LYRICS
I was on LSD when I saved that family
And I was on LSD at all the talk shows after
Cause Jackie slapped me at a family party last year
He mumbled something I mumbled something back
Neither of us said anything after that X2
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
I’m just a tie dye dragon
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
I’m just a tie dye dragon
Back at school I was anxious
Played it cool let other people do the stressing for me
I’m a fool to feel anxious once something dies that’s it; it’s dead I gotta let it be
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
I’m just a tie dye dragon
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
I’m just a tie dye dragon
Guided by confused light
I am guided by confuse light
I see the future in mysterious ways
I’m just a tie dye dragon
I guess I’m older now
I am I am caught in between who I am and who I’m supposed to be
Everything’s confusing X4
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
I’m just a tie dye dragon
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
I’m just a tie dye dragon
Guided by confused light
I am guided by confuse light
I see the future in mysterious ways
I’m just a tie dye dragon

Brian: i dont do drugs who told you I did
Song starts: I WAS ON LSD
sqwert100 100 I don't smoke weed. We as a band don't smoke weed. It's not something that we do. If you run around telling your friends that you smoked weed with me after a show, I don't appreciate it. It's not true, you're full of shit.
He sings a lot about things his friends experience. And he uses a lot of writing prompts for his songs. Like for example Lone Star from Talon Of The Hawk. His girlfriend wasn't pregnant it was a writing exercise.
Why do they even care to tell people that anymore... like everyone knows they smoke with fans lmao
I am not sure this song is from his point of view though it is not the only reference to drugs in their songs
He said at the concert I went to "This song is about doing LSD with your grandma" so like pshhhh
Everyday it gets harder and harder to show that the bands i listen to aren't cults
Yeah...
Beebo Urie's toe lol
Beebo Urie's toe Fucking same.
Out of all the comments on here this one is the best youve won! You get a bag of bags (nd weed)
One of us .. One of us..
He looks like the handsome human version of shreck in the 2nd shreck movie
great observation tbh, he totally does
Epic
I've been crying laughing for 2 minutes
Shrek live remake
shreCk
“We don’t do drugs guys”
lmfao 😂
I seriously do not understand why they insist that they don't do drugs or smoke weed... like so many people have smoked with them, it's not like it would be a shocker and they certainly wouldn't lose any fans
sorry, but i never once saw them insist they don't do drugs? i only know that brian once said some like "i changed the line about weed in the song because none of us would ever buy weed" as a joke, because he's been writing songs about doing drugs ever since tfb became a thing. is there anything legit where he actually strictly denies doing drugs?
BlackPixelLP it’s in the skeleton commentary😂
Maria C they also said exactly that phrase during their st louis show! .....right before playing cough it out lmaoo
“When something’s dead that’s it it’s dead I gotta let it be!”
the way he shouted that and just the lyrics in itself hit home too hard .
he looks u n c o m f o r t a b l e
amprsand probably uncumfterbul
i love ur eyes the way they look when you're uncomfortable
Yeh
i think thats the point
amprsand it is making me cringe. BUT LOVE THE SONG 😊
Brian: yeah so we're gonna need you to touch my face for 4 minutes and uhhh I might try to bite you or somethin that cool?
Lady: what?
Brian: you're hired
honestly they wouldn't even have to pay me to do that lmao
@@gothclown9013 I would pay them to let me do it
I haven't been able to listen to the front bottoms for 2 years because in April of 2016 I got into a car accident on the way to their concert with my ex boyfriend. They were our favorite band, he even had a talon of the hawk tattoo. They were my everything all throughout high school. I waited to see them for so long and I was so excited. But the car accident we got into on the way to the concert was so bad that every time I listen to them since then I got anxiety. The car was totaled and we were stranded 3 hours from our home town. Not to mention my head broke the window, just a concussion though. That brush with death before seeing them was just a lot to handle. However, I'm healing and this song is helping me. Thank you for being in my life for 5 years now tfb. Thank you.
Hope yall are doing well. I'm seeing them in 12 days. I'll keep this in mind rock out for you
I know this is a long time after but I'm sending you good vibes.
To me this video makes reference to everyone’s grooming and opinions they present to you in hopes of shaping your life. When a parent says study more, when a teacher says you need to be more proactive.
The term tie dye dragon refers to his ever changing portrait of himself, the way he and others view him. “Stuck in between who I am and who I am supposed to be”-aren’t we all, trying to be something better then ourself but stuck in between the old and the hoped for new versions of ourselves. The drugs may or may not be literal, it could easily be a metaphor for some faults he may believe himself to have as no one is perfect, and lastly the future he sees in mysterious ways, well he’s insightful at the end of the day our boys from TFB aren’t dumb and sometimes they can imagine the future/consequences they may cause.
Oh and one more metaphor I draw from it all is that the confusing light is the good advice you’re given in life, the guiding light that you follow no matter how incomprehensible the full effect of it may be whether you’re chasing a college degree knowing it’s better you have one, chasing a more moral version of yourself knowing you hurt those around you constantly, it’s a song about metamorphosis and how transformational it can be whether or not you as the transformer can fully see all the positive strides you’re making in your life.
TFB
2013: "And they cut your hair, and sent you away. With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay!"
2018: **emotionless and gets head shaved**
WHAT ABOUT THAT ANXIOUS YELPING OF "WHEN SOMETHING DIES THATS IT, ITS DEAD, I GOTTA LET IT BE" IS EMOTIONLESS!?
That line is symbolic u dumbfuck
@@willlucas270 you don't have to be an asshole about it you prick
@@willlucas270 sorry. That last part was uncalled for, but seriously dude.
I would expect nothing less strange from this band
*"But she sees the future in mysterious ways"*
recycling lyrics lol
😂😂😂
the grandma EPs are mostly reworks of old songs. The lyric was probably taken from this, rather than for this. That's why it's not on Going Grey or their next full album.
Numb b b ✌ 🖕
that is one weird lookin' crystal ball.
*intro guitar starts playing*
me: alright cool cool i like this
*creepy hand visuals*
me: this looks sick
*I WAS ON LSD*
me: okay YEAH LET'S FUCKIN GO
fredo disco 😂
haha same here
fredo disco That’s about right
:justright:
fancy seeing you here
"I am caught between who I am and who I'm supposed to be. Everything's confusing"
Shit that hits way too close to home
Can we talk about Brian's grey hairs though. We stan a salt and pepper angel 😂
BuffyGlam OMG
Looks like he's... Going Grey
James Molloy You, you're my favourite now. Best joke of the year; 10/10, I snorted.
BuffyGlam *slams table* we stan!
Who is stan?
i love the colour grading in this mv
It's really satisfying to look at
I've liked each and every song they've put out, both old and new. I'm not really a long time fan, only having got into them in the last year, but I was introduced to them through their older stuff- even still, I love all their music. This song reminds me a great deal of their older work and holy shit, it is amazing.
I love that it used to be "she sees the future.." and now its "i see the future in mysterious ways". Tfb has rlly come a long wat and grown up so much. The way he sings "Everythings confusing" reminds me of "nothing matters the importance of nothing".
going grey was released not even a year ago...
Apollo Britton your point?
Apollo Britton tjose lyrics are from a song from years ago called wolfman
ya ya i know ab wolfman but "she sees the future" is from peace sign
*What kind of barbershop is this?*
These dudes have always had an eerie ability to produce music that perfectly describes my soul.
The best birthday gift I’ve ever received
Layton Webb Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday 😊
Layton Webb happy birthday. Have a great day
happy birthday!!
Happy bornday
"when I saved that family" Was it the victim's family?
Hehehe
I love how only us Front Bottoms lovers get these jokes 😂
I was on LSD when I saved that family
And I was on LSD at all the talk shows after
‘Cause Jackie slapped me at a family party last year
He mumbled something, I mumbled something back
Neither of us said anything after that

Graham Smyth its in the description lmao
wasn't there when I posted this bud
I prefer using LSD myself
If you wanna look into the meaning of the song: Some of the song can be taken as how the person you see as a hero may not be as amazing as you think they are. There's also parts kind of about how after highschool a lot of people don't know what to do with their lives.
This sounds like a love letter to who they were as a band and an acceptance of how they are progressing as one too 😭❤️
I like subscribing to record labels, and then I get notifications for bands I've never heard of, and I react to I'm them. 😄
landynistrash !!! Same 😂
Sounds like a mix of the FBR front bottoms and the old Front bottoms . It’s so perfect it hurts
This is my new favorite ASMR video.
Nick Prda No comment.
This reminds me of their older music and I am living
THIS SOUNDS LIKE THEIR OLD STUFF!!!! THANK YOU LORD
Tie Dye Dragon is one of my favorite songs 👏💕
whoever is touching Brian’s face is one lucky gal
Kylie McCurdy plot twist: it's matt
sal f i know lmaooo it was a joke
Brian is ugly so no
Maryia Chelkite can u just shut the fuck up bc everyone knows you’re lying
Zarah \m/ ok jeese plus I'm not lying
This made me feel so uncomfortable and I love it.
mrmousey91 This sums up most TFB pretty well.
I realize there’s most likely something deeply wrong with my mental health based off the music I tend to get obsessed with. This is one of those instances.
I SEE THE FUTURE IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS
I was not paying attetion to the video, just listening to the new song. Then I looked up and saw her shaving his head. I was... I am still shook
I've never heard of this band, thanks FBR for dropping this dope song and sliding with it to my dms
@links313 look up their song the beers. thats the OG awesome front bottoms. this is the new awesome front bottoms
Yay!!! I’m happy u found this amazing band. Literally every song is awesome
Yeah imma send it to mt fellow emos so we can now bask in its beauty
KitKit Meow you got me there mate
If you like this look up my grandma vs pnomnia (idk if I spelled that right sorry)
And welcome to the club
Leaving a Like & comment in hopes of future recommendations for the future youth....oh yeah, oh yeah.
5 days later and its still on repeat,
I cant get enough😍
This video is me around now. In the middle of high school, my real life is building around me, I’m losing old friends, meeting new ones, learning about the world, and building new experiences.
I've watched this 5 times and listened to it about 8-20(jk only 8) times and I've been walking around singing it all day and it makes me kind of sad now its just really relatable
love love love you guys 💛
"Once something dies, that's it, it's dead, I gotta let it be!"
*sensually strokes the carrots*
I would have been like "stop touching me!!!!!!" after 5 seconds
His hair must be so oily at the end of the video
LOL
haven't listened to them since freshman year...now I know what I've been missing :,)
This video makes me UNCOMFORTABLE
That sigh of relief when we realized the clippers were turned off
Natalie no they weren't you can see the hair that gets cut off at the end. Looks like they were off until the end and I did some googling and he has stated hes getting an "army man" haircut and I don't think he was kidding. RIP the hair of the god
Shit I’ve never heard this band but this is dope as hell
Lemonskilledmyson fuck Yee boii
its pouring outside, I'm driving on the highway, the clocks ticks 2:45am. I'm high hanging with the girl of my dreams
Brian is the best man around for sure. The moshpits at their gigs are incredible
they remain the epitome of my constant mood
I can just imagine them saying "ok brian, don't laugh when she's rubbing her hands all over you. don't laugh.."
damn man i have a crush on replay button!!!!
Just found out recently there’s a slang term called “chasing the dragon” which means trying to chase a high, gave a lot more meaning to this song for me. Here’s a pretty good definition I found from urban dictionary; “This term is a bit more complicated than merely "smoking opium". It starts when you have your first high, the world is peaceful, everything is perfect, you're numb, but in the best way possible. But, soon, it starts wearing off. Fast. Your mind races, you're pulled out of your dream world. You crave the drug more and more, wanting to feel the same way as you did on your first high. You go to the dealer and buy the same amount you had the first time, and smoke. Still feels good, but not as good as first time. You go and buy more. Closer, but not quite there. You're stuck, you don't know what to do. You want to go back to that little dream world and stay forever, but your body is already developing a tolerance. You panic. You use all your money to buy more and more and more, but still, not the same as that first time. You realize that you have no more money, so you start selling your things, pawning whatever could get you that next bag. Still, nothing compared to what you had on that first, magical time. So, you're broke and own nothing. But you don't care, all you care about is getting back to the first high. You start stealing, doing "favors", whatever gets you the money for the attempt. Your life becomes a living hell, all in search of a repeat of the first high. That's chasing the dragon.”
yea but people don't usually 'chase the dragon' with acid. usually when you come off an acid trip you're like "goddamn i just wanna be normal again and fall asleep" lol
i don’t know why but “tie-dye dragon” is an oddly and extremely relatable phrase
Been stuck in my head for two weeks.
“I see the future in mysterious ways” reference to peace sign middle finger?
Love love love
Sheila AM SheiShei qqgbbmzNSS MEN MZZMSS! S.A a!! As ss@

This video is BEAUTIFUL hopefully seeing them for the first time in may. So excited.
This song reminds me of my childhood
*I WAS ON LSD*
Well....I may be a smidge tipsy....but I’ll be damned if that isn’t the most relatable music video I’ve seen in a hot minute....wtf
YES, I am here for this so hyped for tour again
Sí mi vida tuviera un soundtrack, sería con su música. Siempre me acompañan en mis viajes por la CDMX
Saludos
U r the best band in the world
Lovely as always! Just wished they’d tour in my city but that’s what I get for living ins Saskatchewan 😪😂
omg amazing. will definitely cover this soon on my channel!! so excited for the ann EP
I love it when Fueled By Ramen introduces me to new bands!!
*Goes into job interview*
Interviewer: "So under strengths I noticed you wrote I'm a tie dye dragon... What exactly does that mean?"
Me: "You don't listen to the Front Bottoms? This job probably isn't for me..."
awesome, something really fresh ... kudos :))
Been wanting you guys to make new stuff for so long it's nice to see you've lost nothing :D
Really want to hear this song live
EVERRRYYY TTHHHHHIIINGGSS CONFUSSSSIIINNNNGGGG
EVERRRYYY TTHHHHHIIINGGSS AAAA CAAAVVIITTYYYY
just finished a tour and releasing new music already??? we stan one (1) band
Phenomenal, i love this song and the front bottoms
Wow the front bottoms are back, this is amazing
OML BRIAN IS SO FREAKING CUTE
I'm really digging this. It sounds rough, like their first album. Going Grey is great but it was smoother and not the harsh sounding and reminiscing of their self titled album.
This is nothing like their first album. Sounds like more of a mash-up of Back On Top and Going Grey. This is bounds better than anything on Going Grey, though.
Front Bottoms will never cease to amaze me 😍 my fav band!!
This is beautiful
But "tie-dye dragon"??????, hmmmmm, u guys keep me thinking lol, I love u guys so much💘
I love this band with all my heart
Adorei 😊 é uma daquelas músicas pra ouvir a qualquer hora.
