SlowMotionNoise officially began in 2005 after a renaming of Sean Sheridan's previous solo project Project Double Ess. In 2007, SMN turned into a full band, with Sean on vocals/synth, Matt Taylor and Jason Haist on guitar, and Dave Bembenek on bass.
During the first half of 2009, SlowMotionNoise saw the departure of Matt and Dave. Shortly after Dave's departure, in June of 2009, Kristin Cavarsan joined the band as the new bassist.
January of 2010 brought a new sound to SlowMotionNoise with the addition of second vocalist Dannie Wright.
In May 2011, original guitarist, Jason Haist, left the band to pursue his hip-hop career.
After months of inactivity and member departures, SlowMotionNoise announced their indefinite hiatus in July 2011. However, in late October Sean stated that he has plans to revive SlowMotionNoise in 2012 as his solo/side project, bringing it back to its original state, however, no new songs have been released since 2014.

SlowMotionNoise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody's dancing. This is what we're all about!
Dont' let them drag you down
Don't let them drag you down
It feels as if we haven't gotten any further
Stuck in the same place
Well it's time to move on now
We're disregarding every word they said
Never give in, never give up
They'll never drag us down
Everybody's screaming, “we gotta get out!â€
Everybody's dancing. This is what we're all about!
Dont' let them drag you down
Don't let them drag you down
I can't pretend that this is easy
When it feels like the entire world
Is trying to suffocate me
What's there left to do now?
Prove them wrong! Prove them wrong!
There's strength in us!
Lets show it to the whole world!
Everybody's screaming, “we gotta get out!â€
Everybody's dancing. This is what we're all about!
Dont' let them drag you down
Don't let them drag you down
This is where we prove you wrong!
This will be your final song!
Everybody's screaming, “we gotta get out!â€
Everybody's dancing. This is what we're all about!
Dont' let them drag you down
Don't let them drag you down

The song captures the essence of a collective spirit, as the opening lines depict a crowd that is screaming to get out and dancing, embodying a sense of liberation and joy. The repeated statement of "Don't let them drag you down" serves as an empowering mantra, urging listeners to not allow others to stifle their ambitions and dreams.
The lyrics suggest that despite feeling stuck in the same place and not making progress, it is time to move forward and break free from limitations. The defiance is further emphasized by disregarding the negative words of others and refusing to give in or give up. The song voices a determination to overcome obstacles and not let the doubters or naysayers affect one's path.
The second verse delves deeper into the internal struggles faced by the singer, where they express the difficulty of feeling suffocated by the world around them. However, instead of succumbing to this pressure, the lyrics encourage finding strength within and proving the skeptics wrong. The chorus echoes the earlier sentiments of breaking free and emphasizes the importance of not allowing anyone to drag us down.
