The band members can now cop their own forties. They’ve self-released 7-inches and have toured with comparable bands such as The Casualties and The Unseen. They have quickly risen through the ranks of the US street punk scene. Along the way, they’ve built a loyal fan base of kids who have been itching for more Clit 45. After having just inked a deal with LA’s BYO Records, they’ve recorded their first official long player, “Self-Hate Crimes,” released on April 19, 2005. The album delivers everything dangerous and exciting about youth. Take, for example, the lead track, “Can’t Stop the Bleeding”, which clocks in at just over a minute and a half and delivers a sharp blow to the ears. Lead vocalist Dave shouts with a venomous passion as he’s backed solidly by his longtime companion on the guitar, Mike. Tucked in the rhythm section to tie the sounds up is longtime A Global Threat drummer, Mike. It’s easy to dismiss this noise as just that, but you’ll catch yourself chanting to yourself the hook to the song “Cut me cut slice slice kill I'm a used rolled dollar bill”.
Clit 45, as of Dec. 2006, has gone on "indefinite hiatus", citing the need for a break from the band and each other. This frees them up to do various musical and non-musical projects, which they may or may not keep the public informed about.
To quote the band: "Let me clarify, we are not breaking up."
Clit 45 announced that they had disbanded on Christmas Day, 2007 via their MySpace page, so they basically lied. Their reason for breaking up is because they all became worthless drug addicts.
The Storm Is Over
Clit 45 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Putting hope in my head
Put all trust in one thing
Only ends in tragedy
The storm it's over
At least for today
The storm is over
I'm not good at living life
I'm not good I have no pride
But feeling doesn't make you weak
When passion is what makes you breathe
The storm it's over
At least for today
The storm is over
I'm still afraid
Evict these thoughts from this hollow wooden head
Post no bills, this heart has been condemned
It drains my red, so kill me dead
To scream and no one hears
Just more noise for blown out ears
So let the record spin as the needle skips again
The storm it's over
At least for today
The storm is over
It's gone away
Lost my love, I lost my life
In a long walk home which I despised
Grey skies I close my eyes
We only sleep when its bright
The storm it's over
At least for today
The storm is over
It's gone away
But in theses darkened days we'll be okay
In these dark days we'll be ok
The lyrics of Clit 45's "The Storm Is Over" express themes of heartbreak, loss, and fear. The opening lines allude to giving one's heart to another, indicating a deep emotional investment in a relationship. However, the singer soon acknowledges that putting all trust in one person only leads to tragedy. The storm metaphor is used throughout the song, and the chorus repeats the phrase "The storm is over" while affirming that the singer is still afraid despite the turmoil having subsided.
The second verse presents a picture of inner turmoil, with the singer admitting to not being good at living life or having pride. These personal struggles are juxtaposed with the idea that passion is what makes one breathe, despite feeling weak at times. These internal struggles seem to stem from a place of heartbreak, with the lyrics indicating the loss of love and life, and a long walk home that was despised. The bridge's lyrics reveal a sense of desperation, with the singer wondering if anyone hears their screams and acknowledging that the record still spins despite the chaos in their life.
Overall, "The Storm Is Over" is a poignant exploration of relationships, loss, and emotional turmoil. The song's repetitive chorus suggests an ongoing struggle and the continued existence of fear, even in the aftermath of chaos.

"Give me your heart" that's what she said
She requested my love, but I'm apprehensive
Putting hope in my head
Filling me with faith
Put all trust in one thing
Believe in something wholeheartedly
Only ends in tragedy
Ultimately leads to an unfortunate situation
The storm it's over
Troubled times have subsided
At least for today
Although only temporarily
I'm still afraid
I'm still apprehensive
I'm not good at living life
I struggle with leading a fulfilling life
I'm not good I have no pride
I lack confidence and self-worth
But feeling doesn't make you weak
Emotions do not equate to weakness
When passion is what makes you breathe
Passion is what gives you purpose
Evict these thoughts from this hollow wooden head
Clear my mind of empty, meaningless thoughts
Post no bills, this heart has been condemned
My heart is broken beyond repair
It drains my red, so kill me dead
It sucks the life out of me, I'd rather die
To scream and no one hears
To express my pain but not receive any support
Just more noise for blown out ears
Adding to the existing chaos
So let the record spin as the needle skips again
Allow the music to play despite its imperfections
Lost my love, I lost my life
I have lost my significant other and my purpose
In a long walk home which I despised
A journey back home that I loathed
Grey skies I close my eyes
I shut my eyes to avoid the dreariness of life
We only sleep when its bright
We can only rest peacefully when there is brightness in our lives
But in theses darkened days we'll be okay
Despite the hardship, we will persevere
In these dark days we'll be ok
We will overcome the darkness
