Following a series of rave reviews and snappy one-liners, the band embarked on the first of many tours that included performances at FEST. Nearly two years and a couple members later, the Blew Its released their follow-up record, Keep Doing What You're Doing.

A Different Kind Of Kindling
You Blew It! Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll find solace in anything that isn't this
I guess I shouldn't have been
asking questions that
I hoped would stay answerless

The only thing that stays the same
is the way you never change
I'm still relentlessly wondering

where the hell you went wrong

I've given my best attempt to blame this on you
but this is something that I'm putting myself through

By now I
should be over this
Let's be honest

The only thing that stays the same
is the way I never change
Still relentlessly wondering
where the hell I went wrong

I'm not going to call you names
because you've already
a name that you've disgraced
I'm not going to call you names
because you've already
a name that you've disgraced

I've found solace in everything that isn't this
