The brothers continued to write songs together and eventually came up with enough material for a new full-length album. Still backed by their label, Equal Vision Records, they wrote and recorded an entire album on their own in Seattle, WA with Producer Casey Bates. The brothers released the album 'A Flair for the Dramatic' on June 26, 2007 under a new name: Pierce the Veil, which is derived from a song of the same name from Before Today's album, 'A Celebration of an Ending.' Soon after, Pierce the Veil acquired new members Tony Perry (lead guitar) and Jaime Preciado (bass). Pierce the Veil toured vigorously for about 3 months after the release of 'A Flair for the Dramatic.'

In November 2007, Pierce the Veil performed one date on the Vans Warped Tour 2007, and were on the entire tour in 2008.

Line by Line Meaning

Please keep chasing me
I want you to keep pursuing me and not give up on our relationship.

You Southern constellations got me so dizzy
Your love and presence in my life is overwhelming and intoxicating, leaving me in a state of confusion.

It's cold but you pretend that you are warm with me
Despite the chilly atmosphere between us, you try to create a sense of warmth and comfort in our interactions.

Before I get you home you're nearly frozen
By the time I can bring you back to my place, you are already feeling emotionally distant and disconnected.

But I'll never let you freeze without me
I will always be there to provide emotional warmth and support to you, even in your times of emotional need and vulnerability.

Oh, no
A simple exclamation of surprise or concern, possibly indicating that the singer is worried about their relationship with their partner.
