Since their first performance at LA’s The Smell in April 2006, the band have continued Wives’ tradition of incendiary live shows, playing as frequently as possible, expounding a visceral energy on an equal footing with their recorded output, via guitar, drums, vocals and a minimal amount of effects. No Age’s music is deceptively simple in its construction, yet thoroughly compelling. Raw, considered and skilfully arranged, these eleven tracks are overflowing with ideas, ambition and intent. Both Randy and Dean are also involved at The Smell in a curatorial, social, and artistic sense. The Smell is an all ages space dedicated to underground music and art. Citing The Smell as seminal and inspirational to many, and at least partially responsible for the existence of both their bands to date, it’s a mutually supportive grass roots space reflecting No Age’s DIY ethic. It is this building that features on the front cover of their debut album for FatCat, ‘Weirdo Rippers’. The band also make video, performance and visual art under the name No Age and by themselves, and curated the ‘Get Hurt’ exhibition in LA, featuring works by Devendra Banhart, Rich Jacobs, Ron Rege Jr., Matthew Thurber, Susan CianCiolo, and Ashley Macomber to name a few.
They have released three albums to date, 2007's "Weirdo Rippers" (a compilation of early material). The band released five limited vinyl-only releases on a variety of DIY indie labels across the globe on the same day. Weirdo Rippers is a collection of highlights for these releases. Despite its multiple sources, the tracklisting for Weirdo Rippers follows a narrative of its own, cohering effectively as an album. In mid-2008, the band released the single "Eraser", which has since become the band's best known song. This was followed by "Nouns" their second release in 2008 titled Nouns, on Sub Pop. The album was rated 9.2 (out of 10) by Pitchfork Media. In 2009 they put out their second Sub Pop release, an EP of loop and sample-based songs called Losing Feeling, a continuation of their punk-filtered pop songs with a few straightforward songs and a few more abstract compositions that harken back to their early EPs. The third release was 2010's "Everything In Between".

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The line "you should dance away (from me)" from No Age's song "I Wanna Sleep" can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the listener's perspective. Generally, the song is about the desire to disconnect and sleep, leaving behind the pressures and worries of life, including relationships. The line can be viewed as a message to a partner or friend to distance themselves from the singer, allowing them to escape the emotional toll of the relationship.
Moreover, the line may be a reflection of the difficulty individuals face in balancing their relationships with their personal needs to recharge and disconnect from the world. The presence of the other person could hinder the singer's ability to find the needed space for self-care, symbolized by sleep.
Overall, the line can be seen as an acknowledgement of the importance of personal boundaries and self-care in a relationship. It highlights the need to take care of oneself to be able to give to others in a healthy way.

I agree with qfabny - found this song (your video) a few years ago. since then, whether it was pump-up music for exams or a must-listen-to-get-me-through-this-run, your video pops into my head when the drums come in and I can't help but feel tingly and give it an extra kick and grin like a fool when the "chanting" starts in. love it.
