Lyrics (unofficial)

THE TENT

We need some light, find the lantern
Unzip the tent, we can use the moon
I’m going out into the weeds
To gather everything we need
So stay, stay
Until I come, until I come
Searching for a clue
Even the faintest ray of light
Can guide me right back to you
We have no choice but to run
And to go

I'll get ya

Anything that you need
Anything at all
I’ll hunt down for you
Then I’ll be coming home

Through the dark, through the dark
I’ve gotta get back to you
You’re the lighthouse on the shore
The beacon is my guide
The trail of crumbs, I'm fueled
By your light, by your light
We have no choice but to run
And to go

I'll get ya

Anything that you need
Anything at all
I’ll hunt down for you
Then I’ll be coming home

Through the dark, through the dark
I've gotta get back to you
The distance we maintain is a stable foundation
The trail of crumbs is my motivation
We have no choice, but to run
And to go

Anything that you need
Anything at all
I’ll hunt down for you
Then I’ll be coming home

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

I think this song is a good peice of writing honestly. I dig the feeling the lyrics give me, but the way the chorus is so monotonous almost ruins the song for me.

The lyric "The distance we maintain is a stable foundation, the trail of crumbs is my motivation" flows so well... much like the rest of the verses really.

Its just that freaking chorus. blech.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

I don't hate the chorus, I just hate how repetitive it gets. If it wasn't repeated, it would actually fit well at the end of each verse.

I actually really love the way he sings the song now, too. It took singing along to it to find that for me. It's a weird thing, but some sings just feel nice to sing and this is one of them. Once I got past the chorus, I realized this is one of the best performances Gavin has ever given.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

I will never get past the chorus. That is just horrendous. Not even how repetetive it is. They needed to write a decent bridge there. The whole thing just does not fit. It even sounds somewhat out of key to me.

Also, I would prefer to hear the original Mike Patton. This is certainly the worst track on the album for me. Probably the worst in the entire dredg catalog. It makes me feel better that they didn't write this turd, but they should have tossed this one out like a shitty diaper.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

Well... that's one way of putting it.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

Love the song, lyrics and Gavin's voice... But the chorus really bores me...

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

At first, I was turned off by the chorus like everyone else and would skip the song because of it, but honestly, I'm over it. The rest of the song is just too damn good.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

When that trailer was first posted someone mentioned likeing the song a lot more if the chorus was that abbreviated in the album version of the song - I agree.

I still like the song but that chorus does drag on for me. I too really like fthe feel, vibe, and tone of the song and Gavin's voice aside from that.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

If he repeated two line twice instead of one line 4 times it would be much better. This current chorus is really unimaginative and does indeed suck.

Best song on CAMS... and I like CAMS.

I pretty much agree with all of this.

Pretty much how I feel too. Really enjoy the song, but that chorus bein' so repetitive does drag it down a bit. But overall I love the tone and feel of this song!

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

I understand Dan wrote this song, but they could have changed the melody of the chorus a tad to actually give it an appealing sound. It's just an awful and ugly chorus that doesn't fit the rest of the song at all. Honestly, I go crazy thinking about how much I'd love this song if it had a catchy chorus.

Re: Song of the Week: The Tent

This song relaxes me, despite the repetition in the chorus.

I don't think Dan wrote any of the songs alone. All I've ever heard is that he collaborated from the beginning on the 3 songs.
