Tepetricy's wide range of influences, inspirations and musical backgrounds gives Tepetricy a sound like no other, which is apparent in their music. Curtis Becker, a rock reviewer from Emurg.com, agreed with their effort, "...Tepetricy is one of those rare bands who are truly unique. They have a sound that is all of their own." As did Adam Marx of New Rock News, "These guys are totally out of the box when it comes to sound." Tepetricy is not just a band that claims they are original; they have been branded with this statement time and time again.

Tepetricy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What to do and where to go
With Everything that I see,|
All the mistakes around me I did not foresee.
Looking back at the world I left behind
Giving in to my childish design
Invite all to see the frame
A pic or who was to blame
Oh well ya know that its all the same.
I watched you take off your dress eyes on his yours did rest
Oh well at least you did your best if I was him then you've passed my test
Return to find me gone, I'll just drive an hour or two
Then fight to stay alive.
Glass breaks, on my face thanks.... you know I hate hospitals
No one can save me now
All I see that is in front of me all I thought that I could take for free.
Who's opinions should we disagree even when ourselves we cannot see
Who's the one to blame no it can't be me why should I take my own responsibility
Fill my blood with lies of happiness, recall the days in which I lived,
In a world where I had someone I could cry on I just don't know why...
I will wake from this weakness is this just a dream?
You weren't there and I'm not here, were we so far from near?
We're standing on this path of broken glass
We'll stand before returning a loving hand!!
The Watchers by Tepetricy is a song that reflects on the confusion and disillusionment with the world that the singer is experiencing. The lyrics start by acknowledging that sometimes life doesn't make sense, and it can be hard to figure out what to do or where to go. The lyrics then switch to a retrospective view of the past, where the singer sees the mistakes he didn't foresee, and feels a longing for someone, somewhere to help him. However, the singer is soon brought back to reality by the realization that the world is full of people who are the same, and he has to be responsible for his own actions.
As the song progresses, the singer is overcome with despair and questions whether he is living in a dream or reality. This is highlighted by the use of figurative language in the lyrics, such as the path of broken glass that represents the struggle of life. The singer then implores himself and listeners to stand together and offer a loving hand to each other, despite the hardships of life.

I will wake from this weakness is this just a dream?
I will wake up from this weakness, is this just a dream?
You weren't there and I'm not here, were we so far from near?
You weren't there and I'm not really here, were we really that far apart?
We're standing on this path of broken glass
We are standing on a path of sharp, fragile objects.
We'll stand before returning a loving hand!!
Before we return, we will stand shoulder-to-shoulder and offer warm, caring support.
