Dillinger Escape Plan, The - Prancer Lyrics






How could it all be
We've never been dead
But never awake from this dream
How could it all be
We’ve never been dead
Just mirrors running scared
Slicing wrists while we look for our own mortality
All the lights went out cold
Shadow covers the soul
Essence of the world made ceremonial
Now we all wait for the demise

What was the question?
Why do you need an answer?
We make me nauseas
I guess it just means I need us
Ripe for me to eat your juice runs sweet
Never so good
Funny how nothing chips away at us like us
Check the unlocked door but it's still locked
Always locked
Always locked
Always locked

Talk to me across the way as if you don't even know me
And as if I could never give even half a fuck at all
For the record there is never anyone controlling
Our trajectory is ours
Funny thing is when this is all just memories
Looking back will be the same as moving forward
I'll probably give anything to try to go back in time
Time when I didn't have to
Empty lips just for distraction
Rip the demons from their sleep
Fornicate inside me
Gouge my eyes out so I'll never weep
How could it all be
We finally figured this shit out
And now you'll see that you were all wrong
But you were all just mirrors running scared
Just some ghosts wearing my skin
Trying to disbelieve it
Fuck you now try to disbelieve it
Fuck you now try to disbelieve it
Fuck you now try to disbelieve it
Oh fuck you now try to disbelieve it

Dillinger Escape Plan, The Prancer Comments
  1. J.... T....

    0:19 I think my cat made a similar noise when he got his toe stuck in a door.

  2. B.... ....

    FUCK YOU, NOW TRY TO DISBELIEVE IT!

  3. S.... ....

    This is great music.

  4. B.... B....

    TDEP paved the way for so many bands it's insane and they are just unbelievably talented. To people who dont know anything about instrumentation or music it may just sound like noise but the technicality of it out if this world. It would take accomplished musicians a very long time to figure out how to play TDEP's music.

  5. I.... S....

    This is an album about eating meat.

  6. D.... T....

    You know, this whole tuning ordeal is fucking stupid. It's not the tuning, it's the composition itself. Maybe the tuning can help, but 90% is the composition rather than the tuning. So, yes, this song and most DEP songs are in standard tuning, big whoop.

  7. S.... R....

    THEY WILL BE BACK 2022!!!!! IM PSYCHIC. FOR NOW ENJOY THE BLACK QUEEN.

    S.... R....

    Shawn Rickman just screenshot this shit i hope to god I’m sharing it in 3 years

    S.... R....

    You think after 20 years of losing their absolute shit on stage constantly that any of these guys can still physically continue to tour with this kind of music? I dont see it happening.

  8. T.... O....

    R.I.P TDEP. These guys were legends. And this was one of thier best works. A shame they all split. Oh well, THIS ROCKS

    T.... O....

    That One Guy Tis a shame but they never stopped bringing it for quite a while. They left us with some unstoppable shit man

    T.... O....

    @Alex Hennigh True One of the most brutal concerts I've ever been to was during their Calculating Infinity tour. And I've been to a LOT of concerts. Even though they changed their style over the years they never put out a bad album and they definitely ended with one of their best.

  9. B.... F....

    I don't know how I ended up at a Trivium video but I'm sure glad I made it back here.

    B.... F....

    They used to be so good
    Now Dillenger is just like wine

    B.... F....

    Shogun is one of the best albums of all time IMO. But yeah the rest is mostly forgettable if not downright awful.

  10. J.... S....

    HOW COULD IT ALLLLL BEEEEEEEEE!?!?!?!?

  11. J.... C....

    this is a panic attack personified

    J.... C....

    Your panic attacks must be pretty mild. For me this is calming...

  12. D.... W....

    X_X that scream

  13. D.... D....

    I couldn't get into DEP until I heard this song, now I feel like I've wasted a large portion of my life trying to get into inferior bands.

    D.... D....

    +Austin Pigza wait wait wait what the FUCK? THIS IS IN STANDARD TUNING? HORY SHIT TDEP

    D.... D....

    HARD SAME

    D.... D....

    Words cannot express how hard this shit slaps

  14. S.... e....

    Awesome band... the breakdown at the end is panic enducing. Bravo!

  15. L.... R....

    DEP - one of us is the killer
    NIN - the downward spiral
    Shining - blackjazz
    Aphex Twin - drukqs

    my top 4 albums on the universe, i am 33

    L.... R....

    You have fucked up taste haha 😂
    These are good bands tho

    L.... R....

    DEP are the only thing on there that I really enjoy, Aphex Twin is decent background music though.

    L.... R....

    U might love Death Grips & KMFDM

  16. T.... ....

    Moshing starts at 0:05

    T.... ....

    and it doesn't end 'til the end of the album

    T.... ....

    <3 painted the picture of windmills in my mind in that silence

  17. x.... ....

    In a library, must contain the compulsion to head bang like a manic... >.<

  18. P.... ....

    Fuck you now try to disbelieve it <3

  19. A.... P....

    Seriously trying to like it but its just not clicking

    A.... P....

    @TheJeffum colors :)

    A.... P....

    @Andrew Parker definitely an acquired taste mate. I had to listen to soooo much Dillinger before I really got what they were all about. That being said, they're not exactly for everyone. I'd definitely recommend you keep at it though. If you haven't heard their song Lurch, give that one a shot. That's the one that got me!

    A.... P....

    Just headbang and go fucking crazy when the main riff comes in, how can one not

    A.... P....

    It took me two years to get them, now I can't live without them.

    A.... P....

    I loved it immediately lol

  20. E.... ....

    Sumerian records....
    contains almost all of my favorite bands...

  21. �.... �....

    Picking up the special tee for this song. #weveneverbeendead  

  22. J.... F....

    The first half of the album is killer. Very innovative. The second half starts to fizzle as it plays on. Maybe I need to listen again. I really wanted to pick this up.

  23. T.... ....

    This is one of those bands I REALLY want to like but just can't ever seem to get into because of the vocalist's style. HELP ME INTERNET I WANT TO LIKE DILLINGER =(

    T.... ....

    Wtf, he's one of the best screamers out there... his voice is visceral and POWERFUL, exactly what you need in this kind of music. Rody's got a fantastic range but his voice is weak, Greg sounds like a fucking bear (also you mentioned whininess being an issue, when Rody is basically a post-hardcore singer, at least in the early days, a school of singing that is notorious for its whininess - this being the main problem I have with him). This is intense and crazy music, and deserves a vocalist to match. Imagine how shit it would sound if anyone else sang that opening "HOW COULD IT ALL BE?" Unlike other commenters, I have to say that Greg's voice is integral to the DEP sound and he is one of the best vocalists I've had the pleasure of listening to. Sorry I am just simply aghast at this comment, never understood people who can't get into DEP cos of Greg, must be metalcore fans or something

    T.... ....

    So did you ever get into them and his screaming?
    It took me two years to get into them so I'm curious :)

    T.... ....

    Really? Greg Puciato's vocals have an energy and ferocity that isn't really like any of his 'peers'.

    T.... ....

    Shut up

    T.... ....

    Well maybe it's just not your cup of tea yet. Move on and maybe come back later

  24. G.... ....

    @FlubEnergy 
    YOU'RE ENTITLED TO THE PRIZE 

  25. Y.... S....

    This band is so fucking great. <3

  26. F.... ....

    TAKE WHAT YOU CAN

  27. N.... ....

    I don't usually like extremely hardcore stuff, but damn this is good.

  28. S.... ....

    Depends on how far along the tour it is, cause they do put alot of energy into their shows and Summer Slaughter is a very extensive touring schedule!

  29. S.... R....

    This song is mixed so strangely.... I kinda like it :)

  30. H.... ....

    Awesome song. Just letting everyone know, I just started this channel and I will be uploading tons of metal music with a friend of mine if you want to check us out that would be great!

  31. J.... H....

    Are you kidding?! Billy Rymer is awesome!

  32. M.... T....

    Go anyway. If you get slaughtered, at least it was to Dillinger.

  33. L.... A....

    FUCK YOU NOW TRY TO DESBELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

  34. S.... ....

    Mind fucking blowing

  35. W.... S....

    Saw them at the house of blues two days ago in dallas!

  36. d.... ....

    Personally, my previous experience with Summer Slaughter wasn't as crazy as you think it might be. There was moshing but for the most part it was kinda tame. I can't say the same for every venue though haha

  37. M.... K....

    Hahaha, I just noticed the vibra-slap and tambourine at :031
    Only Dillinger can make a vibra-slap badass.

  38. N.... ....

    music saves

  39. D.... ....

    Yeah I don't like this... So boring

  40. j.... m....

    hope to see these guys in houston on the summer slaughter tour

  41. J.... P....

    But getting slaughtered is part of the fun!

  42. P.... C....

    they're coming to Toronto and i wanna see them but i'm scared of getting slaughtered i might be too tiny for this BUT I WANT TO GO SO BAD YOU SEE MY STRUGGLE

  43. B.... P....

    Bob Jones says: "No THANK you, good sirs!"

  44. e.... ....

    Solid as fuck* (ftfy)

  45. P.... ....

    They deserve every dollar for this masterpiece! Keep the music alive TDEP!

  46. g.... l....

    Pretty solid!

  47. B.... J....

    Not for me

  48. J.... A....

    This is good

  49. T.... M....

    Just tell me one thing
    Only one thing
    O Men
    What r u trying to say.

  50. j.... ....

    Now this is more like it!!! Better than that other shit I just listened to.

  51. L.... Y....

    How could it all be?
