Having complete independence from the industry and being powered from the beginning by the star brilliance of “Magic” Dave Mussen, the Distorted Penguins have become a household name in the east coast scene. Since Magic Dave’s tragic death in April of 2000, the remaining members of DP have adjusted their line-up in order to keep Dave's message alive. DP has combined power pop, rock, and a horn section to create an energetic and fast-paced style they have deemed “falling rock.”
With a countless number of performances at world-famous rock clubs, festivals, colleges, bars, nightclubs, and community centers, DP has worked feverishly to reach the masses. Because of their versatile style, they have performed with national acts the likes of Blues Traveler, 2 Skinnee J’s, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, N.E.R.D, Rahzel, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, Buzz Poets, Violent Femmes, Blue Oyster Cult, Blessid Union of Souls, My Weakday Night, and O.A.R, to name a few.
In the past few years DP has toured nationally as well as hitting regions of the east coast in order to gain new fans and promote their albums in 100% D.I.Y fashion. Keep it real!
Someone New
Distorted Penguins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Losing feelings that I had for this girl
Now it's time (now it's time) to see the whole world
Take a picture, what it's like, it's like a brand new day
Feeling lost with out a love, now it's not for me
Find a lady who can dot my I's and cross my T's
Got my memories but that shits not the same.....
It's not the same
All this time never ever seems to wanna go by
Waste away through April, May, June & July
Gotta a whole lot of lovin'
But not a lady friend to take it from me (take it from me)
I can't let all this lovin' go
All I need, All I want, All I ask for is a hot chick to dig on
She's a moving on, right on and that's no lie

He feels lost without love but realizes that he needs to find a lady who can fulfill his needs both physically and emotionally. Though he has his memories, he knows that they are not enough to replace his ex-girlfriend.

When it's late at night, and you're all alone
And you feel like you are on your own
Stormy weather, calm has never settled there
Think your weary life's beyond repair.
If you were blind I'd give you my eyes
Just so you could see one more sunrise
And maybe in that time you could understand.
When it's late at night, and you're all alone
And you feel like you are on your own
Stormy weather, calm has never settled there
Think your weary life's beyond repair.
If you were blind I'd give you my eyes
Just so you could see one more sunrise
And maybe in that time you could understand...
There is a place where ends finally meet
Floating up on Cloud Nine baby
There is a place where lost souls always greet
Floating up on Cloud Nine baby.
There is a place where ends finally meet
Floating up on Cloud Nine baby
There is a place where lost souls always greet
Floating up on Cloud Nine baby.
If only I could be more for you
I'm more than willing to
If you would open your heart to me and let go, let go, let go
There is a place where ends finally meet
Floating up on Cloud Nine baby
There is a place where lost souls always greet
Floating up on Cloud Nine baby.
There is a place where ends finally meet
Floating up on Cloud Nine baby
There is a place where lost souls always greet
Floating up on Cloud Nine baby. Cloud Nine Baby, Cloud Nine Baby
When it's late at night and your all alone and u feel like you are on, Your own.
