On July 16, 2013, 3 days after the band's first show, Smallpools released their eponymous debut EP. The record included Dreaming and 3 new songs, "Mason Jar", "Over & Over" and "No Story Time". Smallpools spent the summer supporting Australian indie popsters, San Cisco, on their first U.S. Headline tour. Later that year, Smallpools toured in support of Cincinnati, Ohio indie popsters and label mates Walk the Moon, and also in support of another Cincinnati indie pop group, twenty one pilots.
The group's debut album, Lovetap!, was released on March 20, 2015.
Admission To Your Party
Smallpools Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go meet your brand new friends on the water slide
I's cool no matter what the police may find
But you realize there's no coming back
If you don't get what you want
Oh, and it feels like, just a song and dance
Revered by everyone
Admission to your party, don't you let me down
I want admission to your party
Admission to your party, yeah
Be cool when everyone looks you up and down
Give some filet mignon to a Persian hound
Pack all your your morals up with your finest gown
Cause your real life is never coming back
If you don't get what you want
When it feels like, it's no promise land
But it's still one pretty lawn
I want admission to your party, it's the best in town
Admission to your party, don't you let me down
I want admission to your party
Admission to your party, yeah
Every night you compel me just to come along
Every night we complain it's not some other one
Every night you compel me just to come along
Every night we complain it's not some other one
So you decide you wanna fool the world
You get a Bengal Tiger and a string of pearls
But when the secret's out they're gonna spread the word
And then nobody's ever gonna say
I want admission to your party, it's the best in town
Admission to your party, don't you let me down
I want admission to your party
Admission to your party, yeah
I hear it's the best in around
I want a ticket to the soiree
Admission to your party, yeah
The lyrics to Smallpools' song "Admission To Your Party" depict the desperation and desire to be part of the popular crowd and attend the best party in town. The song opens with the suggestion to "Go get some complimentary bourbon chai, go meet your brand new friends on the water slide." This paints a picture of a luxurious and exciting event where everything is free and everyone is having a great time. However, the lyrics then acknowledge that "it's cool no matter what the police may find" and "pack all your morals up with your finest gown" - hinting that the party may not necessarily be legal or morally upstanding.
The chorus of the song centers around the desperation to be admitted to this exclusive party, with the repetition of "I want admission to your party, it's the best in town, admission to your party, don't you let me down." The lyrics describe the fear of missing out and the belief that attending this party will lead to a better, more exciting life.
However, the final verse highlights the consequences of trying to be part of this exclusive crowd. The suggestion to "get a Bengal Tiger and a string of pearls" to impress others will ultimately lead to one being exposed and ostracized. The line "when the secret's out they're gonna spread the word, and then nobody's ever gonna say" emphasizes the fleeting nature of popularity and the danger of sacrificing morals and values to be part of the in-crowd. Overall, Smallpools' "Admission To Your Party" is a cautionary tale about the dangerous allure of popularity and the importance of staying true to oneself.
Line by Line Meaning
Go get some complimentary bourbon chai
Get some free alcoholic tea and enjoy yourself
Go meet your brand new friends on the water slide
Go make new friends and have fun on the water slide
I's cool no matter what the police may find
Everything is fine, even if the police find something suspicious
But you realize there's no coming back
You know that once you do something, you cannot undo it
If you don't get what you want
If you don't get what you desire
Oh, and it feels like, just a song and dance
It feels like everything is fake and superficial
Revered by everyone
Admired and respected by others
Be cool when everyone looks you up and down
Be confident when people judge you
Give some filet mignon to a Persian hound
Offer a fancy meal to a luxurious dog
Pack all your your morals up with your finest gown
Forget your principles and dress in your best clothes
Cause your real life is never coming back
Your previous life will never return
When it feels like, it's no promise land
When it seems like it's not the paradise it was supposed to be
But it's still one pretty lawn
But it still looks good on the surface
Every night you compel me just to come along
Every night you convince me to go with you
Every night we complain it's not some other one
Every night we wish we were at a different party
So you decide you wanna fool the world
So you want to deceive everyone
You get a Bengal Tiger and a string of pearls
You obtain exotic possessions to show off
But when the secret's out they're gonna spread the word
But once the truth is revealed, people will talk about it
And then nobody's ever gonna say
And then nobody will want to go to your party again
I hear it's the best in around
I hear that it's the best party around
I want a ticket to the soiree
I want an invitation to the fancy party
Admission to your party, yeah
I want to come to your party

My favorite band for years!! Seen them in concert a few times and met them! Their music has become a part of my adolescence and is now so nostalgic to listen to.
