“Attack of the Dashing Young and Bold” is the first track off Dance Gavin Dance’s self released demo. It was released on January 1st, 2006.
The song set in stone for what the band would be known for: smooth clean vocals mixed with harsh screams mixed with complex guitar riffs. Parts of this song in...
[Intro: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
(Wide silent cars)
(Antiques that aren't too old collard greens)
You said you know what's right for them
(Dashing, dashing young and bold)
[Verse 1: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
And when you lie you fail to know this line
(Not too nostalgic)
And then you let them get away
(Trash them, lie down)
When will you let me fall
(Watch out, they're right)
So much more pain
(Save me tonight)
[Pre-Chorus: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
(You're right, I've been lying)
Tonight get me through this line
(About my underground lair)
No will make you mine
[Chorus: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
(Form a line straight into the pavement)
(As you were, as you were)
(Form a line straight into the pavement)
(As you were, as you were)
As you're withering
(You won't testify)
(You, you won't testify)
Now who will show you this with love
(You can't by yourself, maybe)
Just like you told me
(You can't without your trust)
Just like you told me
(Without your trust, without your trust)
[Verse 2: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
It's time to think of my different plan
(Report to the bridge)
The lights, they're going out
(The captain is sick with the)
Get away with you
(Flu and needs medicine)
[Pre-Chorus: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
(You, you, you can't be saved, trust me)
When this goes to fall
(Trust me, I trust you)
Don't go, just fight it
(You've made mistakes)
Lights
[Chorus: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
(Form a line straight into the pavement)
Let go now
(As you were, as you were)
Of this life
(Form a line straight into the pavement)
Such snow these weeks when you went away
(As you were, as you were)
(You won't testify)
(You, you won't testify)
Now who will show you this with love
(You can't by yourself, maybe)
Just like you told me
Just like you told me
(You can't without your trust)
[Bridge: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
I'm letting you take this from the start
There is just one condition in which you can't decide
(I'm going to my secret lair underground)
(Drop, drop down, drop it down)
(Drop, drop down, drop it)
One more of that screaming lie
(I'm going to my secret lair underground)
Who will give you hope
(Drop, drop down, drop it down)
(Drop, drop down, drop it)
Don't open your eyes
No, you're nothing special
[Outro: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
(Wide silent cars)
And you said I was crossing lines
(Antiques that aren't too old collard greens)
You said I was coming, right?
(Dashing, dashing young and bold)
And I won't let you fall
(Dashing, dashing young and bold)
You deny this with this love
(Dashing, dashing young and bold)
