"There's an enclave of the punk world where the music still sounds like an austere distillation of America’s forlorn dream. It’s the sound of an old jukebox spinning a Ronettes 45 through a broken speaker, the kid in the garage figuring out the 1-4-5 progression on guitar, the thump of the kick drum banging in 4/4 time through a dilapidated PA. LA's SadGirl sound a lot those early American punks—the miscreants that preceded the nihilists. Their songs sound more rooted in the wake of Motor City soul and Pacific Northwest surf rock than in the formula laid out by The Ramones, but there is still something in their reverb-and-tremolo pop that feels like a reminder of America’s decay."
SadGirl is Misha (guitar + vocals), Dakota (bass) and David (drums).
Breakfast Is Over

But i'm not, your type any way
You're not my girl, and she's coming home tonight
I know you wish, that I could be your one
And last night, I admit, it was fun
But you won't be more than a lover
and baby, your breakfast is over
I know you wish, that I could be your one
And last night, I admit, it was fun
But you won't be more than a lover
and baby, your breakfast is over
If you could, finish your coffee soon
Maybe leave, my place by noon
Feel free to brush your teeth
Just please don't use the same tooth brush as me
Oh girl, I know you'd like to stay
But i'm not, your type any way
You won't be more than a lover
and baby, your breakfast is over
The lyrics of Sadgirl's "Breakfast Is Over" tell the story of a one-night stand in which the singer is telling their fling that they aren't interested in anything more than a casual hookup. The line "Oh girl, I know you'd like to stay, but I'm not your type anyway" suggests that the singer knows the other person wants a deeper connection, but they aren't willing to provide it. The line "You won't be more than a lover, and baby, your breakfast is over" confirms the singer's intentions to end things after this brief encounter.
The second half of the song serves as a humorous and lighthearted way to send the message that the fling needs to leave soon. The lyrics "If you could finish your coffee soon, maybe leave my place by noon, feel free to brush your teeth, just please don't use the same toothbrush as me" showcase the awkwardness of the situation and the singer's desire to maintain some semblance of boundaries.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of detachment and a lack of emotional investment from the singer's side of the encounter. They are simply looking for a casual fling and nothing more.

Oh girl, I know you'd like to stay
I am aware that you want to stay with me
But i'm not, your type any way
But I am not the type of person you are interested in
You're not my girl, and she's coming home tonight
You are not my girlfriend, and my actual girlfriend is returning home tonight
I know you wish, that I could be your one
I understand that you desire me to be your partner
And last night, I admit, it was fun
And I acknowledge that last night was enjoyable
But you won't be more than a lover
But you will only remain my lover
and baby, your breakfast is over
And my affection for you has come to an end
If you could, finish your coffee soon
If possible, please finish your coffee quickly
Maybe leave, my place by noon
Perhaps you should depart from my place before noon
Feel free to brush your teeth
Please feel free to brush your teeth
Just please don't use the same tooth brush as me
However, avoid using the same toothbrush as mine
Oh girl, I know you'd like to stay
I know you would prefer to remain with me
But i'm not, your type any way
Yet, my personality does not match with yours
You won't be more than a lover
You cannot become more than just my lover
and baby, your breakfast is over
And our relationship has ended.

Thought this was a romantic song until I read the lyrics. Guess I'll be doing this to my one night stands after they catch feelings 😂
@mozzyforest
This band is so underrated, they so fucking bad ass
@affie7929
Love it! Voice kinda reminds me of the seeds, I guess maybe it's because of its raspiness and rawness. Great stuff. All of their songs remind me of summer, a miserably good one.
