Dirty Cheese and the Hoodie Thieves EP is a 6-song collection that combines the sheer vocal power and songwriting depth of lead vocalist Andy Paul, along with the aggressive yet emotive backing of guitarist Clay Cook, bassist Corey Heim, drummer John Stemmle and lead guitarist Brandon Sidebottom. With songs like “True”, “A Pulse and a Blindside”, and “Love, Chinese Style”, (intheclear) is clearly a young band on the verge of some big things. Musically they are most often compared to A Perfect Circle, Deftones, Sevendust, Taproot, and Incubus, but the band’s influences are drawn from a wider scope that includes U2, Joe Satriani and Jeff Buckley.
(intheclear) has been touring throughout the Midwest for the past two years, sharing the stage with such notable acts as Staind, Hurt, Hawthorne Heights, Three Days Grace, Head Automatica, Rock Kills Kid, Days of the New, Chevelle, Flaw, Sevendust, ill nino, Finger Eleven, Chronic Future, and Greenwheel. They recently won WLRS’s summer-long battle of the bands, and in the process received a main-stage slot at LRSFest in 2004. (intheclear) is regularly spun on WTFX 93.1 & WLRS 105.1, the latter of which they are regularly in the top five most requested songs.
“Once in a while a band emerges from the vast and often mediocre plains of the underground original music genre. A band with youth, talent, conviction, long hair and that certain spark that sends chills to the bone and vibrations to the pockets of record companies. There are many unsigned bands out there and this is the story of one of them.” Louisville Music News.

(intheclear) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never feel serene
So I leave it on your doorstep
Cry myself to sleep
As I dance with the demons
(Fuck everybody)
I wonder if they'll leave
Hardly have belief
Drown, Drown
What are you waiting for?
Drown, Drown
The moment
We will always reach out for you
You fucked yourself again
A second thought that grabs on slowly
Too slow my friend
I′m constantly corrupt
With every single thing
I never want to stop it
Hung over from the stream
I think I'm out of sequence
Now what have I become
I'm sick of feeling sorry
Why am I on the run?
Drown, Drown
What are you waiting for?
Drown, Drown
The moment
We will always reach out for you
You fucked yourself again
A second thought that grabs on slowly
Too slow my friend
It′s you and I
Transform eye to eye
But at the fork, I realized
And had a different path in mind
I can′t feel, I'm numb and angry
Take away my breath, suffocate
Self destructive rage
Bottomless and empty
Constantly in chaos, I′m constantly corrupt
Drown, Drown
What are you waiting for?
Drown, Drown
The moment
We will always reach out for you
You fucked yourself again
A second thought that grabs on slowly
Too slow my friend
Drown, Drown
Constantly in chaos
Drown, Drown
Constantly corrupt
The lyrics of "Drown" by (intheclear) convey a sense of chaos and turmoil within the singer's mind. They never feel serene, and they cry themselves to sleep often. The singer dances with their demons as they wonder if they will ever leave, exhibiting a sense of hopelessness. With the armor of grief, the singer hardly has any belief in themselves.
The repetition of the word "drown" in the chorus suggests the potential desire for the singer to succumb to their emotions and let their pain consume them completely. They ask themselves, "What are you waiting for?" as if they are stuck in a state of limbo and do not know whether or not to give in to their feelings. They believe that they have "fucked themselves again" and that their path to healing is too slow for their liking.
In the second verse, the singer admits to being corrupted by every single thing, and they are hungover from the stream. They feel out of sequence and question what they have become. They are sick of feeling sorry for themselves and running away from their problems.
The bridge of the song provides some insight into the singer's mindset. They are numb and angry, and they want to be suffocated, demonstrating a self-destructive streak. The singer feels bottomless and empty, further proving their sense of hopelessness. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the idea of drowning in their emotions.

What doesn't kill you makes you wish you were dead.
Got a hole in my soul, growing deeper and deeper.
And I can't take one more moment of this silence.
The loneliness is haunting me.
And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up.
It comes in waves, I close my eyes.
Hold my breath and let it bury me.
I'm not okay, and it's not alright.
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?
Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.
Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.
What doesn't destroy you, leaves you broken instead.
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper.
And I can't take one more moment of this silence.
The loneliness is haunting me.
And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up.
It comes in waves, I close my eyes.
Hold my breath and let it bury me.
I'm not okay, and it's not alright
Won't you drag the lake and bring me home again?
Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.
Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.
'Cause you know that I can't do this on my own. Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now?
Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself, don't let me drown.

The comments section is filled with 3 types of idiots:
1. The idiots who trash on their older stuff and say it's just "noise"
2. The idiots who trash on their newer stuff and say this is "too soft"
3. The idiots who contradict themselves way too much by saying stuff like "they're a band, they can do whatever they want, but I'm not liking this new style"
Let me make this clear
1. BMTH were a different genre when they made Count Your Blessings and Suicide Season, everything after that has been melodic hardcore or something like that, not deathcore, you can't expect them to stick to their old style if they're not even in that genre anymore
2. Just because this song's softer than their Sempiternal stuff doesn't mean its rubbish, it's still lyrically one of the best songs they've ever made, and if all you care about is how it sounds, I'm sorry, you need to be listening to stuff like Justin Bieber and One Direction, not Bring Me The Horizon
3. No band has stuck with the style they started off with, people grow up, and naturally probably ditch their old styles because they're either bored of it or they can't do it anymore because they've finally gotten over the crazy drugs they used to do at that time

calma ae primou, ouve aí a chelsea smile e vê a letra man...
todos nós carregamos essas coisas onde ninguem mais pode ver, eles nos seguram como ancoras, eles nos afogam no mar. eu olho para o céu pode não ter nada la pra ver mas se eu não acredito nele, por que ele acreditaria em mim? por que ele acreditaria em mim? por que ele acreditaria em mim? por que ele acreditaria em mim? por que ele acreditaria em mim?

Drown • Portuguese Version
O que não te matou te faz querer morrer
Há um vazio na minha alma crescendo mais e mais
E eu não aguento
Mais um momento de silêncio
A solidão vem me assombrar
E o peso do mundo é difícil suportar
Vem a maré, de olhos fechados
Respiro fundo e vou me afundando
Não estou bem, estou afogando
Venha me resgatar e me levar pra casa bem
Quem vai me ajudar, quando eu afundar?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!
Quem vai lutar comigo, me resgatar vivo?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!
O que não te destruiu, não te deixa viver
Há um vazio na minha alma crescendo mais e mais
E eu não aguento
Mais um momento de silêncio
A solidão vem me assombrar
E o peso do mundo é difícil suportar
Vem a maré, de olhos fechados
Respiro fundo e vou me afundando
Não estou bem, estou afogando
Venha me resgatar e me levar pra casa bem
Quem vai me ajudar, quando eu afundar?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!
Quem vai lutar comigo, me resgatar vivo?
Venha me salvar, não me deixe afogar!
Porque eu não sou nada sem você

I’m so incredibly proud of you. This was my crying song when life was shit but I know one day I would come back to it again and be able to connect to it in a different way. I haven’t watched or heard this song in almost a year or so and this your comment made me incredibly happy. I too can finally relate to it just like you. I’m so proud of you.
