Along with King, who hails from Michigan, the band includes two Californians, guitarist Cake and bassist Dave 'D-Dubs' Wadsworth, who hooked up while Cake was producing tracks for Wadsworth's former band, Dimestore Hoods. King, 'fresh off the boat' from the Midwest, met his band mates in 1996 at a rehearsal studio in Los Angeles. Even Rude's drummer, Ric Roccapriore is a native of New England who joined the band almost immediately after arriving in L.A. in the fall of 1999.
The band has been embraced by the extreme sports community, having played live at both the X-Games and the Gravity Games. Even Rude's songs have been featured on the Gravity Games Summer Two Thrills and Spills video, Board Wild on the Surf channel, Blue Torch on Fox Sports and the Extreme Freestyle Moto-X Challenge. TV, videos and the Internet are all bringing the band's grinding, crunching, grooved-based alternative rock called 'bump' to fans across the nation.
Anyway
Even Rude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anyway, anyway...been too long
I only need when there's something wrong
so anyway, anyway...moving on
I would have called you, but there's nothing left to say
I know you saw me, but you kept walking the other way
So we both hate me, I'm just memories in your hair.
C
I've been so angry, on my own and in the red
I'm feeling better, so I'm putting this agony to bed.
I shouldn't be here, we look the same but I don't fit.
I envy that baby, who died instead of live with your shit.
C
You never call me. I guess you have all that you need.
Second hand information is building you whole new me.
I hold grudges, like everyone you mock when they tried
a full grown child, living to be crucified.
Have you ever let someone in,
Taken the chance to let yourself rely on them.
And in the end you thought, "I'm never gonna try again."
Cause you thought being fam-i-ly should make you friends.
C
Change my life again, change my life again,
change my life again, change my life again cause
Something¹s wrong, something¹s wrong,
something¹s wrong, something¹s wrong
The lyrics to Even Rude's song "Anyway" appear to convey a sense of acceptance and moving forward despite past pain and disappointment. The repeated refrain of "Anyway, anyway... moving on" suggests a determination to let go of negativity and continue with life's journey. The singer reflects on the realization that they only seem to reach out for support or connection when things are going wrong, implying a sense of loneliness or isolation in times of struggle.
The verses delve into a complicated relationship dynamic, with the singer acknowledging a failed attempt to reach out to someone, but feeling rebuffed and ultimately realizing that they may have been forgotten by the other person. There is a sense of resignation in the acknowledgment that both parties harbor feelings of resentment and bitterness towards each other, with the singer keenly aware of the impact they had on the other person despite now being just a memory to them.
The chorus reveals a deep-seated anger and emotional turmoil that the singer has been grappling with, expressing a desire to move past the agony and frustration they have been experiencing. There is a juxtaposition of feeling out of place and disconnected, envying the release of someone who has passed away rather than continue enduring a toxic relationship. The lyrics touch upon the themes of self-worth and breaking free from toxic environments.
The bridge introduces a contemplative moment, questioning the nature of relationships and the pain of feeling betrayed or let down by those one trusts. There is a sense of disappointment in the idea that familial connections should automatically equate to friendship, and the frustration of holding onto grudges and past hurts. The repeated plea for a change in life hints at a desire for renewal and transformation, acknowledging that something feels inherently wrong and seeking a way to address and overcome it.

Have you ever let someone in,
Have you ever allowed yourself to be vulnerable with another person
Taken the chance to let yourself rely on them.
Taking the risk of depending on someone for support
And in the end you thought, 'I'm never gonna try again.'
After being hurt, you decide to never take that risk again
Cause you thought being family should make you friends.
You believed that being related should automatically create a close bond
Change my life again, change my life again,
I am seeking a fresh start, a new beginning
Something's wrong, something's wrong,
There are evident issues that need to be addressed
