Adultery was released in 2006 through Rotten Records, as their 6th studio album (5th, if you don't include the extremely limited release of Erotic Massage and their live album, The City is Alive Tonight). Baltimore’s Dog Fashion Disco call it “Movie Metal” and have not only outdone themselves, but have created a concept record to fold, spindle, and mutilate all of the aural senses. Adultery delves into the life of an ordinary suburban family man and walks you through his folding to his own dark demons. Lock Quentin Tarantino, Charles Bukowski and Humphrey Bogart in a room with guitars, drums and a few bottles of Absinthe and what you would find closely resembles the genius of Adultery.
Dog Fashion Disco released a statement on their myspace on the 5th Of December 2006, stating that they were calling the end of their run. Their "final" show was played on January 13, 2007, although since then they have "reunited" on multiple occasions for Polkadot Cadaver shows to play some songs.
Todd Smith, Jasan Stepp and John Ensminger of Dog Fashion Disco moved onto their project Polkadot Cadaver, and have released one album and have another one in the works thus far. The style of Polkadot Cadaver is similar to DFD in many ways.
In 2014, DFD decided that being broken up was dumb, and started an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for a new album. The fans ponied up in a big way, and the band raised just over $85,000. With that amount of money being raised, DFD are able to record 2 albums, make a big budget video, and do a small tour of the U.K., for the first time in a long while. The new album, Sweet Nothings, is being released July 22nd, 2014 via Rotten Records.
Their latest album is 'Experiments in Embryos', released July 7th, 2018, through RazorToWrist is available through the Apple music, Spotify, Amazon, and iTunes.
Sweet Insanity
Dog Fashion Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Twisting and turning en utero
I'm out of my body and swimming through you
A nightmarish dream like a maze
From the rolling hills of suicide
Everyone will run and hide
Screaming bloody murder with their heads on fire
My sweet insanity
If you would take me with you on your trip to the moon
Disfigured faces in technicolor
Like roses on the deathbed of your dying mother
As the seasons grow into the angriest people
Sadistic and slightly deranged
From the rolling hills of suicide
Everyone will run and hide
Screaming bloody murder with their heads on fire
There just may be a chance for me
My sweet insanity
If you would take me with you on your trip to the moon
Oh your wicked smile
Oh your evil ways
Won't convince me that the sky isn't falling down
My sweet insanity
Look what we've become
The envy of everyone
Inspired by your madness
Like furious wind in a storm
Slowly growing cold
I'm falling in love with you
From the rolling hills of suicide
Everyone will run and hide
Screaming bloody murder with their heads on fire
There just may be a chance for me
My sweet insanity
If you would take me with you on your trip to the moon
The lyrics of Dog Fashion Disco's "Sweet Insanity" depicts a surreal and nightmarish world where the singer is convulsing to the violent rhythm of their own insanity. The song conveys a sense of a twisted reality, where the world is a maze, and the seasons grow into angry, sadistic people. The singer is out of their body, perhaps through the abandonment of reality, and swimming through this nightmarish dream world. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where disfigured faces are technicolor and roses grow on the deathbed of the singer's dying mother. The theme of the song is the singer's madness, and how they become inspired by it.
The song suggests that the singer may have a chance to escape this madness if they can go on a trip to the moon with someone who will take them. However, the tone changes as the singer slowly becomes infatuated with the madness in their mind, falling "in love" with it. The lyrics suggest that they are becoming "the envy of everyone" and are "inspired by...madness". Overall, the song portrays a twisted and surreal interpretation of madness, depicting a world where nothing is what it seems and even death seems like an abstract concept.
Line by Line Meaning
Convulsing to your violent rhythm
Moving and shaking to the way you move harshly and aggressively
Twisting and turning en utero
Moving and contorting in the womb
I'm out of my body and swimming through you
Feeling detached from reality and engrossed in the experience of being with you
A nightmarish dream like a maze
This experience feels like a confusing and unnerving dream
From the rolling hills of suicide
From a place of despair and hopelessness
Everyone will run and hide
Everyone will be afraid and try to avoid this situation
Screaming bloody murder with their heads on fire
Reacting to this situation with extreme panic and hysteria
There just may be a chance for me
Despite the chaos, I still believe there is hope for me and us
My sweet insanity
I find comfort in the madness of our situation
If you would take me with you on your trip to the moon
If you would take me on this wild and crazy journey with you
Disfigured faces in technicolor
Faces that are warped and twisted, almost like they're in a surreal, technicolor film
Like roses on the deathbed of your dying mother
A metaphor for death and decay
As the seasons grow into the angriest people
The passage of time only seems to make people more hostile and resentful
Sadistic and slightly deranged
Having cruel and twisted tendencies, but only to a small degree
Oh your wicked smile
Your mischievous grin
Oh your evil ways
Your immoral and malevolent actions
Won't convince me that the sky isn't falling down
I still feel like everything is falling apart, despite your attempts at keeping everything together
Look what we've become
Taking stock of our situation and how we've changed each other
The envy of everyone
Others are jealous of us and our wild, unconventional relationship
Inspired by your madness
Your craziness motivates and drives me
Like furious wind in a storm
Moving and changing quickly and unpredictably, like a severe weather event
Slowly growing cold
Becoming less passionate and invested in our relationship
I'm falling in love with you
Despite everything, I'm still deeply in love with you
