Tongue Tied
Our Last Night Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Constantly analyzing
Waiting for me to misspeak through selective hearing
Dissected nouns and verbs
Every single sounds been searched
This is not what I deserve
Is it fun to watch me burn?
Holding my head to the curb
Lighting the match with my words
This is not what I deserve
Is it fun to watch me burn?
I better watch what I say
With pitchforks and torches ablaze
You can't wait to turn the world against me
I better watch what I say
Before you tarnish my name
You won't stop until you've got my tongue tied with lies
You've got my tongue tied
You've got both hands on me
Your death grip, tightening
Showing no mercy or understanding
Waiting at every turn
Trying to dig up the dirt
This is not what I deserve
Is it fun to watch me burn?
Following me in a hearse
Haunting my words like a curse
This is not what I deserve
Is it fun to watch me burn?
I better watch what I say
With pitchforks and torches ablaze
You can't wait to turn the world against me
I better watch what I say
Before you tarnish my name
You won't stop until you've got my tongue tied with lies
You've got my tongue tied with lies
You've got my tongue tied
You've got both ears on me
Constantly analyzing
Waiting for me to misspeak through selective hearing
I better watch what I say
With pitchforks and torches ablaze
You can't wait to turn the world against me
I better watch what I say
Before you tarnish my name
You won't stop until you've got my tongue tied with lies
You've got my tongue tied
In "Tongue Tied," Our Last Night speaks to the experience of being constantly scrutinized by someone, likely a significant other or someone in a position of power. With a haunting melody that drives home the emotion behind the lyrics, the band paints a picture of someone who is always watching and waiting for you to mess up. They listen selectively, tuning out important details while looking for the slightest misstep that they can use to tarnish your reputation. The constant scrutiny can feel like you are being held to the curb while someone lights a match with your words. The person holds on tightly, showing no mercy or understanding while they try to find anything they can use against you. It's as if they are following you in a hearse, waiting to haunt your every word like a curse. The constant pressure creates a fear that you have to watch every single word that comes out of your mouth, to avoid putting your integrity or reputation at risk.
The lyrics in "Tongue Tied" are incredibly relevant in today's world where social media and constant connectivity have made it easier than ever to ruin someone's reputation. The fear of being canceled or publicly shamed for missteps is something that many people can relate to. With lyrics about "pitchforks and torches ablaze" and the pressure to "watch what I say" to avoid having their "tarnished name," the song speaks to the fear of being misunderstood, misinterpreted or misrepresented by those constantly watching.

@kristiantaylor9026
If there are any drummers watching this like me, I hope they understand how good Tim is in this! I hope they play this live!
@DLeuther14
Kristian Taylor hello fellow drummer. His style of playing is perfect for this band.
@Swermie
Every album that comes out I immediately learn all of it as fast as I can. It makes the concerts soooo much better hearing everything he does and knowing how every little rhythm falls into place.
@AVEdrums
David Leuther yeh you so right he's technically very strong and plays very creative, like his drum parts are complicated and well-thought!
@TheMatheusmoura
He is a BEAST!!!!
@Vailarian
Sure there are! :) +1
@simeonbuhler9201
Tim is one of the most underrated drummers. He is incredible in the pocket and he creates some of the dopest fills. Dude is a monster.
@josephrosenbaum3343
simeon buhler so glad I'm not the only one that appreciates this. Tim is the one that makes this band for me.
@BigBiscuit
Very swingy fills sheesh
@Ilbahn
Dude is a boss, love that he rocks his natural hair instead of trying to cover it up or anything.
