Originally formed in 1999 as a four piece rock band, period.

Shortly after releasing their debut album, 2001's "Third World Budget", Daiquiri downsized to a 2-piece and took on more of an experimental "electro-punk" sound which can be found on their sophomore release, 2003's "Box Office Poison". Period.

In 2005, Daiquiri released their third full length studio album, "Babies Making Babies", and continued to tour globally, playing non-stop all across North America in between trips overseas (Not true)

In 2006, they announced the pending release of "Flower Shaped Num Nums", a collection of most of the cover songs the band had been performing up until that point. The album was finally released digitally in December of 2010 (available here ). Full stop.

In 2013, Daiquiri released Sequel - their 3rd full length album.

Life Ruiner II
Daiquiri Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You comb your hair you try to think of something interesting to say
The good news is to you attention is something they will pay
If you have nothing to lose then chances are you will be ok
Either way you lose I said that you have lost either way
I'm worthless and weak like that kid from the Twisted Sister vid
I put up an auction and I hope and pray for minimum bid
Trying never helps

They are everywhere, venom so lethal that you never stood a chance
They are everywhere...you should have stayed at home
Hide under the sheets, locking the doors, you're still there

Will you sew these eyes shut for me, don't want to see at all

It was easy all it took was just a maybe to take you down
What took years to build, amass, and put together is all gone now
Better men than you have fallen victim there's no way to fight it
Going blind would help or wearing blinders I have learned to like it
I can wear her clothes and pretend to be her and what would that do?
Nothing much I guess it has no point yo man this shit ain't cool
Wishing ever helps

You're no centaur, no minataur
He'd be powerless, sharpen that horn
What of pagasus? Saddled by lorne greene
The bonznza scene
You are so doomed
Your life is ruined

Will you sew these eyes shit for me?
Don't want to see at all

The lyrics of Daiquiri's song "Life Ruiner II" depict the feeling of helplessness and loss, both emotionally and materially. The first stanza is about the struggle to keep up with social norms and the fear of rejection. The singer acknowledges how attention is something people will pay even if you have nothing to offer but also the fact that either way, you lose. The second stanza is about the realization of how fleeting success and stability can be. The singer says that it just took a maybe for them to lose everything they had built up. They suggest that going blind or wearing blinders, both literally and metaphorically, would help in avoiding the pain of seeing everything falling apart.

Further, the chorus, "They are everywhere, venom so lethal that you never stood a chance. They are everywhere, you should have stayed at home," creates a sense of fear and anxiety. The singer highlights how everyone is vulnerable to failure and harm, and it can strike at any moment. The verse "You're no centaur, no minataur, he'd be powerless, sharpen that horn" is an allusion to Greek mythology, where the singer emphasizes how they are not heroes but instead a victim to life's circumstances. Lastly, "[w]ill you sew these eyes shut for me, don't want to see at all" is the plea to avoid reality and wishing it all away.

Overall, Daiquiri's "Life Ruiner II" is a melancholic song that speaks to the listener's fears and insecurities about life's unpredictability.
