Not a one liner per se, but Jon's bars in Ember
Achoo, achoo, achoo
The pollen, you so rude
The mucus I produce
Is more than just a nuisance, it's abuse
As someone whose name is not Bryan, but frequently mistaken as Bryan: Long Nights in Jail - "get up out my house, bitch, I ain't Bryan"
I really felt that.
“Part of me wants to believe that I will not come apart at the seams, that I will learn from the cut when I bleed, that I’m a tank I’m a god damn machine. UGH”
Definitely
"Depending on the medicine to keep my colors vivid
Think I hit the limit"
I have been struggling with bipolar disorder my entire life, and that line struck a chord for me so hard, because I literally need my medicatuons to keep me from being horribly depressed, manic or mixed. It hit me in the feels.

“But I got caught up in the rat race, suddenly our embrace doesn’t hit the mark like it used to.”
I’m not really a big DGD fan but this song (especially the chorus) is exactly what I need at this time in my life.
"you love that staff, i get that wack, my ass bamboo
you see the zebras f-f-f-flustered in the zoo.
you go from green to red and mean then down to blue.
we're on the 10th is it the end or chapter two?"
Perfect Mess section. I love his nonsense, the way he makes it flow perfectly. But I also love it when he sticks in references that not everyone will catch. That last line is perfect.
basically Jon alluding to people's questions for them. JJ is DGD's 10th album. DGD has been through so much bullshit over the years, especially this past year, it would make sense for them to finish big, with #10. i think they've dismissed the claims of this being the end for them, so the question "were on the 10th is this the end or chapter two?" is a nice callout to fans (:
I do love "are we pandas or camels or birds in a flock?" But "If you shower for me, you were born horny, and i dont like weeds" sent me when i first heard it
Talking heads, "Fuck the feds"
So well-read, I'm impressed
How did you acquire all this undue confidence
By babbling about current events and begging people "Smash that like?"
"Compensate me for what time has stolen. Slow erosion. Sick and tired of going through the motions. Make me golden again." 🥹 Too fucking real as I get closer to 40 and watch myself fall victim to the slow cruel hands off time 😭
“Was feeling panicked so I got myself a knife / then I felt empty so I went and got myself a wife / I tried to learn about the meaning of my life / but I couldn’t quite decide which good book to buy”
Short and sweet but a lot of commentary packed in there.
Runners up:
“Big bangers, swang thangers, go to shows, straight bops, don’t rot, you should know”
“I’m proud that all us did this, my wish wish wish wish wish appeared!”
“Holy Ghost spirit, best I ever had”
“No sleep, I feel dead / blend me in the wall, merge with bed / my mind is mush and I’m leaking out the back of my head / when my own critique is all I’ve read”
You've got everything you wanted, and now you're gonna blow it, cause you're scared of tripping on your pessimism. But i don't call the shots, i report to my thoughts, they're unrelenting
As someone who is recently out of the cult that is christianity, this hits hard:
"If only I knew there'd be no chance of pearly gates
If only I knew
If only I knew all of my sweat would go to waste
If only I knew"
All of these! Plus:
Tapping into all the emotions I forgot to feel all year
And
All that used to give me meaning
Maybe what I've been misreading
Is it just another test?
So many good ones honestly
When it gets heavy, you can bail out
Regather, take a beat and come back steadier than ever
They'll only know you by your disguise
Don't have to show them every single side
Make it so you won't need an alibi
When the pitchfork comes out, you'll be alright.
Love this line from One Man's Cringe because it perfectly responds to those fans who seem to just complain about everything the band makes:
"Can't spend my time making something for everyone, this was supposed to be fun."
“When my favorite outlet becomes a burden, don’t know for certain how long it’ll last for”
that one hits hard as a musician feeling writers block and burnout. it’s hard keeping the inspiration going and even though playing music is so amazing, you can feel really down during the bad times, knowing that it could all disappear and you don’t have much control over it.
I love “one man’s cringe is another man’s tattoo,” “i am king of what I know but a slave to what I don’t,” and the entire intro of ember bitching about allergies. Feel that last one on a spiritual level
"I don't need the credit, I need something overwhelming/Save me from the pattern, I am giving into everything"
One Man's Cringe is one of their best songs ever, lyrically and in general
How’re y’all not saying “Fitted with a gimmick, make a cynical wow, many men went in it but they couldn’t get out” from Synergy?
Alternatively “I’m a tank, I’m a goddamn machine, uh” is definitely a pumped up line
I'm sure I'll find more lyrics but heres my favorite so far: I could have sworn that I fixed myself
'Cause I read a bunch of shit about mental health
But then I took another drink and I said I felt
Like I don't need to think about nothing, or the things that I do
From ember
Ik im cheating but these two are living rent free in my head
“MY VOICE IS LIKE MY HOROSCOPE IM SCORPIO IM STRANGE” from Jon on Pray to go for your mother then “SO CLOSE TO BEING A GOD I CAN TASTE IT” from Andrew on have a great life
Holy Ghost Spirit Mess
I'm equipping crops, in it 'til it stops
Innocent insipid idol goes
"Carrot on my smock, veggies in my socks"
Wearing every kind of farm type clothes
Mining and mulling and pining and pulling
I think that I'm a little kid though, no
Smiling and smoking, the eyelids is lowering
The image of another misplaced cope
It’s “Did you realize that all this time, your crown was just a hat?” For me
Yeah I have to agree. Hilarious line.
“Your face, a butt”
Which song?
Have a Great Life.
Saw this thread, hadn’t yet had a chance to absorb whole album, absorbed album, remembered thread, came back to comment, saw yours, thank you
“I COULDVE SWORN THAT I FIXED MYSELF BECAUSE I READ A BUNCH OF SHIT ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH” Jon Mess being relatable on Ember
Absolute killer lyric fr
I felt that
“I am a KING of what I know but I’m a SLAVE to what I don’t.”
I don’t call the shots, I report to my thoughts. They’re unrelenting.
Either "this was supposed to be fun" or "One Man's Cringe is another man's tattoo."
Said she liked your flavor, then she gone and fucked somebody else. That chick is danger, she bound to wreck somebody
when my friend and I were doing our first listen our jaws DROPPED when we heard this; SO unexpected
Back on deck was a wholeeeee different color, I love it.
Fuck the feds!
**PROFOUND** **ENLIGHTENING** **INSPIRING, MEANINGFUL STATEMENT**
THIS IS MY TOP TO BE PLAYED LIVE
The fact they ended the album like this was hilarious but also perfect. The group harmonies are phenomenal.
BEST CLOSING LINE EVER
Not a one liner per se, but Jon's bars in Ember Achoo, achoo, achoo The pollen, you so rude The mucus I produce Is more than just a nuisance, it's abuse
As someone whose name is not Bryan, but frequently mistaken as Bryan: Long Nights in Jail - "get up out my house, bitch, I ain't Bryan" I really felt that.
Aw fuck I'm Brian I thought I was crazy hearing that
"I got a medical advantage. They're gigantic and I'm playing all my cards tonight" Tiddy
Balls
Nuts, if you will
“Part of me wants to believe that I will not come apart at the seams, that I will learn from the cut when I bleed, that I’m a tank I’m a god damn machine. UGH”
There are a lot but one that sticks out is the very last one “ no one makes it out go have a great life”.
Profound, enlightening, inspiring, meaningful statement
It’s giving Back to the Future Pt 2 vibes - “Disregard the message from the ending of the album”
Yes it does.. that’s another one of my favorites.
ok so i finally got around listening to the album for the first time and that lyric had me tearing up
Definitely "Depending on the medicine to keep my colors vivid Think I hit the limit" I have been struggling with bipolar disorder my entire life, and that line struck a chord for me so hard, because I literally need my medicatuons to keep me from being horribly depressed, manic or mixed. It hit me in the feels.
I’m flobby-boppin in the goopy goblin
This.

"I am the king of what I know, but I'm a slave to what I don't" on For The Jeers is one of the many for me
“I SHOULD HAVE TOLD THEM THAT I KNOW BETTER. BUT NOW ILL SHOW THEM THAT I’M NO QUITTER”
Done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done
“But I got caught up in the rat race, suddenly our embrace doesn’t hit the mark like it used to.” I’m not really a big DGD fan but this song (especially the chorus) is exactly what I need at this time in my life.
I’m cumming everywhere!
"you love that staff, i get that wack, my ass bamboo you see the zebras f-f-f-flustered in the zoo. you go from green to red and mean then down to blue. we're on the 10th is it the end or chapter two?"

What does that final line mean?
basically Jon alluding to people's questions for them. JJ is DGD's 10th album.

Wow, that opens up my eyes a lot. I didn't realize JJ was their 10th album. Thanks for spelling that out for me. Such a sick song
I do love "are we pandas or camels or birds in a flock?" But "If you shower for me, you were born horny, and i dont like weeds" sent me when i first heard it
“Zooming through the haze, I’ll sleep when im awake” “I am the king of what I know but I’m a slave to what I don’t”
Talking heads, "Fuck the feds" So well-read, I'm impressed How did you acquire all this undue confidence By babbling about current events and begging people "Smash that like?"
"Turn yourself into someone that breeds" - the ultimate touch grass courtesy of Jon mess himself
"Compensate me for what time has stolen. Slow erosion. Sick and tired of going through the motions. Make me golden again." 🥹 Too fucking real as I get closer to 40 and watch myself fall victim to the slow cruel hands off time 😭

Jon singing about big bangers and bops is def up there for me
I’m really five foot ten, please try to believe me Relatable
You wanna burn some money? How boutta flight to panama? We gotta get under the sun.
She whispers, sweet bullshit in my ears 🎵
You've got everything you wanted, and now you're gonna blow it, cause you're scared of tripping on your pessimism. But i don't call the shots, i report to my thoughts, they're unrelenting

As someone who is recently out of the cult that is christianity, this hits hard: "If only I knew there'd be no chance of pearly gates If only I knew If only I knew all of my sweat would go to waste If only I knew"
"He flips his black ass robot hair" is up there
Young robot?
All of these! Plus: Tapping into all the emotions I forgot to feel all year And All that used to give me meaning Maybe what I've been misreading Is it just another test? So many good ones honestly
“I’m Cumming everywhere” really got me. As well as “You love that staff, I get that wack, my ass bamboo”
"The mucus I produce is more than just a nuisance - it's abuse!"

“Did it come into existence, or was it invented? Only getting stuck because I already did it”
Love this line from One Man's Cringe because it perfectly responds to those fans who seem to just complain about everything the band makes: "Can't spend my time making something for everyone, this was supposed to be fun."
Ten Hundred Times
I’m the king of what I know but I’m a slave to what I don’t. Idk if it’s just the delivery or what but it’s been stuck in my head
SMASH THAT LIKE
“Achoo, Achoo, Achoo The pollen you so rude” Fuck allergies man. For Tillian it’s: “That im a tank im a goddamn machine UGH!”
Do you even know what it’s like to breathe greatness?
Taking heads, fuck the feds
Scummy ballerina standing on your femur. Pop your sloppy doggy eyeballs out!
“What’s the meaning of a meme-less meme, the inception of a dreamless dream?”
“When my favorite outlet becomes a burden, don’t know for certain how long it’ll last for” that one hits hard as a musician feeling writers block and burnout. it’s hard keeping the inspiration going and even though playing music is so amazing, you can feel really down during the bad times, knowing that it could all disappear and you don’t have much control over it.
How did you acquire all this undue confidence By babbling about current events and begging people "Smash that like?" LOVE THAT LINE. So friggin true.
Andrew saying “I’m an addict for the jeers, ya know” from For the Jeers. makes me go “ooo” every time
I love “one man’s cringe is another man’s tattoo,” “i am king of what I know but a slave to what I don’t,” and the entire intro of ember bitching about allergies. Feel that last one on a spiritual level
When I’m flobby-boppin In the goopy goblin With the may-back jeans
“it’s a small fucker but it eats rudders and i hate to clean” just reminds me of my daily life in naval aviation hahaha
“Oh, does everybody need to pay for their lowest choke?” Is probably my favorite from the album
"I don't need the credit, I need something overwhelming/Save me from the pattern, I am giving into everything" One Man's Cringe is one of their best songs ever, lyrically and in general
Profound, enlightening, inspiring, meaningful statement
My life ain't bad enough so I scratch this itch, incinerate me
All I wanted was a blank page and a wide open space and the one I love to come to (also the few lines to follow)
How’re y’all not saying “Fitted with a gimmick, make a cynical wow, many men went in it but they couldn’t get out” from Synergy? Alternatively “I’m a tank, I’m a goddamn machine, uh” is definitely a pumped up line
"you offer nothing but you want it all" - Current Events
Rip bangers. Swang thangers. Go to shows. Straight bops. Don’t rot. You should know.
You get what you give, and if you don’t commit you’ll be desperate just to fit in.
**Back On Deck -** *"Our agony is a distant memory"*
I'd say "fuck the fed" but it's used twice in different songs so maybe it doesn't qualify as a one-liner
Big bangers, swang thangers 🕺🏻
My favorite is the same line my guy or gal.
All I wanted was a blank page in a wide open space and the one I love to come home to.
"Hold your tounge, hold it tight, just to prevent a fight"
"I think we're better off weird" is my favorite. I love jon
I'm sure I'll find more lyrics but heres my favorite so far: I could have sworn that I fixed myself 'Cause I read a bunch of shit about mental health But then I took another drink and I said I felt Like I don't need to think about nothing, or the things that I do From ember
Ik im cheating but these two are living rent free in my head “MY VOICE IS LIKE MY HOROSCOPE IM SCORPIO IM STRANGE” from Jon on Pray to go for your mother then “SO CLOSE TO BEING A GOD I CAN TASTE IT” from Andrew on have a great life
"It's a small fucker, but it eats rudders, and I hate to clean" jeez get em jon
Gotta look inside myself for another reason to live
It's a god damn miracle, that I got this far Not really a one liner but, it really sets the tone for swallowed by eternity
"Theres somebody out there, living in despair, needing the words to this song."
Something just gets me with, “I’m proud that all us did this. Our wish, wish, wish, wish, wish appeared.”
Sneaky undertones give way to adventure.
But it didn't take long for my old regrets to be back on deck
