Growlers, The - Dull Boy Lyrics






Lost in the valley of malls
The kids are all eating themselves
Living on capsules and balls
Thinking that there’s nowhere else at all

Flicking a match in the sky
Turning my back on my own
Finally the bottle’s bone dry
With a message inside
That says that I’m gone

I'm a dull boy with a dead dream
Searching for a pulse in any given scene

This city’s shrinking down
I think it’s time to leave this town
Pulling out while there’s still time
Littered all my memories behind

The statues win so let them have it
Let them keep their squeaky clean
Whatever was now is in ashes
There isn’t anymore room here for me

'Cause I’m a dull boy with a dead dream
Searching for a pulse in any given scene

This city’s shrinking down
I think it’s time to leave this town
Pulling out while there’s still time
Littered all my memories behind

This city’s shrinking down
I think it’s time to leave this town
Pulling out while there’s still time
Littered all my memories behind

    Dull boy
    Lost in the valley of malls
    The kids are all leading themselves
    Living in capsules and balls
    Thinking that there's nowhere else at all

    Flicking a match in the sky
    Turning my back on my own
    Finally the bottle's bone dry
    With a message inside
    That says that I'm gone

    I'm a dull boy with a dead dream
    Searching for a pulse at any given scene
    The city's shrinking down
    I think it's time to leave this town
    Pulling out while there's still time
    Littered all my memories behind

    The statues […] that I'm having
    Let them keep their […] clean
    Whatever was now is in ashes
    There isn't anymore room here for me

    Cause I'm a dull boy with a dead dream
    Searching for a pulse at any given scene
    The city's shrinking down
    I think it's time to leave this town
    Pulling out while there's still time
    Littered all my memories behind

    The city's shrinking down
    I think it's time to leave this town

    With a message inside
    That says that I’m gone

    I'm a dull boy with a dead dream
    Searching for a pulse in any given scene

     This city’s shrinking down
    I think it’s time to leave this town
    Pulling out while there’s still time
    Littered all my memories behind

    if anyone of you are willing to put a music(!)video on this platform.......please put the lyrics along with it.for god fckn sake.

  30. T.... P....

    En la carretera austral escuchando a todo volumen con mis chavos

  31. s.... t....

    this song kinda sounds like dig for fire by the pixies. different but that riff that comes in after he says shrinking down sounds like a riff in dig for fire

  32. l.... ....

    This city’s shrinking down
    I think it’s time to leave this town
    Pulling out while there’s still time
    Littered all my memories behind

    I love the growlers.

  33. R.... L....

    my fav band right now!

  34. M.... ....

    Sometimes I find it very sad how I can relate to what he says.

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

    The Growlers and Mac demarco have to tour together wtf ):

    S.... W....

    I saw them both play the same night @ Beach Goth 4, 2015. One of the best nights of my life.

    S.... W....

    marsdelic XD BEST IDEA EVER

    S.... W....

    ew fuck no u cant combine two different indie people who have completely different music and no relevance to each other

    S.... W....

    @Tony SODA Idk somehow RacMedarco always comes up somehow whilst listening to the voidz - growlers - los retros - and a bunch of other stuff - maybe DacRemarco is just a kewl dude with good taste in music

  36. o.... ....

    great song! reminds me of "out of time man" by mano negra.

  37. e.... ....

    ❤️❤️❤️

  38. P.... H....

    on the morning of August 13th 2016 at 09:15 this song was playing on 91.1 KLSU while I was escaping the flood waters in Denham Springs, Louisiana. I felt as IF this song was made just for me to listen to at that particular time. I will forever love this song. It was the anthem of that city that day.

    P.... H....

    connor winter SHUT UP, BITCH,

    P.... H....

    First time I heard his song was today. And beautiful post Paz. Hope you and your loved ones are safe.

    P.... H....

    hope im not having to walk away from floodwaters in this sactown

    P.... H....

    So generally speaking when people try to remember and focus on including small details in stories like that its because its made up

    P.... H....

    You dont remember that it was at exactly 9:15 lol you dont neeeeedd to have something to say.

  39. T.... I....

    All I need to listen to is this song and Love Test. And all is right with the world.

  40. F.... H....

    A friend showed this to me before he passed away... I'm stoked he showed me a gem! Huge fan of these guys!

    F.... H....

    can you tell me some califonrian garafe rock like this? would be awesome!

    F.... H....

    I'm sorry about your loss .. me and my group of friends in a small town love The Growlers. Losing one of them would make me appreciate The Growlers so much more .

    F.... H....

    @franzierhudson that's right,bro! That is why this album sounds amazing. They dedicated this entire album to one of their friends that passed away. When you create something with that genuine sincerity, it comes out real soulful and rootsy.

    F.... H....

    @PLAYED THE FOOL thanks for giving me sticky fingers :D

    F.... H....

    @Blah Bleh yours to keep! out Feb 8th. Papa bless

  41. a.... b....

    a.... b....

    alooper boopermeme know this is 3 years late but try cage the Elephant

  42. J.... B....

    first growlers song I heard

  43. s.... h....

    idk if its just me or this video dosen't load?

  44. J.... O....

    Better than a Joy Division. But little bit dull I think

    J.... O....

    joy division also has great songs as well.

    J.... O....

    you're right. Joy Division are revolutionare :)

  45. N.... G....

    Getting a Smiths vibe from this song.

  46. M.... V....

    It really resonates with me, from the lyrics to the instrumentals

  47. M.... V....

    This song identifies me

    "Dull Boy"

    Lost in the valley of malls
    The kids are all eating themselves
    Living on capsules and balls
    Thinking that there’s nowhere else at all

    Flicking a match in the sky
    Turning my back on my own
    Finally the bottle’s bone dry
    With a message inside
    That says that I’m gone

    I'm a dull boy with a dead dream
    Searching for a pulse in any given scene

    This city’s shrinking down

    Pulling out while there’s still time
    Littered all my memories behind

    C.... C....

    is it not "the kids are all leading themselves"? makes more sense

    C.... C....

    Ian Beale i always thought eating. but leading does make more sense.

    C.... C....

    C César the kids are leading themselves

    I'm a dildo with a wet dream...

  50. �.... C....

    beautiful melodies & lyrics. i love this song.

  51. M.... F....

    Love it

  52. L.... R....

    i'm a dildo

  53. E.... ....

    Waiting for the video to this ....

    E.... ....

    still waiting

    E.... ....

    Still w8ing

  54. E.... ....

    Waiting for the video to this ....

  55. c.... m....

    so dope, its cool that they are Mexican- american too

    c.... m....

    As much as I would want that to be true... well, it isn't.

  56. E.... L....

    this is me

  57. A.... K....

    Lorde just tweeted this song, it's nice

    A.... K....

    What a disgrace.

    A.... K....

    @Elsa Ramirez why? 

    A.... K....

    @Anderson K.C. I just hate Lorde and all her music. Sorry.

    A.... K....

    @Elsa Ramirez Lmfao, ok then 😂

    A.... K....

    +Elsa Ramirez I'm not a fan either, starting with the stage-name "Lorde" and what that says about the ego of the person who chose to call themselves that. But it's always good when someone high-profile puts attention on something obscure that is on a higher level artistically. Maybe some Lorde fans will buy some Growlers tracks and start listening to better music as a result. :-)

  58. A.... ....

    The guitar sounds a bit like land down under

  59. C.... A....

    Love this...

  60. a.... r....

    I'm ready to accept reality and enjoy my life outside of my house... I always play this as a wake up remix then I go kickass in the free world, #beachgoth

  61. s.... ....

    it's amazing how these guys make tons of great songs apparently effortless, song after song after song... They are very underrated imo.

  62. P.... K....

    I'm loving it.

  63. k.... ....

    i'm a dull boy with a dead dream.

    k.... ....

  80. A.... R....

    although this álbum isn't psychedelic...lost their feeling ..

    A.... R....

  86. N.... N....

  87. j.... ....

    This is a rather lovely melody.

    Yet, it still has a sense of unease that I love The Growlers for.

  88. D.... .....
