The first song I heard in my car when my dad died from cancer last year. I hold this song dearly for it is such an amazing beautiful song. Love you Iron Chic
It's been a long hard year Started fine but it ends in tears One down We're that much deader This one ain't shaping up much better It ain't done with me It ain't done with me Setting sail for some nasty weather Same old shit, just a little bit wetter And it ends right here Burst into flames when the sun appears 'Cause you're done with me Yeah, you're done with me [Chorus] I was wrong when I thought you might Somehow always be in my life You'd hold on to me And never let go Now home feels like a prison cell It's my own special kind of hell I've got the key But nowhere to go Now one thing is clear I'm face to face with my greatest fear I'm a stone Baby, you're a feather Just leave me in the ground forever And don't mind me Yeah, don't mind me [Chorus] I was wrong when I thought you might Somehow always be in my life You'd hold on to me And never let go Now home feels like a prison cell It's my own special kind of hell I've got the key But nowhere to go I was wrong and you were right You gave me the best years of my life I'll hold on to these Hold on to these Hold on to these And never let go I was playing with matches Now I sift through the ashes It's cold now The fire's out I might never be warm again And the rain comes to wash it down Worse to burn than it is to drown Let the cool water Fill my lungs And I won't have to breathe again Like a ship on the ocean floor That couldn't quite make the shore The storm that brought me down Still thunders above my head I think back to where I was Safe and dry on the land above Could have stayed there forever But all things come to an end
I sometimes feel like Jason has lived my life. It’s a cliche to say but iron chic really did probably save my life. Their songs are so relatable and helped me get through some of the worst days of my life. One of the best bands to ever exist. Meeting them in Leeds was one of the greatest days of my life. Best. Band. Ever.
For those of you that didn't know, during an interview, Jason Lubrano, Iron Chic's lead singer, opened up about going through a divorce shortly before this album was written. And by looking closely at the lyrics, I believe that these lyrics are referencing his feelings after the divorce. The lyrics are definitely dark and emotional.
When you're on the receiving end of a divorce, these words, these lyrics especially hit home. You sit in a void. You're in the middle of the ocean and your life preserver has been yanked from under you. The despair is there, pulling you under, but there is a life boat. Reach out, listen to your friends, your family, confide. Then look into yourself, make peace with the wonderful being within, and it might take a lot of time. Sit with you. Listen to punk rock. Smile! Go to a show! Please be well.
Anyone know what plays at the very end? Sounds like a sample from a video game, and I feel it in my bones, but I don't know what it is and it's driving me crazy
I've got one, but unfortunately I downloaded it into my brain when I saw them play it a couple of months ago in Lancaster PA, and I don't think they've come up with the technology yet for me to do what you're asking.

🙏👍
I was listening to this song for the better half of 2023 vibing, not knowing it was actually a warning...
Came for the Futurama Reference. Stayed for the Fucking Fantastic song.

Dear god....what an amazing fucking song. The entire album is pretty much flawless.
It's been a long hard year
Started fine but it ends in tears
One down
We're that much deader
This one ain't shaping up much better
It ain't done with me
It ain't done with me
Setting sail for some nasty weather
Same old shit, just a little bit wetter
And it ends right here
Burst into flames when the sun appears
'Cause you're done with me
Yeah, you're done with me
[Chorus]
I was wrong when I thought you might
Somehow always be in my life
You'd hold on to me
And never let go
Now home feels like a prison cell
It's my own special kind of hell
I've got the key
But nowhere to go
Now one thing is clear
I'm face to face with my greatest fear
I'm a stone
Baby, you're a feather
Just leave me in the ground forever
And don't mind me
Yeah, don't mind me
[Chorus]
I was wrong when I thought you might
Somehow always be in my life
You'd hold on to me
And never let go
Now home feels like a prison cell
It's my own special kind of hell
I've got the key
But nowhere to go
I was wrong and you were right
You gave me the best years of my life
I'll hold on to these
Hold on to these
Hold on to these
And never let go
I was playing with matches
Now I sift through the ashes
It's cold now
The fire's out
I might never be warm again
And the rain comes to wash it down
Worse to burn than it is to drown
Let the cool water
Fill my lungs
And I won't have to breathe again
Like a ship on the ocean floor
That couldn't quite make the shore
The storm that brought me down
Still thunders above my head
I think back to where I was
Safe and dry on the land above
Could have stayed there forever
But all things come to an end
Thank you

Best. Band. Ever.
For whatever reason I love the little random jingle at the very end of the song. I get a sort of "that's where I'm at now" vibe from it.

Especially this one, but I feel like Iron Chic's lyrics are all super dark lol, all covered with some headbanging and danceable punk
@@p.alexlaflam-mcfall2975 Agreed

I read this song was made cuz one of his friends died? Maybe it's a bit of both?
I'm a stone
Baby, you're a feather
Just leave me in the ground forever
I'm a stone baby, your a feather. Just leave me in the ground forever!
Fuck me. That last verse is one of the best things I've heard.
The lyrics are great. Thanks, Josh.
These guys have helped me through so much ❤️
Same
This sums up my frustration trying to find Torche "across the sheild's" single with sugar glider.🤘
Best album ever!
I was playing with matches, now I sift through the ashes
This song fucking rips.
this song hits so hard after covid lol
Take care, my friend.
Hope you’re taking care
what a rad band
All the sads.

Its leatherface meets the marked men. And I like that.
Well how's his wife holding up?
To shreds you say?
miss you everyday Maya
I like this, sounds like a song you would hear in the burnout 3 soundtrack
Anyone know if theres a video of them playing this song live? I've looked around but I can't find one were they do.
I've got one, but unfortunately I downloaded it into my brain when I saw them play it a couple of months ago in Lancaster PA, and I don't think they've come up with the technology yet for me to do what you're asking.

hows his wife holding up?
Did he at least die painlessly?
It'd be great, if I could hear the lyrics.
what a rad band
