First and foremost, Transmatic showcases frontman Joey Fingers perceptive take on the fragility of human relationships. He loads his songs with multiple meanings, keeping the personal details veiled under layers of sharp metaphors. Although the Indianapolis foursome prefers to let listeners take their own meanings from these songs. Even as the lyrics take on the world with a healthy grain of salt, Baldauf, bassist Andy Carrell and drummer Kirk Fredrickson never allow the music to get dragged down by the darker side of cynicism. They compliment Fingers acute storytelling with soaring songs that build on one catchy riff after another.

Transmatic was produced by Neal Avron (Fall Out Boy, Yellowcard, Everclear), in a process that deeply affected the band members.

Come
Transmatic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Candles aflame
Drank all the red wine
Dancing to jazz, you know you keep me in time.
And your skin's so soft.
Lips are so wet.
Afraid to move a muscle
Yeah I'm holding my breath.

And you asked me what I said?
And I tell you, I tell you now

Are you coming with me (coming with me)?
I always come for you
Coming with me, are you coming with me
I always come for you

Got it all down, got it all right
Putting moves together cause it's Saturday night
And I'm all about you
You feel it for me
Can't wait a second now
What will it be?

And you asked me what I said?
And I tell you, I tell you now

Are you coming with me (coming with me)?
I always come for you
Coming with me, are you coming with me
I always I always come

This could be the place
My fingers through your hair
And now we're getting somewhere
Turning off the lights
Fighting for your lives
Everything's all right

Holding my breath
Biting my tongue
If you don't understand it
Well, it won't last long
I've got, nothing to try
You haven't seen yet
Move a little closer cause it's your best bet

And you asked me what I said?
And I tell you, I tell you now

Are you coming with me (coming with me)?
I always come for you
Coming with me, are you coming with me
I always I always come

Don't know how
Don't know why
You're gonna make it alright

Coming with me, are you coming with me
I always come for you
