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.
Night Ruiner
Daiquiri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn around disappear really have to go
Make a line to the door tapping on my arm
Turn around blank faced
Everything is wrong
Maybe if I'd asked, I would blame myself
But I didn't ask, go bother someone else
Give you an inch, you take all night
Venus fly traps they catch prey the same as you
They show more compassion than you ever do
Holding on tight squeezing tight never loosen grip
Jaws that close jaws that work with or without lips
I spend too much time trying to pretend
Best to not engage, your wrath it knows no end
Scarier that STDs and easier to catch
Wrong place wrong time
All you need to contract trapped
Eye contact leaves you terrified
Living in terror
Terrified
The lyrics of Daiquiri’s “Night Ruiner” depict a situation in which the singer encounters someone they do not want to interact with. The opening stanza details the singer’s initial reaction to seeing this person - they want to disappear and distance themselves as quickly as possible. This person seems to be an unwelcome presence, and the singer refers to them as a “night ruiner” and a “parasite”. The second stanza reveals that the singer did not engage in conversation with this person and would rather blame themselves for their discomfort than give the other person the satisfaction of bothering them. The third and fourth stanzas use vivid imagery to compare this person to a Venus flytrap and emphasize the singer’s fear and anxiety when around them.
The lyrics of “Night Ruiner” seem to describe an encounter with someone who may be clingy or overbearing. The singer seems to feel trapped and helpless when around this person, and decides that the best course of action is to avoid them altogether. The use of imagery such as “jaws that close” and “living in terror” serve to amplify the sense of entrapment and unease that the singer feels. Ultimately, the lyrics seem to suggest that sometimes it is best to disengage from people who are not healthy or positive influences in our lives.

There it is, there he is, now I have to go
I see him and I need to leave this place immediately

I move towards the exit, impatiently waiting to get out
Turn around blank faced
I turn around with a blank expression
Everything is wrong
I don't feel right, everything is off

If I am nice to you, you will keep bothering me all night

Holding on tight squeezing tight never loosen grip
You hold on tight, even when asked to let go
Jaws that close jaws that work with or without lips
Your mouth is like a predator's jaws that work without lips
I spend too much time trying to pretend
I try to hide my emotions, but it's exhausting
Best to not engage, your wrath it knows no end
It's better that I don't talk to you, your anger never stops
Scarier that STDs and easier to catch
You are more terrifying than sexually transmitted diseases and easier to encounter
Wrong place wrong time
You show up at the wrong place and time
All you need to contract trapped
You only need to encounter you to feel trapped
Eye contact leaves you terrified
Making eye contact with you is scary
Living in terror
I'm living in fear because of you
Terrified
I'm terrified of you
