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.
The Romance Is Dead
Daiquiri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A hiding place for special friends
Everytime's the last time or closer to it
It's always growing but you can make it fit
No one will see
This is the new pornography
It's free
This won't last forever
It's done, oh well
It's the best night of your life
Won't erase it
I misplaced it
Has it been found?
Was it rewound?
So sick and full of shame
Serial something does it have a name?
Was a nice guy, what happened to that, now a total jerk
And I can't go back
Did good for two minutes there, it will pass by fast
I make good stuff go away, I can't make it last
The lyrics of Daiquiri's The Romance Is Dead give off an aura of regret and acceptance of consequences. The opening line, "Made the mistake once won't make it again," serves as a warning that the singer has learned from their past mistake(s), but this doesn't change the fact that they are still engaging in the same toxic behavior. They have a "hiding place for special friends," suggesting the existence of secrets, lies, and betrayal. Despite knowing that their current situation won't last, the singer finds comfort in its familiar growth, acknowledging that "you can make it fit."
However, it seems that the singer's inner turmoil stems from their past behavior. They describe themselves as being "so sick and full of shame" and wondering if being a "serial something" (liar, cheater, etc.) has a name. They acknowledge that they were once a "nice guy" but now feel like a "total jerk," knowing deep down that they can't go back to the way things were. The line "I make good stuff go away, I can't make it last" suggests a self-sabotaging behavior trait that has led to the destruction of meaningful connections.
Overall, The Romance Is Dead showcases the inner battle that comes with acknowledging one's mistakes and struggles with accepting the consequences. The singer accepts that their actions have led to the current state but continues to engage in the same behavior.
