Nate's discography is chock full of self-references. I tried writing down all of them across the Mangled and Sandcastle Kingdoms albums, and while plenty could just be coincidence, there are plenty of intentional references. No More is absolutely everywhere, and I swear the melody of Nightmare's lead guitar in the intro is around a few times as well.
Lyrics in proper order and what he actually says: You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it Left with no words and yet so much to say Now in my darkest hour And not my brightest day I'm always calling you and telling you I should not say I'm melting in your hands Go on make your demands You've got me slipping through your fingers Like I'm made of sand When we hit the lights You're fading out of sight I feel your heart beat Wrap yourself around me Is it all for show Because I'm good to go So go ahead I'll take it all You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it Left with no words and yet so much to say You wanted from me Some honesty So honestly I wanna feel you breathe You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way Now as your lipstick smears By light of chandelier I taste the tension And I'm begging don't you disappear Not in my rightest mind You tell me that's just fine Oh what an evening Now you're leaving With my hands still tied When we hit the lights You're fading out of sight I feel your heart beat Wrap yourself around me Is it all for show Because I'm good to go So go ahead I'll take it all You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it Left with no words and yet so much to say You wanted from me Some honesty So honestly I wanna feel you breathe You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way Between your finger tips And running down your lips You got me up against a wall Is it all for show Because I'm good to go so go ahead I'll take it all You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it Left with no words and yet so much to say You wanted from me Some honesty So honestly I wanna feel you breathe You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're smoke and guns
Sutokid just a minor nitpick, but I think within the context of the song and it’s lyrics “your” would be used rather than “you’re.” Just sharing my opinion.
This song right here is by far my favorite out of this album. Phantom being a very close second. I always enjoy singing along to Nate's music because it faces me with the vocal challenge given the range and in this case the sudden flip from chest voice, to falsetto, and back again. Although I know just how ambitious it is, I wish that I could sing with Nate at least once, whether it be on video or not.
literally a conversation I just had with my sister. Me: "I love Nate" Her: "Who's that?" Me: "The guy singing right now." Her: "Oh, I thought you meant a person." BOY! Nate, your human right? My sis doesn't have some inside knowledge about you being a robot or something right? RIGHT?!
legit one of my fav songs of this album. feels so awesome having listened to your other songs and then you dropped a whole album and every one of those songs fucking slap. they make me sing bad while playing games. 10/10
By far my favourite song on the album. Thank you for this Nate. This album is truly amazing and I hope you continue to follow your passion for making music.
Here are the FULL LYRICS: You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it Left with no words and yet so much to say Now in my darkest hour And not my brightest day I'm always calling you and telling you I should not say I'm melting in your hands Go on make your demands You've got me slipping through your fingers Like I'm made of sand When we hit the lights You're fading out of sight I feel your heartbeat Wrap yourself around me Is it all for show Because I'm good to go So go ahead I'll take it all You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it Left with no words and yet so much to say You wanted from me Some honesty So honestly I wanna feel you breathe You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way Now as your lipstick smears By light of chandelier I taste the tension And I'm begging don't you disappear Not in my rightest mind You tell me that's just fine Oh what an evening Now you're leaving With my hands still tied When we hit the lights You're fading out of sight I feel your heartbeat Wrap yourself around me Is it all for show Because I'm good to go So go ahead I'll take it all You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it Left with no words and yet so much to say You wanted from me Some honesty So honestly I wanna feel you breathe You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way (I wouldn't have it any other way) Between your finger tips And running down your lips You got me up against a wall Is it all for show Because I'm good to go So go ahead I’ll take it all You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it Left with no words and yet so much to say You wanted from me Some honesty So honestly I wanna feel you breathe You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're smoke and guns!
This song reminds me of Panic! at the disco's... uh I can't place which one exactly, but hey that's a good thing because this is your song, AND MY GOD IT'S SO GOOD!
I swear most of the album is Nate yelling "I've got a partner! back off fans and listen to my music instead!" but discreetly because that's how he works.
This my third favorite song out of the whole album and I'm not saying that it's bad or any other songs I just like others more and all the songs you make are great by the way.
But it´s noticable that he is inspired by Panic! because the Songs often have this Panic! Feeling, which is a great Thing, P!atD is my fav band and Nates Songs are so awesome and Keep on reminding me of the Band. So saying it feels like Panic! is not like saying he copied them or anything, it´s a compliment because he is inspired by them and his Songs really give that Feeling P!atDs Songs do.
You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it? I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it? Left with no words and yet so much to say Now in my darkest hour and not my brightest day I find I'm calling you and telling you "I should not say" I'm melting in your hands, go on, make your demands You've got me slipping through your fingers like I'm made of sand When we hit the lights, you're fading out of sight I feel your heartbeat, wrap yourself around me Is it all for show? Because I'm good to go So go ahead, I'll take it all You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it? I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it? Left with no words and yet so much to say You wanted from me, some honesty So honestly, I wanna feel you breathe You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it? I wouldn't have it any other way Now, as your lipstick smears By light of chandelier I taste the tension and I'm begging Don't you disappear Not in my rightest mind You tell me "That's just fine" Oh what an evening, now you're leaving With my hands still tied When we hit the lights, you're fading out of sight I feel your heartbeat, wrap yourself around me Is it all for show? Because I'm good to go So go ahead, I'll take it all You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it? I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it? Left with no words and yet so much to say You're wanted from me, some honesty So honestly, I wanna feel you breathe You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it? I wouldn't have it any other way (I wouldn't have it any other way) Between your fingertips and running down your lips You got me up against a wall Is it all for show? Because I'm good to go So go ahead, I'll take it all You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it? I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it? Left with no words and yet so much to say You're wanted from me, some honesty So honestly, I wanna feel you breathe You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it? I wouldn't have it any other way You're smoke and guns
Everyone keeps saying they're getting panic vibes but the more I listen to it I hear a little more of a set it off with vices and virtues formula vibe than a death of a bachelor with vices and virtues formula tbh
You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it Left with no words and yet so much to say Now in my darkest hour And not my brightest day I'm always calling you and telling you I should not say I'm melting in your hands Go on make your demands You've got me slipping through your fingers Like I'm made of sand When we hit the lights You're fading out of sight I feel your heart beat Wrap yourself around me Is it all for show Because I'm good to go So go ahead I'll take it all You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it Left with no words and yet so much to say You wanted from me Some honesty So honestly I wanna feel you breathe You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way Now as your lipstick smears By light of chandelier I taste the tension And I'm begging don't you disappear Not in my rightest mind You tell me that's just fine Oh what an evening Now you're leaving With my hands still tied When we hit the lights You're fading out of sight I feel your heart beat Wrap yourself around me Is it all for show Because I'm good to go So go ahead I'll take it all You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You're too much fun Think I can't handle it Left with no words and yet so much to say You wanted from me Some honesty So honestly I wanna feel you breathe You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way Between your finger tips And running down your lips You got me up against a wall Is it all for show Because I'm good to go Well either way I'll take it all You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way You wanted from me Some honesty So honestly I wanna feel you breathe You're smoke and guns You think I'm sick of it I wouldn't have it any other way
