LYRICS
Get caught
Go rot
I think you been given a headshot
Red dot
No knock
So, hop in the coffin and give up
I’m feeling they fell on a feast
Took a chunk, and a bite and piece
Dull knife
No slice
You're nearing the end of your life bye-bye
Don’t expect to write
Anything in spite
Colorful insinuations tend to be inflammatory
Don’t expect to mind
Where you go tonight
Don the mask and hide the past away
Off the attack give a little slack
Breathe a little deeper watch my tone
Off the attack I don’t want it back
Fatal flaws are better left alone
Oh
Does everybody need to pay for their lowest choke?
Want to be a bigger man and indulge some hope
Zooming through the haze
I’ll sleep when I’m awake
Ethylene invasions
Gone away for days
Basking in the shade
Waiting for my golden shoes
I'm equipping crops
In it ‘til it stops
Innocent insipid idol
Goes
Carrot on my smock
Veggies in my socks
Wearing every kind of farm type clothes
Mining and mulling and pining and pulling
I think that I’m a little kid though no
Smiling and smoking the eyelids is lowering
The image of another misplaced cope
I just really wanna be with you and take the time to see this through
I know the things that you can do I’m following your plan
Getting dizzy cuz we finally did it
Dried ink on the page now we’re committed
Gotta be the one I feel prophetic
Gave all my gimmicks away
Oh shit yeah
Move it up there
Get it like that
Put it right there
Eyes locked
Yeah
Sweat dripping hair
Best I ever had
Turning me round
Pick me back up
Wondering how
You doing that stuff
Feelings get weird
Holy ghost spirit
Best I ever had
Holy Ghost, best that I’ve had
Holy Ghost, best that I’ve had

[@crazylayzy23]

Each Tilian Dance Gavin Dance album has that one song, that one song... Jesus H. Macy, Awkward, Chocolate Jackalope, Hair Song, Parody Catharsis... Jon and Tilian come together with the crew's instruments to make something so depressively melancholic yet energetic and beautiful. I'm happy to know this band. I always will be.

[@dereklira1249]

Well said it is a rollercoaster of emotion on the best of ways

[@randos5629]

Q

[@suptee1]

I have no idea how it isn't more popular. It's literally the best song on the album and may be better than a lot of songs you mentioned.

[@raviolimaster]

@@suptee1 its because people literally don't actually listen to music no more. you gotta really vest part of your time into their work which is something i love doing but most people are just used to the sound of the mind numbing beats and chords that play on the radio and that's if. Its like seeing an image on a billboard, the artist that created it might have poured their heart and soul into the image, but its still only designed to be viewed at a glance.

[@dodsdans9581]

Yes HAIR SONG such an underrated song off that album!

[@aniruddhmaitra1728]

The harmony "Best I ever had" in the ending, shakes me to my core.

[@Pulpxx]

Jon's run at the end was amazing. I've seen other's say this is definitely Jon's album and I couldn't agree more.

[@ryanglacier30]

He's definitely very prominent in this album. Kinda surprised because they've been consistently keeping it mostly singing. Hopefully he's gearing up for secret band 3.0

[@ahfkajhfk]

I wish it was 80% jon and 20% another singer other than tillian or andrew

[@ryanglacier30]

@@ahfkajhfk mainly why I really want another Secret Band album haha. This is a very good album though. Probably top 3 IMO

[@_tokii__]

@@ryanglacier30 I'm glad he has a lot more parts. Afterburner was too Tilian heavy imo, still a great album though.

[@ryanglacier30]

@@_tokii__ I've never been much of a fan of Tillians since he joined. I liked Acceptance Speech and loved Mothership but the rest of the albums I only gave a few listens. And this is coming from someone whose been listening to them since 2005. When he joined I still mostly listened to whatever I say is royal ocean and the self titled more. This album is up there IMO absolutely zero filler

[@JohnSmith-th7lx]

Tilian is on a different level on this album. His creativity with the melodies is something else...

[@sirspanks4563]

Hopefully he'll eventually join the band again when he gets everything straightened out and the help he needs.

[@savagewraith]

@@sirspanks4563 I agree. I remember how happy I was he joined DGD years ago when he left Tides of Man. I hope he gets things sorted. He and Jon's voices just meld really well. I know it's known, but Mothership was one of those "This is it. This is their true form" moments.

[@miredmind]

I agree. Although JC and Kurt were really good DGD vocalists, too, I think they've owned this sound of theirs with Til

[@adrianmoreno2354]

@@sirspanks4563 You can say that inifnite times again, DGD reached its ultimate form with Tilian, it was the synergy it needed for DGD to reach the peak of its sound.

[@zachrizzo6525]

It seems like he needs sobriety

[@SmoQueeD]

Been stuck on this!! “Gave all my gimmicks awaAaAay” Tillian holding that out and Jon enters “Oh shit yeah”.. the rhythm between Jon and intstr. Plus the held vocals is honestly a Master Class! Like 🤯 ❤ love these dudes!

[@zachbeckwith459]

Best song on the album, which is saying something because overall the album is perfect. Such an incredible last work of art for Tim, may he rest in peace.

[@willfrei8592]

So this is hands down my favorite DGD song now. The guitar riff in the beginning right after the bit where jons screaming starts was indescribable (its melodic and seemingly reverberates up somehow) I didn't catch it at first, Tim went above and beyond for alot of the tracks on this album and Its bittersweet hearing the full album knowing it'll be his last. It seems fitting he left behind one final masterpiece/album for us to enjoy. RIP Tim

[@ACGaming07]

That ending is so nice, the, "best I've ever had," is just so good.

[@Zyurg]

that "holy ghost, best that Ive had" at the nd hits different

[@monkeyrilla]

Damn right though...

[@fakez90]

When you first hear a band, you’ve heard of the band but you’ve slept on their music. Not quite sure why you just never took the time to listen. One day you’re digging for new music on KZbin and randomly come across a song by that band, the moment you hear it, it slaps, it hits, like a drug! Like a drug you quickly become addicted. Thanks for this fresh hit of sound!

[@GymLeaderOrion]

This album S L A P S. Love the call backs hidden through the album from their older albums. Tilian and Jon killing these vocals!

[@taylorstrickland8359]

I love the callbacks too! they give a little slice of nostalgia each time which is always a welcome feeling :)

[@GymLeaderOrion]

@@taylorstrickland8359 only facts here! This song has actually become my favorite. Sounds just like OG Dance.

[@taylorstrickland8359]

Same here and I totally agree

[@w0ngky]

I dont know why but I just love the way Jon screams 'Im following your plan!' like he is crying out in anguish or something lol 3:02

[@w0ngky]

Its so fucking catchy especially after the clean melody after 'Getting dizzy cuz we finally did it....' Jon pops off with the 'Oh shit yeah, Move it up there...' - 3:16

[@savagewraith]

As a Gavin myself, I can confirm did dance.

[@gavinlutz4562]

As a member of the Gavin council, I second this

[@GavTheAv]

Amen

[@hannahrowe3902]

[@berz9655]

Another gavin here, dancing is really fun!

[@moth_milk]

I’m not a Gavin, but I third this

[@thommyboy2742]

You cannot stand there, owning a firework stand and tell me Jon didnt shine the brightest here, one of the sickest cadences I’ve ever heard

[@Figure9Gaming]

I appreciate the Joe Dirt reference.

[@jamesredline1352]

I know I’m a year late but dear God. Jon was like “hey guys how about I do an incomprehensibly good job on this one?”

[@GamerChex]

This is the best song on the album!

[@dancegregorydance6933]

It’s really hard for me to choose between this and One Man’s Cringe.

[@ryken_]

@@dancegregorydance6933 correct

[@applesdie0]

Swallowed by Eternity is second for me.

[@staticbuzter452]

@@dancegregorydance6933 I keep doing Ember, One Man's Cringe, Feels Bad Man, Back on Deck, then Pray for your Mother. Now this one is growing on me especially the second half. But in reality, this is a GREAT album so they're all best

[@truly_I_say]

Its when 3:17 hits why this song is the best. Its like the end of county bassy. Such a solid run it's awesome

[@AswangRealStories]

One of the top dgd songs ❤

[@johnny9655]

One of the best songs on the album

[@dancegregorydance6933]

Holy shit the last minute of this song is *chef kiss* BEST I EVER HAD

That opening riff goes so hard

[@dannydorito7998]

I love the breakdown while jon basically sings. Heavy IG vibes here

[@kylesmith7113]

So much Acceptance Speech/Instant Grat vibes from this one 😍😍

[@DB-ob3gb]

The final part of the song will always give me goosebumps. How every sound and piece just goes in with both vocals on top, a melodic fever dream!

[@TheNightdiver]

The tropical vibes on this tune is unreal

[@charlesboor7705]

I feel like this albums tells the past present and future. Old friends and dreams that you can't stand to think of anymore, Parts of your life that simply dont exist any longer. Places you've gone, things you've done, it all correlates to the person you are today. Me and my boyfriend have decided after living north for 20 years, we're deciding to move down south. All new people, places, things, a new life/ Leaving behind everything that comforts us in hopes to look at life from a different angle. Wishing everyone luck with whatever's going on on your plate ATM. Thanks for reading

[@warloro]

Good luck

[@ricosuave7053]

I feel the exact same way. Each album represents a different chapter in my life that correlates with the album's themes at the time. The callbacks feel like thinking of those earlier times in my life and the way I felt at the time. I relate with the music so much that DGD somehow tells my personal story of the past, present, and future in each of their albums with their own spin on it of course.

[@kasper3876]

This band from the beginning and throughout my life has been a true pillar of light, love and hope for me. I guess I just want to say thank you to all the band members to ever be a part of dance Gavin dance you have no idea how much your music means to me.

[@LORDOFCINDER97]

Everyone is saying its john or tilian album. But honestly how their voices go together is so damn beautiful

[@goldenox2424]

This is peak tilian + Jon. The singles were very Jon, but tilian made the rest of the album his bitch.

I swear DGD is the only band i dig literally every song they ever drop

[@virgilgilbert797]

Agreed

[@pandadproductions8890]

Bad Omens. Their latest was all bangers as well. Lol. Never a bad omens song

[@joshuathomas043]

Exactly. Every single album, but especially with Tillian. My girl is a HUGE fan and she actually got me really into them. I remember when she was hesitant about Tillian and now she's struggling about him leaving. But DGD at its core is Will, Jon and Matt so as long as they have them I think they'll always be good

[@XRROW_]

Afterburner was a flop though

[@cruzfeltner1109]

This album is full great and amazing songs. Dgd never fails to deliver. They are soo unique just in the fact that they never skipped a beat regardless of who was lead vocals. This song is personally my favorite off Juicer. Hits my heart strings.

Jon is absolutely killing it in this new album.
