Actors (With the Wrong Lines)

from Intervals by Moving Brooklyn

/

about

Actors was originally in another key with a different instrumental theme. The key was changed, and two ideas were merged together.

The demo of the song has a few notable differences. Ant had the idea of starting the song as it appears on the EP, and the five of us worked out a way to include the bass break in the second verse. Kris came up with the structure of the bridge chants.

Three of us went to eat dinner after practice one day, and Paul was talking about how much childhood friendship can change over time. We had written a song with an old band that touches on a similar subject. There's a reference in the lyrics if you find it.

The title refers to the Asch conformity experiments of the 1950's.

lyrics

Things change
A set of lines, the ebb and flow away from same
But different marked indifference on your life you try to waste
The grounds loose, you're drowning our roots,
And pulling 'em up could make my theory true

I think that you might be fading away
'Cause I can't see half of the smirk on that face
You tear up the winter till we bloom in the spring,
Desperately waiting on a change that you don't need

You've changed
A cutaway to mark your cinematic fade
Band-Aids can relate, straight to the trash when wounds erase
I've said this, I've echoed before,
"Just let me know it's for show once more"

Warmest of November nights, colder in the spring
Waiting on a change that you don't need

You've been acting every worst way
Personality is relative and lately I've been...

If only you valued being true with yourself
We're feeding a fallacy and a change that you don't need

The band quickly spread their name by playing extensively throughout New England. In January 2014, Moving Brooklyn released their debut EP, Intervals, produced by John Naclerio (My Chemical Romance, Just Surrender, Bayside). ... more
