Hearing this song live was an experience I will never forget. All the members of Deer Tick present themselves as true rock stars. This song, titled Ashamed, is a perfect example of poetic lyrics. It is short but sweet and to the point. A beautiful tale of regret and love. I see a story about a boy who enters a relationship with a sort of religious intensity and fantasy, only so it eventually will fall apart and ruin his faith in love. Listen to the song and try and find what they meant to portray through these words… leave your comments.
I am the boy your mother wanted you to meet
But I am broken and torn with heels at my feet (?)
And with your purest light why don’t you shine on me
Well I should have been an angel
But I’m too dumb to speak
Now as she gets nearer, the visions get clearer
I’m kneeling, weeping
I will hold her dear
Oh, If your eyes water, you’ve got your favorite number to spin
And oh, what a crying shame, a crying shame
What we became
Murdered my throat, screaming bloody all night
Hit him with a book and how he crumbles
Oh you should have seen the arches tumble
Their golden no more
Now I’m smiling in my blood
I’m caught in a whirlwind
I’m going to heaven
I’m standing on trial and it’s painted on canvas
An eternal testament to how we are so animalistic
And oh, what a crying shame, what a crying shame
What we became
I bow my head in the morning light and say goodnight
I held her hand and I, I kissed her eyes
Stumbled down the stairs and hang my self on high
And I started for the town that i have a front yard
And died
SACK Magazine is honored to welcome 420LTD to the team. Here is a little info about the new San Diego based clothing company…
420LTD™ is a street wear line for patients, fans, growers, and vendors of their favorite strains. The 420 in 420LTD™ stands for the California SB420 bill that passed for medical marijuana patients to legally use marijuana. The LTD in 420LTD™ represent that only 14 of the 50 US states plus the district of Columbia have a law that allows for smoking marijuana for medicinal use. Until we can have all 50 states legalize the use of marijuana we will change our name to 420 unlimited!!! The LTD also means that most of our designs will have a limited edition run. We will only produce a limited amount of shirts with unique designs that we have envision while we blazed up. Just like the finest strains, our shirts will be exclusive. Every design on our 1/8ths lines is some of our favorite strains and how we interpret them. We here at 420LTD™ hope that with every visit to our website, every sale, every design we can bring social awareness to the benefits of marijuana and push for legalization of marijuana not just medically but recreationally too.
420LTD™ is a street wear line for smokers, patients, fans, growers and vendors to represent their favorite strains. To change society’s perception of marijuana through our clothing, our activism, and giving to just causes that support legalization and smoker’s rights!
The website will be launched very soon. Stay tuned for the announcement of the website launch date…
