[They] want to play music all year and meet cool people and make some money and not live with [their] parents. Anything you can do to help with those four things would be greatly appreciated. Especially the third one.

3 records (+1 in the works), nearly 500 shows in 40+ states in under 4 years. [They've] been everywhere, except for the places we're on our way to.

This is us:

Luke - Lead vocals, guitar, piano. Has successfully wrestled polar bears on two separate continents (yes, two!). Supposedly, has received his acceptance letter from Hogwarts, even though the school year has already started. Authenticity of letter has yet to be verified. Can maneuver a van and trailer in reverse faster than Jason Bourne in a Mini Cooper on a Parisian side street. Wins gold medals for outstanding facial hair. Once lost his cell phone 42 times in one day.

Marc- Drums, muscle. Has several tattoos that make him look cooler than everyone else in the band (not that it’s hard to do). Still has health insurance. When sporting a stache, he brings forth the ghost of Freddie Mercury. Voted “Most Likely To Not Fail At Life” by the other members in his band. Believes in and is afraid of "Cubicle Trolls". Expert on centaurs.

Robbe- Bass. Real into sleeping. Came in second place on Nickelodeon’s Global Guts after being blinded by a glitter storm (aka snow blizzard) and hitting his opponent’s actuator at the top of the Super Aggro Crag. Still has a crush on Mo, the referee. Secretly wants to be a speed-cuber (someone who can do a Rubik's cube in like 15 seconds). Will never have an actual girlfriend because of that last sentence. Has a pretty good vertical jump.

Rabbit- Lead guitar, mandolin, background vocals. Good at everything, especially eating candy and drinking Mountain Dew. Can impersonate Nicholas Cage better than Nicholas Cage can impersonate himself or anyone else for that matter. Can also accurately identify almost any make and type of ink pens while blindfolded (this is not a joke). Has great posture.

Out For Blood
Farewell Flight Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just want to be alive
And I don't want to be alone
I just want to be in love
And I just want to come home

Standing one a slippery slope
And baby it's a long way down
My heart sinks as it loses all hope

My body crumbles when it hits the ground

If I was out for blood I couldn't get filled up
If I was out for sex I'd never leave my bed
If I was out for drugs, couldn't get high enough
But I'm out for love, baby it's all I want, you're all I want

I don't want to be down
I just want to go out
Yeah, I just need a real hot date with a cute young thing
Don't need another Friday night in front of the TV

I gotta stop this and do it again
I gotta break my habits and make some friends
I gotta pick myself up off the floor
I gotta swim real hard and reach the shore

If I was out for blood I couldn't get filled up
If I was out for sex I'd never leave my bed
If I was out for drugs, couldn't get high enough
But I'm out for love, baby it's all I want

If I was out for blood I couldn't get filled up
If I was out for sex I'd never leave my bed
If I was out for drugs, couldn't get high enough, oh no

If I was out for blood I couldn't get filled up
If I was out for sex I'd never leave my bed

If I was out for drugs, couldn't get high enough, oh no
But I'm out for love, baby it's all I want, oh you're all I want

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Farewell Flight's song Out For Blood depict a sense of desperation and longing for love, companionship, and fulfillment. The singer expresses a desire to be alive, loved, and to have a home to come back to. But the realization of standing on a slippery slope, losing all hope, and hitting rock bottom undermines this wishful thinking, making the singer crave for something more significant.

The chorus expresses the singer's predicament of needing love and affection so badly that it fills the void that no other substance could satisfy. The lines "If I was out for blood I couldn't get filled up, If I was out for sex I'd never leave my bed, If I was out for drugs, couldn't get high enough" imply that the singer is searching for some sort of satisfaction but realizes that it is only love that can quench that thirst.

The final verse shows determination and an attempt to better oneself for the sake of finding love. The lines "I gotta stop this and do it again, I gotta break my habits and make some friends, I gotta pick myself up off the floor, I gotta swim real hard and reach the shore" indicate the singer's realization that to find love, they need to improve themselves, break out of their comfort zone, and be willing to take risks.
