Orchestrate The Incident, the gritty, feel good band from New Bedford, MA, has managed to blend their love of good-time rock 'n roll with the melody and brutality of the hardcore music they've grown up with. Formed in April of 2004, Orchestrate the Incident has gained experience and inspiration while performing with some of the scene's biggest acts such as Folly, Underminded, and Vanna. OTI continues to write the high-adrenaline music they've become known for while keeping every song full of sincerity and smiles. No matter how far they go, the band will always remember where they came from and why they started; for fun.

Orchestrate the incident Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's behind your back, sidestepping every wink. Be careful, be careful. Trust me. You're in for a painful ride. I know it, we all know how he operates. Step out of my shoes. He does it every time and time again. I'll show you that you're the one who's been mislead. You're just fixing yourself up to get let down. Just fixing yourself up to get let down a lot worse than her. Blind your heart. Blinded mind. Abduct your hope. Cleanse the dirt from your face and lie yourself down. You're finally done digging your hole. A round of applause for the working man. Let's kick the headlines to the curb and start this dance. Tell her I'm scum. Tell her I'm dangerous. Tell her you love her for what she was. Try any harder and you'll break a sweat. Badmouth me more boy, you just might make her wet. I've had it, had her. Your decency has been compromised. Don't revive what died. Yeah, I may have missed the last horse out of dodge but i embrace that mistake and became the ruler of a place where only I could play; from rock bottom to the grandest king.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Infamous reflect upon a situation where the singer warns someone to be careful of another person who is deceiving and manipulating them. The warning is based on experience and the knowledge that the person in question has a pattern of behavior. The singer takes the position of someone who has been on the receiving end of this deception and is now a vision of the aftermath. The lines "just fixing yourself up to get let down" and "blind your heart. Blinded mind. Abduct your hope" convey the idea of someone who is putting in effort only to be disappointed in the end.

The lyrics also suggest a hint of revenge or satisfaction on the part of the singer, who has emerged victorious after being taken for a ride. Lines like "Tell her I'm scum. Tell her I'm dangerous" and "Badmouth me more boy, you just might make her wet" reveal a sense of defiance and a desire to take ownership of the situation. The last line of the song is particularly interesting - "from rock bottom to the grandest king." It suggests that the singer has finally taken control of their life and turned their situation around, perhaps by learning from their mistakes and becoming wiser.
