For The Orwells, Remember When will be an introduction of sorts—the 12-track rat-race shows the band’s repertoire of pranging riffs and sneering, snot-nosed vocals. The tracks are a walloping war-cry from a generation that up until this point has only offered bubblegum pop—the animus of The Orwells. It’s quite clear early on the in listening to the LP that the band is well aware of the past, the homage rings through the record, using the ghost of punk’s past as their musical sprit guide. However, the band straddles the thin line between their influences and their originality, ripping riffs and smashing drums in a fashion that their age into being just another fact mentioned in their bio.

The Orwells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We ain't the worst, we ain't the best
Drink all night, I'm such a mess
There's something missing in my chest!
Show me the hill, show me the view
I swear I'm coming back for you!
I lost my mind, I lost my shoe
I found myself when I found?
Come from L.A. back to Brooklyn
Take my body till the morning
Now I'm leaving without warning
She said let's stay up all night long
Everything's right, and nothing's wrong
That girl don't wanna see the dark
She came so quick, and now she's gone!
What's coming next, I just don't know
I'll be your fort, I'm coming home
Now I'm alone, I can't relax
I won't forget about the?
Be my savior, be my woman
Come from L.A. back to Brooklyn
Take my body till the morning
Now I'm leaving without warning
What's your name, and what's your story?
Hell is heaven, I'm still horny
She's so fine and I'm so boring
I still want you in the morning
The morning
In the morning
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Without warning
Be my savior
Be my woman
Come from L.A. back to Brooklyn
The song "Dirty Sheets" by The Orwells explores the theme of wanderlust and the search for a sense of fulfillment. The lyrics talk about the singer's journey from the East coast to the West and the experiences he had along the way. He describes himself as a mess who drinks all night, and there's something missing in his chest that he can't quite put a finger on. Throughout the song, he tries to find that missing piece, sometimes through fleeting relationships with women he meets on the road, and sometimes by seeking solace in the landscape he encounters. He promises to come back for that view someday, and even though he's lost his mind and his shoe, he feels he's found a part of himself by being on this journey.
The song's chorus is a plea for someone to be his savior and woman. He wants someone to take care of him and help him find the missing piece. Even as he tries to find something fulfilling in his journey, he comes up short, and the singer ends up alone, unable to relax. The song ends on a slightly hopeful note, with the singer still yearning for the woman he met and wanting her in the morning, even as he leaves without warning.

From the East coast to the West
We've travelled from one end of the country to the other
We ain't the worst, we ain't the best
We're not the worst people out there, but also not the best
Drink all night, I'm such a mess
I've been drinking all night and now I'm a complete mess
There's something missing in my chest!
I feel like there's something important missing inside me
Show me the hill, show me the view
Please take me to a high point where I can see the entire cityscape
I swear I'm coming back for you!
I promise to return and visit you again
I lost my mind, I lost my shoe
I've lost both my sanity and footwear
I found myself when I found?
I feel like I discovered my true self, but I'm not sure what led to that realization
Be my savior, be my woman
I'm asking someone to save me and be my partner
Come from L.A. back to Brooklyn
I want someone to come with me from Los Angeles back to Brooklyn
Take my body till the morning
I want to have sex with someone until the morning comes
Now I'm leaving without warning
I'm leaving abruptly without giving any notice
She said let's stay up all night long
The person I was with suggested that we stay awake throughout the night
Everything's right, and nothing's wrong
At that moment, everything felt perfect and nothing seemed to be going wrong
That girl don't wanna see the dark
The person I was with doesn't want to experience anything negative
She came so quick, and now she's gone!
Things escalated quickly between us, but now she's gone
What's coming next, I just don't know
I have no idea what's going to happen next
I'll be your fort, I'm coming home
I'm assuring someone that I'll be their protection and that I'm coming home soon
Now I'm alone, I can't relax
Now that I'm by myself, I can't calm down
I won't forget about the?
There's something I don't want to forget, but I'm not sure what it is
What's your name, and what's your story?
I'm curious about who you are and what your life story is
Hell is heaven, I'm still horny
Despite feeling like I'm in a messed-up situation, I'm still sexually aroused
She's so fine and I'm so boring
The person I was with is attractive, while I feel like I'm dull in comparison
I still want you in the morning
I still want to be with you when the morning comes
The morning
Referring to the next morning
In the morning
Again, referring to the next morning
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Repeating that I'm leaving
Without warning
Again, emphasizing that I'm leaving abruptly
Be my savior
Asking someone to save me
Be my woman
Asking someone to be my partner
Come from L.A. back to Brooklyn
Repeating my desire for someone to come with me from Los Angeles to Brooklyn

From the East coast to the West
We ain't the worst, we ain't the best
Drink all night, I'm such a mess
There's something missing in my chest!
Show me the hill, show me the view
I swear I'm coming back for you!
I lost my mind, I lost my shoe
I found myself when I found...
[Chorus:]
Be my savior, be my woman
Go from LA back to Brooklyn
Take my body
'Til the morning
Now I'm leaving without warning
She said let's stay up all night long
Everything right and nothing's wrong
That girl don't wanna see the dawn
She came so quick, and now she's gone!
What's coming next, I just don't know
I'll be your fort, I'm coming home
Now I'm alone, I can't relax
I won't forget about the...
[Chorus]
What's your name, and what's your story?
Hayley's heavy
I'm still horny, she's so fine
I'm so boring, I still want you in the morning
In the morning
In the morning
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Without warning
Be my savior
Be my woman
Go from LA back to Brooklyn
Vegemite
From the East coast to the West
We ain't the worst, we ain't the best
Drink all night, I'm such a mess
There's something missing in my chest!
Show me the hill, show me the view
I swear I'm coming back for you!
I lost my mind, I lost my shoe
I found myself when I found?
Be my savior, be my woman
Come from L.A. back to Brooklyn
Take my body till the morning
Now I'm leaving without warning
She said let's stay up all night long
Everything's right, and nothing's wrong
That girl don't wanna see the dark
She came so quick, and now she's gone!
What's coming next, I just don't know
I'll be your fort, I'm coming home
Now I'm alone, I can't relax
I won't forget about the?
Be my savior, be my woman
Come from L.A. back to Brooklyn
Take my body till the morning
Now I'm leaving without warning
What's your name, and what's your story?
Hell is heaven, I'm still horny
She's so fine and I'm so boring
I still want you in the morning
The morning
In the morning
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Without warning
Be my savior
Be my woman
Come from L.A. back to Brooklyn

Just great! It's so much like some underground 1950's or early 60's stag 8mm loop. A very inspired and great looking video!
