The band released Only a Suggestion on Teepee Records in 2002. In 2004 they signed to Dutch label Suburban Records (to date they have been more successful in Europe than North America) and released Dare I Say without Mike Callahan or Steve Earle, the latter replaced by new drummer Chris Leathers (Supafuzz). They have since recruited additional vocalist Aleah X (Banger, Devil May Care, Candy Says).
Exam Room
Hermano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To go drown in your tears
And the little hand's slower
Than the big hand, honey
With your heart up high
You keep asking why, oh why
Don't you know, don't you know
Feel that hole
I know what it feels like, baby
If only you and I were one
I know what you're asking for, honey
This thing we're going through ain't no fun
Now you got 40 more years
To go drown in your tears
And the little hand's slower
Than the big hand, honey
With your heart up high
You keep asking why, oh why
Don't you know, don't you know
That the answer's in your home
Feel the hole
Just too soon
I know you know about it
Some nights are hard to see
What about the love we had together, honey
We're only friends and that's not me
Now you've got 40 more years
To go drown in your tears
And the little hand's slower
Than the big hand, honey
With your heart up high
You keep asking why, oh why
Don't you know, don't you know
That the answer's in your home
Feel the hole
Now you've got 40 more years
To go drown in your tears
And the little hand's slower
Than the big hand, honey
With your heart up high
You keep asking why, oh why
Don't you know, don't you know
That the answer's in your home
Now you've got 40 more years
To go drown in your tears
And the little hand's slower
Than the big hand, honey
With your heart up high
You keep asking why, oh why
Don't you know, don't you know
That the answer's in your home
Feel the hole
The song "Exam Room" by Hermano is a sad ballad that speaks about a broken relationship and the aftermath of heartbreak. The first verse talks about how the person has 40 more years to go and drown in their tears, and the little hand is slower than the big hand, which means that time feels like it's moving slowly. The singer of the song then talks to his/her partner and tells them they've been asking why, but the answer is in their home, that's where they can find peace and closure.
In the chorus of the song, the singer tries to tell his/her partner that they know what it feels like to be in their shoes, and if they were still together, things would have been different. However, things didn't work out, and they can only remain friends. The song then repeats the first verse and chorus, emphasizing the pain and heartbreak that the singer is feeling.
Overall, "Exam Room" is a poignant song that captures the emotions of a breakup and the struggles that come with it. The song's lyrics and melody appeal to people who have gone through heartbreak and know how painful it can be.

Now you've got 40 more years
You have a long time left to live
To go drown in your tears
To be sad and cry for a long time
And the little hand's slower
Time moves slowly
Than the big hand, honey
The passage of time seems slow and painful
With your heart up high
You are hopeful and optimistic
You keep asking why, oh why
You are wondering why things are the way they are
Don't you know, don't you know
You have the answer already
That the answer's in your home
The solution to your problems is close by
Feel that hole
You feel lonely and empty
I know what it feels like, baby
The singer empathizes with the listener
If only you and I were one
If only we were together
I know what you're asking for, honey
The singer understands your desires
This thing we're going through ain't no fun
The situation is tough and unpleasant
Just too soon
It happened unexpectedly
I know you know about it
You are aware of what happened
Some nights are hard to see
Some nights are difficult to get through
What about the love we had together, honey
The singer wonders what happened to their love
We're only friends and that's not me
They are just friends and the singer wants more
