1) Ceremony is a hardcore punk band from Rohnert Park, California, formed in 2005. The band features Ross Farrar (vocals), Anthony Anzaldo (guitar), Justin Davis (bass), Andy Nelson (guitar), and Jake Casarotti (drums). In 2005, the band released the EP, Ruined on Malfunction Records. This release was followed by their critically acclaimed first full-length album, Violence Violence, which included a re-recorded version of the Ruined EP. 2008 saw the release of Still Nothing Moves You, the band's first release on Bridge 9 Records, described by Keith Carman in Exclaim! magazine as "hardcore's equivalent of Hiroshima", which placed on Billboard's Top Internet and Top Heatseekers charts in August 2008. After touring all around the world[citation needed] with bands including Blacklisted, Converge, and AFI, they have released new music, including their third full-length album Rohnert Park in 2010. In 2011, the band confirmed they had signed with Matador Records, and their final Bridge 9 release would be a covers-only EP, featuring the band's take on songs by Urban Waste, Pixies, Crisis, Eddie and the Subtitles, Vile and Wire.
In March 2012, the band released the album Zoo on Matador Records which was a departure from the harder style even more so than the Rohnert Park album was, with the new record focusing on a more pre-hardcore punk sound in the style of Wire's Pink Flag (1977) album.[10][11]
On May 19, 2015, they released their second album on Matador, titled The L-Shaped Man.[12] This record saw them move even further into the post-punk realm with many comparing the album's sound to that of Joy Division.
Their sixth album, In the Spirit World Now, was released through Relapse Records on August 23, 2019

Ceremony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lost you tonight
Neverything I said just didn\'t come out right
Now you now
I'm lost and so cold
I always thought i\'d be with you when we were old
You always thought i\'d let you down
I'll be the one that makes you cry today
that takes your dreams away
I'll be the one that always lets you down
You\'ll be the one that leaves me in this town
After everything i\'ve done to you \
You can still be nice to me
And i am to you
When you look at me like you still want to care
With everything I think never share
You always thought i\'d let you down
I'll be the one that makes you cry today
I'll be the one that takes your dream away
I'll be the one that always lets you down
You\'ll be the one that leaves me in this town
"Ceremony's Breaking Up" is a melancholic song about a relationship going south. The lyrics describe the interaction between two people who have grown apart, with one person acknowledging that they are the one causing the pain in the relationship. The singer is lost and cold, lamenting that everything they say comes out wrong. They express regret that their partner thought they would let them down and is now leaving them, whereas the singer always thought they would be together in old age.
Despite the hurt and heartache they've caused, the other person can still be nice to them, and the singer is grateful for that, yet they know that their dreams together will never come to fruition. The song's overall feeling is one of regret and sadness at the end of a relationship.
The lyrics are straightforward and don't use any metaphorical language or poetic devices, making it a simple yet relatable song that speaks to those who have been in similar situations.
