Founded by brothers John and Cruise Russo, Reverse Order began actively gigging as a complete outfit with Russack and Schaafsma in 2007, originally trading off on instruments. Schaafsma and Russack then left the band, and Mike Spadafora took over on guitar, shortly after adding Justin Bylina on bass to the line- up. After playing at national Pollstar venues like The Stone Pony, PNC Bank Arts Center, Crocodile Rock Cafe, The Meadowlands and The Highline Ballroom, the band played The Bamboozle Festival in both 2008 and 2009 in New Jersey. Justin Bylina left to work on his own projects. [3] Reverse Order has also played on the Vans Warped Tour and at the Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning, among many other national festivals and events. With a new line-up, the band plans to record a new release in summer 2010.
These Walls
Reverse Order Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Isn't it crazy, how you keep making my heart beat faster and faster now,
I'm not the kinda guy who writes a sappy love song,
But what am I suppose to do when all these words I'm thinking of are about you.
And I'll break down these walls to your heart,
You've become such a part of me,
Isn't it crazy the way you make me feel, it's so unreal,
And I can't believe I finally found you.
I wanna write the song that you wanna dance to and I be the boy who asks you,
Like a perfect gentleman, dressed in the best, to show you that you're better then
Them,
I wanna write a song that we both can laugh to, cause that's the best part about
You,
Seeing those bright blue eyes and that smile that I would die for.
And I'll break down these walls to your heart,
You've become such a part of me,
Isn't it crazy the way you make me feel, it's so unreal,
We just met, but it's impossible to forget you,
And I can't believe I finally found you.
Woah, Woah,
Can you shake a little faster now,
Woah, Woah,
Can you feel are hearts beating faster now,
Woah, Woah,
Can you feel our lungs breathing faster now,
Woah, Woah,
Can you feel are lips getting closer now.
And I'll break down these walls to your heart,
You've become such a part of me,
Isn't it crazy the way you make me feel, it's so unreal,
We just met, but it's impossible to forget you,
And I can't believe I finally found you.
And I'll break down these walls to your heart,
You've become such a part of me,
Isn't it crazy the way you make me feel, it's so unreal,
We just met, but it's impossible to forget you,
And I can't believe I finally found you.
So hold on to your breath, cause you just might lose it next,
Before you came around without you I was miserable at best,
So hold on to your breath, cause you just might lose it next,
Let's turn these lights down now; we're getting closer now.
The song "These Walls" by Reverse Order is about a guy who is deeply in love with someone he just met. He is so entranced by this person that he wants to write songs that they will love and dance to. He admits that he is not typically the type of person to write sappy love songs, but he cannot help himself when it comes to this person. He wants to break down the walls surrounding this person's heart and be with them in every way possible. He sings about how this person has become such an important part of him and how it's impossible to forget them.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "And I'll break down these walls to your heart" to emphasize the importance of this person in the singer's life. He cannot believe that he has finally found this person and he wants to make sure that they feel the same way about him. As the song progresses, the tempo picks up and the singer urges this person to come closer to him. The song ends with the singer telling this person to hold on to their breath because they just might lose it next as they turn the lights down and get closer.
