tv shows, video games, sports broadcasts, etc.

[denyeazadini]

Am I the only one who just loves the extended in the background



;-;

[FullMoonUmbreon]

How is this possible? How did they get even better than they already were? This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my entire life.

[JetPuff]

That bassline around 2:30 is sick, love that they have the same lineup two records in a row, sounds like they figured out how to play to Tilian's strengths and this should be a damn good album.

[marcorodvas]

best song so far with this singer. i also think it's the only song i've heard with him where DGD preserves their old essence/sound.

[KSragsriches]

If this song is a reflection on the new album then it'll probably be one of my favorites they've put out. Seriously, this is so fucking rad

[tylerellis]

tbh this song explains (in my opinion) One being deeply in love with another, yet not being good enough.


I really love how this band has grown.

[Rawkenday]

Lol @ people pointing out bad lyrics as a weak point of the band... Jon Mess has always written incoherent lyrics for tracks because he just fills words in to fit with his unclean vocals... Hence why the only album that has strong lyrical content is Happiness, because he wasnt part of the band. DGD is not a sappy "sing along" band, the vocals serve as their own chaotic instruments.

[joganditheorangutan]

Dance Gavin Dance has been one of my favorite bands for the last 7 years or so. I know I'll probably catch a lot of flack for this, but Tilian Pearson is my favorite vocalist they've ever had. Him and Jon together just...blows my mind. The last record was amazing, and from what I've heard so far on this one it is too. I get to see them live in 9 days. Cannot wait.

[DidiChandouidoui]

I've waiting this song all my life, like we say in my country : UNE GROSSE BAFFE !
Keep going guys :D

[TheCharlieChitty]

Dance Gavin Dance is a great band because they sound great, but if I was forced at gunpoint to expand upon that, I'd say that they're great because they're never lazy. They always put more work than necessary into a song. Some bands just go "Okay, hook, verse, hook, verse, ship it." but DGD just seem to only put out stuff that they've put an inordinate amount of time into. This song, and many like it they've done, could very well have been three completely different songs instead of one singular and much more captivating song. Like, take "On the Run" for example. Do you really think they unintentionally dropped the rhyme "anyone" despite the "run" and "done" in the first and second verse respectively? No. It's all meticulously planned and it shows. And THAT'S what sets the band apart.

[urielkosovo]

Been listening to this band for about 7 years now, and they never get boring. This is one of those bands that you can't stop listening just from hearing one song. Good job guys!

[SorenVoices]

When people rage about bands in the comment section, you guys give me good entertainment when I'm scrolling, Long Live DGD

[XdisaterX]

Just discovered them, THEY'RE INSANE, it's actualy what i need and like.

[kazlzak]

Tilian brings a uniqueness that they've never had before (not saying they've never been unique) and stability that DGD has always needed. Great song can't wait to hear the rest of the Album!!!

[UchihaMadara]

Medicate me all night long. I'm addicted to this song.
