Dance Gavin Dance - Chucky Vs. The Giant Tortoise Lyrics






Gimme that canvas let me paint some shit
Pass me some poison let me take a hit
I'm just embarrassed and comfortably numb
But failure is painful and lying is fun
Dress code, cocktails, looking so fancy
We feel like we're a little bit classy
Cheers to the fact that we're not dead
Swimming with the sharks, but we're still not dead yet

Psycho, I go
Right to buy those
Optimistic, magic fix it pills
I'm so right though,
That's my life, bro
Underwater
Coughing with my gills

Don't let this moment go to waste, you don't know when the feeling could happen again
Don't let this moment go to waste, you don't know when the feeling could happen again

Touch me, taste me, tell me I'm not fading
Tell me that I look just like a man
'Cause lately baby I've been going crazy
Trying not to be an embarrassment
Touch me, taste me, tell me I'm not fading
Tell me that I look just like a man
'Cause lately baby I've been going crazy
Trying not to be an embarrassment

I'll go in cryo and return to life ho
And make a Bisque, some tomato basil shit
Riding a rhino pico de gallo
Roosters beak, I'll sleep when I leap that jeep

Gimme that canvas let me paint some shit
Pass me some poison let me take a hit
I'm just embarrassed and comfortably numb
But failure is painful and lying is fun
Dress code, cocktails, looking so fancy
We feel like we're a little bit classy
Cheers to the fact that we're not dead
Swimming with the sharks, but we're still not dead yet

Touch me, taste me, tell me I'm not fading
Tell me that I look just like a man
'Cause lately baby I've been going crazy
Trying not to be an embarrassment
Touch me, taste me, tell me I'm not fading
Tell me that I look just like a man
'Cause lately baby I've been going crazy
Trying not to be an embarrassment

I'll go in cryo and return to life ho
And make a Bisque, some tomato basil shit
Riding a rhino pico de gallo
Roosters beak, I'll sleep when I leap that jeep

Don't close your eyes tonight
Perfect melodies are hard to find
I got a feeling we can touch the sky
Let's live in this delusion that we don't live in perpetual confusion and there's meaning to our lives

Hades arc
Golden tarp
Black hole
Slack is for
Slack is for cutting me more
Mountain
Fountain
Shrieking
Preaching
Slack is for
Slack is for cutting me
Slack is for cutting me more

From every little bit of sunshine I call freedom
White 21 is the maximum fun
From every little bit of sunshine I call freedom
White 21 is the maximum fun

Dance Gavin Dance Chucky Vs. The Giant Tortoise Comments
  1. C.... R....

    DGD is the definition of controlled chaos. The intricately precise guitar riffs mixed with Jon's unbridled aggression is what makes them top notch. Oh yeah also tilian slays.

  2. A.... F....

    Don't let this song go to waste, you don't know when it will happen again....2020 I hope.

  3. L.... N....

    everyone: the 4 eras of Dance Gavin Dance are, the Johnny Craig era 1, the Kurt Travis era, the Johnny Craig 2 era and the Tilian Pearson era

    me: the 3 eras of Dance Gavin Dance are, the Jon Mess era 1, the no Jon Mess era and the Jon Mess era 2

  4. J.... Z....

    I've been missing out preferring Johnny Craig's and Kurt Travis's DGD days, Tillian is pretty lit.

  5. M.... G....

    god these vocals are absolutely horrible.. my god.. talk about not understanding what a motif is and or does and how to effectively demonstrate it..

    M.... G....

    *COMMIT SELF DEATH*

  11. T.... ....

    This is the evolution of Earth Crisis.

  12. T.... ....

    2:52 - 2:59

    This part is amazing.

  13. e.... ....

    "Swimming with the sharks, but we're still not dead yet" has gotta be th most ride or die line ive ever heard

  14. T.... G....

    0:36 - 0:53 straight 🔥

  15. D.... T....

    In my opinion, this is one of their best compositions....

  16. A.... L....

    prog/jazz/screamo/pop? Sort of? Very interesting indeed. A lot of talent here

  17. R.... B....

    SWIMMING WITH THE SHARKS
    BUT WE’RE STILL NOT DEAD YET!

  18. C.... F....

    DGD: Cheers to the fact that we're not dead
    Me: Are you sure that we will raid area 51?

  19. N.... o....

    I found this music through porn

  20. H.... ....

    Ok, what drug is the guitarist on, and by far the bigger question, where the fuck can I get some?

  21. N.... ....

    That guitarist is amazing!

  22. D.... I....

    When misheard lyrics are the actual lyrics

  29. T.... ....

    Damn, I never knew these guys were this good

  30. G.... J....

    I like dgd and scream but hate tilian vocal

  31. B.... ....

    I've been stuck in the same music loop for 10+ years and this band really brought me out, I fucking love them to just sit back and relax.

  32. s.... c....

    dance gavin dance: "perfect melodies are hard to find"

  33. A.... G....

    "and make a Bisque, some tomato basil shit..." i actually had to check the lyrics to see if i heard that right

  34. I.... B....

    When you realize it isn't Kellin Quinn

  35. K.... d....

    Saw these guys first concert ever been to but I loved it

  36. H.... U....

    Never heard this band went to see Periphery they were on the bill I am now a FAN! Cool they have 2 vocalist

  37. �.... ....

    hi, reddit people

  38. N.... S....

    Ive replayed this song maybe 20 times tonight, this chorus is catchy as FUCK.

  39. R.... F....

    I could listen to dgd all fucking day long I swear. ❤️

  40. A.... L....

    Imagine not realizing this is fire

  41. G.... ....

    Honestly, while I do find some of the lyrics funny (who couldn't), the vocals just mesmerize me? And every time I hear, "Touch me, taste me," I'm like Ok i can do that. It's the same for Flossie Dickey Bounce. Hell, I can't say the name without cracking a smile, but the vocals on that are EXACTLY why I'm gay.

  42. B.... ....

    The first song I’ve ever heard from these guys and they’ve became one of my favorite bands ever since

  43. S.... ....

    some reused riffs from Attack of The Dashing Young And Bold in here, so sick.

  44. b.... ....

    weakest dgd song for sure so i understand the security guards reaction but still an amazing song

  45. b.... ....

    "What the Fuck"

  46. E.... R....

    He didn't say get food at the gas station with the $5 he f****** lied and I'm still sitting here with nothing to eat and I haven't ate since 4 p.m. so please help me

  47. H.... X....

    I dont know if Dance Gavin Dance is the band or the song

    H.... X....

    It's the band...

    H.... X....

    @Carve and you're a big fan?

    H.... X....

    @Henk X yes I am.

  48. C.... ....

    0:29 0:29.5

  49. C.... ....

    0:30 0:31

  50. V.... G....

    He said pico de gallo roosters beak... I’m dead god I love messes’ lyrics xD

  51. L.... o....

    Good God, did they just leave the retune speed at 0 for the whole fucking album?

    L.... o....

    Wats that mean

    L.... o....

    +Edwin Portillo You can’t hear it? The artifacts in Tillian’s vocals? They Auto-Tuned the crap out of his voice.

  52. C.... ....

    1:13 "You looka like a man"

    -Miss Swan

  53. B.... M....

    Jon's vocals have aged like a fine, fine wine.

  54. w.... 1....

  55. A.... E....

    Gimmie that canvas let me paint some shit!

  58. A.... I....

  60. K.... S....

    This sing , this band <3

  61. R.... b....

    I love you tilian

  62. D.... W....

    Tomato basil shit!!! Lol

  63. F.... G....

    Dance Gavin Dance would be the result of Bruno Mars starting a Post Hardcore band.

  64. C.... A....

    This came to my attention via Circa Survive. Tillian is right up with my bro Anthony Green. But this is LIT SO GOOD. It's an utter BOP imo.

  65. M.... D....

    DGD is my 💩

  66. C.... M....

    Just started listening to DGD for the first time..... this IS cash money cheif.

  67. B.... D....

    This song must be about how good tilian and swan are together

  68. N.... N....

    If you guys want some reeeally good "picture book" artwork for your covers you should contact "Funilab". See Mr. Bills album with his artwork just to see how amazing it is. Cheers!

    N.... N....

    Their album cover artist is Mattias Adolfsson. The artstyle is so good.

  69. D.... C....

  89. F.... A....

    "'Cause lately baby I've been going crazy
    Trying not to be an embarrassment"

    me irl

  90. T.... P....

    What pisses me off about DGD is how they have so many good riffs and melodies, yet they never repeat them or capitalize on them. The chorus of this song, “touch me, taste me” fuckin amazing, then they just powerbomb the track into shitty screaming that makes no sense. Baffles me. Incredibly talented band, but why do they do this every song.... smfh

    T.... P....

    Wouldn't be dgd without it

  91. A.... !....

    Fuckin love it man

  92. R.... ....

    I came here for the pico de gallo

  93. R.... D....

    Awesome
