Philadelphia-bred punk band emerges from the basement scene with melodic and emotional songs capturing youthful sentiment with mature execution. Nick Morrison, Ian Amidon, Scott Stitzer and Sean Reilly play music "because they fall short in almost everything else." - Milkboy
Nick (vocals & guitar) is the original “mumblr”. While demoing the songs to the rest of the band, he would mumble melodies over the music because he hadn't yet written lyrics. He says he has a really bad problem with mumbling in his day-to-day life and liked the idea of a person who softly talks to themselves, either because they have no one to listen or they think nobody cares.
In the fall of 2013, they wrote, recorded and released 4 pieces (Corner Store EP, White Jesus/Black God, Sorry Daddy, Bang Bang EP) solidifying their unique, self-branded sound, "fuzz punk."
Their full-length debut Full of Snakes was released by Fleeting Youth Records on September 16, 2014.
Holy Ghost
Mumblr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can breath and we can bleed and we can make out
I don't care and I don't mind, let's get comfortable
I don't mind
Arguing over what grammar means, the royal we and the holy he
Grumbling uncomfortably, we should make out
In Mumblr's song "Holy Ghost," the lyrics describe reckless behavior fueled by both amphetamines and fantasies. The singer implores their partner to come along for the ride and indulge in their vices together. The line "We can breath and we can bleed and we can make out" suggests that the singer desires a life full of intense experiences, regardless of the risks involved. However, the singer also seems to be struggling with their own feelings, as they repeat "I don't care and I don't mind" and "let's get comfortable" as if trying to convince themselves.
The second verse shifts to a different topic as the singer complains about arguments over grammar and the use of pronouns. The mention of "the royal we and the holy he" suggests a deeper frustration with societal expectations and traditional gender roles. Despite this discomfort, the singer once again suggests making out as a way to escape from their problems. Overall, "Holy Ghost" seems to be a commentary on the allure of self-destructive behavior as a coping mechanism for deeper emotional issues.

Arguing over what grammar means, the royal we and the holy he
We are so disconnected from reality that we find ourselves arguing over trivial matters such as grammar. We are struggling to find meaning in our lives and language.

Though we may feel uneasy and discontent, the solution to our problems seems to be to engage in physical intimacy. We use this as a way to temporarily escape our discomfort and find some sense of connection with each other.
