“Parody Catharsis” is the sixth song on Dance Gavin Dance’s ninth studio album Afterburner. Former guitarist Zachary Garren revealed on Instagram that he helped write the guitars on this song. This is the first song since “Chocolate Jackalope” off of 2016’s Mothership to feature vocals from guitaris...
[Intro: Tilian]
We feel this way
Hiding from our pain and our mistakes
Vibrate the shame
Let these dirty veins go all the way
[Verse 1: Jon Mess]
I must be the worst and the best
'Cause the hole in my chest
Yeah, they think it’s impressive
If art has to feel like this, do I parody catharsis?
Average things don't have a place
You starve, you stay in budget
Once I got what they want
They act like they don't want it
[Pre-Chorus: Will Swan]
Uh, got a leg up
Know when to sit down, when to get up
Uh, got a leg up
I killed the whole game, now I’m fed up
[Chorus: Tilian]
Don't wanna be a shoulder to cry on
Don't turn the light on, don't tell me your name
I know you're hurting, but at the same time
I need to numb my blood 'til I'm okay
As the world is crumbling down, I'm falling in love
Don’t need your politics, I’m focused
As the world is turning 'round, I’m cutting a rug
Don't need your common sense, I'm focused
[Refrain: Tilian]
We feel this way
Hiding from our pain and our mistakes
Vibrate the shame
Let these dirty veins go all the way
[Verse 2: Jon Mess]
I must be the worst and the best
'Cause the hole in my chest
Yeah, they think it’s impressive
If art has to feel like this, do I parody catharsis?
Average things don't have a place
You starve, you stay in budget
Once I got what they want
They act like they don't want it
[Pre-Chorus: Will Swan]
Uh, got a leg up
Know when to sit down, when to get up
Uh, got a leg up
I killed the whole game, now I'm fed up
[Chorus: Tilian]
Don't wanna be a shoulder to cry on
Don't turn the light on, don't tell me your name
I know you're hurting, but at the same time
I need to numb my blood 'til I'm okay
As the world is crumbling down, I'm falling in love
Don't need your politics, I'm focused
As the world is turning 'round, I'm cutting a rug
Don't need your common sense, I'm focused
[Bridge: Tilian]
This is where you blame it on the weather
Or blame it on the devil
Or blame it on whomever
You suck already
This is where you blame it on the weather
Or blame it on the devil
Or blame it on whomever
You suck either way
[Outro: Jon Mess]
I can't believe this, I'm a fetus, I'm a baby boy
My height decreases, I can't reach the counter, find my toys
Once gave speeches, now they're screeches, what can I destroy?
I'm not lazy, I'm just baby tiny baby boy
