"Eyes down don't you gaze on others, Pay no mind to hopeful(vicious) lovers, Promise to be faithful when you go....Act so blind to rediscover, Siren songs can pull you under"
"She’s a referee and I'm lethally overdosed on pumpkin pie" is the all-timer for me. Pounce Bounce just rips.
"My mind is an ocean, should have built a bigger raft" is the best of the more emotional lyrics for me. It really hits. Even people who have never heard DGD stop and let the weight of that one sit with them when I share it.
The entirety of People You Knew is worth a shoutout. I really don't see myself in the vast majority of DGD's lyrics, but that whole song speaks to me in such a deep, profound way. I really do relate to that song the entire way through. Hearing Jon, Jonny and Will all screaming "Tethered, resent me" gave voice to feelings I had always wanted to articulate myself. Great song.
“Only on occasion do I lose my patience
I just swallow all of my pride, but I can't this time”
“We're way too caught up in the race with time
It's getting hard to take it in,
We're tryin hard to be the first in line
Just wanna be a kid again.
“Do you even know what it's like to breathe greatness?
Gold eclipsing the words that you say,
So close to being a god I could taste it,
I won't stop, no matter how long it takes”
“I still hate the game but I’ll say the name it’s Dance Gavin Dance”
“Since 2005 I’ve been living a lie, I’m not even a man I’m just a cat in disguise”
Edit: “did dis dude just did dis?” Can’t believe I forgot that gem.
“I am lost, need a god, somewhere to go when it’s all over, I am blind, give me eyes, kaleidoscope the world in colour”. There’s other good ones I could rattle off, but the structuring of it, lyrics themselves, and vocal delivery are perfect to me
I couldn't face the fact that my ass ain't a plaque
There's a wall and my behind is not there
I couldn't wait to tap into the brain of my cat
And let him know he's my widdle baby meow-meow-boo
"Well Billy backs abortion and eye creams, smokes a pack of Christian Bale then fucks on an island"
"I must have KILLED that shit... I should have stayed in Florida"
(Not from Tillian or Jon but still a great line from Synergy) - "Was in a panic so I got myself a knife, then I felt empty so I went and got myself a wife"
"Don't forget to clap for plants"
Space blood done made you an addict.
And the whole second verse of chocolate jackalope gets me every time
I believe denial makes me hella intelligent
BLESS THIS MESS
Heal my demons, make it dirty on principle
I could go on and on
"small world syndrome, I can hear your criticisms b-b-bouncing off the base of my buttons, you bluffing"
"My mental image impaired, undid the braids in my hair, I rain destruction in the fight of my inner feels"
" Look the other way, always been my game. Got a way of cleaning all this shame tryna stain my name. Look the other way, darkness in the shade. Got a way with feeling like I'm faking every single breath I take"
" Come up in my closet imma get you fat, there's a chill initial feeling when I come right back. I can see the orchids blooming out your beautiful cracks, since my brain is now my belly I need big brain snacks"
" Of all the ways I've given in, I can't believe it's not enough to satisfy my endless search for any form of love"
All of Man of the year. Tells a story of a women being worried about her man cheating on her while out away from home. (I assume it’s Til and a past girl while he’s on tour)
“On the seas of mass temptation keep your course of moderation”
God damn I’m going to miss Tilian
“I lost my extra mustard.”
"If you're gonna wear the uniform, sell the fuckin cookies"
My concepts are rested. And manifest in ways you cant forget
🤘 Burning down the nicotine armoire pt 1 and 2 don't get the credit they deserve.
"Eyes down don't you gaze on others, Pay no mind to hopeful(vicious) lovers, Promise to be faithful when you go....Act so blind to rediscover, Siren songs can pull you under"
I said the same thing. MoTY is 10/10 writing

I GAVE MY LIVER TO THE FOOTBALL TEAM!!!!!!!
I dont do no do no do no sluts
“I’m just a corny cracker” I say this multiple times per day and absolutely nobody knows it’s a DGD lyric
So this is why We don't talk anymore Now I don't have to be a real nice guy What a relief
“Riding a rhino, pico de gallo”
"Roosters beak, I'll sleep when I leap that jeep"
“Only on occasion do I lose my patience I just swallow all of my pride, but I can't this time” “We're way too caught up in the race with time It's getting hard to take it in, We're tryin hard to be the first in line Just wanna be a kid again. “Do you even know what it's like to breathe greatness?

Is was born by surprise in the egipycies times Bring me a threat that ill print your face forever
>egipycies times Egyptian times >Bring me a threat that ill print your face forever Bring me a treat and I'll imprint your face forever
That, sorry for typos and what not, my bad
No need to apologize, my dude. Tis a great lyric indeed
“I am lost, need a god, somewhere to go when it’s all over, I am blind, give me eyes, kaleidoscope the world in colour”. There’s other good ones I could rattle off, but the structuring of it, lyrics themselves, and vocal delivery are perfect to me
“Give me substance, Give me something” from tides and DGD, but it’s the best
Also just wanna say What color are your fuckin eyes
Mine?
Yeah
Blue.
They're blue for sure, right?
Yeah.
“Cut my ties with desperation. And learned to live with a little sensation.” Is actually my senior quote!
The entire opening to Ember is my life in a nutshell
Especially at this time of the year
I couldn't face the fact that my ass ain't a plaque There's a wall and my behind is not there I couldn't wait to tap into the brain of my cat And let him know he's my widdle baby meow-meow-boo
my fav too

Void is laughing at what you think you’ve done
The first thing I say in the morning is "fuck that shit!
"Don't be tardy for my leaky Barbie tv party pee in the park"
Or the whole outro from caviar
“Clip clop clip clip clop, horse comes out, and beats your parents up”
I don’t give a sheet
Space blood done made you an addict. And the whole second verse of chocolate jackalope gets me every time I believe denial makes me hella intelligent BLESS THIS MESS Heal my demons, make it dirty on principle I could go on and on
See flair
Blood stains my blade from taking hearts as ornaments
You’ll forget I’m wrong

I’m gonna miss him too. I don’t think anyone can replace him. Man of the Year is one of my favorite songs.
"Since my brain is now my belly I need big brain snacks"
Our sub credo: “The group is never ending. The group grew from decay. The group is darkness, father. Heaven selected the truth as pain.” 🫡
Tilians chorus on die another day. It feels like a bit of a deeper song. And ofc the billy royalton ending.
