- We all live in the tropical paradise of America known as New Jersey. Here, a pizza is a pie, there is a diner around every corner, and there are more bands than people and cars put together.
- Vlad and Matei are brothers from Romania. And Misha is an ambassador from mother Russia.
- Dan DiLiberto is the only member of the band born in the US.
- Vital information: Misha (Lead Vox/ Rhythm Guitar); Vlad (Lead Guitar/Vox); Matei, (Bass/Vox); Dan (Drums)
- We played our first show March 27th, 2003 and still have the entry bracelet, one day hoping to sell it on E-Bay for massive amounts of money.
- We have played shows that we booked/organized ourselves ever since, making a plethora of friends but also having bands argue with us over thirty dollars that they obviously deserved to get paid for bringing their girlfriends to the show.
- We tend to make jokes that only we think are funny on stage and off.
- After searching for a label that suits our style of music and doesnt mind our ogre-like looks, we signed to Doghouse Records, who is also home to amazing people that write amazing music such as The Honorary Title, Limbeck and Meg & Dia . Also let us not forget Say Anything, The Get Up Kids, The All-American Rejects, and tons more bands that all began their careers on Doghouse Records.
FIRE THE CANNONS

Between 2010 and 2011 the band was dismantled.
Stepping Stone
Jet Lag Gemini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a lot of things you've done I'd damn you for
From finger to finger, from head to toe
I do hope you're alright
And it's time to admit it's my fault
That we don't talk anymore, no
A beaten road where no one goes
And though I've left my post
The ones who meant the most
Wrote you a song, a stepping stone
Wait and stay, without you I'll decay away
And there won't be a whole lot that's left of me
With muscle and marrow and strength in my bones
I will tear out the bricks
That are holding together the walls
That divide our frail homes
I'm winter cold in maiden fall
A beaten road where no one goes
And though I've left my post
The ones who meant the most
Wrote you a song
I'm winter cold in maiden fall
A beaten road where no one goes
And though I've left my post
The ones who meant the most
Wrote you a song
I'm winter cold in maiden fall
A beaten road where no one goes
And though I've left my post
The ones who meant the most
Wrote you a song, a stepping stone
The lyrics of "Stepping Stone" by Jet Lag Gemini express the pain and regret of a speaker who is reflecting on a lost relationship. The first stanza of the song sets the tone for the regretful sentiment throughout the rest of the track. The singer asks if the person they are addressing has found their way and admits that there are things the person has done that they would "damn" them for. The uncertainty conveyed in the line "from finger to finger, from head to toe, I do hope you're alright" highlights the sadness and longing that the singer feels for the person.
The second stanza begins with a metaphor that compares the singer to winter in its coldness and emptiness, and to a beaten road that no one visits. The idea that the singer has left their post, but those who meant the most wrote the person they lost a song serves as a metaphor for both the immensity of their feelings and their reluctance to explicitly confront the person they lost. The singer's pain is palpable throughout the song and is reminiscent of the melancholia and regret that arise from the end of a relationship.

Wait and stay, without you I'll decay away
Expressing the importance of the person staying in my life or else feeling like I will deteriorate
And there won't be a whole lot that's left of me
Feeling like I won't have much of myself left without the person in my life
With muscle and marrow and strength in my bones
Using all of my physical and emotional strength to break down the walls that keep us apart
I will tear out the bricks
Destroying the obstacles that prevent our connection
That are holding together the walls
The walls that keep us separated and distant
That divide our frail homes
The walls that separate and weaken our homes
