They have released an EP, Lemona, in 2003 and a debut album, Hearts and Unicorns, which was released in the United States on September 13, 2005, and February 27, 2006 in the UK.
Giant Drag played their first show on June 4, 2003 at the Scene in Los Angeles, eventually getting residencies at area clubs Silverlake Lounge and Spaceland.
Their song titles, which are known for their bluntness and black humour, include Kevin is Gay, High Friends in Places and YFLMD - an acronym for 'You Fuck Like My Dad'. Notable in their live performances are direct conversation with the audience and Hardy's erratic behavior.
Annie was voted 50th in NME Magazine's list of the 50 coolest people of 2005, and the magazine along with other members of the music press predicted their continued success in 2006.
On December 12th 2006, it was revealed that Micah Calabrese had left Giant Drag, and Annie Hardy would go it alone. The band split on good terms, and Hardy stated - "Micah never wanted to be in a band in the first place. He likes playing music and he likes recording but he never wanted to do this as a career. He had a real job before and he was making money".
Annie Hardy is well into writing for her second LP, though, and will still continue under the name Giant Drag. Although there are no new members to Giant Drag, she hinted on her MySpace page that there are possibilities - "whoever else feels like doing it" (joining the band).
New material from Giant Drag can be expected later in 2010.
Annie Hardy has been releasing new and old Giant Drag material via anniehardy.bandcamp.com in the form of "Twosies", which are basically mini-EP's. Release of the long awaited full length follow-up, "Waking Up Is Hard to Do" is still in the process of being released along with a possible limited live album on vinyl. As well Annie has started a side project, PNP.
Gain drag toured Europa in September 2013 and according to Hardy this is the last thing Gaint Drag will do.
My Dick Sux
Giant Drag Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
rushing to the kill
but only
I forgot one thing
I'll only lie
if I should die
don't make me try
oh I'm hot
bruised and sane with dirt
but you
drown me til I'm blue
my only lie
if I should die
don't make me cry
feeling meaningless
oh I feel for you
what I feel for you
I will run from you
and I will come for you
my only lie
if I should die
don't make me try
it burns meaningless
my love is meaningless
my life is meaningless
this all is meaningless
The song My Dick Sux by Giant Drag is a track that explores a toxic relationship. The lyrics detail the singer's feelings of frustration, helplessness, and anger towards a significant other who has taken advantage of them. The initial line "Oh I felt rushing to the kill but only I forgot one thing" suggests a feeling of wanting to hurt the other person as a result of being hurt themselves. However, the singer seems to acknowledge that in doing so, they would be lying to themselves and becoming just as guilty as their partner. It's clear that the relationship has already caused significant damage to the singer's mental health, as they describe themselves as "hot, bruised, and sane with dirt." The repetition of the phrase "my love is meaningless, my life is meaningless, this all is meaningless" drives home the point that the singer feels incredibly hopeless about their situation.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses their conflicting emotions towards their partner. They "feel for you what I feel for you" which could be interpreted as both affection and anger. The final lines of the song, "I will run from you and I will come for you," suggest that the singer cannot escape the relationship and that, despite everything, they will continue to pursue their partner.
Overall, the song My Dick Sux is a raw and emotional exploration of the complexities of abusive relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh I felt
I experienced a sensation
rushing to the kill
I felt a strong urge to do something
but only
However
I forgot one thing
I overlooked something
I'll only lie
I will deceive
if I should die
In the event of my death
don't make me try
Don't force me to attempt something
it burns meaningless
It causes me pain because it's pointless
oh I'm hot
I am feeling passionately
bruised and sane with dirt
I am injured and rational, covered in filth
but you
However, you
drown me til I'm blue
Suffocate me until I lose consciousness and turn blue
my only lie
The sole falsehood I tell
if I should die
If I were to pass away
don't make me cry
Please don't cause me to weep
feeling meaningless
Experiencing a lack of purpose
oh I feel for you
I have strong emotions towards you
what I feel for you
My feelings towards you
I will run from you
I will avoid you
and I will come for you
But at the same time, I will seek you out
my only lie
The only falsehood I tell
if I should die
If I were to pass away
don't make me try
Don't force me to attempt something
it burns meaningless
It causes me pain because it's pointless
my love is meaningless
My love does not have a purpose
my life is meaningless
My existence does not have significance
this all is meaningless
Everything is pointless
