Dance Gavin Dance - Nothing Shameful

"Nothing Shameful" comes from Dance Gavin Dance's new album 'Afterburner' - out now! Pre-order/stream here: riserecords.lnk.to/afterburner
LYRICS
Take
All you do is take
You can have it all
Caught
In your web, I’m caught
Catch me when I fall
Stare
Kill me with your stare
All I do is follow
Care
Do you even care
If I’ll be there tomorrow?
A medical dependency to you
There’s nothing shameful that I wouldn’t do
A medical dependency to you
There’s nothing shameful that I wouldn’t do
I must've killed that shit
I shoulda stayed in Florida
Too much I spent
My shape got bent
I'm just a corny cracker
I spilled my beans
Cause I'm a fiend
I lost my extra mustard
Undertow
All those thoughts you think don't even matter
Punch yourself, punch you in the face
All those thoughts you think don't even matter
If you don't care, you don't have to say
So take me for granted
I know I never really meant that much to you
All our memories will be erased
The only way, out is forward
As far away as I can get
Where to now?
What happened to my fucking purpose?
I am just a stone sinking
Broken and numb
Where to now?
The way you made me, made me worthless
Truth is in the end we all end up alone
Can you feel me?
Calling your name from the balcony seats
You left empty
Can you feel me?
Tearing apart everything we use to be
Don't forget to clap for plants
A napkin allergy
A skin graft treatment
Tried out comedy
Got ants in my pants

Still can't get over that Andrew Well's bridge, man. the melody, the lyrics, the tone of his voice. What a nice pace.

[@nickmerrone3431]

still cant

[@zi_hahn]

We never knew we need Andrew Wells in our lives till we heard his voice in Evaporate

[@kdastronaut171]

I mean he's been killing it since eidola

[@MyoticTesseract]

He's already amazing in Eidola, but in Dance Gavin Dance he's like a golden egg, so rare that it increases his value that much more

[@dadmonster1019]

SINCE THE PROTAGONIST SET OFF FOR HIS ADVENTURES but seriously Andrew is criminally underappreciated

[@BRNardy]

Since Eidola, I dreamed of a DGD song with his guest vocals. Used to send messages to his now extinct Instagram, and he'd always reply saying that chances of that happening were high. Thought Evaporate was the sole fullfillment of this dream of mine. Gladly, I was wrong.

[@dismantleminesyesss8529]

@Stephen j not even just that, he also plays guitar for dgd on tour

[@xanimegax]

Andrew comin in for the kill.

[@ACIDICcitric]

I know him personally and the dude deserves to be recognized by these guys so much. It warms my heart to see him get a feature on such a banger!

[@favoritebread]

@Brandon Mickley you think so? It think it's unique and stays in the DGD realm very well even though its taking on a more popular type vibe. Its also uniquely calming, even during Jon's part. This song feels like the band was like "what if we did chill lo-fi beats to study to" and this is what came out lmao It's no evaporate, but I think they're really nice songs for different reasons. : )

[@cygnise176]

Lauren James “Taking on a more popular vibe” is usually not the best thing to do. I’ve been kinda worried about DGD taking a move into that direction like a few of my other past favorite rock bands. I love this band for their uniqueness, it would be sad to see them transform into some “trendy” band ya know?

[@Ryan-yn3zk]

This song is helping me beat a 12 year long addiction.

Congrats, man! Seeing this comment made my night, props to you

[@rifalyudapratama23]

[@Jake.E75]

Damn, almost two years sober and I didn't think to read the lyrics until seeing your comment. This hits hard.

[@sinssideshow]

I never see anybody talk about Tim's performance, so I'll do it. This is one of my favorite bass lines of his. Not overly complicated, but catchy as hell. I find that my favorite DGD songs are in line with my favorite bass lines.

[@PrestonBaez]

The bass rips through the whole album, it's so good

[@ryanmischler5799]

Tim makes everything work imo. matt said several times hes the best bassist hes ever written with.

[@bradhuff5131]

Check out some dayshell and hands like Houses. They got pretty sick basslines too

[@davidfore5428]

Tim definitely killed it this album 100%

[@Mrblonde62495]

Ryan Mischler that’s saying something because Eric Lodge was a god too. Lemon Meringue has a fantastic bass line

[@rocknroller4186]

0:00 ok this one's my favorite. That intro slapped me in the face.

[@PrestonBaez]

Take, all you do is take, you can have it alllllll

[@VictorRodriguez-gs9mu]

I think the right way to listen to this song is by listening to Say Hi first and then this since the ending and beginning of each song seems to go together so well, probably even intentional by them

[@ZephyrusBlue]

Victor Rodriguez that is indeed how it’s structured within the album and that is ALWAYS on purpose.

[@riverboulay1488]

Agreed, cause hearing that "Mmm.", which sounds like a verbal shrug, nd then the straight kickass into Nothing Shameful is amazing. Can't hear it any other way now lol

[@freakvidsboy]

I thought the song was over when Andrew finished singing, but here comes tilian again 😂 Love the song, love the album

[@erickernestoserratosgalleg4692]

You got your wish bro, haha

[@xcBlackDiamond]

This is the one.

[@joeydal8070]

RIP Tim

[@Commandercolt44]

After hearing this, Andrew needs to become a full time member so there can be songs with him, Tillian, Jon, and Will all on vocals

[@austinbrandt7635]

He kind of is. Despite the lack of credit. Hes written multiple songs on the last few albums and he tours with them as a guitar player.

[@davidgreen2466]

And Kurt, I'd say Jonny too but poor boy burned that bridge long ago

[@Lightning-gg5iu]

terminallyCapricious Basic? Bro his vocals are amazing

[@MyoticTesseract]

terminallyCapricious Bro stop hating, generic emo vocals are never that smooth. You’re acting like he’s fucking Kellin Quinn lmao (no offense to him ofc).

[@JustineN]

terminallyCapricious bro you may not like him in the band but don’t call him basic. His voice is wonderful, and I don’t hear any sound of it being basic emo.

[@NonCanonGanon]

I love the synergy these guys have. A 4 minute song and no one in the band is left out. They even squeeze in another singer in without it sounding crammed. Talent in our generation.

Jon sounds quite emotional on this track. I know of course that this isn't the only time he has gotten emotional (Examples like: People You Know, People You Knew, Shark Dad, Care, ect.) but it just sounds like he's on the verge of tears durring this song especially during 0:54 and to be honest it actually kind of gets to me, though that could just be me. EDIT: This is a stupid comment but I'm keeping it up just for the replies.

He lost his food.

[@godofwar0678]

Probably because of everything with covid?

[@TRENTSINCLAIRE]

its so fuckin funny how deeply personal his first verse appears to be and then it just turns into "i spilled my beans cos im a fiend, i lost my extra mustard". wonder if he's from florida.
