about

pretty straight forward title, no veil here

lyrics

Don’t get too serious.
I betcha’ think you got a mind you can trust
Think she’ll teach ya’ how ta’ rock that band?
She’ll take you to a place you’ll never understand.

A sense of danger and a senseless life
Relief of anger in a plastic knife
Pull the plug and plug the cork
Who’s the stranger? Who do you endorse?

Gonna shoot that woman tonight.
She’s the one that I think I like.
(She’s the only way to make it right.)
Because I think I love her, you best take cover
(Because I think I love her, there’s never any other)
As I shoot her as I take my life
(But a lover who will help me die)
When we’re together I feel at home.
We trip to where we’re never known.
Though in this sensation I will lose creation,
I don’t wanna leave me alone.

This love is sharp son.
You’re living under an assumption.
And she’s a livin’ under your skin.
Your favorite enemy, you let ‘er in.
You mixed her with your blood kid.
Into the veins of an invalid
Out of the ids of a chrysalis
Your moth is flown and your hearts in recess.

Gonna shoot that woman tonight.
She’s the one that I think I like.
(She’s the only way to make it right.)
Because I think I love her, you best take cover
(Because I think I love her, there’s never any other)
As I shoot her as I take my life
(But a lover who will help me die)
When we’re together I feel at home.
We trip to where we’re never known.
Though in this sensation I will lose creation,
I don’t wanna leave me alone.

Shiver off that thought boy.
Better learn her loves a decoy
A plastic version of a real good time
An imitation of a child’s dream, feelin’ fine

Gonna shoot that woman tonight.
She’s the one that I think I like.
(She’s the only way to make it right.)
Because I think I love her, you best take cover
(Because I think I love her, there’s never any other)
As I shoot her as I take my life
(But a lover who will help me die)
When we’re together I feel at home.
We trip to where we’re never known.
Though in this sensation I will lose creation,
I don’t wanna leave me alone.

Opel Springfield, Massachusetts

Driving bass, complex percussion, dark melodic keyboards, and intense electric guitar leads define the sound that Opel claims as their own. Springfield, Massachusetts based rock band, Opel began writing and performing songs about love, life, loss, and addiction back in 2005 when bassist Bill Szafarowitz and song writer James Fiore (formerly of the band Project Fuzz) joined forces. ... more
