Dance Gavin Dance - One Man's Cringe (Visualizer)

LYRICS
Don't listen to acceptance speeches
Make them give it up
Say that winner sucks

Don’t listen to these mindless screeches
Nip me in the bud
Come and get your hug

Said you read it
Did you get it?
Bet you didn’t
Not gonna change, gonna change your mind
You won’t let it
Get imbedded
Apathetic
I’ll never change, never change your mind

Move on
I’ll move on
There’s somebody out there living in despair
Needing the words to this song
Move on
I’ll move on
Can’t spend my time making something for everyone
This was supposed to be fun

All I wanted was a blank page in a wide-open space and the one I love to come home to
But I got caught up the rat race suddenly your embrace doesn’t hit mark like it used to
You make your bed with the ones you deserve
Will you have the courage to project what you hold true?
All of your words get reduced to a blurb
Will you have the courage to project what you hold true?

No Thanks
Oh great
Complaints
From saints
Bad weather
Too much time spent trying to stay in line

No Thanks
Oh great
Complaints
From saints
More pressure
Hard to know better if you’re always right

What’s the meaning of this meme-less meme?
The inception of a dreamless dream?
I see you cringe at what I’m mentioning
Cause caring hurts, and all these feelings they sting

Playing through a headache when got into a rhythm
Playing through a headache aggravated by my enemies
Can I reinvent it when I feel like I’m imprisoned?
Can I reinvent it when I’m running out of memories?
I don’t need the credit I need something overwhelming
Save me from the pattern I am giving into everything
Can I reinvent it when I feel like I’m pretending
Can I reinvent it when I feel like I’m the enemy
All I wanted was a blank page in a wide-open space and the one I love to come home to
But I got caught up the rat race suddenly your embrace doesn’t hit mark like it used to
You make your bed with the ones you deserve
Will you have the courage to project what you hold true?
All of your words get reduced to a blurb
One man’s cringe is another man’s tattoo

[JohnSmith-thlx]

It blows my mind how amazing, interesting and "massive" every single song in this record is. Can't even decide which songs I like more, they are all incredible. Dance Gavin Dance delivered again and Jackpot Juicer is a golden album, just wow...

[SequenceBreaker]

Andrew and Tilian's back and forth at the end is immaculate

[adrianmoreno]

"Don't listen to acceptance speeches Make them give it up Say that winner sucks" OMG these 3 lines referencing Here Comes The Winner and Acceptance Speech is genius!

[thecataclysmotv]

No one talking about how deep the song itself hits during these trying times when everything is literal pvp rn. You gotta beat everyone else to succeed in life and it's not at all ideal. The song seems like a plea from someone who is tired of this rat race and just wants to be accepted as who they are and not what they have achieved. That's why 'One man's cringe is another man's tattoo', since success is subjective and different for everyone

[ThatPMF]

That guitar riff at 2:13 with Jon screaming over it is seriously the dopest shit ever

[robertgratson]

That little mathy guitar riff at 2:12 gave me LIFE

[thejdizzledizzle]

0:36
"There's somebody out there living in despair
Needing the words to this song"

many of us needed to hear that. Thank you 😢 🙏

[jordanweinberg]

2:35-3:05 is literal sex to my ears. I've never heard anything with so much embrace. It just sounds like the definition of flawless...and the lyrics...ugh.

[warclericwill]

This and ember have been my favorites so far good god.

[gabelachenman]

"All I wanted was a blank page

in a wide open space

and the one I love to come home too."

Right in the feels

[_tokii__]

Jon really did a lot of his sing screaming on this album and I'm all here for it. I really love 1:58.

[minoos]

The most melancholic and beautiful song on the album

[nickhalterman]

A year later I'm still running this back to back on this particular day. Much love, yall. See ya in Pheonix, DGD.

[ptrekboxbreaks]

the best band still doing single song they do is a masterpiece

[pechannnnnn]

“What’s the meaning of this memeless meme? The inception of this dreamless dream? I see you cringe at what I’m mentioning. Cause all caring hurts and all these feelings, they sting”

[frankcalabrese]

"One man's cringe is another man's tattoo".. says it all.

[isaiahcook]

I think the message of this song is that the pressure of trying to appeal to a people, or a way of life, or an interest in general can lead you into a conformist mindset where you have to fulfill that perception of yourself that you think other people see, and how easy it is to lose yourself, especially if that undertaking has a negative effect on you, as you know yourself. The last lyric "one man's cringe is another man's tattoo" speaks to me and has made me not only more understanding towards myself but everyone else struggling in the same way.

I hope this won't be the last time i listen to a new DGD album that changes my perception and ultimately my life.

DGD till I die

[cchristianjeremy]

That chorus makes me float until my head and body vanishes amidst a sea of clouds. Beautiful song.

[CheeseBawls]

All I wanted was a blank page
In a wide-open space
and the one I love to come home to
But I got caught up in the rat race
Suddenly your embrace
doesn't hit the mark like it used to

[axelvlll]

I think this is my favorite out of all the album, both Tilians and Andrews voice is so heavenly its crazy and jons screams are just perfect to the beat and it feels so genuine all together, I love you guys so much please stay together after all thats happened not only for the amazing music but the family you are put together.
