Leaving the basement behind for the road, August found the band touring through the Canadian Midwest with Smallman recording artists Daggermouth. On their return, the band jumped in to the studio and recorded 7 songs to be featured on their fittingly titled debut E.P, Dude Manor. After winning over a solid local fan-base, the Lions released Dude Manor and enjoyed two successful tours down the American West Coast.
As both the band and the neighbour's noise complaints became more serious, a move had to be made to a proper jam space. After the most epic of parties, Living with Lions moved out of Dude Manor leaving their first chapter behind. As for the future, they are looking forward to a Cross-Canada tour in the fall, followed by a new full length due out early in 2008.

Living With Lions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shattered my consequence.
This shit is sinking fast.
We did everything to make it last.
We're dying.
(That night)
The world fell to pieces
The seam's were ripped and useless
(I'm falling)
Falling, I'm falling apart from you.
I stare out windows as another year goes by.
I watched us grow apart just like the tree in my front yard.
I watched us throw away opportunity,
Until this day came.
We're dying.
(That night)
The world fell to pieces
(Undone)
The seam's were ripped and useless
(I'm falling)
Falling, I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart from you
Piece by piece,
I'm falling apart from you
Trying to keep hold.
Piece by piece,
I'm breaking apart from you
It's time to let go.
I'm broken, I'm shattered.
We both lost sight in what we had.
The ties we shared
Have worn out thin, beyond repair.
We had the world in our hands,
Now I'm falling apart from you.
(That night)
The world fell to pieces
(Undone)
The seam's were ripped and useless
(I'm falling)
Falling, falling apart from you.
The song "Pieces" by Living With Lions is a poignant and heartfelt reflection on the breakdown of a once-strong relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and sadness, as the singer laments the loss of a love that was once so promising. The line "I'm broken again, shattered my consequence" suggests that there have been previous attempts to mend the relationship, but they ultimately failed. The repetition of the phrase "We're dying" emphasizes the gravity of the situation and the sense that there is little hope left.
The chorus of the song ("That night, the world fell to pieces...") creates a vivid image of a cataclysmic event that caused the relationship to unravel. The use of the phrase "ripped and useless" to describe the seams of the relationship further underscores the idea that it is beyond repair. The singer's sense of helplessness is captured in the line "I'm falling apart from you" which is repeated throughout the song. The final verse offers a sobering realization that the ties that once bound the couple have "worn out thin, beyond repair."
Overall, "Pieces" is a powerful and emotive song that captures the pain of a relationship gone awry. The lyrics are skillfully crafted to convey a deep sense of loss and regret, and the repetition of certain phrases creates a haunting, almost hypnotic effect that lingers in the mind.

Love this song and this album. Saw these dudes at a private show in 2016. Went to the Greater Vancouver Zoo then saw Chase and friends play acoustic songs later that day. Great, great day.
