about

Jane Pain serves as a confessional/ investigative piece representing the banal tragedy familiar to many - the development of a destructive coping mechanism as a response to a profound existential anxiety, and the unwitting succumbence to a repressed existence. The title “Jane Pain” is a reference to two existing entities which both happened to be full names : 1) Jane Doe - a term often used to refer to a hypothetical "everyman", or a corpse whose identity is unknown or unconfirmed, and 2) A female counterpart to Brian Emo - another character study appeared in “Unnatural Objects and Their Humans”.

DB's "Their Humans" is a series of case studies with the intention of documenting and understanding the perverse banality of modern youth (not) surviving their cruel harsh world.

OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LwgyJ7nLq8&t=286s

The video can be read in two-folds; 1. A found footage, murder mystery style tale on revenge/ cause and effect 2. The setting and plot development serve as an allegory to the protagonist’s mental state - a tribute to Gothic literature*(1). The video also celebrates the unsettling beauty of the macabre, the complex apprehension of the depraved, the joys of extreme (repressed) emotions, the indulgence of fearfulness, and an appreciation for atmosphere. In line with the band’s established philosophy and aesthetics, the song aims to invoke emotions that are not commonly desirable, as a mean to commence the thrills and awe inherent in the sublime.

*(1) One of Gothic literature’s key features is the psychological trappings in relation to the setting, e.g. if a character was in a maze-like mansion, a connection was made to the maze that represents their minds

lyrics

[lyrics]

1.

There are songs about their liberations
and poems about enlightened minds
They talk about the fall of hope
and what is rotten in our time
They might be ways to save your soul
And lift you to a state sublime
Or merely signs of desperate people
trying not to lose their mind

Through the day you purge your feelings
Through the night you numb your grieving
You think it’s all a part of healing
But what is going on inside
Escape to places free of meaning
Stretch a smile to drown the screaming
Repeat till you can't keep on going
We’re here because we’re afraid to die

2.

At the end of the awakening you let that something die
So when the bad things come at you
there’s nothing left inside

Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know zacharypinkham

'60s surf and '90s indie mesh nicely in a fuzzy distortion that is Say Sue Me. Very chill. Makes me want to go to the beach. Strike that, it makes me want to go to Busan and catch one of their gigs! The cover of Genius (김일두)'s One Question is great! Jeremy
