Though the band is pinned as producing the same kind of indie rock aesthetic à la My Morning Jacket and Band of Horses, Dead Confederate dabbles in darker shades than their compared predecessors. From the raspy, unrestrained shrieks of "The Rat" and the psychedelic guitar wail on the vivid "Tortured Artist Saint" to the intimate acoustic layers of "Memorial Day Night," Dead Conferdate echo the Drive-By Truckers' bittersweet southern rock angst with the smoke-heavy swagger of the Black Angels. Although southern Civil War soldiers may remain six feet under, Dead Confederate's sincere versatility drives home that rock'n'roll is damn well alive and kicking.

Get Out
Dead Confederate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've taken what I need, shut the door when I leave
And what? What's in store for me?
Gonna listen and not preach
It will be erased, all mistakes are out
Get out...
Now I sit back and I watch, watch the sneak attack
I could've warned them of the plan, but what fun would that leave for men?
Gonna run until we fall
It will be erased, all mistakes are out

My job is done and I was helped by no one
I have accomplished what I set out to do without needing anyone's help
I've taken what I need, shut the door when I leave
I have acquired all that is necessary and will now depart, closing the door on my way out
And what? What's in store for me?
What awaits me in the future?
Gonna listen and not preach
I will be attentive rather than headstrong in my approach
It will be erased, all mistakes are out
All errors and mishaps will be undone or forgotten
Get out...
Depart immediately
Now I sit back and I watch, watch the sneak attack
I am now an observer, witnessing an ambush or surprise attack
I could've warned them of the plan, but what fun would that leave for men?
I had the chance to alert them of the scheme, but decided against it as it would ruin the excitement
And what? What's in store for us all?
What is forthcoming for everyone involved?
Gonna run until we fall
We will continue forward until we can no longer
It will be erased, all mistakes are out
All errors and mishaps will be undone or forgotten
Get out
Depart immediately

this is a band I'd love to see live. the songs are on the depressing side, but in a really, really good way. very much reminded of Silverchair, Modest Mouse, Placebo, etc. strange mix of sounds.

I saw this band live in Park City, Utah during Sundance back in 2010. I have really liked them ever since. I wish they would have done more music.
