Vanity Theft - Missing Teeth

This song is musical/vocal/lyrical perfection...

Tell me, is the meaning
Of every word I'm speaking
Lost upon you?

And all the while you are erasing
Every image I'm embracing
Lost upon you

And all the ships that sail out to sea
Leave the dock that runs across the shoreline
A mouth with missing teeth

Tell me, is the meaning
Of every word I'm speaking
Lost upon you?

And all the while you are erasing
Every image I'm embracing

The difference between letting go
And an inability to hold onto...

Lost upon you

And every night as I was sleeping
I think the dock was slowly sinking
'Til I awoke beneath the sea

And by the time my eyes were open
I was lost inside the ocean
With no one left to breathe for me

You wouldn't breathe for me
Breathe for me

And all the ships that sail out to sea...

(And) Tell me, is the meaning
Of every word I'm speaking (Breathe for me)
Lost upon you?

(Breathe for me)

And all the while you are erasing
Every image I'm embracing (Breathe for me)
Lost upon you

(Breathe for me)

Lost upon you (Breathe for me)

Lost upon you

Agreed, and agreed...

I might be able to help you out with this one...

"Leave the dock that runs across the shoreline a mouth with missing teeth."

Thank you so much for the kind words, friend. It's an amazing feeling to know that our music is being not only heard, but so greatly appreciated by other people. It means a lot. Xoxo.

Wow, thank you so much! How fantastic to hear from the actual band itself!

It's also great to have an "official" clarification of the few lyrics I could not make out on my own. This really is such an an amazing, beautiful, and emotionally powerful song. I wonder if there has been any consideration of using this a single? I could easily also see it being used in a soundtrack of some sort.

Thanks again for the beautiful song and the kind words!

P.S. Ships leaving the dock, leaving it a "mouth with missing teeth"; that line in particular is so poetic, creating such a powerful mental image -- really nice job on these lyrics!

I am in love!! I've been listening to this song over and over!!! Girl/Girl Scene introduced me to you guys! I think your music DEFINITELY needs to be in more television shows and movies! I absolutely can relate and I have a feeling a lot of people can benefit from your music :)

The Major sent me here. I'm thankful to the Major.

this song was used on the 1st season in the 7th episode of Girl/Girl Scene! Vanity Theft Rocks my heart into ... the unknown

Such a stunningly beautiful song and piece of music! Wow Wow wow!

@zakkyummms Go see them live, they perform it without autotune. I love it both ways, but I'd hate for you to miss out on this amazing song just because you don't like the autotuned vocals.

[cynicismSteve]

I <3 autotune :)

[Killuminatyi]

This is pretty awesome! and trippy too!
