The band was formed in 2008 by Matthew Tybor, also referred to as "The Bunny" hence the rabbit mask and persona he incorporates in the group. Tybor was quickly joined by Chris Hutka, known as "The Bear" who likewise, wears a bear mask.
Throughout the band's formative years and first three albums, they failed to maintain a consistent lineup, cycling through ten different instrumentalists up to the release of The Stomach for It. For the recording of their fourth album Stories, they worked with studio musicians Doug White, a guitarist and the owner of Watchmen Recording Studios and Matt McGinley, the current drummer of Gym Class Heroes. The duo would work with Tybor for the band's following two albums Food Chain and A Liar Wrote This. In 2012, Tybor reduced the band's membership to two vocalists, and he began touring with regularly-changing touring musicians.
The project's original clean vocalist Chris Hutka has maintained a fluctuating relationship with Tybor and the rest of the band, departing three different times: once for a short time in 2012 following the release of The Stomach for It, the second time in 2013 shortly after the release of Stories, and a final time in late 2014. Hutka was featured on all of the band's releases before his final departure.
To date, The Bunny the Bear has released eight studio albums and two EPs. Tybor, being the only consistent member, writes all of the music and lyrics.
Another Day
The Bunny the Bear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another prayer to reach one ear
And fade away
Another torn up photograph
Wrapped tight in flames
I've built my lies on promises, I'll never make
I'm caught up for some reason
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well depends on you
We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well depends on you
Another day
Another prayer it sounds severe
To say : I'm saved
Another torn up photograph
I watched it fade
I never knew the weight would cause my heart to break
When living isn't half as easy
We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well depends on you
We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well depends on you
Another day
Another broken home
I've got myself to blame
I never knew the weight would cause my
Heart to break
Cause my heart to break
We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Together
We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well depends on you
We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well depends on you
We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Well depends on you
We sail the sea together
Searching for a light
We sail through stormy weather
Together?
The Bunny the Bear's song Another Day is a track that delves into the complicated emotions of living life with unresolved issues and the struggles that come with it. The song begins with the singer seeking solace in prayer, but the futility of his efforts causes him to set his past ablaze. His lies, built on empty promises and broken dreams, seem to follow him continuously. The uncertainties of life, survival, and facing life's hurricanes are endless, but the only way to come out of it is by searching for a light within ourselves.
Throughout the song, the singer is sailing the sea with someone, and they are searching for a light in the stormy weather. The person they are with may be a romantic partner, a friend, or even the listener, as the song never explicitly states. The singer is searching for a way to move on from the past and to sail towards a happier life. However, the "well depends on you" refrain at the end implies that they cannot do it alone.
The song speaks to the struggles of life and the need for togetherness in navigating these struggles. It showcases the beauty of seeking help and that moving on is not something we can do alone. The song challenges the notion that people need to suffer alone and that it is vital to reach out and share our burdens with others.

@The Process i agree
The Process
I wish it were still the same. It feels like the new album just wasn't created with the fanbase in mind. It's not terrible but it's not hardcore/post punk.

.-. This song. God I love it. It's different in sound because it's softer than the other's I've heard but it's just as good as the rest. I'm new to The Bunny The Bear, but I'm listening to it all and I'm loving what I'm hearing.

Matt (The Bunny) gave me a hug and complimented me on my dress at their show I went to! Really awesome guy! :D I've always been a big fan, but when I saw them live my love for them exploded! One of the best nights of my life! They are perfect live. I definitely recommend taking the time to see them. Even if you have to travel a ways like I did, it is soooo worth it. <3
