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.
In My Sleep
Mystery Skulls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fucking makes me sick wish you would turn it down
And you're telling people I've been biting you (oh)
But you know that isn't true, you can't do this like I do
It's funny how you see it
Your vision narrow minded
I see you trying to fake it
You can't do this like I do
I fucking wrote this in my sleep
I fucking wrote this in my sleep
How does it feel to know your songs are all a joke?
While you try to sing we're laughing as you choke
You keep telling people I've been biting you
But you know, and I know that isn't true
It's funny how you see it
Your vision narrow minded
I see you trying to fake it
But you know it isn't true
You can't do it like I do
I fucking wrote this in my sleep
I fucking wrote this in my sleep
You can't do this like I do it
Because I wrote this in my sleep
I fucking wrote this in my sleep
The lyrics of Mystery Skulls's song "In My Sleep" are a scathing indictment of someone who is envious of the singer's musical abilities and success. The singer has clearly heard this individual spreading rumors and talking about them behind their back, causing him or her to feel sick. The accusation that they have been "biting" this person's style is particularly hurtful, as the singer knows that it isn't true.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that the singer's detractor cannot possibly replicate their talent and skill, since the lyrics were literally produced in their sleep. The line "Your vision narrow minded" suggests that the person has a limited understanding of what it takes to create music and cannot grasp the true extent of the singer's brilliance. The repeated assertion that "you know it isn't true" reinforces the idea that the rumors are baseless and unfounded.
Overall, the message of "In My Sleep" is one of defiance and self-assurance. The singer knows that their detractor is wrong, and their ability to create music effortlessly only serves to reinforce that fact. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not going to let the negative rumors get in the way of their success, and will continue to produce great music despite the jealousy of others.
