Dax Riggs - Evil Friend

Deadboy and the Elephantmen track

[@philv1991]

This was the favorite Dax Riggs song of the love of my life, who died far too young 4 months ago. We went to one of his dive bar shows, where she fell in love with his music and asked him to sign her breast. He gave me a knowing look and politely declined. I was so happy that she also liked my favorite musician. She particularly liked the end. We are night sky We are god's eye At the end of a lullaby On the shore of tears yet to be cried Thank you for giving her, and the rest of the world, your music.

Check out "scream of the butterfly", "gravedirt on my blue suede shoes," or "let me be your cigarette." MUSICAL, LYRICAL, GENIUS.

[@soleclaw6521]

Check out the bones of baby dolls! As well as everything else this person said

[@danielvalles9554]

"we are dark skies we are god's eye at the end of a lullaby on the shore of tears yet to be cried.." that whole part just speaks volumes.

[@Wargasm817]

Daniel Valles that is one of his best songs ever ..night skies

[@draperbourgeois702]

So what exactly is he illuminatii-I ng?

[@amorasmithsonwest3290]

Nothing. AB fans always tout Dax is this supreme artistic (autistic?) Lyricist whose singing always must have some profound meaning. TBH the dude probably just takes acid and just thinks of vague stuff that sounds cool. "ELECTRIC MOON DEATH, I CAN TASTE THE SEMEN OF THE DEMON, DIRTY NEEDLES REFLECTING SUNLIGHT, WE EAT THE BRAINS OF THE UNIFORMED SLUTS!" Acid Bath lyrics in a nutshell. I love the band though, even own a shirt. I just don't like the meth-mouthed felons who talk about how the listened to acid bath a lot in high school. lol

[@amorasmithsonwest3290]

lol

[@SamSquanch66]

Amora Smithson West -Godsmack thinks of vague stuff that sounds cool. A real artist, whether music, poetry or painting conjure emotion in there work, sometimes something a little different for each of us. It doesn't have to be literal as it is the word play, syntax and cadence that let Dax's fans connect to his music. Plus a velvet voice. Not so much profound meaning, but profound sentiment.

[@thatchickwithtats9384]

Daxx was super nice to me and my friends. He's way humble and real.

[@derekbarton9627]

ThatChickWithTats where did you see Dax at?

[@jrob4627]

Dax isn't hard to meet if you go to his shows. It's not like he's Michael Jackson. I've met him 3 times.

[@derekbarton9627]

jarred robins well if I could find out when and where he was playing no doubt I’d do everything in my power to meet him.

[@jrob4627]

@@derekbarton9627 yeah I guess it has been awhile since I seen him play. It was when "say goodnight to the world" first came out. Haven't had the money to travel lately so haven't bothered checking dates.

[@derekbarton9627]

jarred robins well to my knowledge he hasn’t played in a while. But I know he lives in Louisiana and I live a few hours away from him

[@Banana_b0nk3rs]

This is my all time favorite Dax song. He is such an amazing talent. I wish people would stop saying what a shame that he wasnt recognized 10-12 years ago, if he had been we may not have his current music..... Fame changes people and i for one am glad he is right where he is.

[@jrob4627]

Seen dax down in gulf port MS shortly after this album dropped and shortly before Katrina. I had been such a huge fan of his and figured he had a huge following. Kinda blew me away when half the bar was just local regulars just there like they were any other day. They still got to hear a legend sing but I had to pay more because I said I was there for the show.

[@hippiescummmmm]

This song makes me cry.

[@crazyirishdan]

I've met Dax briefly, and he struck me as the type of guy who is REALLY cool with being able to roll down to the corner store like a normal human being, if you catch my drift.

[@MadDogReed97]

Crazy Irish Dan I'm a dense mofo explain plz lol

[@Niamhdm7871]

Hahahaa right.

[@nancyperkins8310]

Dax Riggs just love all he does for years now. Saw him with agents of oblivion in the club where I worked and the house was more packed than for any other act we ever had. I don't have words to describe so just listen to his.

[@chrisseeley898]

Just when you think you'll never find an artist as dark or deep as your heart. Amazing.

[@shane727]

Lucky!

[@rhiannonclaspill6020]

Sing me a lullaby much love dax🕉️

[@JFACEBADLY]

YOU'RE MISSING OUT IF YOU DON'T KNOW DAX RIGGS !!!!

[@Huelogy]

First heard this song in 2014 8-9 years ago. It's absolutely amazing the memories music can bring back. As if being in those exact moments. I would say before everything was messed up. But things were always messed up.

[@jakeluvsmel]

I'm an acidbath fan and have seen deadboy and the elephantmen 3 times.... im a dax fiend

[@riseup5467]

This song speak about the fake friends who just want to take the light you have :)

[@spiraltradition3739]

This song is for my friend Lucas Lane who died on may 29, 2020. Love you Luke

[@LzN16]

this one reminds me of mark lanegan, mostly how he says "evil friend"

[@deafomega]

@PATEv4 This entire album is a must own. listen to Demon Tied to a Chair in My Brain, or No Rainbow (This guy has some serious depth in his lyrics)

[@kingkubus5771]

We are, we are..knight Sky knight sky. We are we are, God's eye gods eye

[@Litlyrical]

Evil friend, Evil friend It never ends at the death of things Love will swing, burn everything and sing Evil friend Evil friend, Evil friend There is starlight in your blood It seems there are shadows that are wearing us Evil friend Evil friend, Evil friend You knew rebirth but died again Evil friend Black-toothed that speaks no truth Burn everything and sing along Evil friend Evil friend Evil friend We are night sky, we are god's eye, At the end of a lullaby On the shore of tears yet to be cried We are, we are, night sky, night sky We are, we are, God's eye, God's eye At the end of a lullaby On the shore of tears yet to be cried We are, we are, night sky, night sky We are, we are, God's eye, God's eye At the end of a lullaby On the shore of tears yet to be cried

[@popperpoppler4569]

Lol I knew this was him! There’s an omelette short video about drug addiction that opens with this song. I knew I recognized his voice even though I had never heard this song, since I was a huge acid bath fan back on the day I figured I’d try to find it. So glad I did this is awesome!

[@riseup5467]

This song speak about the fake friends only want take what you got.Thats my opinion :)

[@alexarmistead2302]

This song would be perfect for Rachel Shoaf and Sheila Eddy because that's what they are evil friends! They killed Skyler Neese and they didn't even care so this should be there song!

[@venefica1510]

I really don't know why... But I feel Kurt Cobain.
