The Matches Lyrics


Shawn Harris - Vox, Guitar
Matt Whalen - Drums
Justin San Souci - Vox, Bass
Jon Devoto, Guitar, Vox

Straight outta Oakland, the Matches set the California
music scene on fire last year thanks to twelve explosive,
hook-injected songs recorded on the cheap in their
basements and living rooms. Coupled with an unstoppable
work ethic that included the band's very own "Commotion
Promotion" tactics, buzz on the quartet's self-released
debut E. Von Dahl Killed the Locals and the live shows that
supported it spread like a virus to music More...

Reviews about The Matches songs

Pure Sweetness | Reviewer: Geno
    ------ About the song The Barber's Unhappiness performed by The Matches

If there is one thing The Matches know (and there are actually many) it is how to end an album. This song some what breaks the mood of Decomposer, yet it fits perfectly. And the odd almost mismatched lyrics some how make the tone and frame of this song easily understood.


Sick little suicide: The matches | Reviewer: Ronne
    ------ About the song Sick Little Suicide performed by The Matches

First off,i would like to say how much of a awsome song this is. I just want to share my thoughts on this song and its meaning,the meaning i have towards the song.

I have listened to this song and what it means to me is that,there is a 'Sick Little Suicide' in every day life. People are commiting suicide to themselves through alcohol,drugs,smoking,love and the list could go on...but

"There's a sick little suicide
in all that we do...
you decide,
which one's for you!?"

You get to decide what you want to do...what long term form of suicide you want to commit,not just to yourself but the one's around you and to the world.

"Exercise and malnutrition
keep curves tight,
cause all that matters is what's outside.
So says every magazine cover"

Is that what the world is comming too? Thats what the majority of people these day's are concerned about 'if she/he does't have "tight curves" and a pretty face' they do not deserve a life,the media inflicts this onto us everyday "So says every magazine cover".

We dare to step out of line,as we would get victimized to the point of suicide. We all just do as we are told,follow what we think is right if we can not live a life being who we are we must fit in with society and be what we are not......

That concludes my 'voice' to the world and to this song.I hope a made some sense to those who read this and i did not confuse anyone.Just remember "you decide" the way you want to live 'your life' and don't let anyone choose your fate.

    ------ About the song Audio Blood performed by The Matches

i love this song!!! It's my favorite off of Decomposer. It just explains how all the punks and goths of the world(no emos, they're stupid, mindless wannabes) feel when they go to a show. it's awesome!!!!XDXDXD


Awesome! | Reviewer: Val-Val
    ------ About the song Scratched Out (Track 11) performed by The Matches

I just love this song. For me, it's all about longing and being alone when you want to be with someone else. It's about anticipation and feeling anxious and needy, feeling like you love someone more than they love you. It's an awesome song, the vocals are just amazing, so many contrasts, so much imagination... And the guitar isn't bad at all. An excellent song, so go listen to it. Now xD

    ------ About the song Scratched Out (Track 11) performed by The Matches

This song just makes you smile no matter what mood you're in. It's comedic, and the way the vocals sound to stress it to make it sound like reality, like it's happening right now, or even happened a little while ago, it doesnt matter, it still can cheer you up no matter what.

means so much | Reviewer: Lea
    ------ About the song Salty Eyes performed by The Matches

To me, the line:
When you belong to a song, you belong
really if the writer saying 'i wrote you this song an its all about you and now you belong here in this song, even if you don't think you belong here anymore, you do." I think the writer is trying to save them.


I like singing out loud. | Reviewer: Emma
    ------ About the song Salty Eyes performed by The Matches

Especially to this song.
Not because it is a cool song to sing to, blah blah blah, but because it is an inspiring song.
I have it on my myspace and my friend who had never even heard of the matches loved it.
Not only is the song flowing and the instrumentals fabulous, but the meaning behind all the lines if great.
It is inspires me. This is my new 'get happy emma! gosh darn get happy!' song. It used to be 'Don't Give Up' by The Noisettes and 'Reach for the Sun' by Polyphonic Spree.

Thanks Matches for giving me hope for all the terrible music out there. Maybe one day all music will be as thoughtful and amazing as this.
