about

This is the tunnel song.
Huh ?
At the live show, a human tunnel appears.
A transformation tunnel if you will.
Audience members are asked to ponder something they need to release and enter the tunnel.
It won't exist by the time they arrive on the other side.
Conceptually, that is. ;)
Big hit.

But the song is about DEATH.
Death to what no longer serves.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This song originally debuted at the full-on living album experience that sold out in LA in 2018.
In this debut immersive version, a siren sounded from John Avila's bass guitar and the audience was urgently ushered into the MANNEQUIN GRAVEYARD where the band was stationed the entire show.

They were asked to toss their red leaves (the ones they wrote their demons in the red forest) into the casket. To let them go.

They were also asked to disrobe if they like. HA! Nobody really did except the performers ;) ...down to red undergarments ;)

Yeah.. We pulled out 2 tubs of PBR (our sponsor) and got naked. Yuuup.
-----
From the Drivers' mouths:

We've arrived at last.
The time has come.
Two final instructions.
The demons would like to rest now.
Into the casket they go.
And same with your clothes, they must be sooo tired. Off they go.

May we release that which does not serve us.

Death to impossible now.


------------

lyrics

LYRICS:

Got a funeral for a fantasy
I throw a funeral - ohhh
All my words’ worth
For my fantasy
I got a funeral - ohhhh
Put your veil on
Put your dark on
I got a funeral - ohhhh
You know the thing that
Sways you that way
Bury it slow

Woo - Woo
Woo - Woo

Got a funeral for my fantasy
I am a funeral - ohhh
Every instant
has its death toll
Sometimes you fold
Take your veil off
Put your heart on
Host a funeral - ohhhh

Death Station
Na na na na na na nah
It's not devastation
Na na na na na na nah
Death Station
I’m moving on
Raaaaaaar

Woo - Woo
Woo - Woo

Got a funeral for a fantasy
We have a funeral - ohhh
Mascara running that way
Variety show
Awkward hug once
Awkward hug twice
We’re in a funeral - ohhhh
Kill the Defect - Expectation
Ceremony, Hello

I got a - I - I
I got a - I - I

Ohhh Ahhhh Ah
Give up, give in
Give up, give in
Ohhh Ahhhh Ah
Got a funeral - Give up, give in
Got a funeral - Give up, give in

Death Station
Death Station
It's not devastation
It's not devastation
Death Station
I’m moving on
We’ve arrived

Where do we take them?
Na na na na na na nah
Oh, where do we make them?
Na na na na na na nah
Where do we take them?
Na na na na na na nah
Oh, where do we make them?

Welcome to Death Station

I got a funeral
I got a funeral
I got a funeral
I got a funeral
We got a funeral
We got a funeral
We got a funeral
We got a funeral

(Fantasy Rant - not sure what the words are actually)

Give up / Give in
Celebrate
No time to procrastinate - ah

Time to party
Not be guardy
The things we eliminate

Fly low
Above radar
Stab it in the forehead
Non-violent / just hellbent
Delusions in the red - aw

How do you talk to yourself
Do you wanna turn it on
Or do - do you wanna turn it down
Coz you - you - you forgot your clown - aw

We on the same train
Entertain / restrain / detain / sustain / obtain
Oh you - you’re not a mannequin
You’re a human
Turn it on / Turn it up aw
Death is all around
Death to impossible now
