Dance Gavin Dance - Strawberry's Wake (Official Music Video)

LYRICS
I’m lost again
Where have my friends all gone
Been chasing stars so long that home feels like a distant memory
Guess I can turn my woes into familiar melodies

Hey I wanna setup shop
Reach in and grab that mop
Clean up the past, say I'm sorry

Hey I wanna eat my fear
Fingers they go in ears
La La La liberated

10,000 words cling to photos of memories
Can’t tell what hurts
But you know I’m the enemy

Everybody sins, everybody’s volatile
Everybody doubts decisions when they’re vulnerable
Nobody’s perfect, but everyone’s searching I’m sure

Roll the windows down, let the breeze blow heavy
Turn the music loud, let the fever come alive
Gotta feel that sound
When the blood pumps steady
Can’t drag you down
Come alive

I want you
To matter to you
Forget those, backstabbers

They say don’t get caught up in regret learn from
Everything you’ve lost, let go of all you’ve done
Everybody sins, everybody’s volatile
Everybody doubts decisions when they’re vulnerable
Nobody’s perfect, but everyone’s searching I’m sure

If you feel your feelings let the feelings heal your fucked up mind
Put your palms to the sky
And if you need some healing let the feelings open up your mind
Put your palms to the sky

[chozo]

My man Will leaving earth cuz his riffs are out of this world

[Lunette]

When I see Jon, i smile and know everything will be okay.

Rest in Peace, Tim Feerick. You will always be one of the greatest bassists to ever live.

[Kyle-fytb]

Tilian: Sad boi on sad plane
John: HEYYY

[coltinedwards]

It’s gonna be a good year. Whenever you feel down and depressed, just remember how lucky you are to have lived in the era of Dance Gavin Dance.

[eduardogerard]

RIP TIM.
That 03:02 lick will always make me remember of you and all your badassery with DGD.

REST IN POWER.

I am so unreasonably excited for afterburner. There are no words in any language known to man to combine into a statement that could accurately describe how much I love every iteration of this band.

[wodensol]

Really loving DGD's constant songwriting progression, they've really started evolving not only the song structures and instrumentals, but especially Jon's vocals. He is now using it on more than just a "scream this verse, wait for the next one, maybe some melodies here" - theyre actually using it as more of a chorusy, bridgey way, and the technique itself is more melodic and "singy" i suppose for lack of a better word. Its great, the section from 1:28 onwards is a perfect example of this.

Really changing up the usual metal/rock approach to songwriting, where its so verse chorus heavy, and using the harsh vocals only for the verses. In this song they take the main stage a lot, and the singing is second, yet it works so well.

DGD are on a totally different level, it's really impressive and enjoyable, especially since the music itself, the lyrics, are so indicative of total freedom and not taking itself so seriously, even though the songwriting itself is quite complex and different. It shows they're really enjoying it and, that, after all this time, they're still eager to create unique and different music, even with the title "Afterburner" setting an interesting precedent in regards to that.

"I'm lost again..." we're all lost today. We love you, Tim. You're easily my favorite bassist. You're sorely missed. 😔

Rest in peace, friend.

[joanx_ren]

Jon is having the time of his live recording this music video for sure

[andrewplaisance]

Jon Mess popping his head up in the airplane window screaming, GIVES ME

I WANT YOU TO MATTER TO YOU, FORGET THOSE BACKSTABBERS🖤

[bamlover]

Thank you for everything TIm, rest in peace and fly high

[stewartmitchell]

I lost my shit when Jon Mess popped up outside of the plane 😂

[veryawful]

Dance Gavin dance should just start a TV show at this point.

[danielleharrington]

Watching this for some comfort after hearing about Tim’s passing but all it did was make me cry harder. I can’t believe he is gone :(

[JDT]

I need more of Jon and Tillian singing/screaming together. Their tone and pitch just seem to vibe even on completely different sides of the spectrum

[skarlet_toki]

Jon should just be flight attendant of the year with his enthusiasm
