So this is odd.
The painful realization that all has gone wrong, And nobody cares at all. And nobody cares at all. So you buried all your lover's clothes, And burned the letters lover wrote, But it doesn't make it any better. Does it make it any better? And the plaster dented from your fist, In the hall where you had your first kiss, Reminds you that the memories will fade. So this is strange. Our sidestepping has come to be a brilliant dance, Where nobody leads at all. Where nobody leads at all. And the picture frames are facing down. And the ringing from this empty sound, Is deafening and keeping you from sleep. And breathing is a foreign task, And thinking's just to much to ask, And you're measuring your minutes by a clock that's blinking eights. This is incredible. Starving, insatiable. Yes, this is love for the first time. Well, you'd like to think that you were invincible. Yeah, well weren't we all once before we felt lost for the first time? Well, this is the last time. This is the last time. This is the last time. |

343 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this is a great song "And the picture frames are facing down. And the ringing from this empty sound, Is deafening and keeping you from sleep. And breathing is a foreign task, And thinking's just to much to ask, And you're measuring your minutes by a clock that's blinking eights." I love that part |

92 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I think this is the saddest of all DC songs. I always just get a very sad feeling and bad memories (but not in a bad way) when I hear this song...fromt he beginning "SO THIS IS ODD" and then the painful realizations that follow...This is great..but in no way can be seen in a positive light..this is pain at it's best! |

11 posts | rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal dashboard is such a kick ass band. My all time favorite, by far. All you idiots who only know the songs that are played on the radio need to shut up and buy the cd - hands down and vindicated are deffinalty not anywhere near the best. I wish chris would make his music like he use to though. He's the most honest artist ever... |
