Riptide

[Missy]

You all hate your children
they're too fat to feed
you're on medication
taking pills to sleep
I think I'm doing just fine
compared to what you've been doing
won't get vaccinated
insurance costs too much
you think you're so persuasive
but I'm not giving up
saving my life
it's not what you're doing

(chorus)
I won't justify
the way I live my life
'cause I'm the one livin' it
feelin' it, tastin' it
and you're just wasting your time
trying to throw me a line
when you're the one drowning
I like where I'm at on my back
floating down in my own riptide
the water is fine

I like to step on cracks
I go against the odds
you think my world is flat
do I turn you on?
Maybe, yeah I'm wrong
but I like where I'm going
I leave when others stay
I never re-decide
I don't mind if you wait
but I don't waste my time
crazy is just fine
'cause I like where I'm going

(bridge)
I remember when it used to be easy
I remember when it wasn't so hard
I remember when it used to be easy
I remember when, I remember when

(chorus 3)
I, I didn't have to justify
the way I live my life
'cause I'm the one livin' it
feelin' it, tastin' it
and you're just wasting your time
trying to throw me a line
when you're the one drowning
I like where I'm at on my back
floating down in my own riptide
the water is fine

This is probably in my top 3 .. I love everything about it

[ToniB]

^ Definitely!

[Cassandra]

This is such a great song! For sure in my top 5 favorites off Tri- Polar.

[Katy]

Emma's bass playing in this song reminds me of why I fell in love with DUAL.

[Mike]

Everything about this song is amazing, but the lyrics are what made it my #1. I know a lot of self-righteous people who love pointing out the faults in other peoples lives while completely ignoring the faults in theirs. I feel like this song is my theme song

[rockedbritt]

this song sounds so good acoustic

[Riptide]

[Théodore]

These lyrics are cool.

I like them.

" I remember when it used to be easy, I remember when it wasn't so hard " I remember when it used to be easy, I remember when it wasn't so hard "....................I love that sh*t.

[*~DeathDealer~*]

Looks like I'm not the only one who considers this their theme song, lol. I absolutely love this song because of the lyrics, especially the chorus. Every time I listen to it, I think of all the people (*coughmyparentscough*) that try to tell me how I should be living my life.

[Théodore]

That's funny... While every one here thinks to someone they know who's like what's critisized in that song, I do think to my dear mother who has this attitude of "Medications ? No, thank you, I wanna live."

[SaveTheWorldWithRock]

so this song is most def my anthem. Especially since my break up when the guy told me that I was nothing without him and that I needed him to be ok and that I would become an alcoholic because I'm weak. I've since proved him wrong. Its been my fb status numerous times and the chorus was yesterday's quote for my door. I put an inspirational/meaningful/funny quote on my door every day and Riptide seemed to be the best one for the day. The Pups def have some good lyrics that I will probably use throughout the year and I'm sure Riptide will find itself on my door more than once.

Hands down, this is my favorite song of all time. I had the chorus engraved on my guitar its just so powerful and really takes a stand to all those super sexual songs that are out today. Emmas playing is just fantastic and shims vocals are like none other. love it!

I'm sooo excited this is the next single! Fricking love this song. I'd have to agree with most people, one of my favorite songs on Tri-Polar. Such a good theme song I'd say. Can't wait to see what they come up with for the music video!
