Hi there fellow dropouts,
No we haven't fell off the face of the earth or fell down a huge hole or anything like that, we're back in action again "THANK GOD", its been too long.
Alright guys, here's the update, I know I said the last time that the album was nearly finished, but these things take longer than you think, anybody thats in a band knows all about this shit, perfection is a foe well worth chasing but tiresome and unforgiving, not to mention LOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNGGG.
So having said all that, we're just finishing the final touches and we're there, the music is sounding great, ye wont be disappointed and the album artwork rocks serious ass. We have like one more day in the studio then the good stuff begins.
In the mean time we are booking gigs local and further, hope to see ye at one of them and keep posted for the release of "Sweet Victory".
Great to get back on here again dudes, hope all rocks in the land of yours, keep in touch and rock on,

Skid (The Dropout Syndrome)



Hey guys our first album recently named "Sweet Victory" is nearing an end, just vocals and a few small bits to be tracked then we're down to mixing, it sounds deadly already dudes, ye wont be disappointed, some really cool new tracks that no-one has heard yet along with revamped old tunes, our engineer and wizard (Jono Kearney) of everything that is music is an absolute legend and a genius, if you want something recorded that truly rocks? this is your man, check him out www.myspace.com/jonokrecording http://www.jonok.ie, anyway my friends, hope everything in your life is cool and truly rocks, stay tuned for the release, an album launch gig will be announced in due time, rock on,

The Dropout Syndrome.

Hey guys, here's few lyrics to sing along to,
Skid.

-One Hell Of A Day-

Killing time with energy
Looking for the life that thinks about me
Choosing time to recognise the whole story of my life

I’m on a roll now as far as i can tell
Lying awake in bed at night trying to conjure up a spell
Bleary eyes cant take the light
Smothered in eternal night

I’ve seen it all, I’ve walked a thousand years
Seen many people cheer all of their probs away
Fought until they’re old and grey
Rest in their thankful graves,
Its been one hell of a day, time and time again

Waking up in crumpled sheets
Its hard to know if i have ever been asleep
Wipe the nightmares from my eyes
Shake my hair of smothered lies

I’ve seen it all, I’ve walked a thousand years
Seen many people cheer all fo their probs away
Fought until they’re old and grey
Rest in their thankful graves,
Its been one hell of a day, time and time again

Sanity’s good and dead,
Sorting what i feel from what is fake and real
Drown in this waterfall for the sake of it all
Is this what’s mean to be mine


-Unwanted-

I feel a disposition, I cant find a place to think,
I’m out of character and I’m folding inside,
I’m not what you call perfection,
I’m not even close to it,
I’ll make you feel like reaching so I’ll stay far away

If it’s better for you,
Yeah, yeah, yeah I’ll stay away, we wouldn’t want you to die

I’m poison in your system, there’s no anti-dote for me,
I’m unwanted and I’m useless, so fucking kill me,
Everything I do’s disgraceful,
Everything I do’s for me,
Deserted in my chasm,
Where I’ll stay far away,

If it’s better for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah I’ll stay away, we wouldn’t want you to die

I’m lost and hollow from the pressure
I’m lost and hollow from the pressure
I’m lost and hollow from the pressure
Do what you do and make me feel dreadful
I’m lost and hollow from the pressure
I’m lost and hollow from the pressure
I’m lost and hollow from the pressure
Do what you do and make just fade away

If it’s better for you,
Yeah yeah yeah I’ll stay away, we wouldn’t want you to die


-Burning Amber-


Every time I see you, you’re looking so good again
I can not wait until tonight,
Living for the night only, life wont be this good again
I just can’t wait until tonight

Fall away, you know I’ll take the fall and I’ll take the blame
Never in a rut I’d see you, never in a rut. You’ll live again
Fall away, you know I’ll take the fall and I’ll take the blame
Never in a rut I’d see you, never in a rut. You’ll live again

Once upon a time we were so in love, now we do not know
Can’t it wait until tonight,
Fall in to an apathetic motion,
Burning amber from my frozen tongue,
There’s no way of dodging this doom tonight

Fall away, you know I’ll take the fall and I’ll take the blame
Never in a rut I’d see you, never in a rut. You’ll live again
Fall away, you know I’ll take the fall and I’ll take the blame
Never in a rut I’d see you, never in a rut. You’ll live again


-Storm Of Stations-

Exasperate my own sleeve, and saturate my own belief,
At midnight I’m alive,
But I’ll contrive my day in to night

My only mission is to try to find you
In a calm position, seeing you recline
In this storm of stations stopping in my time
Stopping in my time, stopping in my

I don’t even feel like I should stay,
But I feel like flaking out
Got word from miles and miles away
To take a bow

Exasperate the you in me, a template for all to see
Your in my purple dreams
So lets stop time and politely leave

My only mission is to try to find you
In a calm position, seeing you recline
In this storm of stations stopping in my time
Stopping in my time, stopping in my

I don’t even feel like I should stay,
But I feel like flaking out
Got word from miles and miles away
To take a bow
