Lewd Acts' brand of raw noise reeks of true soul and stunning originality. Opting to embrace their pre-1988 punk and hardcore influences, they shun metal tendencies of today's hardcore scene. Vocally crooning and sonically winding their way through each song in ways that are continuously moving and exciting.
A release history: Lewd Acts released their demo in 2005, a recording that garnered enough interest to come out as a 7"EP just a few months later. In mid 2006, they released their "...On Lonely Nights" 7"EP on the Eating Rats label. Early 2007 saw Lewd Acts self release their "Dark Days" CD Collection, which featured the demo and 7"EP, along with three additional songs (a release they gave us that we thought to be awesome). They were also featured on the "Sound & Fury Festival 2006" 2XDVD. In March 2008, the band self released their "Play Me Something That I Know" cassette, which was later followed by their celebrated Split 7"EP/CDEP w/ Hour Of The Wolf in May 2008. Lewd Acts released the "Lung Patrol" 7" on 16OH/Animal Style records in the Fall of 2009.Their last album "Black Eye Blues" was engineered by Kurt Ballou (Converge) at God City Studios and was released on Deathwish .
Lewd Acts broke up in June 2010
tyler then punched his guitarist in the face
but apparently it wasn't hard enough. Lewd Acts got back together in 2012.

Lewd Acts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But at this pace
We'll never be in the same place
I am running out of limbs
I'm down to the last leg of this race
So, if you pass me by again
Please hit the brakes
Because you're the only one
To be the apple of my eye
And how bitter that tastes
Hopping towards the finish line
I am hoping that things will work out fine
But i know that i will soon come to find
That all the mistakes that were made were mine
So, if you pass me by again
Please hit the break
Because you're the only one
Who knows what it takes
To be the apple of my eye
And how bitter that tastes
I'm sorry for everything i said
Except for the apologies
I'm sorry for being sorry
But sometimes you've got to do these things
I've said it all before
I'm rotten to the core
Everyday that goes by
I want this more and more
So here it is, i'll finally admit this shit
I fucked up
I'm fucked up
The lyrics of Lewd Acts's song "Apple Eyes" talk about the struggle of two people trying to come together, but they can't seem to get on the same page. The song begins with the singer talking about how they were supposed to meet halfway, but despite their efforts, they can't seem to be in the same place. The singer is running out of time and feels like they're down to their last leg of the race. They are hopeful that things will work out, but deep down, they acknowledge the mistakes that they've made were their own.
The author uses the metaphor of "apple eyes" to describe a love that is both sweet and bitter at the same time. The singer acknowledges that the person they are speaking to knows what it takes to be their apple of an eye, but it comes with a bitter taste. They apologize for everything they've said, but sometimes apologies are not enough. The author finally admits to messing up, and that they are indeed flawed.
In conclusion, the song captures the feeling of a relationship where two people are struggling to come together. The lyrics convey the message that sometimes things don't work out, and breaking up is regrettable but may be the best thing to do. The singer's vulnerability and honesty in admitting their mistakes make the song relatable to anyone who has gone through a similar experience.

You said that we'd meet half way
You made a promise that we would compromise
But at this pace
However, progress has been slow
We'll never be in the same place
And we may never fully understand each other
I am running out of limbs
I have expended all my energy and resources
I'm down to the last leg of this race
I am nearing the end of my journey
So, if you pass me by again
If you surpass me again in this race
Please hit the brakes
Please slow down and help me catch up
Because you're the only one
You are the one with the knowledge and ability
Who knows what it takes
To achieve the desired outcome
To be the apple of my eye
To be someone special to me
And how bitter that tastes
But unfortunately, the relationship is not sweet
Hopping towards the finish line
I am pushing towards the end despite challenges
I am hoping that things will work out fine
I am optimistic about the outcome
But i know that i will soon come to find
However, I suspect I will discover
That all the mistakes that were made were mine
I am responsible for the errors made in our relationship
I'm sorry for everything i said
I apologize for my behavior
Except for the apologies
Although not for apologizing itself
I'm sorry for being sorry
I am even sorry for apologizing too much
But sometimes you've got to do these things
But sometimes it is necessary
I've said it all before
I have made these same promises in the past
I'm rotten to the core
My character is flawed
Everyday that goes by
As time passes
I want this more and more
I want the relationship to succeed more and more
So here it is, i'll finally admit this shit
So here is my confession
I fucked up
I made a serious mistake
I'm fucked up
I am flawed and need help

Does anybody know what the sample at the end of "that time of the month" is from in the album dark days.

xZipperEdgex it's a mix of Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield" and Da Pharcyde's "Passing Me By".
