LYRICS
Dang cricket
Rabbit spinach
I’ve been stuck in the land of digits
I'm really five foot ten please try to believe me
Poor wording
Out of courage
No luck with the playful verbiage
Used all but ten percent of possible meanings
You really ought to know by now
That you get what you give
And if you don’t commit
You’ll be desperate just to fit in
They don’t practice
Then they wonder why they suck
Patient? Always been
Now don’t get outta touch
I should have told them that I know better
but now I'll show ‘em that I’m know no quitter
I sit my house sucking smoke through my mouth
Glued to my couch trying not to go psychotic
I got cable to learn another angle
But I’m unable to get the hell out of my own head
It’s been about 15 years since I’ve changed my mind about any opinion
Clutching to all the same fears that live the tissue of my protoplasm
Talking heads
“Fuck the feds”
So well read
I’m impressed
How did you acquire all this undue confidence
By babbling about current events
And begging people “smash that like?”
Who that
Do that
Make improvements
Work the lane
Til worth consuming
Done
Bear that
Wear that
Slanging pain
Art like daggers, ball ‘n chain
Done
You’re never honest
Telling folks what they’ve missed
And now they’re all pissed
Trying not to be neurotic
Got no precision to leverage your ambition
Say you’ve got vision
Well, why are you always so God damn wrong?
It’s been about 15 years since I’ve changed my mind about any opinion
Clutching to all the same fears that live the tissue of my protoplasm
You offer nothing but you want it all
You need the adequate to cover for your shortfalls
Propitiating to your own cabal
Pitiful tantrums to show them you’re not small
Dying
In a dream
I should have fooled myself with self esteem
I wanna be oozing health
like sub machine
Instead, I’m chomping on rockets and sucking cream

[@JohnSmith-th7lx]

I am in a loss for words. This album feels big and not because of the length. Every song stands out and is structurally interesting, not to mention how great Jon, Tilian and Andrew sound together. Instrumentally it's also absolutely fantastic.

[@Greatlakeskyle.]

The secret sauce is the constant changing of guitar tones that have solid range

[@christianfernandez9646]

It's good, but kind of feeling the absence of a heavier track. Something like Demo Team, Philosopher King, Bloodsucker, Say Hi

[@FuCkInGWhItEcHaPeL]

It’s hard not to obsess over the vocals on this album, but I’d also like to wager that the guitar work on this release pretty much trumps anything else in the DGD catalogue, aside from Mothership, which this record easily rivals, and honestly kind of feels like a counterpart to such

Bro in 5'11" but it's easier to lie and tell people you're 6ft bc if you're 5'10"-6ft and you're honest nobody believes you

[@Sxcheschka]

I smashed that like

[@livecarsonreaction]

Can't wait to listen to the instrumental version of this album. That opening riff is some juicy post hardcore stuff

[@PARRISH8809]

THIS! The whole album is so hot. Dance Gavin Dance just can't miss. I love every album and I'm never let down. Don't stop being you boys!

[@matheusemmanuel5815]

dgd songs take a few days to hit me, this one got me today. Tim did a great job, the bassline is simply perfect 🖤🖤🖤 amazing how danceable this song is as the same time is a banger

[@TenaciousJoe24]

0:18 love that riff and Tillian’s vocals come in

[@paulandrews8436]

It’s rare this far into a band’s career to release, what I believe to be, their magnum opus. This album is huge, but never overstays it’s welcome.

[@andywiddowson4122]

I can think of very few bands where I enjoy their later work over their early work and DGD is top of the list

[@theoneguy420]

This has been Jon Mess' album. That done is a work of art 🔥🔥🔥

[@ryanglacier30]

A lot of Secret Band screaming In this album. Swallowed By Eternity is fuckin heavy

[@inyrui]

@@ryanglacier30 that "you'll regret it, the ones that you let in..." part is insane

[@mattwolfen]

I KNOW this song is about to be slept on so hard but it's easily the best on the whole album.

[@C.M.M.23]

It is instant release. But Polka Dot Dobbins makes a strong contention. Edit: to be fair- "Talkin' heads... Fuck the feds..." and "DATDATDATDATDAT DAT DONE." are some of the most fire DGD lines in a long time.

[@ForYourHealth744]

100% agreed

[@Chronoroth]

100% agree.

[@inyrui]

The most slept on song is Polka Dot Dobbins imo

[@dylanblack6993]

easily the song i've repeated the most on the album. this one's a certified banger.

[@andrewbenedict6496]

Musical genius omg there is not one bad song on this whole album! This song and die another day are my two favs but they all ROCK

[@Jonqen]

THIS IS THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR! This song is my favourite from it

[@VicodinElmo]

1:06 - 1:40 Can we just appreciate this entire bit

[@DatKellyBean]

this album honestly I didn't think was going to be this freaking incredible. I should have never second guessed DGD because honestly this is I think their best album and truly their magnum opus. Every song is a banger!!! thank you dance gavin dance

[@cheese013]

Best album by far! The band has elevated to another level that I didn’t know was possible

[@mediumChungus69]

People love to use the term "elevated" everytime a new member is added or a new album drops, but it just makes me think people forgot what they used to sound like lol all the best songs on thos album, including this one, sound like Acceptance Speech and Instant Gratification, coincidentally their two most slept on Tillian albums

[@lucasstruna3962]

@@mediumChungus69 not the biggest fan of acceptance speech but instant is pretty good

[@stephencole5780]

This and Synergy are the top shelf picks off this album.

[@softnimbus]

When Jon said "Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done, Done" I felt that

[@kateymardis968]

I just cant with this band my ears are in heaven

[@inyrui]

That opener is up there with Bloodsucker and Philosopher King

[@barscan8744]

i do agree, it also reminded me Say Hi tho.

[@flexjc]

Andrew’s part on this I think is my favorite on the album!

[@matthewviarrial6360]

DGD with breakdowns is always amazing

[@zorghungry]

Another one that'll be burned into my brain within the week, solid work

[@hanksproject1456]

0.22 its so very high voices of tillian for me. I love it.

[@thekingofhell2348]

God 😮 this song is so fucking fantastic much like the entirety of the album.

[@xtoxinator8988]

Such a hardcore and meaningful song from DGD again! R.I.P Tim Feerick

[@piggybank16]

What in the hell did we do to deserve this... DGDs music is too good to be true sometimes!!

[@wydidyadoit]

They've spoilt my taste for other music because they're just too good and unique

[@Zexion0]

This song, holy shit dude! What energy! Quickly becoming my fav of the album but honestly there's too much quality on Jackpot Juicer to just have 1 fav

[@erthquake9038]

Man, Jon ad-libbing at 2:11 really reminded me of Bloodmeat by Protest the Hero.

[@lankeysob]

Thats exactly what it reminded me of too lol

[@carolinegallager97]

Same, I wondered when I heard that part 🤟🏼

[@KingVibe]

Best song on the album

[@jackhoff7880]

Easily the best album artwork of all time

[@robertgratson7913]

Those guitars!!!!! WOW

[@C.M.M.23]

3:38 LMAO I've had this song stuck in my head all day and at this part where it shifts, I keep envisioning Tilian singing "You offer nothing but you want it all" while doing ballet twirls with background dancers doing synched choreography. And then it gets to 3:57 and it's just Jon Mess dropping a growler in a bathroom stall. I should be writing DGD music videos...

These lyrics are spot on. Good tune with good lyrics. These dudes actually think before they spew garbage into the media. The lead singer needs to be the focal. None the less a good tune and a great change from the norm.

definitely smashing that like ❤

Really really wish they kept that ending going longer...this is one of 3(i think) songs that have "harder" endings that are so good and just too damn short :(

Yeah my only critique is I wish we got some more "hard-core" songs. Like Bloodsucker, Say Hi, or Philosopher King

I think the girl is exaggerating things. She said he slapped her during sex, but then she went back a second night to hang out with him AGAIN, and then she said he 'cuddled her too hard'. The band said he isn't kicked out. Just going to therapy.

@@usgovernment182 that's the first girl. There were two.

[@nanasenoah8139]

The first woman got a reputation in the scene for making false allegations, the second one came to back her up. No means no so don't say yes also don't go to a man house to drink alcohol and blow him. Pretty self explanatory stuff but these grown woman don't seem to be able to take responsibility for their own stupid actions 😴 calling what happened r*ape is ridiculous next time record them while they sign a consent form lmao
