Bayside immediately began touring with no signs of letting up. Bayside has shared the stage with acts like Alkaline Trio, Brand New, Further Seems Forever, Glasseater, The Rocking Horse Winner, The Reunion Show, and Taking Back Sunday. They've also completed an east coast stint in support of The Stryder, as well as appearing at the 2002 Skate and Surf Fest, where the bill included bands such as The Get Up Kids, Midtown, Dashboard Confessional, and Finch. During the summer of 2002, Bayside played a three-week stretch on Van's Warped Tour. In October of the same year, Bayside embarked on their first full US tour with Unsung Zeros and Junction 18.
They also released a Split EP with Name Taken.
The Split featured the songs "Loveless Wrists", "Cold and Blue and Lifeless", "Just Enough To Love You", and "Answers We'll Never Get".
In the midst of all this touring several line up changes occurred, as the band strived to find the right mix of personalities and dedication to get them where they wanted to be. Through the many line up changes there has been two constants...singer/guitarist Anthony Raneri and lead guitarist Jack O'Shea.
Former members include Andrew Elderbaum, Jason Enz, Jim Mitchell, and Gavin Miller who was used as a temporary replacement drummer for John "Beatz".
Eventually Bayside found a compatible mix with the current line up: Anthony Raneri, Jack O'Shea, bassist Nick Ghanbarian, and drummer Chris Guglielmo. Also added during this time was the management of Jamie Arthurs of J&J Artist Management.
During that time, they were signed to Victory Records, the label with whom they have released 4 albums.
Their First album, "Sirens and Condolences", which featured the single "Masterpiece" which they filmed a music video for, and spawned a huge on-coming of fans everywhere. "Sirens and Condolences" also features: "Poison In My Veins", "Phone Call From Poland", "Talking Of Michaelangelo", "Alcohol And Alter Boys", "A Synonym For Acquiesce", "How To Fix Everything", "Kellum", "If You're Bored", "Just Enough To Love You", and "Guardrail".
They then released their second full length, "Bayside", which featured the hit single "Devotion and Desire" for which they filmed a music video, and helped Bayside to justify their place as one of the best up and coming punk/alternative bands today. "Bayside"
also featured: "Hello Shitty", "Tortures Of The Damned", "They Looked Like Strong Hands", "Montauk", "Blame It On Bad Luck", "We'll Be O.K.", "Existing In A Crisis (Evelyn)", "Don't Call Me Peanut", "Half A Life", and "Dear Tragedy".
Then tragedy struck.
On the first night of the Never Sleep Again Tour with label-mates Hawthorne Heights, Aiden, and Silverstein, the band was in a tragic van accident, which left Anthony and Jack slightly hurt, Nick seriously injured, and caused the death of John.
Anthony and Jack decided to re-embark on the tour, and do the remainder of their sets acoustic.
This led to the release of their 3rd full-length album, "Bayside Acoustic", in 2006, which consists of 10 tracks. A new acoustic song in memory of John "Beatz", entitled "Winter"; five acoustic versions of their older songs:"Blame It On Bad Luck","They Looked Like Strong Hands","Masterpiece", "Montauk", and "Devotion And Desire". One live track,"Don't Call Me Peanut". An all-new non-acoustic song, "Paternal Reversal".And two cover songs. One of The Smoking Popes' "Megan", and a cover of Elliott Smith's "Baby Britain". The album also includes a live DVD of the final show of the tour, at the House Of Blues in Chicago, Illinois.
The band released their fourth full-length album, "The Walking Wounded" on February 6th, 2007 on Victory Records. The first single off the album is entitled "Duality", for which they have a music video. The album also features the tracks "The Walking Wounded", "They're Not Horses, They're Unicorns","Carry On", I & I", "Choice Hops and Bottled Self-Esteem", "Head On A Plate", "Dear Your Holiness", "Landing Feet First", "Thankfully","A Rite Of Passage", and "(POP)Ular SciencE".
Anthony has also begun an attempt at a solo career, touring with the Bombers, and performing with Vinny Caruana of I Am The Avalanche. A solo record hasn't been verified yet.
The band recently released a music video for the song "Carry On", that is exclusive to Myspace.
They have also set the date for a re-release of "The Walking Wounded" due out on July 22, 2008.
On September 30th, 2008, they released their 5th full-length studio album "Shudder". Also, their live CD "Bayside: Live At the Bayside Social Club" was released on the same day. It was recorded on August 17th, 2008 at S.I.R. Studios in New York, where a few lucky fans from the Bayside Social Club were given the chance to attend the private show.

Bayside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I spiked your cup with angst and a heart attack,
'Cause I've got so much trapped and it's all because of you
So I figured you might like some back
But when I see her I'll tell her what's been on my mind all these sleepless night
She'll recite her excuses I'll put my tail between these legs of mine like I do all the time
I know what goes on behind my back,
Every night I'm afraid I'll never leave,
Afraid I'll never know what's good for me
But when I see her I'll tell her what's been on my mind all these sleepless night
She'll recite her excuses I'll put my tail between these legs of mine like I do all the time
And now you say that,
You say you love me
Well I may have your heart, but he has your body
And now you swear that you're being honest,
But you're not honest, you never could be
But when I see her I'll tell her what's been on my mind all these sleepless night
She'll recite her excuses I'll put my tail between these legs of mine like I do all the time
The opening lines of "Drink up beautiful, I spiked your cup with angst and a heart attack, 'Cause I've got so much trapped and it's all because of you/So I figured you might like some back" in Bayside's "Don't Call Me Peanut" is a reference to a toxic relationship. The singer has been bottling up feelings for so long because of their partner, and now they have decided to turn the tables and give their partner a taste of their own medicine. However, this approach is not helpful, and the singer knows that it's not the right solution for their problems. The lyrics are a representation of the pain and frustration that comes with feeling trapped in an unhealthy relationship.
The next segment of the song brings up another issue, where the singer experiences sleepless nights, knowing that their partner is with someone else. "I can't live my life knowing you'll be in his arms each time I blink my eyes/I know what goes on behind my back, every night I'm afraid I'll never leave, afraid I'll never know what's good for me." This shows how the singer is dealing with insecurity, and struggles with seeing their partner with someone else. It is clear that the relationship is causing emotional harm to the singer, and they don't know how to break free and move on. They want to be honest and confront their partner, but they keep falling back into old patterns.
The final lines "And now you say that, you say you love me/Well, I may have your heart, but he has your body/And now you swear that you're being honest, but you're not honest, you never could be," show the singer's desperation and their need for closure. They are trying to come to terms with their partner's infidelity, and their inability to be honest. They know that their partner will never be truthful, yet they still can't find the strength to leave.
Line by Line Meaning
Drink up beautiful
I am manipulating you emotionally to drink the spiked drink
I spiked your cup with angst and a heart attack
The drink I gave you is meant to make you feel anxious and overwhelmed by emotions
'Cause I've got so much trapped and it's all because of you
I am blaming you for my emotional turmoil
So I figured you might like some back
I am projecting my pain onto you and hoping you feel the same way I do
But when I see her I'll tell her what's been on my mind all these sleepless night
I am planning to confront the person who is causing me pain and express my feelings
She'll recite her excuses I'll put my tail between these legs of mine like I do all the time
Even though I know I will cave in and forgive her, I will still express my hurt and frustration
I can't live my life knowing you'll be in his arms each time I blink my eyes
The thought of you being with someone else makes me constantly anxious and unhappy
I know what goes on behind my back
I am aware of the lies and betrayal happening without my knowledge
Every night I'm afraid I'll never leave
I feel trapped and helpless in this situation
Afraid I'll never know what's good for me
I am uncertain about what I truly want and what is best for my own well-being
And now you say that,
You, the person causing me pain, are trying to convince me of your love
You say you love me
You are manipulating me by making me doubt your true feelings
Well I may have your heart, but he has your body
I am aware that you are physically involved with someone else
And now you swear that you're being honest,
You are attempting to regain my trust by promising to be truthful
But you're not honest, you never could be
I do not believe your promises, as you have previously lied to me
But when I see her I'll tell her what's been on my mind all these sleepless night
I plan to confront and express my feelings to both you and the person you are with

"You say that you love me. Well I may have your heart; he has your body." One of my favorite lines ever. I love this song so much.
chloe kincade
My favorite lyric from this song. This is why I love looking at comments of my favorite songs on youtube. I always find someone, anyone in the world who feels the same way that I do. I hope you are doing okay in your life. <3
Zack Pangey
Like I said I too love this song and that line too :)
Zack Pangey
OMG dude. That line and the whole song really hit me in the feels because I relate to this song too well. I been through shit like that too many damn times. Definitely applies to me and my life. How perfect and fitting fr. My BM is currently fucking someone else she's been digging for a while. She fucked me a few times like a month ago and now she just wants to be friends again. I was making a lil progress with her again or so I thought. Then suddenly she pulled the rug from under me and friend zoned me like I said. And a lot of the song is how I feel about her now. This song always hit me in the fields but now that it applies to me right now it really hit different. LOVE THIS SONG AND THIS BAND, SO MUCH!!!!!
