  • I've been tryin' real hard
    To realize
    But somethings take a long long
    Long long time (a long time)

    Hold the phone
    Hit repeat
    You got me foamin' at the knees
    Saw the flame tasted sin
    You burned me once again
    Cut the cord, she's a creep
    Aberdeen
    Way back
    Way back
    Way back

    Never saw my dark side
    In, in your eyes
    Back and forth bloody fingers
    Paintin' up the sky
    The sky

    Hold the phone
    Hit repeat
    You got me foamin' at the knees
    Saw the flame tasted sin
    You burned me once again
    Cut the cord, she's a creep
    Aberdeen
    Way back
    Way back
    Way back

    Hold the phone
    Hit repeat
    You got me foamin' at the knees
    Saw the flame tasted sin
    You burned me once again
    Cut the cord, she's a creep
    Aberdeen
    Way back
    Way back
    Way back Writer/s: Daniel Andrew Tichenor, Donald Bradley Shultz, Jared Lloyd Champion, Lincoln Parish, Matthew Ray Shultz

  • Anonymous@ Cole from Suwanee, it's not even about "outward appearances" though. That's important to understand, from a philosophical point. It's about the dragons very Inherent NATURE of being a "monster." Destructive and everything it touches turns to s--t. It's not intentionally malevolent or "bad" yet it causes harm and destruction everywhere. It just wants to be understood and loved like everyone else, but never will.

    I always loved the band, song and yes video, even though it's depressing.

    Watched the video again for the first time in many yrs and it's now reminding me of someone who I love very much, who also happens to be very sick. It's extremely poignant for an animated music vid.
  • Jon from AberdeenThe name doesn't come from Washington, it comes from Aberdeen, Scotland after Matt Shultz couldn't stop saying the city's name while rehearsing there.

    It's kinda a local pride point for us.
  • Cole from Suwanee, GaKina of a depressing video if you think about it. Trying to be friends but you cant because of your outer appearnce to people
