"Panic Switch" - Silversun Pickups
I needed to switch it up. I started blogging 45-minutes ago and knew what I was writing wasn't going to make it on this site just yet. Plus, I couldn't even finish it. It was too deep even for me and it's not worth even the little attention I'm receiving. It took me to a dark place and I don't want to go back there. Not now. Not again.
So, let's change the subject and trip on this song together shall we? It reminds me of the band Garbage mixed in with a bit of Hole and that whole era of grunge rock and females taking the lead! Hmmm... wait a minute, this ain't no lady, folks! It's a guy! I mean, if he was sportin' the Marilyn Manson look or at least dabbled on some liquid eyeliner and mascara then I'd probably be more willing to accept it. He's just an average, ordinary Joe with a short beard and shaggy hair. I can't help, but think of the guy from the movie Hangover holding a satchel. Weird.
The odd thing is there's a girl in the band too who at first glance, most would assume is the singer. Nikki is her name (Funny how I hate that name now, almost as much as I hate the letter 'V'). I kept thinking maybe this is a set-up to fool the audience, ya know? Like get them to think that the guy was singing, but really the girl is hiding in the background singing for him? She plays the bass so that obviously wouldn't work. And her mouth ain't moving when he's singing so...yup, it's really him. Definitely a total trip. I have to say though, the acoustic version live is so much better.
Although I was caught off guard, I do like this song. I've always liked it, even before this movie hype for Sucker Punch. But I never thought to get it because they played it often enough and they will continue to do so now that it's attached to an action film. I know it's totally for the boys, but I might check it out since the trailer was done well. After all, I like it when girls can kick ass! Ya never know...it might give me some ideas.
Lyrics:
Time
It's never worth my time
Blue shine
Bleeds into my eyes
I still
Sleep on the right side
Of the white noise
Can't leave the scene behind
Could I be anything you want me to be
Its always meant to be seen
When you see yourself in a crowded room
Do your fingers itch, are you pistol-whipped?
And will you step in line or release the glitch?
And can you fall asleep with a panic switch?
And when you see yourself in a crowded room
Do your fingers itch, are you pistol-whipped?
Will you step in line or release the glitch?
Do you think she'll sleep with the panic...
Mm, I'll try
To hold on tight tonight
Pink slip
Inviting me inside
Wanna burn skin
And brand what once was mine
But the red views
Keep ripping the divide
If I go everywhere you want me to go
How will I know you'll still follow?
When you see yourself in a crowded room
Do your fingers itch, are you pistol-whipped?
And will you step in line or release the glitch?
And can you fall asleep with a panic switch?
And when you see yourself in a crowded room
Do your fingers itch, are you pistol-whipped?
Will you step in line or release the glitch?
Do you think she'll sleep with the panic...
I'm waiting and fading and floating away
I'm waiting and fading and floating away
I'm waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and floating
I'm waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading, waiting and fading
When you see yourself in a crowded room
Do your fingers itch, are you pistol-whipped?
And will you step in line or release the glitch?
And can you fall asleep with a panic switch?
And when you see yourself in a crowded room
Do your fingers itch, are you pistol-whipped?
Will you step in line or release the glitch?
Do you think she'll sleep with the panic...
