Dance Gavin Dance - Burning Down the Nicotine Armoire

(And they would follow you home)
(Until we wind up dead)
(Checking your pulse)
(We'd wait across the street)
(Under our tree)
(Outside the front door)
(In autumn's blind embrace)
(But you wouldn't let her anyway and we run)
(And we framed...)
(These moments)
Today your dream is dead
('Till one remaining cold calculated thought)
And when you wake it won't be there
('Till one remaining cold calculated thought)
Today your dream is dead
('Till one remaining cold calculated thought)
And sew that smile up with threads
('Till one remaining cold calculated thought)
Embrace this hope
And let it flow
You failed it
To shy to know your worth
Hurt from insensitive behavior
You're scared of what this really is
And where this might lead us next
And don't let me go, well I feel it
And don't let me go...
(It grabbed us by the throat, and we continue to breathe)
It's how I feel about love
That it's not worth it
(It grabbed us by the throat, and we continue to breathe)
It's how I feel about love
(Your license)
In failure dreams fall
Pushing nightmares over pavement
Walking these streets like a victim
Writing death threats in the wet cement
You say that I will lie
And let me win this life
You won't regret my love
(It grabbed us by the throat, and we continue to breathe)
It's how I feel about love
That it's not worth it
(It grabbed us by the throat, and we continue to breathe)
It's how I feel about love
(Your license)
My heart wants to
Make you happy at your best
You'd noticed all of this meaningless
I destroy you, even through,
The only things that I have left for your...
Condescending eyes, looking at each other's
White lies, my heart ache is useless...
So quickly we'll address the shadows running
from light, it'll take this breathe
Denying what is left of us
And if you could just wake up tonight
I'd be with you under this sky with you tonight

[@Stevenbrandon55]

I don't think many people really understand how real and emotional this sing is. In my opinion this is DGD's masterpiece. You can tell Jonny is putting his whole heart until every line sung in this song. And the whole part from 3:35 to the end is just incredible. It's like the song has become something much more than just a song because of the emotion and feelings put into it, you feel as if Jonny IS the song, not just a vocalist singing it. Shit, people don't know how incredible this truly is.

YES I swear my cousin and I are the only ones who say that. I'd like to join your club

[@CodySmeltzer]

This is, in my opinion, their most emotional song ever written, the last minute and a half is beautiful.

[@TheJSBUCK]

This song really showcases Jonny's incredible voice

[@snosock]

This fucking song. Holy fucking shit, I just can't get over it. You just can't find raw emotion like this in any other style of music. The instruments, the vocals are just so goddamned perfect.

[@averageViewer5]

exactly

[@jeffbell4434]

I agree with Alex beneath me completely. And not enough people realize that this album is still to this day one of their bests. A masterpiece that society will never truly appreciate fully.

[@TheDissentience]

Jeff Bell This album is like if Alexisonfire fans didn’t appreciate their self-titled album. Total waste.

[@RITKO]

They should do a remaster with Jonny and Jon's better screaming.

[@captainsplash]

This is my favorite song of all time! Just a pure masterpiece!

[@KeoniSoares]

Easily the best song on this record.

[@alexhennigh5242]

One hell of a way to burst onto the scene, granted this band's sound has almost completely changed from this they have failed to put out a terrible album thus far, too talented for their own fucking good

[@edwinmontoya3929]

listening to these guys since the beginning back in middle school. 28 now and I can honestly say they were WAAAAAY ahead of their time. This EP alone is a masterpiece. And to this day have yet to have a DGD song I don't like.

[@Hexecutable]

That old DGD just hits different man. Old Johnny :(

[@scurvylizard]

On point my friend. On point

[@halfpup]

my all time favorite DGD song. top 5 is probably 1. burning down the nicotine armoire 2. elder goose 3. strawberry swisher pt II 4. the robot with human hair pt II 5. uneasy hearts weigh the most

[@ofallmyintention9496]

This and the Robot With Human Hair Part 1 are still the best.

[@TheRationalist.]

I personally don't give a fuck if Jonny is a shitty dude. He has the best cleans of all time in my opinion. He could rip off fans for millions of dollars and I honestly won't give a shit as long as he puts out more music.

[@TheRationalist.]

***** That's all a matter of opinion. I enjoy Slaves. Like anything it's a matter of personal preference. I know that people say the instrumentals are really weak but they have never bothered me.

[@AsuraOO]

+Lucas Rosales its talent all of dgd is talented thats why their shit is so good

[@ofallmyintention9496]

+The Logician Which is what he was doing for his whole career....until Slaves. His new band is garbage compared to early Dance Gavin Dance Emarosa, Isles & Glaciers, his early solo stuff, or pretty much anything else.

[@TheRationalist.]

Adam XYZ Plenty of Slaves music is fine. People just bag on the instrumentals because they are bland and not unique. It isn't like Jonny's voice sounds any worse.

[@ofallmyintention9496]

The Logician His voice is great, still. But, there is more to music than someone's voice.

[@galos45]

One of the best songs of DGD in my opinion 🤌

[@Void-Realm]

[@chrisruppert8091]

[@elliottvetica]

@Stevenbrandon55 that is the response you want to hear from someone who appreciates music and a great vocalist! not just this but many songs you can hear that kind of emotion which sends shivers up your spine. and you feel it like tinnitus ringing through your ears.

[@ghostinadistortion]

En mi pensamiento, esta cancion empieza como medio desordenada con gritos y voces limpias, pero ya muy cerca del final se acomodan las voces para poder crear un clima entre triste y nostalgico

Why can’t we have music like this in 2024..

[@chikahakozaki7683]

Love this song

[@obtsfan]

the song title sums it up.. most addicting band ever

[@shilomurphy8289]

Okay. We get it guys. Jonny is great. But holy fuck. Matt Mingus (the drummer) was only 15 or 16 when this was recorded. What pure talent. And the screamer Jon Mess? The way he makes the lyrics to pt. 2 relate with this is pure art. Get off Jonny's dick and appreciate the other 5 dudes who helped make this great music. Eric Lodge on bass. Will Swan on guitar. Jonny is my favorite singer, but he is not what makes this band. Fucking A. xD

[@shilomurphy8289]

Matt is one of the best drummers ever in my opinion. The way he writes drums is unheard of.

[@ilikeyacutg854]

+Shilo Murphy He has a really weird, but amazing and unique style literally like everybody else in the band, including the vocalists. This is like modern art compared to classical art. It's so strange in the writing that you can't really see similarities with other bands in the same genre. They're definitely original.

[@larl-earson]

+Shilo Murphy duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude matt is my favorite drummer of all time. its insane how intricate his parts are.

[@MyoticTesseract]

Swan, Mingus, and Mess are like the backbone of this band or something.
