The blessed event and conception of Idle Hands took place in the early weeks of December 1998 in the back-seat of a Saturn at the local Claremont, California Denny's. Three members from the hardcore punk band Suburban Empire and ex-singer from the early leagues of Emo-core band COPPER, thought that a new direction and sound was well needed in their music careers. A clean and fun mix between West Coast hardcore-punk with East Coast melodic-driving vocals, gave birth to a fast and fresh new sound and energy.
Lyrics:
I was the luckiest girl in the world
You were so delicate, simple and pure
We'd never separate
Every night, this we swore
Our lives were meaningless if one should walk out that door
And now I can't explain how the walls came down
Everytime I turn to you you're nowhere around
Now all our days together turn to days spent apart
Well tell me what's this lucky girl to do
I don't want to be forever longing for you in some bitter melody
But I'll go on as I stumble through this haze
I was the happiest girl in the world
You were the only one I simply adored
We'd always be together
We'd never be torn
Our lives were meaningful until you walked out that door
And now I can't explain how the walls came down
Everytime I turn to you you're nowhere around
Now all our days together turn to days spent apart
Well tell me what's this lucky girl to do
I don't want to be forever longing for you in some bitter melody
But I'll go on as I stumble through this haze
I turn to touch your face
But all I feel is your cold
I yearn for your embrace
But all I get is your shoulder
What have I done to you
To make you feel this way
My love belonged to you
What more can I say?
I don't want to be forever longing for you in some bitter melody
But I'll go on as I stumble through this haze
