Song Tres: FBTMOF "Should Have Stayed in the Shallows"

"Should Have Stayed in the Shallows"

FBTMOF=Fear Before The March Of Flames.
This band is hands down one of my favorites. Their sound has changed greatly from being extremely hard to much softer. I was kinda heartbroken when just 2 years ago they dropped the "march of flames" (ALONG WITH THEIR AMAZING SOUND) going by just Fear Before. Fear Before has more of a hard indie feel rather then when they were FBTMOF.


Anyways about the song....The distorted guitars start of this next song setting the usual fast pace of metal. The lead singer’s voice is much more raw than the two previous songs because it’s more raspy and only yells. 
Due to the song’s fast, spread out tempos the listener may feel inclined to start moving their all of their upper body as opposed to just their head. 
The song builds on itself by becoming faster, harder, stronger with the guitarists strumming his fingers more franticly.


The lyrics are random and go like this:

"The party hasn’t started till there’s spike in the punch.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.

More ups and downs than a trampoline.
Lets do coke like we’re vacuums
and dance our troubles away
before we drive our cars off bridges.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.

Lets pry her ribs open, and bathe in her chest.

I’m the life of the party until I sober up.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
I’m the life of the party until I sober up.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.

And when they find her on the shore they’ll say,(x 3)
And when they find her ON THE SHORE.

“The shark that got her was an efficient killer."(x4)

Some things, some things, some things are better left unsaid.
Some things, some things, some things are better left off dead.

The party hasn’t started till there’s spike in the punch.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
I’m the life of the party until I sober up.


Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls."


All goes silent and then there is the random sound of children clapping and saying, “yaay” which may comfort the beginning ‘metalhead‘ if he or she is feeling slightly out of their element.
