The ninth track off of Deja Entendu is also the album’s rawest, pairing a blistering guitar riff with throat-searing lyrics about the death of Jesse Lacey’s grandfather and the pain of being on tour during that event.
“Guernica” was a major thematic leap forward for pop-punk and also for the band;...
[Verse 1]
Ever since I was young
Your word is the word that always won
Worry and wake the ones you love
A phone call I'd rather not receive
Please use my body while I sleep
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep
Kept clean and they will let you breathe
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind
[Chorus]
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
So I sat alone and waited out the night
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
I'm not writing my goodbyes
[Verse 2]
I submit no excuse
If this is what I have to do
I owe you every day I wake
If I could I would shrink myself
And sink through your skin to your blood cells
And remove whatever makes you hurt
But I am too weak to be your cure
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind
[Chorus]
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
So I sat alone and waited out the night
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
I'm not writing my goodbyes
[Bridge]
I'm not letting you check out
You will beat this, starting now
And you will always be around
I'm there to monitor your breathing
I will watch you while you're sleeping
I will keep you safe and sound
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Does anybody remember back when you were very young?
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?
[Chorus]
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
So I sat alone and waited out the night
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
I'm not writing my goodbyes
