Before signing with Warner Music, Dubuc released several promotional videos for Mystery Skulls, pairing his songs with retro footage of Star Wars, He-Man, and other classics. Mystery Skulls gained significant online traction after an animated video was posted on Youtube using his song, "Money".
The first Mystery Skulls EP is available on Bandcamp, and more songs can be found on Dubuc's tumblr page.
Dubuc's debut studio album, Forever, was released in 2014. This release featured singles "Hellbent," "Paralyzed," and "Ghost," the latter of which received an animated music video featuring original characters. Additionally, Nile Rodgers and Brandy were featured on the tracks "Magic," and "Number 1."
The collection Ultra Rare Vol. 1 appeared on Bandcamp in 2015, featuring previously unreleased material.
"Believe," a remix of the Jackson Sisters' "I Believe In Miracles," was released as a single in 2016.
Dubuc's second (and final) album with Warner Music, One of Us, was released in 2017. His third full-length, 2019's Back To Life, was the first LP self-published through Mystery Skulls Music. Single "Far Away" appeared in late 2019.
Freaking Out
Mystery Skulls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm losing you.
And it's got me reeling,
I need a clue.
Got my heart burning,
I lost my spell.
Can't see you turning up.
This looks like hell.
I can't fight this feeling.
It's not in my head.
I know it was something I did, baby.
I can't fight this feeling.
I'm out of control.
Got to get back to the life that I know!
I'm not freaking out.
But it feels like time is running out.
How did this shit come about?
I'm not freaking out.
But I'm afraid,
Afraid of losing you.
If that's what it comes to, baby.
If that's what it comes to, baby.
It's all you gotta say to me.
If that's what it comes to, baby.
If that's what it comes to, baby.
It's all you gotta say to me.
I just keep onto my tongue,
Until all you want is done.
Alright.
And you just wanna leave me.
Oh- yeah.
Oh- c'mon!
I can't fight this feeling.
It's not in my head.
I know it was something I did, baby.
I can't fight this feeling.
I'm out of control.
Got to get back to the life that I know!
I'm not freaking out.
But it feels like time is running out.
How did this shit come about?
I'm not freaking out.
But I'm afraid,
Afraid of losing you.
If that's what it comes to, baby.
If that's what it comes to, baby.
It's all you gotta say to me.
If that's what it comes to, baby.
If that's what it comes to, baby.
It's all you gotta say to me.
