Gorgeous Behavior
Marching Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You told me right but I did wrong
We don't know where to begin
You sing me songs and move along
When are you gonna go back there, when are you gonna go?
And then you bring me up and sing me down
When will you sing us up again?

We don't have it, we don't have it, no, no
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, we don't
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, no
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, we don't
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, no
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, we don't
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, no
We don't have it, we don't have it, no, we don't

Mimic myself and retracing my steps
If I was thinking, what was I thinking?
Put it away with a messed up night
Lyrics come out, just an album's worth

You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
You and your gorgeous behavior

He talks about girls like he talks about cars
You don't know where to begin
You tell him off by being nice
You know very well how you know so what to be
Your kindness almost makes you feel bad and still you know
That being harsh is even worse

You don't like it, you don't like it, no, no
You don't like it, you don't like it, no, you don't
You don't like it, you don't like it, no, no
You don't like it, you don't like it, no, you don't
You don't like it, you don't like it, no, no
You don't like it, you don't like it, no, you don't
You don't like it, you don't like it, no, no
You don't like it, you don't like it, no, you don't

Living a life for the past 15 years
For the first time you can feel what you're thinking
That you're up late but it will be worthwhile
Comfort myself knowing it was for a reason

You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
(Are you never going to stop?)
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
(Are you never going to stop?)
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
(Are you never going to stop?)
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
(Are you never going to stop?)
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
(Ahh...)
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous

Trying so hard but it always gets worse
From this day on you will follow your instincts

You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
(Are you never gonna stop? Ahh...)
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
(Are you never gonna stop? Ahh...)
You and your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous
(Are you never gonna stop? Ahh...)




You are your gorgeous behavior
No, you're behaving too gorgeous

Overall Meaning

The song "Gorgeous Behavior" by Marching Band reflects on the struggles of communication and misinterpretation within a relationship. The first stanza portrays a back-and-forth conversation where one person is uncertain of where to begin and the other is frustrated with their inability to effectively communicate. They both long for a resolution and for things to return to the way they once were. The repetition of "we don't have it" emphasizes their disillusionment with the current state of their relationship.


The second stanza shifts the focus onto the individual, as they reflect on their past mistakes and try to make sense of their current situation. The lyrics suggest that the individual is trying to reconcile conflicting emotions and thoughts, with lines such as "mimic myself and retracing my steps" and "living a life for the past 15 years." The chorus resurfaces, with the repetition of "you and your gorgeous behavior" suggesting that the partner's behavior, while attractive, causes confusion and uncertainty.


The final stanza resolves the inner turmoil of the individual, as they vow to follow their instincts and trust themselves moving forward. The repetition of "you and your gorgeous behavior" throughout the entire song emphasizes the importance of effective communication, and highlights the need for honesty and clarity in any relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

You told me right but I did wrong
You gave me good advice, but I made a mistake


We don't know where to begin
We are unsure how to start


You sing me songs and move along When are you gonna go back there, when are you gonna go?

We do not have it, no we don't


Mimic myself and retracing my steps If I was thinking, what was I thinking?
I am copying myself and going back over my actions, wondering what I was thinking


Put it away with a messed up night Lyrics come out, just an album's worth
I am storing away the memories of a difficult night, and inspiring new music


He talks about girls like he talks about cars You don't know where to begin

You tell him off by being nice You know very well how you know so what to be Your kindness almost makes you feel bad and still you know That being harsh is even worse
You confront him by being polite, because you know how to handle the situation. Your kindness almost makes you feel wrong, but you know that being harsh would be worse

You have lived a certain way for the past 15 years, but now you can finally understand your own thoughts. You may be staying up late, but it is worth it, and you find comfort in knowing that there's reason behind it


Trying so hard but it always gets worse From this day on you will follow your instincts
Despite your hard work, things do not improve. From now on, you will trust your instincts


You and your gorgeous behavior
You and the way you act are beautiful


No, you're behaving too gorgeous
Your behavior is too perfect


(Are you never going to stop?)
Will you ever change?


You are your gorgeous behavior
Your behavior is what makes you beautiful

How do people find out these bands without popular shows?

Nate Liebmann

some people actually like music, they follow artists and music labels, they read up on where and when a band came from where they did, they know the music that those artists listen too...

Milan Boëhm

you can also spend hours on youtube and discover hundreds of songs each weeks, in every genre possible (drifting form bands that you know already, and the music they listen, as Nate Liebmann say!)

I found this band by shazam app in supermarket this morning
