2. Reaching all the way back to Bob Dylan and the Band's pioneering blend of mythic Americana and shaggy rock & roll, alongside more recent points of comparison like Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, and My Morning Jacket, Roy (a band, not a dude) blend spiky post-Pavement indie rock with folk and country influences for a sound that's connected to the musical past but not beholden to it. For over a decade, singer and guitarist Brian Cook and drummer Dave Verellen were the mainstays of Botch, a Seattle post-hardcore act specializing in heavy riffs and showy time-signature shifts. Roy began as a side project in 2002, bringing Cook and Verellen together with singer and guitarist Ben Verellen and bassist Mike Cooper. Naming themselves after the small rural town near Tacoma, Roy debuted with 2003's Tacomatose EP, followed by 2004's Big City Sin and Small Town Redemption. Though Roy toured extensively behind their two records, the band went on a temporary hiatus while Cook and Ben Verellen turned their focus to another side project, the more Botch-like heavy math rockers These Arms Are Snakes. Roy reconvened in 2005 to write and record their second full-length album, Killed John Train, which was released by Lujo Records in the spring of 2006.

Just Another Lie
Roy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then another made me your old used to be
How long can his love last when the new wears oh so fast
There'll always be another and another and another just like me
Just like me he'll understand the sorrow of loving you today and losing you tomorrow
I'd warn him but he called it jealousy
So let him be another and another and another just like me
[ ac.guitar ]
The lyrics to Roy's song "Just Another Lie" are a sorrowful account of a failed relationship. The first line "You didn't love me long until the thrill was gone" implies that the love shared by the couple was short-lived, and as soon as the initial excitement and passion wore off, the relationship ended. Roy then goes on to say that the woman moved on to someone else shortly after their relationship ended, leaving Roy behind as just another discarded lover.
Roy then muses on the nature of love, questioning whether the new lover can truly love the woman if their love fades so quickly. He laments that there will always be another person willing to take Roy's place, feeling the same sorrow and heartbreak of loving the woman for a short time only to lose her soon after.
The lyrics paint a picture of a cycle of failed relationships, with the woman constantly searching for something new and exciting, leaving a trail of heartbroken lovers in her wake.
Line by Line Meaning
You didn't love me long until the thrill was gone
Your love for me was temporary until the excitement faded away
Then another made me your old used to be
You found someone else and I became your past
How long can his love last when the new wears oh so fast
Your new lover's love won't last long when the novelty fades quickly
There'll always be another and another and another just like me
You'll continue to find lovers like me, who you will eventually discard
Just like me he'll understand the sorrow of loving you today and losing you tomorrow
Your new lover will also experience the pain of loving you but knowing the relationship won't last
I'd warn him but he called it jealousy
I wanted to caution your new lover, but he dismissed it as jealousy
So let him be another and another and another just like me
Let him suffer the same fate as me and the others before me
