The opening track to Dead to Fall’s final album, Are You Serious, “Stupid?” makes a mockery of everything going on in heavy music at the time they wrote the record. There are references to previous work where they even make fun of themselves.
Yo Logan, botgun that sheer!
Get the vibe goin' right in here
Gotta write a jam. The one everyone wants to hear
Crashing, flowing, swirling right from the start
Except not with those lyrics, we already have a song about a shark!!!
OH SHIT! It's the death metal riff! I better sing about some face ripping, cat-raping bullshit!
Sit in my room and write about some brutal shit I know I'm never gonna do!
We gotta make it thrash!
And make 'em bang their heads real fast
Make sure this song is really FUCKING STUPID!
I think my vocals are pretty good so far
And I'm kinda ripped, so for this next part
I'm gonna riff with the guitar
Two minutes long, and fast as fuck!
This song is sick, but missing one part
"Oh, yeah? What is that?"
We gotta get the kids, moving
Circle pitting, and singing along
I've got a really original idea
Of how I think we should end this song!
END
THIS
SONG
WITH A FUCKING BREAKDOWN!!!
