Maybe in All I Ever Wanted… when they said “I’ve done some terrible things” it was foreshadowing the release of Someday
Is it a weird time to ask this: we're the Dangerous Summer at one point considered a Christian Band? Lol .. I swore I read that somewhere
It's not THAT terrible, it's just a childish lyric that's very out of character for this band. Very curious how the song itself sounds. Hilarious that everyone who got an advance copy of the album pointed to this song as being the worst one, and they went ahead and made it a single.
I mean of course they are millions of songs that talk about sex and stuff but this stands out for the genre. Usually it's more subtle if mentioned at all. It's only weird because it's in a TDS song.
Song is boring, and that lyric just makes it worse. Seems pretty lazy. glad the song means something to him, but I can’t help but think his partner isn’t like “so she got “Siren” and I got this.” Hahah!
Yeah the line in question is def off-putting but my bigger problem with this song is that it is boring as hell. Just nothing interesting going on here musically at all.
I just think this entire album is pretty lazy/bad lyrically, with this song being the worst offender. I don’t think the past few records have been as strong in that department as the first two, which have some of my favorite writing ever, but this whole album just feels pretty thinly written to me. Also, the “go in her mouth” line is bad, but I hate the “girls out on the road” line just as much. And then wrapping this all up in the lyrical refrain of “Someday, I’ll learn to treat her right” makes both of those lines worse.
It’s more due to it being completely out of nowhere for AJ and this band that makes it worse and dumb. Not like the lyrics are mortifying or extremely offensive … just super dumb lol
Yeah no two ways around it, that song sucks. The entire song should've been cut and should've been built around the line "Love getting high with you and then Talking 'bout the patterns on the floor And dreaming of a life outside the city" and get rid of literally everything else.
Yeah, but no one ever struck the balance between crass, creepy, and profound that Stephan Jenkins did on those earlier Third Eye Blind records. "Blinded" is premised entirely on a guy letting himself into his ex-girlfriend's place and watching her in the shower, which is so sketchy on paper, but it's also an incredibly nuanced song about regret and about coming to terms with the fact that there's sometimes nothing you can do or say to turn back time or unbreak a broken relationship. There are no layers to this new TDS song. It's just "Maybe I won't always be such a shitty partner."
His whole twitter reminded me why I wiped my socials of all their stuff. He's also talking about how good Moose Blood were, which was somehow one of the less cringey things on his page.
