This eventual backdrop of aural textures enhanced by a wall of sound and energy is now named The Panic Division.

San Antonio's The Panic Division posses innate pop instincts that are complimented by the presence of electronic loops and keyboard sampling. Their sound has been defined as "Rock music that brings an electronic vibe to dark, pop-sensible songs." They have the ability to bring a human touch to a style that tends to sound decidedly mechanical. Singer/Guitarist Colton Holliday elaborates on their songwriting process, We write whole songs off of one electronic loop that we created ourselves, and one small sample sometimes spawns a whole song for us.

Starting out being mainly as an instrumental band gave The Panic Division the platform to mold their sound into something fresh and different while at the same time, producing a sound that blends different styles from bands who inspire them. Colton adds, We're into all types of music, and some of us listen to more electronic than rock.

I grew up loving artists like Aphex Twin and Dj Shadow, but then I would go right back to Snapcase. I think our influences definitely show in our music. We love electronic and rock, and try to find a way to combine those two worlds in the right way.

The Panic Division are no strangers to the challenges and triumphs of building a musical career. The band had long outgrown their state wide popularity and adoration by the time the ink dried on their contract from The Militia Group. The Panic Division became increasingly more popular after multiple successful tours and being a promotional machine for themselves.

Overcoming the daunting reality that bands in the San Antonio scene just don't survive, The Panic Division turned down the empty allure from major labels to be on an independent label and make strides to success. Colton Holliday comments on the band's growth, "It was very strange to me the day I started noticing that people I had never seen knew me by name and we knew then that it was time for us to take the next step in our career. We realized it's so important to take a closer look at music and The Militia Group understood where we are coming from artistically. We're stoked about being in the Militia family and cant wait to progress in the industry."

Goodbyes
The Panic Division Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leave with this piece of time. I swear I could sleep for days, if you'd speak your mind. Over and over and over again. You've lost a friend, is this the end of us. Where do we go from here. Pictures of those who came, and they're all the same. Over and over and over again. You've lost a friend, but you act like its so hard to Take Me Back. You know I'm sick of all these Goodbyes. Its just another Saturday. Another day I'm drowning Without You. Well you've done your time. you're not alone. Were ghosts in the night, trying to find our home. Over and over and over again. you've lost a friend, but you act like its so hard to Take Me Back. You know I'm sick of all these Goodbyes. Its just another Saturday. Another day I'm drowning Without You. Take Me Back. You know you gotta give me One More Chance. Its just another Saturday. Another day I'm drowning Without You Pain is choice, but that day, you changed. you're giving up on me. No, no, no we can't stop now. you're giving up on me, but you're not the only one who's tired of this town. Take Me Back. You know I'm sick of all these Goodbyes. Its just another Saturday.

over again.

The lyrics of The Panic Division's song "Goodbyes" explore themes of loss, regret, and the struggle to move on after a relationship comes to an end. The opening lines, "Leave with this piece of time. I swear I could sleep for days, if you'd speak your mind," suggest that the singer wants closure and is willing to wait for it. However, the repeated phrase "Over and over and over again" implies that this closure is elusive and difficult to attain. The line "Pictures of those who came, and they're all the same" further emphasizes the sense of monotony and repetition in the singer's life.

The chorus of the song, "You know I'm sick of all these Goodbyes," expresses the singer's frustration with the constant cycle of saying goodbye and starting over. They long to be taken back, to have one more chance at the relationship, but it seems like the other person has given up on them. The lines "Pain is choice, but that day, you changed" suggest that something happened to cause the relationship to fall apart and that the singer blames themselves to some extent for what went wrong.

Overall, "Goodbyes" is a poignant and introspective exploration of the pain and complexity of ending a relationship. The lyrics reveal a deep sense of longing for connection and a desire to find a way to move forward despite the heartache.
