The name came from a German trademark of drawing material, which was of great influence in the life of the band members.
In 2007, they released their debut album, Big Deal, on the label Monstro Discos. After the album release, the band toured Brazil. In the same year, they opened for Nashville Pussy, their idols, which became a frequent tradition. The band had already played side-by-side with bands like The Datsuns, Motörhead and Eagles of Death Metal.
In 2009, Black Drawing Chalks released their second album, Life Is A Big Holiday For Us, again with the Monstro Discos label, after a tour in Canada, where they played on Canadian Music Week.
With frequent media exposition, long tours and playing in big Brazilian festivals, the band got three VMB09 (Video Music Brazil 2009) nominations, in the categories Aposta MTV (MTV Prospect), Rock Alternativo (Alternative Rock) and Videoclipe do Ano (Best Music Video), with the song My Favorite Way.
Big Deal
Black Drawing Chalks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you walk, when you feel
It´s not a big deal
When you talk, when you´re still
It´s not a big deal
When you break it, when you make it
Got to be and look away
It´s not good to remake
Oh yeah! My crazy thoughts are burning
I saw you dancing on the otherside
Oh silly girl! You was a party to play
I saw you dancing on the otherside
It´s not a big deal
When you walk, when you feel
It´s not a big deal
When you talk, when you stay
Got to be and look away
It´s not good to remake
Turn up the madness on the room
And let me see that fucking smile
The blood is getting burn!
I feel something wrong
And we could not even try
It´s not good to remake
Hold you! I´m not so bad, but I can hold you!
The opening lines of Black Drawing Chalks' song "Big Deal" immediately suggest an underlying message of nonchalance and indifference. The repetition of the phrase "It's not a big deal" emphasizes the message, and implies that the actions being described are insignificant enough to not warrant attention. The rest of the verses focus on describing said actions, such as walking, talking, breaking, and making. The lyric "got to be and look away" reinforces the idea that these actions should be ignored or not given much thought.
However, the chorus and bridge of the song add more depth to the lyrics. The lines "My crazy thoughts are burning" and "I feel something wrong" convey a sense of frustration or unease that the earlier nonchalant lyrics may have tried to cover up. Additionally, the imagery of "turning up the madness in the room" and "letting me see that fucking smile" hints at a desire for intensity or passion that is missing from the other actions described. Overall, "Big Deal" appears to be a song about pretending to not care, but failing to fully convince oneself.
