The group formed from members of Step Lively, The Waiting Process, and Edna's Goldfish in 2000, and soon after began touring the United States. They released an EP in 2002 and signed to Victory Records a few months later. Their debut full-length, Kill Your Television, arrived late that year. In the summer of 2003 guitarist Sherman and bassist Diaz left the group and were replaced by two former members of Count the Stars, Adam Manning and Clarke Foley. However, the lineup did not last long; the group broke up and three members went on to form the Victory Records band Action Action. Derrick Sherman now plays lead guitar and does backup vocals in Long Island band, Sainthood Reps.
Don't
The Reunion Show Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For when you're feeling dead
And there's no one to think of
If you can't figure this out this time
Maybe you should have stayed
Instead of sleeping in his bed
Don't you hate me
This is the song that was playing
There's nothing that you couldn't handle
In your capable
And stylish manner
This place has gotten much to small
For the both of us
Just try and get me to stop
If you can't figure it out this time
Maybe you should have stayed
Instead of sleeping in his bed
Don't you hate me
This is the song that was playing....
The Reunion Show's song Don't reflects on a relationship that has become strained due to the actions of the partner. The lyrics start with the singer urging the listener to remember the good times they had together, but also to keep those memories stored in their head for when they are feeling low and there's no one else to turn to. The second verse implies that the partner has cheated on the singer and that they should have stayed instead of sleeping in another person's bed. There is a sense of anger and hurt in the line "don't you hate me," which is repeated throughout the song.
The chorus contains the lyrics "this is the song that was playing from the day that you said you weren't staying." This line indicates that there was a defining moment when the relationship ended, and the song has become an emblematic reference to that event. The partner is described as being capable and stylish, but the place has become too small for the both of them. The singer makes it clear that they will not be deterred and challenges their partner to stop them, underscoring a sense of confidence and determination.
Overall, the song expresses the painful emotions that come from a relationship that has become fractured due to infidelity. The lyrics provide a raw and honest portrayal of the hurt and anger that the singer feels, while at the same time acknowledging their own strength and resilience in moving forward.

Whenever you see your husband or boyfriend defending the perceived culprit either verbally or physically, that's an unequivocal redlight.
