The group was founded in 1993 in Denton, Texas by students Todd and Toby Pipes, Kirk Tatum, and John Kirtland.

In 1996, Breakfast at Tiffany's, which referenced the classic Audrey Hepburn film of the same name, reached the top five in the U.S. and number one in the United Kingdom.

There was conjecture that the band took so much time off between Home and Deep Blue Something in order to fight US centered copyright issues related to their initial album, 11th Song, which they believed to be of lower quality than their name deserved. The 7 year hiatus between albums is believed to be partially responsible for their failure to succeed in the US with their self-titled release.

The band returned in 2015 to release new music for the first time since 2001. This EP was titled Locust House.

John Kirtland is now running a successful independent record label called Kirtland Records. Based out of Dallas, Texas and Los Angeles, California, Kirtland's shrewd business dealings led to his ownership of the back-catalog of superstar band, Bush and royalty rights on the sales of certain albums by No Doubt. After selling off his rights to the No Doubt material, Bush remains on the Kirtland label along with successful indies like Bril and the Burden Brothers.

She'll Go To Pieces
Deep Blue Something Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She won't take no for an answer
And I feel obliged
To at least waste some time

And I've got nothing to gain by it
And we all may shackle together by this

CHORUS:

She'll go to pieces
When she hears that I told you
But I'm coming unglued
So I told you the deal

And I've got nothing to gain by it
And we all may shackle together by this

Please don't take this the wrong way
But I half think that you and I look good

And I've got nothing to gain by it
And we all may shackle together by this

CHORUS

And I've got nothing to gain by it

And we all may shackle together by this
Yeah

Overall Meaning

In "She'll Go to Pieces" by Deep Blue Something, the singer is torn between two conflicting feelings. He is being pursued by someone he feels obliged to spend time with, even though he has nothing to gain from it. However, he also finds himself attracted to the listener but recognizes that telling them about his situation with the other person will cause the woman pursuing him to "go to pieces." He confesses his struggle and admits that he is coming unglued. In the end, he implores the listener not to take his words the wrong way but hints that the two of them may look good together.

The lyrics can be interpreted as an introspective look at the idea of obligation versus desire. The singer acknowledges that he is wasting his own time with someone he knows he has no future with, but still feels compelled to stick around. Meanwhile, he is attracted to someone else but is wary of disrupting the status quo, even though it is causing him mental and emotional strain.

Overall, the song tackles the complex issue of interpersonal relationships and the difficulty of navigating conflicting emotions.

Line by Line Meaning

She won't take no for an answer
She is persistent and won't accept rejection

And I feel obliged
I feel obligated to listen to her

To at least waste some time
I don't particularly want to, but I'll give her some attention

And we all may shackle together by this
Our shared experience may bind us together

She'll go to pieces
She will fall apart emotionally

When she hears that I told you
When she finds out that I shared information about her

But I'm coming unglued
I am starting to lose control and need to confide in someone

So I told you the deal
Thus, I revealed what's going on

Please don't take this the wrong way
I hope you won't misinterpret what I'm about to say

But I half think that you and I look good
I think we could be a good match
