Lot Like Birds, A - Connector Lyrics
Go through solid stages not noticing me.
Hands hold tightly.
No one shares.
Go through solid stages not noticing me.
Hands hold tightly.
Doll it up!
At the rate the paint is peeling off the wall,
We'll need to cover it!
Before it all falls apart!
Oh, it'll all fall apart.
Truss it up!
At the rate the skin is sloughing off our bones,
They'll need to bury us.
Because we all fall apart.
The open mouths of these rooms are connected
By a hallway, dark and narrow,
That we pass through like marrow through bone.
And we do it alone.
I miss the point and wish I still didn't dream.
A taste gone mad, a sweet sadness, my favorite feeling.
The whispering walls sound like an endless corridor
And at this rate, all the paint is peeling off the walls.
And all I want to do is chase it (before it all falls apart)
Down the hall made out of frozen faces.
Expressionless, eyes to the ground and lips locked tight,
Ever so quiet, ever so quiet.
And I never choose to taste hallucinations of what I've seen.
Because I don't see the difference between chasing ghosts in dreams
And chasing dreams in life.
Doll it up!
All the ones still close to us
Are the ones that most of us
Still don't see the way.
I would have thought that it could be the sympathetic solution, disillusion.
And if I stayed or left would you notice more or less of my existence?
Out of the corner of my eye,
I see the ghost stutter-stepping like strobe lights,
Ever-inching closer, but always out of reach.
So I hold my breath and keep it under my tongue
And wait until both of my lungs are filled.
If I count to ten, will it all go away?
Brushed aside or pushed aside?
A difference in tension,
Intention and force applied.
Cast aside or passing by
People as canvases: blank outside and bleak inside.
We learned (and it caused other things asunder)
To stay (and avoiding all the turmoil)
Out of the way of each other.
Just stay out of the way!
Always colliding with the things that we had tried hard to avoid
We just bury them, close our eyes, cover it up.
But what was buried managed to unlock the door
Even though we had boarded them, nailed them shut, hid the keys.
Will we (in for it now) ever (board up the house) find happiness?!
Clarity?! Peace of mind?
Follow me down the hallway.
If I should take a fall, don't look back.
Pick a door.
Any door.
Any door!
NOW!
And now we sit in what was built on our dreams.
A space, now sad, speaks madness, attempts concealing
The crumbling walls.
It feels like our time is getting short.
And it's too late 'cause all the paint is lying on the floor.
Did we selfishly erase it? (And we have all ignored the fault.)
Busy filling mirrors with our damn faces?
Circling flaws that we find without respite.
What do we find? What do we find?
And in the meantime,
All the vultures circle us in hopes to feed.
Because they don't see the difference between
Death disguised as life and life with lifeless eyes.
Doll it up!
All the ones still close to us
Are the ones that most of us still don't see the way.
I would have thought that it could be the sympathetic solution,
Disillusion.
Because we all fall apart!
Oh, we all fall apart!
The open mouths close!

Lot Like Birds, A Connector Comments
just found this band - they are way underated!
Still beautiful
2019 and we still miss A lot like birds
listen to Royal Coda
@Regnar Bensin i am, and im still missing ALLB, royal coda are amazing tho :)
wow this is near perfection
Very Emery at the beginning
I saw this video in a vision when I was 12. Also I saw Rick and Morty. Both came true.
at the drive in did not influence this.
I wonder if the video was made by the same person who does animations for DGD?
John howe
Why does this have to stop?
House of Leaves
Damn. “They don’t see the difference between death disguised as life and life with lifeless eyes”
For a second I thought i was watching Monster House
This video reminded me of the video for The Daily Of The Robot With Human Hair by Dance Gavin Dance
Same animator
@FreshBroc410 - that makes sense
the a lot mars like birds volta
Is it possible to listen to/watch this just one time?
A lot like DGD animation.
I want this game its a Horror masterpiece.
I usually find myself underwhelmed with the alternative/post hardcore scene. But damn the instrumentals that come from this band along with the constant twists and turns they take keep you oh so very intrigued the entire time!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPIcohu4sIc
Well I picked a bad time to get high
Gets 1st min of song stuck in head.. Replays 1st min over n over again
The fuck is this? Dance Gavin Dance emulator?
Whenever I see their name, I think of the band Kind of Like Spitting with their song birds of a feather
No Place is one of the greatest albums to ever grace human ears
DGD's more athletically inclined little brother.
This song is dope
R.I.P A Lot Like Birds <3
REST IN PEACE
Rip birds
RIP In Peace
It's just a dream
Why do the background vocals remind me of Emery so much?
I lost my mind at 0:59. :O
I will ever got chills and tears for this song.
🔄
Still your best song, by far.
2017 bruh
i'm pretty sure he says "why do we fuck and why do we fight?", and he's right, the vultures are about to feed on what I just said
Fuck, I keep thinking the new shit is "okay" and then this comes on again and I realize the new shit is shit in comparison.
PLAY CONNECTOR
Band makes pretty noises.
When this song ends, it is one that you think it was 2:00 long; then you realize all the best things in life seem short-lived.
A lot like Feels
Happiness
Clarity
Pizza pie
What genre would this be considered as? I'd like to explore this style a bit more, any help is appreciated.
Mathrock/Posthardcore
Had to come here to remind myself of what used to be.
someone makes this a VR experience or something
Is this DanceGavinDance?
@1:10
JOOOHN CEEEEENNAAAAAA
visual representation of my nightmares.
wow. this is incredible
check out Ovtlier. they're growing. they've connected with ice nine kills
Just when I stop smoking weed. I go and watch this...and only wish I could be watching this when high 😐
My favorite song !!! i love it lml
I love this song
Is this Resident Evil 7?
Viaears i wish
I know this song tells a story but I can't figure it out please help.
When you watch this after watching Secretband's "Projectile Comet" and you no longer know who you are
I'm getting some DGD vibes.
I like DGD alot more, these guys are good though.
JustJustin it's one of their old singers (Kurt) band
@2:53 hits so hard bruh...
100´% sure this is their best track+ vanity's fair
Same animator from dance gavin dance Lit!
Take my money!
same animator as dgd?
Yeah, it's John Howe.
Bunku yup
omg I've been sleeping on this band wtf is wrong with me wait is this an old dance gavin singer?
Yeeeeeaaahhh buddy! Kurt Travis on vocals. He's been kicked out though :'l
So its A Lot Like Birds but no more Kurt.
MrDeadlySmile awww man that sucks why did they kick him out
He didn't agree with the way the band was going so he left to do other stuff. I think he should really join the Strawberry Girls.
John Howe is crazy talented
10/19/2016
Wow that was intense and fucking amazing
Jacklyn
ola nickel como stas
This Song is just so amazing!
When will this fucking band come out with a god damn new album fuck
uhhdudeful dudeeee this ruined my night haha they are like the band that got me into post hardcore
They put up a teaser on Facebook today so hopefully soon :)
march. fuck kurt he never helped the writing process anyway
bloke thank you. i thought they were dead and i was listening in memorium but bloody oath with a legend.
Matt to be fair, according to Kurt he wasn't included much in the writing process, and any material he was shown he felt was drifting from too far from their original sound, so he bowed out.
God why can't there be a tab for this and Ungodliness? Come on guys, get to it. I don't have the talent to tab 'em myself!
i feel like charlie kelly on a glue overdose watching this
spiders
3:54 squidward falling through the void after jumping off the pirate ship
Andrew Muldawer 😂😂😂
One of the greatest concept albums ever written.
These guys are fucking LEGIT.
One week ago and you are still trippin on this..... what the actual fuck... And these guys decided against making more music like this because it would reach a larger audience? Weak....
Any body else read House of Leaves? This gives me strong flashbacks to moments in that book. Shit.
I would play the shit out of this if it were a video game
Bianca Loveless Binding of Isaac
That video was awesome (the song is too, obviously) but the amount of time it must have taken to put that entire thing together is admirable. My eyes were glued to the screen the entire time, it felt like I was watching a dream of mine through a YouTube video.
done entirely by one person btw
Homosexual Pirate that's awesome as hell I wish I had that much talent aw dude
Colliding With Mars i couldn't of explained that better
Your description is so accurate. Definitely has a surreal aspect to it that reminds me of my dreams... now that I think about it our mind can be a dark dark place...
This is the first A lot like birds song I ever heard.... And holy fuck is it amazing ... Kurt brought his Funky/ hard sound from DGD/Happiness and put it into something amazing wow.. I was just listening to those albums so it's like this is just another song .. This is very DGD inspired sounds very very similar ❤️❤️❤️ I love it
got a strong knock knock vibe.
I don't like this but it's really fuckin good
This song and video are absolutely fucking brilliant. The words have such deep meaning and the video just brings it alive
Stumbled upon this band after following up an old band that featured on an ancient Smosh video, and FUCK is this one good find!
i set my friends on fire?
No the band Discovery Of A Lifelong Error, Cory Lockwood went on to form A Lot Like Birds.
SkyOfGlass the cat video
Yeah cat soup haha
SkyOfGlass I always wondered wat that song was
This song... I listened to it on the worst acid trip ever, you know thinking it would be dope because of the video. It's such a masterpiece but I can't play it anymore because it brings back really nightmarish memories. The first 20 seconds alone are haunting
unfortunately these guys aren't the best live their screams are drowned out by the guitars but they were soft in the first place.
CUZ I DON'T SEE
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JERKING DICKS
ON DICKS
WITH DICKS
AND DICKS INSIDE!!!
i live for comments like this
@Isa N I'm glad someone appreciates it. It just came to me one day after listening to the song. Haha.
dgd is my favorite band too but i really dislike how everyone just compares bands to other bands. progressive post hardcore is a thing
Gonna see them on Saturday and Kurt Travis just left the band. What. the. fuck.
Ayy lmao
Ayy lmao
kurt left the band so sad.
t's sad to see Kurt leave the band.
is this really gone forever? :'(
Dance Gavin Dance are my favourite band, and I am getting mad DGD vibes from this (and not just because of Kurt)
I dig it so much!
skinnyman welcome to post-hardcore friend.
did you mean swancore
I'm gonna dig your grave
its the same guy that does dance gavin dances animated videos as well
DGD with Kurt was my least favorite version of them but I love him in this. Very similar sound at times but for some reason he just fits better here at least for me.
verry Awesome!
Man....stolas and now this....sad day
It's sad to see Kurt leave the band.
@Prodigy Son Of course they did, I meant that they weren't going to go much further, they gained so much initial popularity BECAUSE of Kurt, but they'd unfortunately never be as big as DGD is.
+Carson Troeh I think DGD already peaked they been a band for quite some time now. ALLB has the chance to go farther especially with how long ago they started compared to DGD
Welllll you were proven wrong when IG came out, and you'll be proven wrong when Mothership comes out. Allb will never be mainstream in the scene. That much is easy to see.
@Ulfric Stormcloak IG was a really mediocre album. I'd say without a doubt it was their weakest, along with DTBM2 and parts of AS.
From what I've heard from Mothership so far, it sounds pretty good actually.
@Carson Troeh That's just what you believe though man. It doesn't mean they've peaked though so don't say that. IG broke their records for week one sales and charted higher than every other DGD album. DGD is just locked in a never ending cycle of climbing there way up and and then losing a key member or suffering serious drama. Then they start over.
