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.
Finding Another Road
Black Drawing Chalks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't take much time
Come down dirty woman
You don't wanna stay in line
Come back, I don't want it
This is gonna change my mind
Come back, I don't want it
Everybody needs some lies
We don't need to save my life
And I just don't need to live these things tonight
Find another road
Keep on rocking roll
Find another road
Like a rolling stone
The lyrics to Black Drawing Chalks' song Finding Another Road are open to interpretation, but they seem to portray a sense of restlessness and the desire for change. The singer is imploring someone, possibly a lover or a friend, to come back to them but at the same time, they state that they don't want it. This could suggest that they are tired of the status quo and want something new.
The second verse furthers this notion, with the singer urging the person to come down from their perch and not stay in line. The idea of breaking away from established norms and routines is highlighted again in the line "we don't need to save my life", which implies that the singer wants to break free from the constraints of their current situation.
The chorus plays on the themes of change and constant movement, with the repeated mantra of "find another road, keep on rocking roll, find another road, like a rolling stone". This reinforces the idea of shaking up the status quo and seeking new paths to follow.
Overall, the lyrics of Finding Another Road suggest a yearning for change and a refusal to remain stagnant in one's life.
