Dance Gavin Dance - Death of a Strawberry

Sick of being in my head and thinkin about my fate and worried about my health
Wanna waste away my days with a pretty young thing and blow through all my wealth

I made some mistakes, not so good with planning
But I got some skills in easy living
Cut my ties with desperation
And learned to live with a little sensation

Hey!
Just for the day we'll pretend I'm made of money
I'll be your sugar daddy
Hey!
Let's make a fool of ourselves and crash a party
Act like we own the place

Swinging back and forth
All my faults are peaking past the surface
Is it worth it to fall back down?

Please make way for the special invented armor
Mental protection if reality is ragin harder
Hello mister mime, hello medicine,
I believe denial makes me hella intelligent

We're way too caught up in the race with time
It's getting hard to take it in

We're tryin hard to be the first in line
Just wanna be a kid again
A kid again

Overwhelmed Again
Sing out
Out
Bury it away

Killing all the flies
I'm not done swinging back and forth yet
Forgive me for what I will do

I know we trust each other
Don’t fail the litmus
We all need partners for the pain of existence
My bedroom chemistry set ended up on your pinterest
Fledging allegiance to a few common interests

Claw my way to the top of the centipede
The sum of its parts is prescribing me symmetry
Every bone picked and decision was orchestrated
Cut the head off and the legs’ll call the action complacent

[Inkaddiction]

Rip tim…. Worlds not the same without you playing some funky ass bass ❤️

[Jewellab]

Why did it take me 10 years to hear this song!!!?? 😭 Been playing it on repeat ever since i first heard it!

[matthewgonzalez]

"I believe denial makes me hella intelligent"

Jon's perspective about ignorance could not be explained any better

[games]

"just wanna be a kid again" line hitting different right now

[Asia.Persuasia]

This song never gets old....Like, literally, never.

[Imdankx]

The reason I like DGD is because they aren't generic, and every album is different and keeps getting better. I will always be a DGD fan.

[HunnyBunz]

I'm not worthy of this song. Holy lord.... Tilian. A voice that could make a grown man cry. 

[SoulxDD]

2:17 Just makes me want to cry with how amazing his voice sounds

[joemesa]

Rip Tim this music got me through so much I hope they can still move forward as a band and not break up because of this tragic loss I’ve seen them three times and now I know how grateful and lucky I was to be there

[Thankfuldead]

"Jonny brings the soul, Kurt brings the funk, tillian brings the pop, and Jon brings the mess."

This is an addictive mix of joy and sadness. Farewell Strawberry

[WOAHFOX]

Currently praying that DGD will live forever.

[MrioL]

Tilian honestly killed it here. holy shit.

[therealjrad]

1:23 this is my favorite part of the song and quite possibly the entire album to be honest. Jon's screams matched with the brilliant instrumentals of both of the guitars present on this part is just amazing

[BlueHairScare]

DGD is one of the only bands i know that can balance the clean and unclean vox perfectly without sounding forced. This album is so progressive, it flows so much better than Acceptance Speech. Every line has its purpose.

[pia]

1:25 i did not expect that. just discovered this band & im already so hooked

[victormendoza]

No matter where I am physically and mentally they always put a smile on my face. Am I the only one who feels there lyrics speak a magnitude of words!

[casualmemer]

Their album covers all look like games of Where's Waldo

[boykiddman]

2:18 Damn this part takes me to a whole nother dimension.

[gigi__]

6 years later and this song is still so relevant to my life. DGD will always be amazing
