When Chris was 15 his Uncle Angelo bought him a guitar. Chris began teaching himself how to play, but he didn't become serious about music until the very end of high school. He was too busy skateboarding. Right after high school, Chris started playing with the Vacant Andys, his first serious band. After several years with the Vacant Andys and a one-album stint with The Agency, Chris went on to play with Further Seems Forever. While he was with FSF he started a solo side-gig and took a chance with an acoustic sound. Dashboard Confessional began when he recorded the Drowning EP for Fiddler Records. The name Dashboard Confessional comes from one of Chris' songs, "The Sharp Hint of New Tears". The line "On the way home, this car hears my confessions." made the phras More... (Submit New Dashboard Confessional Lyrics) (Submit New Dashboard Confessional Lyrics) Review about Dashboard Confessional The Resolution | Reviewer: Salokin S. Schatnop ------ About the song Screaming Infidelities performed by Dashboard Confessional It's been a little over a month since I wrote last. Like my post from 11/3 described, I was scheduled to see her. Looking back though, it sure feels like it's been much longer. So here I am - in the same place, in the same seat, listening to the same song. Time has passed though, and now I’m on the other side of the situation, travelling from anticipation to reflection. It feels strange to come back to something that feels so far removed. Over this time, these lyrics have certainly changed my outlook, but my own outlook on these lyrics has also changed. Though everything in my life is virtually the same, I try to say I’m different. Yes, I saw her again. But it came at a cost. Was it worth it? When I saw her again, I couldn’t help but smile. It was the greatest schism of emotion I’ve ever experienced. I was scared, happy, sad and excited all at once. She smiled too. Why were we smiling? I guess that’s where the commonalities stopped – two people who once were soulmates were now… nothing. We talked for several hours. I guess I didn’t talk much, though. It’s weird talking to that person, you know, *that* person, who you used to fall asleep with on the phone, who would make a 5-hour conversation feel like a few minutes. Well, those several hours still felt like a few minutes. I tried so hard to impress her. I spent two months investing in myself to become a better person in any way I could. I thought I could win her back. Instead, those hours, feeling like several minutes, were cut short. A car drove by, and she said “that’s your cue.” It didn’t take me long to realize what was happening. I was the “crazy ex,” and her new boyfriend was just “checking up on her,” driving by now, parking, stepping out of the car. Last thing I remember her saying was “Thanks for taking your time.” Then she slammed the door on my face. You are the only person who can choose how to live your life. I went through two months of hell, a stolen wallet, a plane ticket that cost me hours of grief and hundreds of dollars – just to see her one more time. She might have slammed the door, but I know in my heart that she didn’t want to. I hope, truly, that she is happier with this new guy. Sure, it came at a cost. Everything in life does. Was it worth it? -I think there are some questions in life that don’t come with answers. To each of you who feels this song, whatever your situation, good luck. The song is actually about | Reviewer: The Wise ------ About the song Vindicated performed by Dashboard Confessional Cheating. He's made love with a girl who was engaged to be married. If you hear the secret's in the telling, you'll make the connection. He has a deep desire, be it love or lust, for someone who belongs to someone else, in this song he's retelling how he felt, then he's telling the girl to not make an advance "let me slip away," against the current because the reality is, he still wants her. aaden reece lemalke, too bad you'll never read this<3 | Reviewer: emma jane pybus. ------ About the song Stolen performed by Dashboard Confessional I first heard about this song through a friend. He said it he and his best friends song. He was crying as he told me, because they just got into a fight, and that she really has stolen his heart. It's been months since that day, and he still doesn't know that I'm completely in love with him. I'm crying as I type this because I can't help myself. Love is so confusing, and I think it's stolen my brain. Amazing song | Reviewer: Owen Ter ------ About the song Vindicated performed by Dashboard Confessional I had this one stuck in my head on and off for the past few weeks.. just decided to google it today, and here I am. :) I think I can relate most with "(:"'s post... There's a girl I care for a LOT, but I think it's best if I just let her go. She doesn't know what she wants, and I'm not about to suffocate/smother her and so make it harder for her. yeaa buddy.. | Reviewer: Jordan ------ About the song The Ghost Of A Good Thing performed by Dashboard Confessional I think it's about a girl who had a relationship with the guy once and it went really well for a while and ended, time moved on and she still has a lot of feelings for the guy. She's chasing "the ghost of a good thing" or a love that's no longer there. I think "just bending the peices til they fit" ties along with that because no matter how she tries to make it work, its not meant to be. whoa, | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song For You to Notice performed by Dashboard Confessional my boyfriend broke up with me about 3 weeks ago, but while we were going out since our school doesnt have a homecoming dance, he have me one. well actually he took me to an elementary school parking lot and played his dashboard confessional CD in his car with it turned up so we could dance to it. this is the song that was playing when he kissed me for the first time, and to be honest... i would relive that moment a thousand times if i could. Involved | Reviewer: Samantha Jo ------ About the song Screaming Infidelities performed by Dashboard Confessional Not only was I completely involved the moment I started reading these lyrics, but I was also looking them up because tonight, I'm thinking about someone other than the person I'm with. I'm cuddling close with blankets and sheets, but also with someone else... and I'm breaking. I hope Salokin found his redemption, as I will surely not find mine. yea, same here | Reviewer: ill.lit3rate@gmail.com ------ About the song Screaming Infidelities performed by Dashboard Confessional I know how this feels. Im goin through the same shit here. Was with her for two years and then poof, we decide to have some space and suddenly shes gone off with another guy. After all that time telling me no one could be better, always and forever sort of thing. I dont get it, the guys an ass too. But this song seems to catch not only how Im feelin but how Im acting also. I just hope it gets better from here on out :/ Broken | Reviewer: Lost in love ------ About the song Stolen performed by Dashboard Confessional This song reminds me of an old friend. We admitted we liked each other and have grown apart since when we were seperated by schools, now every time I call he doesn't talk to me used to. I can't stop thinking about him but we never are able to meet up. Sometimes I get the feeling someones thinking about me and I lie on my bed and hope that it's him. Some day I'll get the courage, I'll say I need him, I'll say I want him and most of all I'll say I love him. I hope. Wish Me Luck | Reviewer: Rachael ------ About the song For You to Notice performed by Dashboard Confessional There's this senior that I like, and he's never had a girlfriend and he's really shy. I ended up getting stoned with him and a bunch of friends and we ended up making out. I asked him, in my stoned state, if this woud just be a one-night stand and he said no. We've been talking a little, but we're both shy. I'm just really hoping this all works out. My Story | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Screaming Infidelities performed by Dashboard Confessional I think for me the two parts that describe my situation the best is when he says, "As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs, and sit alone and wonder, how you're making out" and also "I hope you're as happy as you're pretending." Me and my ex girlfriend still have feelings for each other and I really want to be with her and make her happy but I haven't been given the chance yet. Sometimes I'll be sitting at home writing my own songs and I'm just distracted by thinking of her that I never get much done. Reading some of these reviews, I see a lot of other people are touched by this song in the way that I am so it helps to know you're not the only one. </3 | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Stolen performed by Dashboard Confessional This song reminds me of a boy and a girl.. They're the best friends in the world, and they can talk about everything together. She makes him smile whenever he sees her. In fact, he's fallen for her, but he wants her to be happy.. For now, she's dating a dude, which is treating her bad. her feeling towards him are blinding her, and the only one seeing it, is her friend. And recently, he told her what he hinks of her BF. It totally broke her heart. And now he's sitting here, the day after the storm, thinking about what to do next.. You have stolen my... | Reviewer: Loren ------ About the song Stolen performed by Dashboard Confessional This song was mine and my ex julies song, that was around 2-3 years ago - i still speak to her now but i love this song; but it reminds me of when we were one and yano it kinda sucks but yah this song is beautiful and one of my favourites 10/10 - Lolly. For all the broken hearts: | Reviewer: Salokin S. Schatnop ------ About the song Screaming Infidelities performed by Dashboard Confessional My life the past two months has been hell. I suppose you could call me the victim of another failed long distance relationship. It was perfect: 3 years of dating, first relationship for either of us, and so many hard, hard moments that we persevered through and drew us even more into love with one another. I thought we were unbreakable. As if I can't stop thinking about her, this song just *had* to come up randomly on my iHome. I know I'm going to play this over and over again tonight, to the tune of my own sleeplessness and guilt. I'm sure there are many of you guys out there who would urge me to move on and find a "new love," but I in turn assure you that I absolutely can not. I had someone who showed me what true happiness was. I used to fall asleep some nights just smiling, in awe of how incredibly blessed I was to have such a beautiful, loving girlfriend. Now, if I can even muster myself to sleep, I find myself lost in the memories, as the song says, "I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets, I am alone in my defeat." As a busy college kid, I have a lot of pressures on me from a lot of angles. I thought when I left home I wouldn't change. Well, I did, and I became someone I am ashamed of. And now -- it's simply too late. She's been seeing a guy lately, or at least hanging out with him a whole lot, and I can't help my clenched fists shaking uncontrollably at the thought of his face. I would never act rashly or violently, but the pain is so deep I constantly think about how I want to hurt him. If you've read this far, then you might have felt some kind of emotional connection with my words. As an aspiring author, I've found it is often a good thing to write in a raw, uninhibited manner. It helps draw the audience into the story. But I'm writing these words now for me. Everyone needs a release and this is mine. I do have one final comfort, though. I booked an impromptu flight (wasn't cheap), and I'm going back soon. I'm calling it a final chance at redemption. Maybe all I'll get is a slap on the face and a goodbye, but for some reason, some small part of me can't help but hope. Until then, I hope all of you find some kind of comfort. Maybe it's in writing, as it is for me. Maybe it's in this song. Whatever it is, don't ever forget - you are never alone in this. music is beautiful | Reviewer: cm ------ About the song Stolen performed by Dashboard Confessional "This song speaks for so many people. Everybody has a love story that it reminds them of. I'm still in love with my ex. He still likes me, but I know that he'll never feel the same way about me as I do about him. This song helps me deal with it." Whoever wrote this, I was thinking the exact same thing.. It made me laugh when you wrote "everybody has a story that it reminds them of" because the first time I heard this song, it brought me back to where I was with my ex boyfriend. I will always be crazy over him. Anyways, for all of those with broken hearts, look up and you'll find guidance, and for those who are trying to tell someone that you love them, you should tell them even though it is hard because but we don't live forever, and nobody wants to wonder "what could have been" :) keep smiling everybody! Music sends a beautiful message! .... | Reviewer: I remember. ------ About the song Stolen performed by Dashboard Confessional This song is really BEAUTIFUL, atleast for me, i still remember my Friend, im inlove of her,but i really dont know what to do, she became my best friend, too hard for me. When she talk me about a guy , thats break my heart :[ , I hope anyday can tell my friend how much i love her... This song bring me too many memories, same as "This Year Love" from David Grey. </3 | Reviewer: LisaWongTong ------ About the song Stolen performed by Dashboard Confessional This song makes me wanna cry every time hear it. it reminds me of my ex. we were together for a year & it was the happiest i've ever been. we were so in love<3 i haven't seen him in over 3 months now, he completely disapeared. lost his job, phone, apartment, & was heading for jail. i have no idea where he is or if he's okay. it breaks my heart completely... Wife gone | Reviewer: D. ------ About the song Even Now performed by Dashboard Confessional This song says exactly how I feel right now. After five years my wife has left. I keep wondering where we both went wrong, but I think we let our daily routine complicate our passion. I keep waking up in the middle of the night thinking that she's right next to me. Smelling her clothes that are still here, standing in our closet looking at an empty space where her clothes used to be. Even now I feel her presence here, but she's gone. She'll always be in my heart. I still hope that she'll come back one day. to "unbiased opinion" | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Remember to Breathe performed by Dashboard Confessional Dude, the POINT is for it to be simple. It's a stream of consciousness, a raw reflection of someone's thought process. Think of it like this: when you're reading a book, while the narration might be extremely poetic, thoughtful, and full of fancy literary techniques, the dialogue will not be (unless the only people who speak in the book are all writers). And that's what this is: someone's internal dialogue. That's what makes this song amazing: it just feels so real. Even Shakespeare's characters sometimes spoke like a commoner. fires. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Stolen performed by Dashboard Confessional this song reminds me of the time a boy and a girl were so into each other of the fires he lit and it warmed her soul and of the sounds of the waves crashing to shore and he told her it he's got her as his mermaid and the moon was shining and they could feel the breeze, and she found her home in his heart of the times he told her he loved her but i guess it's time to move on. beautiful song.
